• they both have very distinct flavors. i like the taste of cacao better, and even though it has caffience, both of them make me jittery. i also think carob is too grainy.

• don't get a jack la lanne. it wont juice any greens that i put through it. i've tried doing the fruits and veggies in different orders to get more juice, and it still won't give me any.

• avl, when i crave fat, i eat hot food instead. i make steamed broccoli, zucchini, carrots, or any other veggie. it gives me the satisfaction of having something warm and filling. i read in 80/10/10 that if given a choice, you should go for a low fat…

• avl, glad i'm not the only one!! my skin isn't so bad now, but when i first started, it was the worst on my chest, back, and arms. i was constantly itching and picking at it. my face only gets bad when i get my period.

• the only detoxing symptoms i had were pimples. maybe you won't experience any at all. i transitioned to raw after being vegan so i guess it was easier.

• ofthesea, how long did you do 80/10/10? it has totally changed my digestive problems. i'd say you have to do it for at least 2 weeks to experience the wonderful effect. you should also eat 1 lb of greens a day. it's a ton, but that makes a differenc…

• i love broccoli both ways... same with spinach. i never had a problem with eating tons of veggies cooked or raw. i do like raw tomatoes though. tomato sauce and ketchup are ridiculously SWEET to me. i also like celery when it's not cooked.

• i think the crust could be dates and macadamia nuts or cashews. that would be really good. for the filling, i'd go with raw almond butter mixed with bananas in the food processor. i love the combo of those two flavors.

• la ensalada, if you stop buying them, you won't crave them as much. i used to be a total nut addict, but once i decided to cross them off my shopping list, i don't need them at all. nobody else in the house buys them so i'm not tempted either.

• blueyes, i've tried hemp seed butter and it's very good. i bought it though, so i don't know how to make it. i would make a smoothie using apples!! my blender can't blend really hard fruit (or greens) so i'd make a killer smoothie. a warm soup sound…

• yes, i do. i used to have acne on my face, chest, and back before going raw. i tried every face wash and cream under the sun, but eating whole, fresh foods definitely made a difference. it's cleared up so much now and my pores have gotten a lot smal…

• i just ate steamed broccoli last night and i feel like i'm gonna barf this morning. i'm not a huge fan of raw broccoli, so i figured i'd steam it. i used to eat steamed ALL the time. i'm kind of bummed.

• I'm not sure if the Ezekial brand products are gluten-free, but they taste amazing. I ate those pre-raw and they are much healthier than Thomas's english muffins.

• valeria, after i wash my face at night, i blot tea tree oil on my face with a cotton ball, and then put a coin-sized amount of jojoba oil on my hand and rub that into my face. the combination works really well and i rarely get dry skin.

• I've never run a marathon and I give you a total thumbs up for doing it!!! That is damn hard work!! Usually before running, I have a green smoothie (spinach and then fruit), or a couple of bananas.

• i guess it depends how raw you want to be. i stopped chewing it a year ago because my doctor said it creates air bubbles in your stomach and then gas. before that, i used to chew a pack a day. it's nice not chewing it anymore. i save a lot of money.
