• carnap, if i went as much as you do, i would be in heaven!!! i think that you are just fine. is this after you eat or before you eat?? either way, i wouldn't worry about it. i would embrace it haha

• i've only done one juice fast which lasted a week, and it was EXTREMELY beneficial. I'm interested in doing it one day a week though- just to give my digestive system a break. Maybe every Friday so I could call it "juice fast friday." that would be …

• hmm, now i'm wondering what is wrong with mine!! i got it for christmas this past year so it should work fine. it honestly just shreds all of my greens and doesn't get the juice out of them. i'm definitely going to email the company to see what the …

• i have this juicer, too, and it's not bad. it juices everything EXCEPT for greens. I can't get it to juice spinach, parsley, kale, or collard greens, so if you plan on having green juices, this isn't the juicer for you. besides that, i use it everyd…

• i watched this a few days ago and i started cracking up!!! it is pretty raunchy and does depict women in a purely sexual manner, but don't most tv shows and commercials do that anyways? i do feel like it is more inappropriate than most commercials, …

• kelly, i had no idea about cashews!!! i am so shocked and upset about that now. i love cashews so much, but don't want to eat them if they are naturally toxic.

  in What foods can you not eat raw? Comment by joannabanana
• i always soak my nuts then dehydrate them but i think they have a different taste than plain raw ones. have you noticed that? maybe i'm just weird- idk haha i like the taste of raw ones better but i've noticed the dehydrated ones digest more easily.

  in soak cashews first or not? Comment by joannabanana
• I would definitely buy a good size dehydrator if you intend on using it a lot. Mine isn't very big and I wish I would've spent the money on a larger one. I can't stress this enough!!! The Excalibur Dehydrators are really nice- I'll probably get one …

• schmoopee, what recipe do you use? i tried a zucchini hummus and wasn't a huge fan- i did use raw tahini though. good tip about making your own instead.

• kevin, that's VERY impressive. sometimes, you have to do something radical to get what you want. i don't eat 811, but i still manage to consume a crapload of bananas.

• rawaholic, are you sure we don't live in the same house??? my mom is also totally against raw foods and veganism. i posted a topic called "coming clean" and i talk about my ridiculous quarrels/stories with her. i had an eating disorder, too, and i t…

• i sprinkle them on fruit salads and desserts a lot. my breakfast is usually a cut-up banana, raisins or goji berries, nut butter, and some cacao nibs. i just like their texture because you don't expect "chocolate" to be so crunchy.

  in cacao nibs Comment by joannabanana
• cacao nibs aren't very sweet. whenever i stopped eating organic chocolate, i switched to cacao nibs. they taste completely different from chocolate and very crunchy. they don't melt in your mouth either. i'd recommend making your own raw chocolate o…

• Maple sap is boiled until it thickens to syrup. I still eat it though.

• carrie, what is the saline flush?

  in MASTER CLEANSE Comment by joannabanana
• do you know if yacon syrup would work in place of the maple syrup?? i have both but i was just curious. i'm juicing today and tomorrow, and i like taking the master cleanse with me when i'm out.

• i didn't know cayenne came in liquid form. that's soo cool!! it is definitely noticeable in the cleanse drink, but i think it tastes really good.

  in MASTER CLEANSE Comment by joannabanana
• yeah- you're measurements are right and don't forget the 1/10 tsp cayenne pepper. good luck!!

• troubles, you just reminded me of something!! haha about waiting to eat after you go poo. every morning, i drink a big thermos full of water. i have a SIGG water bottle so i think it holds around 16-20 oz of water. i do this before i eat anything or…

• Lobo, I've noticed that when I'm strictly 100% raw, I have no problems going at all. Even just eating one cooked food can screw me up. A few things that I need in my diet are greens, papaya, tea (I drink chamomile, peppermint, and senna), and really…

• formosa, your family's suggestions are hilarious!!! my dad's solution was to always give me a can of beer- no joke. i was 3 when he started giving it to me!!! my mom flipped when she found out.

  in What makes you "go"? Comment by joannabanana
• formosa, i would definitely try a juice fast. that helped a lot for me. even if you can juice for just 3 days, that would still release most of the waste inside of you. ajwain seed also helps me go. it's an uncommon seed so i don't know if you can g…

• Hi Matt, I eat both maple syrup and nutritional yeast because they are just so healthy!! i would hate to eliminate them from my diet, especially because they add so much flavor to my dishes. i don't think you have to necessarily label your diet as h…

• osoniye, i have the tri-blade spiral slicer (the second one she was looking at) and i find it to be a pain in the butt to use! it's difficult to stabilize it by yourself so i have to have someone hold it while i crank and push. i like my potato peel…

• rawcanadian, the clean-up is my least favorite part!!! i really want to do another juice fast in the future, but i don't wanna deal with taking the juicer apart, scrubbing it down, and all that jazz : /

• ladydaventry, i've been eating meals too but i try to juice 2 or 3 times a day. i always have fresh apple juice in the morning. i love it. later in the day, i make celery carrot juice or carrot orange juice. i'm trying to think how to help your brea…

• i've been juicing for a few weeks and my only symptoms have been dizziness and head aches. i usually just have some tea to make myself feel better or i just lay down. i've been sleeping A LOT lately, too. i don't know if that's a symptom of juicing …
