  • I had this problem through my first tries, now I watch how I blend my foods. The more complex ones, especially if there’s nuts in the mix give me not so pleasant digestion. But I think it also gets better as time goes and your body begins to adjust.
  • I have to agree with you David, I also started out making all these gourmet dishes with plenty of nuts because well, I was clueless. I was bloated all the time and often feeling heavy in my guts. All I crave now are fresh juicy fruits and vegetables…
  • I’m a former hypoglycemic and I can tell you what I do. I cut up two or three types of fruit, the fruit I eat on a regular basis are apples, pears oranges and banannas. I mix the bits well then I add about a tablespoon of ground flax seed on top, bl…

  • Satnam – Well it’s great that raw is coming to Norway somehow, hopefully it will get more popular as time goes. I’m about 100% raw up to 10 days before my period lol, then I start craving things like chocolate, rice, beans, you name it. I’m very ple…
  • Hei Satnam! I’m not Norwegian but I live here, my husband is Norwegian. I’m from the Caribbean, yes I gave up that evershining sun hehehe. It’s wonderful to see another person in Norway who eats raw food! Sometimes it feels as though I’m the only on…
  • I live in Trondheim Norway, there’s no doubt of cold here. What I do to warm up is put cayenne pepper in my dishes and they tend to be a bit richer in fats and protein this time of the year than in warmer months. If I crave something warm I’ll eat s…
  • For me it would be being tempted by fresh crusty grain bread which thankfully doesn’t happen often. Steamed, boiled, baked tubers/root vegetables with olive oil and salt also draw me in if I see them. Brown rice at times. Chocolate once a month and …
  • I agree with Zoe, Spirulina has B12 but also has something that prevents the body from absorbing the B12 which cancels it out. Besides nutritional yeast, ants and dirt, I don’t think there’s any other B12 option for vegans. I just take a B12 every n…
  • Menstruation is detox by itself. I get so weak and depleted while menstruating that the idea of fasting through it isn’t something I would consider. However, if you did a green juice or smoothie fast it should be very positive because chlorophill is…
  • I sent this video to my family, I can’t thank you enough for posting it. They would normally not listen to me and put whatever I say in the “health food talk” bucket, but this really got the message through. My father is shocked, well he’s already b…
  • I also get anxiety symptoms from cacao. Store-bought cooked chocolate didn’t do this to me because it was so diluted, but the fresh stuff does. I’m also sensitive to caffeine. Well, in a nut shell, cacao is a stimulant and while some rever in it, ot…
  • This may sound awful but I don’t believe the US has a democracy. After Bush became president it was made clear to me. My approach to politics is to take charge of my own life, to the point where I don’t need a government and hopefully become an insp…
  • I can’t take cashews either, as I write this I face the consequences of having eaten some in a carrot “pumpkin” pie I made, I think I’ll use macadamias from now on. Every time I eat cashews I feel heavy, nauseous, bloated and plain bad. I think I wo…

  • I’ve done raw for a few months and don’t have a dehydrator. So far I’m not planning on getting one either, the blender, food processor, cutting board, peeler and knife are my stars. I find that the simplest stuff is the best, and when I dehydrate st…
  • Someone on RawFoodTalk warned people who have battled with drug addictions about raw cacao. Said he gave them a try and it gave him the same feeling from when he did whatever drug he did and that was years back. He also said he had to be careful wit…
  • Mariennord, you’re not alone! I’m a foreigner in Norway so having these strange ideas like eating fresh food isn’t quite a shocker ;) Like Zoe suggested, you should take a course in raw food, there’s a place in Sweden that gives classes (http://www.…
  • Day 9. Today my scalp is oily enough to make me want to wash my hair but not totally disgusting just yet. I’ve been brushing my hair quite alot with a vegetable brush, something I normally didn’t do because it would split the locks, now there’s lock…
  • It’s day five for me since the last time I washed my hair, and drenched it in flax oil! Well, today I used about half a teaspoon of baking soda on my head and massaged thoroughly to the point where I had built a lather and washed my hair with that, …
  • I rinsed and rinsed with almost hot water, scrubbed the locks like a pair of socks but gently of course, when I felt that I could do no more I rinsed with cold water and stepped out. (My hair is just below the shoulders, not as short as in the pictu…
  • Queenfluff it was your response in rawfoodtalk that brought me here last night, I couldn’t thank you enough! It’s reassuring to hear that about Victoria, she does have beautiful hair. What motivated me to just put oil in my hair was remembering an o…
  • I’ve read the whole thread, yes, the WHOLE thread! WOW! I didn’t know anything about this, I’ve been enlightened tonight. I have normal hair and only need to wash it after 3 days or so, sometimes I take longer. I stopped using soap on my face a whil…
