• I too jumped into raw more quickly than I should have. It went great for about a week and then I went into a non-raw (and not healthy) binge. I'm starting up my raw again soon. I think the key is to (obviously) focus on being vegan and then I think …

• What about like raw crackers and things like that? Do they have those? ((I don't have a dehydrator so I would love it if I could buy these already made))

• :( dang. Is that because the nuts are blanched or something beforehand?

• Oooo put your greens in your smoothies! It's so good and easy to just sneak them in there to make sure you're getting plenty! I personally prefer spinach in mine because it's not an overpowering flavor in the smoothie. As far as calories...just take…

• ajc: I'm not too experienced with juice fasting either. Are you sure you were drinking enough juice? The point of a juice fast isn't to deprive yourself of calories (though you do consume less calories during a juice fast than normal, obviously). Yo…

• On the Master Cleanse they recommend tea with senna in it which is a natural, mild laxative (I did a Master Cleanse in September). However, senna makes me really crampy and I wouldn't recommend taking it before you have to go anywhere, I took it bef…

• Haha yay Susan! Oh an good idea about the carrots/beach glow! I'll have to keep that in mind as the weather starts getting beach-appropriate :)

• Susan-- No I haven't had beet juice and I've never heard of any juice causing temporary vocal chord paralysis (I'm not an expert on juices though) but yeah definitely join me Wednesday and enjoy those bananas and avocados :)

• I'm still going strong! Not really hungry but I just want to chew something :P ajc-- One day of juice fasting is still an accomplishment! So go ahead an pat yourself on the back for that much! Fasting isn't easy but don't be discouraged, you can sta…

• I've heard that fasting is actually a good thing to do when you have a cold. I mean I totally would understand if you didn't want to fast while you're sick, I would probably reconsider too. But the sickness I guess is considered a "toxin" to flush o…

• Hi sunrise! I'm finishing up a 5-day juice fast tomorrow and then I'm going to eat normally (fruits, salads, etc) for a little but I might join you the week of May 15th (starting the 10th). I looooove green smoothies, I feel like that's my main stap…

• Oooo how's it going? I did a 10-day MC back in September and felt amazing afterward! Unfortunately my schedule won't allow me to do another cleanse until this summer. I'm thinking of doing a (minimum) 10-day juice fast in June and in two weeks I'm g…

• neskalee- You can't expect yourself to be perfect and never slip! Going raw (or vegan, or vegetarian, or even just healthier) takes time and very very few people can just jump in and never look back. Yes you have done a lot of hard work but pat your…

• Anna- I am in the same boat, girl! I'm not in the dorms again this year but I'm in an apartment with 6 roommates so it kind of feels like the same thing. I am as well trying to stay as raw as I can without telling people (they found it weird enough …

• The lowest my oven goes to is 200 degrees and then there's a setting below that "WM" which I have no idea what that means... I am a corn chip and salsa fiend so that is a good idea...I was just thinking that maybe there was some sort of recipe where…

• Haha “Ungrateful” don’t worry, it’s good to have some devil’s advocate viewpoints. I myself finished a 10 day master cleanse earlier this month as a transition into a vegan lifestyle and had amazing results. I did question myself multiple times, how…

• I don’t follow a strict no-salt diet but I don’t like it and I hardly ever use it. If you are interested in trying it but feel your food is too bland without it, try other spices to liven it up. Use onions and garlic as well as peppers and herbs. Ch…

• Thank you guys so much! This will make my vegetarian to vegan to raw transition so much easier!

• So then is it still considered RAW to drink herbal teas with HOT water?? I'm confused...I mean tea isn't a food per say so is that the exception to the rule? Also...say I do want my food slightly warmed but not hot enough to not be considered RAW? H…
