  • Hi momof4, I too used to weigh over 200lbs, I now weigh 185 which is still high but my body has changed, I am more muscular and my shape has changed too. I would incorporate as much greens as possible, and although this is hard especially for a stay…
  • Hi Made in Brazil, I had massive gas and really bad gas too, it was the beginning of detox for me, then it was very loose bm’s, very bad bloating and nausea. Eventually as I ate clean greens and fruit a few bouts with more nausea, bloating, gas, and…
  • Hi I am in my 40’s (early 40’s) deciding to start eating living foods has completely changed my life. It was such a gift of love to myself that it has changed my attitude and behaviour towards the outside world completely. I am more open, my attitud…

  • Hi I may have replied already but I will do it again to reacquaint myself with people. I am from Washington DC but currently live in Marsala Sicily Italy. Upside of living in Sicily? Gorgeous weather almost 300 days of the year :) I think I am the o…
  • Hi Elizabethh, the same thing happened to me, I went raw and people I hung out with and I started drifting away. I was concerned initially but then I took comfort in the fact that I was putting in my body the best food ever and so I am probably grow…
  • Planet organic, thanks so much, you really gave me peace of mind w/yr advice. I am drinking water still and the tummy is beginning to calm down. I think I may switch to green juice tomorrow and take it slow. Man! that was wild, did not see it coming…

  • Hi kdelicious, I ended up staying. My real motive for wanting to move back home was because my relationship was rocky earlier this year. We have since gotten married and come to common terms with what we want and its a partnership now, so yes I am s…

  • Hey Queera, I didn’t realize you were in Ireland…listen…I am in southern Italy in a small town population 70,000 there is no exotic fruit here, finding an avocado or mango is like christmas for me and I can’t even get Kale…I was back home in the st…
    in Clarify RAWists! Comment by deasmiles
  • Hi Queera, I am of the opinion that whatever works for you is fine. In an ideal world we’d all be 100% raw all the time, but there are people who stay 80% for a long time. Just do what you can and you will be fine. Also for me when I am exhausted an…

  • Hi Shari, so sorry you had this awful reaction. It sounds like bacteria to me, sometimes no matter how carefully we wash things, some bacteria sticks to it. It was probably a one off, so I wouldn’t worry about it so much. Hope you feel better :) ps.…
  • Hi K-mom, wow those dates look amazing. I finally found some natural dates, I got them at a Tunisian store in this town nearbye… They are called Deglet Noor and they aren’t as soft as the medjool dates or the baharis (I remember those from when I li…

  • Hi lils, I think although I have no facts to support this theory for coconut milk in particular, I think that most things that come in a can, bottle or container are pasteurized to stabilize the product and ensure no bacteria growth, so my guess wou…
  • Wow raw intruder, I am totally inspired by your description too. So my day yesterday, woke up and did yoga. It felt good to streach as I am lifting weights and feel tight. I then drank a glass of green juice and made a smoothie. I did my meditation …

  • Hi Lapetite, do not be intimidated. I have been raw since April and I live in an area where young coconuts and some of the tropical ingredients are not readily available. The very first raw recipe I made from this site was the walnut taco meat. I at…

  • Hi Odessa7, when raw for me anyway I have noticed that I am super sensitive to many things. I have read several times that wheatgrass should be taken on an empty stomach and that nothing should be eaten for 20 mins to 1/2 hr after taking it. Another…
