• I follow a similar way of eating, and I found that I felt better if I made sure to eat enough fruit in the am. A single glass of juice in the am wouldn't cut it for me. I quite often have a green smoothie with fruit in it. plus 2-3 pieces of fruit t…

• I totally get #3 – I fell off the raw wagon (defeated by cravings and the conveniance of SAD) and I just realized today that when I eat that way, I don’t feel good! And I missed feeling good.

• ‘The New Rules of Lifting for Women’ by Lou Schuler, is an excellent resource if you are interested in weight training.

• PMT? What’s the ‘T’? I guess that’s what I’m trying to say, I seem to be (naturally) moving away from the transition food. But everything here that’s been suggested sounds good too. I did buy it primarily to make ‘bread,’ but now I’m thinking ‘screw…

• One of the most important things you can do for your teeth, besides getting a regular cleaning, is flossing. Every day. I don’t know about using abrasive products like baking soda or salt. From what I understand, it leaves microscopic scratches on t…

• I’m not 100%, and it hasn’t been 3 months yet. I’m not glowing, I’m breaking out, big time! :( Detox, I guess.

• I don’t know, maybe it’s the rice if it’s cooked? I’ve found the more salad / fruit I eat, the more I, um, go. Shockingly so, at times. But then everyone is different. Did you have any digestive issues previously?

• Your teeth are porous, which is why over time stain can become harder to remove. Tetracycline stain is considered endogenous, or originating from within the tooth. It can’t be removed. But give the oil pulling a try, it sounds interesting. Can’t hur…

• Maybe it depends on what you are making? I make salads and wraps to get me through 3 days of work lunches, and I eat leftovers all the time. I’ll make a large batch of smoothies to keep in the fridge as well, although they don’t tend to last… The wa…

• I don’t have a dehydrator. But I hope to get one soon! Part of the problem, for me at least, is that I have kids. I’m trying to introduce them to the same things that I am eating, but they are accustomed to different foods. It doesn’t help that they…

• I’ve been finding it easier if I prep or make meals a day or two before I work. I know the days I work, I don’t want to do ANYTHING when I get home! So I’ll make a salad, some nut spread or pate, and some soup. I’ve lost a few pounds, which wasn’t r…

• I did try cleaning my face with the coconut oil, and was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t feel greasy! Raw Chocoholic (love the name) – I did check out that site, thanks! They had a recipe for shampoo and conditioner that I am looking forward to tryin…

• I would never have thought to use coconut oil as a cleanser, I’ll have to try that. Does it feel greasy when you wash it off? mandelicious – I have a rough textured mitt (shaped like a glove, actually) that I use on my face to exfoliate. Even a wash…

• This is a topic of interest to me, as my mom died of malignant melanoma. I’ve had it drilled into me from an early age to ALWAYS wear sunscreen, now I’m always on my kids to wear it too. It would be very hard for me to let go of that belief. You may…

• Forgot to add legumes to my avoid list! In retrospect, things were probably brewing for me since my early 20’s (I’m 34), but I had no idea. My 1st indication that something was wrong happend 2 summers ago. I woke one morning a bit groggy for no appa…

• Yes, stress certainly does not help. I would definitely like to read that book, thanks! susannabellajane – I’m so sorry :( I can share my (limited) experience thus far, as it may help someone else. I am newly diagnosed (2 years this summer). My symp…

• I need to avoid soy, as well as any excitoxins (ie. hydrolized soy protein). Unfortunate, since I do like soy sauce :( I will look into tamari (not sure what it’s made of) and the ‘mushroom juice’ sounds good!
