  in Tips for Losing Weight for the Raw foodist Comment by Zaphirah Sunflower

• Are you rotating your greens? Each plant has something in it that if eaten in LARGE quantities, over a long period of time will cause you to become repulsed by it. This is a survival mechanism for the plants so that they are not over eaten in nature…

• I enjoy fasting and just came off a 20 day juice/water fast. IMHO, 20 hours won’t give you a whole lot of detox-but it is a starting point. I have been able to build up to 34 days. (this one was shorter due to the high energy demands of my 4 dc. I w…

  in got the whole family to go raw! Comment by Zaphirah Sunflower
• Thank you. It’s been really great to see them all feeling happier. They are struggling a little bit with their peers making fun of their foods. They are a sensitive group (lol) and they are only 8,10,10-so peers are incredibly important right now, a…

• Johnny, my love, can I just tell you how much I admire your strength? ABC did a disservice to you and your healing path. That’s unfortunate. But what really matters is that you have brought education to the masses re: orthorexia and that you are hea…

  in Orthorexia: ABC 20/20 TONIGHT Comment by Zaphirah Sunflower
• I do think that each person had the moral responsibility to find what works for them PERSONALLY and use a blanket to cover ALL people everywhere. 100% raw is the ONLY way for me to control my food binging, a life long battle. But I don’t necessarily…
