• I really love David Wolfe's "Sunfood Diet Success System". Besides being hardcover, glossy and beautiful; it's a pretty good primer on the raw lifestyle and life in general. As with any 'guru' or teacher, take everything with a skeptical grain of sa…

• As someone who doesn't juice, but does the green smoothies daily, I guess my first question to you would be "How do you feel?" I understand about wanting to go to the 'next level' of health and fitness, but if you have a juicer, don't use it, hate t…

• While I don’t have a juicer, this is the one that I think I would get if I were going to get a manual wheatgrass juicer. It seems to be the one I keep hearing about as a good entry level juicer. http://www.877myjuicer.com/product/HEALTHYJUICER - Bil…

• I think that others have hit it on the head; it’s raw but with training wheels.

• I wrote an article on my website about a 2 hour, salt water cleanse. Not for the squeamish and not for frequent use. I would recommend doing it once every 90 days or 6 months due to the amount of salt involved. Hope it helps! http://tinyurl.com/yno…

• If you’ve been diagnosed with an eating disorder, you really should talk to your doctor or therapist or counselor about this before doing anything.

• I’d say I’m 50% raw, 40% cooked vegan, 10% cooked vegetarian at my worst times. Stupid cheese pizzas.

• A great interview! Richard is definitely one of my raw food ‘heroes’. He walks the talk and keeps it real basic and simple. While I love his YouTube videos, as a writer, I’m very biased toward the written word. Get that book finished! :)

• Congratulations! I’ve read your posts here and your enthusiasm really shines through, that and your kind heart. For a single raw class, with a few dishes similar to yours above, I’ve seen folks charge anywhere from $25 per person to almost $300 per …

• I agree with Odalys; if you take the caloric “requirements” out of the equation, it’s an amazing and logical plan of eating. Fresh Juicy Fruits. Succulent Greens. Some yummy nuts. Listen to your body, eat when you are hungry. Don’t eat when you are …

• Graham’s premise is that if you eat clean, only fresh fruits and veggies, you will naturally hit 80/10/10 – that’s 80% of your calories from carbs, 10% from fat, and 10% from protein. I’ve only skimmed the book and it seemed almost fruitarian in nat…

• @Kristen I will have to defer to RawJim, as I really don’t put ice cubes in my blender. The hardest thing I use would probably be frozen fruit and it pulverizes the heckeyfire out of it.

• Just to throw an alternative in here, if you’re looking to be frugal and don’t want to spend the upfront money for a VitaMix, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Oster “beehive” one speed that they sell at Target or amazon. It makes unbelievably goo…

• Add a bit more water, juice or whatever you are using for a liquid. You’d be amazed at how little will thin that smoothie right up.

• Hey Jessica; my advice would be to go to http://www.meetup.com and see if there is a raw food group in your area. It’s important to surround yourself with fellow raw foodies and perhaps someone there can a) recommend a school, b) recommend a class, …

• I’m with Ron; for the weird, rare, and hard to find items, it’s pretty much the only game on town here in Tampa (it’s Wild Oats down here). As for everything else, if you’re keeping it simple, the local grocery (Publix/Sweetbay) is a much better buy…

• I’ve read 80/10/10 and agree with it’s basic premise that we should eat as clean as possible, but doing that is another story. My main issue when I tried it was getting enough calories. That and damn, I got very tired of eating all those bananas :)
