  • Try transitioning out by buying some gluten-free flour. Also, look up some of the raw recipes for bread on this site. A lot of them use almond or coconut flour or some sort of ground seed. If you're not super raw yet and just focusing on cutting out…

  • 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 …

  • Chattanoog already knows this but LaEnsalada, there are a few of us from this thread http://www.goneraw.com/node/15086?page=11#comment-122006 that are starting an MC this weekend (I'm starting Friday). Good luck with yours! Let us know how you're do…

  • Hehe I love this thread!! I pee all the time too! It's so annoying! I love my water though and if I'm not constantly sipping water I feel bloated and dehydrated. I don't drink enough to feel full though so I don't think it's bad for me and I actuall…
    in Peeing...a lot Comment by iluvlife
  • Yeah I've been falling off track lately due to stress. I'm thinking of doing an MC in a week or two to get me back on track...I did one last September and I felt incredible afterward. I was in incredible shape and it opened up windows to healthier c…

  • Good luck and congratulations! I'm going to embark on a green smoothie fast/feast starting Sunday and going through pretty much my whole life. Just kidding but I wanna try for about a month. Let us know how your juice/smoothie fast goes though it's …

  • 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?

    in New to this, and no energy :( Comment by iluvlife
  • 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…
    in JUICE FAST!!! Comment by iluvlife
  • 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 :)
    in JUICE FAST!!! Comment by iluvlife
  • 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…

  • susan- I'm completely in the same boat as you! I was doing so well with raw before and then Easter came and now I"m struggling!!! I agree with Joannabanana that running/training for something motivates me to keep up the raw...the only problem is get…

  • I've never eaten an avocado plain but I looooooove cutting them up into my salads or making guacamole *drool*  
    in Avocados Comment by iluvlife
  • Oh P.S I'm doing a short 24 hour water fast today to give my body a break and re-focus. I always find it helps if I've strayed a little bit...especially with the immediately after cravings from eating SAD food  
    in Had a bit of a slip... Comment by iluvlife
  • I had the exact same experience too!! I went home for Easter weekend, ate some cheesy pizza Friday night, and some butterfinger minis. Saturday was our Easter feast so I had some mashed potatoes (made with milk and butter) and sweet potatoes (made w…

  • 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…
