• cold pressed, unrefined, virgin are raw. I use coconut oil in most recipes. Also as lotion after a shower. I find for me olive oil is way too fatty to consume in large amounts. Avocados are nice and fatty too! I mash up 2-3 for a guacamole mix and u…

• I do have nori in my cupboard that I always mean to crush over salads but forget. I was thinking I need to eat more sea vegetables. Do you do any types of algae?

• thanks powerlifer! I think I am going to look into the protein powders. I was reading the other thread on whey protein and what to substitute instead, and a lot of it is nuts, but my body starts to feel the fattiness from them if I eat too many in o…

• I was going to suggest a pie also, because you really need your fruit to be sustained on raw. Mix it with nuts, there's your crunch!

  in Breakfast suggestions? Comment by Eloisa
• why don't you try eating more 'pieces of fruit' when you first wake up? or start off with a juice, then when you get to work chow down on a lot of fruit to hold you over until lunch, then do a big salad filled with greens, veggies, fruit, and seeds.…

• as far as alternative greens for juicing, I juice green cabbage, leaves from beets, and chards. Cabbage has a bit of a strong flavor when juiced, so I prefer to juice with oranges and carrots, apple and beet as well.

• Hi grapepixy! I've been raw for almost 4 years now ( my first 1 yr 1/2 was 100%, now I'm getting back to that because for me I feel best eating this way), and what I've learned that helps save me from wanting to eat unhealthy SAD foods that I know w…

  in How much food to eat?? Am i eating enough? Comment by Eloisa
• If you really don't want to eat SAD anymore, even though you messed up that day, you still have tomorrow to start fresh. Why not try fasting the rest of the day to get rid of cravings, and start tomorrow off with fresh fruit or a juice to get your t…

• Thanks Gratefultobe. Yeah, I start to chew it because it will get mixed up in my spoon of honey, but it likes to get stuck in my teeth, so I usually throw it out. I don't favor it, it really has no flavor and sticky molars are no fun, but I have end…
