• loorin – sorry to hear your dealing with this before work! :( About two months ago I had a severe mental break down with full on anxiety/panic attacks. I’m totally against taking any type of medication, so I picked up some positive energy/self-heali…

• Sorry carrie6292 - I wasn’t saying that you’re not healthy (nor raw&healthy). I was just defending reason for wanting to lose weight as I found itourist’s remark rather rude. Sorry for the confusion!

• DagnyTaggart – I too am such a cheese lover! Whole Foods sells raw (unpasturized) sheep, goat, and cow cheeses. They are super yummy and I don’t feel guilty about eating it at all. Check it out if you have a Whole Foods near you.

• 1sweetpea – you make your own with aged balsamic vinegar ( I meant vinegar when I said vinaigrett – same thing right??) So aren’t you just making your own adding other oils/flavors but still using the vinaigrett?? My bottle says its barrel aged or s…

• Rawsiki- Do you spend your entire $56 on your food or on other things also?? Strange, I live in Arizona and my weekly produce costs about $40-$50, depending on how much I get, but with that I can buy pounds of assortments of fruits and lots of green…

• Hey Moth – Wow, I was in a similar place about three months ago and just got out of it as of a month ago (except I wasn’t going through a divorce). I too lost appeal for ALL raw food. I didn’t want to eat at all – I’m not an emotiona eater, so I can…

• Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I rather stick to fruit grown locally rather than having to import fruit all the time (can get pretty pricey). Roadrunner ~ I don’t know why, but every since I was little, I always hated bananas growing up. The m…

• Almond milk is absolutely delish! You can already buy it made, or make it yourself how rawmama said, instead just use almonds. But the Pacific brand of almond milk is the closest to raw with the fewest ingrediants (only a few, mostly almond derived)…

• Why the concern? That’s so good for you!!Your body is mainly made up of water – so you have to drink up to replenish it! I drink 3+ litres a day – an entire liter alone at the gym. Water is the only thing I ever drink – just can’t get enough of it! …

• Alabastardragon – I go to TJ’s for Raw almond butter (dump out the oil if you want instead of mixing it in), and that’s pretty much it. They do sell little pouches of raw almonds, but mainly I shop at Sprouts and Whole Foods. The Whole Foods I go to…

• Izhpt ~ you sound like a protein type because you eat a lot of fats (avo, nuts,) and like you said you “thrive” on them. And also proof that you were able to do a low-carb diet and do well on it. I on the other hand am a carb-type. Even before I tur…
