• demallen, it is funny how much people are interested in it! i told a few friends that i'm making a raw dessert for a potluck in my nutrition class, and they said "what? you're making them eat raw eggs and flour?" i'll explain that i don't eat grains…

• maybe you don't need to lose weight. when you're raw, your body will naturally be the weight it wants to be. i'd like to lose a few fat pounds, too, but i'd rather enjoy my avocadoes!

• i just got out of my nutrition potluck and everyone LOVED the brownies. i was so relieved because i'd been nervous about people's reactions. i guess i should never underestimate the power of brownies- in any form!

• vegankid, add more dark leafy greens and sprouts into your diet. they have a lot of protein, too. as for healthy cooked foods with protein, barley, buckwheat, oatmeal, lentils, beans (chickpeas, lima, kidney), artichokes, and potatoes are just a few…

• i lost my period when i had an eating disorder, so i'm pretty sure it's because i wasn't taking in enough fat. all it took was 2 weeks of adding fat into my diet again and i got my period.

• i thought the 80 10 10 diet was an excellent book. following the diet is just too hard for me! if you're too hungry, maybe you should add a little fat in the diet or just eat more fruit. are your salads made of greens or is it fruit salads? greens a…

• avl, i've noticed that i go back to cooked foods when i'm not having fat in my diet- mainly an avocado a day. i know it's a lot, but i'll end up binging on the cooked food we have in the house when i could've just had one avocado in my darn salad. i…

• i'd go 100% raw as well. it is much less harsh on your body. how healthy do you think it is to consume tons of maple syrup and pepper for a few days/weeks??? i don't think we would do that in nature at all.
