• what recipe were you using previously? this sounds a lot like the one i use (radish_man's on this site) except it uses rejuvelac and adds zucchini and apple. the lemon is a good idea, though. i'm surprised i didn't think of that - the green taste gr…

• all very interesting responses. mine has been going on since i went raw in august, but in the past few days, it is starting to even out. i never drank coffee or non-herbal tea and rarely ate chocolate, but i think in my case it may be/have been stre…

  in Insomnia Comment by samesofam
• i don't have much advice - i slept fine UNTIL going raw, and now i can't sleep for more than a few hours at a time (which is really inconvenient since i work a nine-to-five). some herbs/natural remedies helped me before i somehow gained some kind of…

• do you ever make or buy (lydia's makes a decent one) dehydrated bread? that is good to have around for veggie-avocado sandwiches or for pizza (zoe's spring onion cheese is great). a simple marinara takes no time at all. raw soups don't go down well …

• good for you. i think i'll follow your example and do the water with lemon much more often next time. and maybe it was the peel as i juiced the entire thing. i searched for information on it being toxic but couldn't find anything. thanks! s

• hooray! you are almost there. i caved this morning. two days is enough for my first time, i think. plus i'm not even 100% raw, so the discipline thing is a challenge! but i did feel pretty light and good by the end, especially after my FIRST-EVER co…

• have you looked into how you're combining? there are a lot of different levels and subtleties to this, but i would try them out if i were you. also, juicing might help you with the vegetables if you haven't already tried that. if you've made a sudde…

• i live in the san francisco bay area, so it doesn't ever get that cold really, but i am a wimp and my office has no heat. i also drink lots and lots of hot water. i never eat my soups cold; it grosses me out. at least i'll get the bowl nice and hot …

  in what happens when you don't WANT raw? Comment by samesofam
• thanks rawkidchef. i guess soup is good for an upset-ish stomach whether you’re raw OR cooked! i’m not in transition, really, anymore, though. i was about 80-90% raw for a couple months when i altered my diet with less fruit, and then suddenly the t…

• you could puree some soft silken tofu and add some flavoring (a few drops of vanilla or peppermint or something). silken tofu doesn’t really taste like soy to me; it tastes like nothing. i’ve never done this; it was just an idea. s
