• glamazon, i'm so happy to see you back. i always love reading your comments. the thing i like about eating raw foods is that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. you can eat 3 raw meals a day or 1 raw meal a day. it's all about making you and your …

• I was trying to think why I had a dream that I ate a Big Mac, and it's definitely because of this forum posting!!! haha I woke up and could not comprehend what I had just done. It was gross!

• i feel so much better knowing that i'm not the only one who eats so many bananas!! i usually have a bunch for breakfast (about 6) and then the same for dinner or a dessert. my mom thinks it's totally crazy and gets so mad that i don't share them!! h…

• i just started eating more 811 a few weeks ago. i'm glad you told me about this so i'd know what to watch out for. i generally don't eat a lot of greens at all... maybe 2 or 3 times a week. i don't know how to help with your mouth problems! i'm sorr…

• sv3, heating them in the dehydrator sounds soo good!!! i haven't tried that yet but i definitely will. i thought they tasted really good cold, too, so i can't wait.

• i don't know how much time you want to put into this, but this site has the BEST cinnamon rolls. they took a few hours to make though. i would definitely consider them a dessert because they were super rich and satisfying. i like them better than th…

• virgenmarie, canned beans are not raw but you can buy dried and make your own sprouts. i'm pretty sure the oats and bread are not raw either. i usually make my own nut milks because no where around me sells raw ones. the staples in my house are bana…

• i just started 811 so i could manage my weight. i've heard it helps and i figured i would see if it makes a difference. my main problem is my belly area. i CANNOT seem to get rid of the fat there. i gained about 10 pounds ever since i started the ra…

  in Can you be fat? Comment by joannabanana
• i think if you're daughter seems to be healthy and active, then her calorie intake is just right. everybody has a setpoint weight where it is just natural (your body isn't trying to lose or gain). i used to eat a crazy amount of dates, too!!! now i …

• lively, i didn't know you could eat raw dairy. i've never been able to eat dairy because my stomach can't handle it. what kind of things do you eat raw? do you eat raw beef and stuff like that? i'm vegan, but i still like hearing how others eat. eve…

  in My foray into raw eating Comment by joannabanana
• rawskeptic, i've noticed that i am much more tired, too. i take a nap every day now. i've gained weight (muscle) ever since i started eating more 811. the weight you are losing isn't muscle at all. it's all fat or water weight. and you don't need mo…

  in My foray into raw eating Comment by joannabanana
• i don't really understand the problem with combining fats and proteins. all foods have fats and proteins so it's impossible not to have them at each meal. the nuts are very high in fat and probably slow the digestion down of the other foods you eat …

  in food combining Comment by joannabanana
• rawaholic, this happened to me when i had an eating disorder, too. i started adding more fats to my diet and within 2 weeks, i got my period again after not having it for 10 months. in order for your body to give up anything (your period), it has to…

• meditating, i love your point of view on this. i feel the same way. my aunt breastfed her kids until they didn't want it anymore- they were older than the usual age, too ( 6 and 8). it is only natural to want your mother's milk, so i don't see a pro…

• i definitely would NOT soak them. i've done that with almonds and cashews and it turned out really gross. the taste is totally off and kinda smelly. maybe if they are dehydrated after you soak them- i haven't tried that method though. i do understan…

• cargirl- the main thing that helps me stay focused on a raw lifestyle is my health. i only want to put the best things in and on my body, and if i know it won't help my body, then i don't want it. i look at my body like a machine. i want it to work …

  in Kelp Noodles Comment by joannabanana
• i am obsessed with kelp noodles. i just ordered a case from sea tangle company after i tried a package a few days ago. i just made a simple sauce of miso, lemon juice, braggs, and nooch. i could eat it all day!

• isn't it crazy how the natural way of eating is so foreign to people??? it's kind of sad : ( anyway, david wolfe says to eat marine phytoplankton, krill oil, goji berries, and coconut because they are growth foods for the baby. maca is definitely go…

• i usually juice something, have a big glass of that, wait a few hours til i get home from school, and then have a real breakfast- cut-up fruit with shredded coconut, agave nectar, and cacao powder- i love my sweets!!

• the area on your body you're describing is right where your intestines are. i've had many intestinal problems, but it's usually below my navel. ever since i started doing an enema once a month, i haven't had nearly as many tummy troubles. maybe it's…

• zemphira, i think it's hard for my mom to deal with me because she had never heard of a raw diet before i started on it. it's so alien to her and everyone else i talk to. i feel like as long as i am healthy on it, she will see that it is a good way …

• hi heloise, she's been seeing a therapist for about 2 years, but that hasn't really done much. she told me that she isn't honest with her therapist so that's probably why it's not helping. my mom takes clonipan and some other med. for her problems…
