  • Spinach, fresh mint and herbs, salad greens all make great smoothies! You will enjoy being raw.

  • Hello Paris! Welcome to a healthier life style. I am also in school, but I am an older returning student so I have my own home. But investing in a nice size lunch box and containers helps keep food on hand while in school. What I found to be easier …

  • I don't usually drink, but once every 6 months I go meet my friends at an old dive and get drunk on sex on the beach shooters. I doesn't take much! Usually 3 or 4. In between these occasions I don't drink at all.
    in Do you drink alcohol? Comment by IsisDC
  • Curezone.com has a lot of interesting ideas, with photos of results. Another thing you might consider is that this could also be kidneys? I always have back pain when I MC and usually chalk it up to my kidneys being flushed out. But, I agree to have…
    in Gallstones? Comment by IsisDC
  • There are some great ways to flush your gall bladder with lemons and olive oil. I never really tried it, but I did once make a huge salad with a strong lemon juice and olive oil dressing. I loved the dressing so much I ended up drinking the dressing…

    in Really rough detox Comment by IsisDC
  • My past Master Cleanse was a rough one. I was detoxing from cigarettes, 4 cups of coffee a day, energy drinks, fried foods and junk foods. I had a sore throat for some of it, but mostly I was full of body aches and spent my detox in bed. Maybe start…
    in Really rough detox Comment by IsisDC
  • I don't think of David wolfe, Karen Knowler, Victoria Boutenko, Shazzie, Paul Nison as "chubby" they all look pretty good too me. Their diet advice might not be the same as others, but they don't look like they have weight issues. My opine, ...
    in gone cooked again :| Comment by IsisDC
  • It sounds like you are much better off not forcing yourself and instead embracing it. Being raw should be about all the wonderful fresh things we enjoy eating, but it's not a fast or to be thought of as a way to deprive oneself. I have decided to en…
    in gone cooked again :| Comment by IsisDC
  • I think it's okay once in a while to engage in a vegan cooked dish. Are we raw because we enjoy diet or are we trying to deprive ourselves? If you feel deprived then try a little cooked food once in a while, it's better than becoming resentful of yo…
    in gone cooked again :| Comment by IsisDC
  • scphotography- I honestly don't think anything you posted has offended anyone. There have been others who do come on here who have tried to slag on veganism and tried to push raw animal products, which is out of place. .
    in More and More NON vegans or even Vegetarians on this site Comment by IsisDC
  • scphotography- I don't think this thread is about frustrations about those who are transitioning, it's about those who come on here and try to slag on veganism by trying to make claims that our choice of life style is wrong. We as vegans live in a m…
    in More and More NON vegans or even Vegetarians on this site Comment by IsisDC
  • Maybe the site godz need to make it more clear on the home page that we are vegan? Before I became raw I was getting a lot of my recipes from vegweb who is very clear about being vegan. I know this site says on the top: "sharing raw, vegan recipes a…
    in More and More NON vegans or even Vegetarians on this site Comment by IsisDC
  • Have you thought about keeping a vegan only kitchen? I haven't had meat in my house for over 20 years, and if I really need dairy I used the processed almond, hemp or coconut milks. I could never keep dead animal flesh in my kitchen, but that is jus…
    in working out again, appetite increase, gorged. Comment by IsisDC
  • Kitty- When I announced that I was going to raise my new baby (21 yrs ago *gasp!*) vegetarian, my former inlaws threatened to call CPS and report me for "child abuse". My own mom was a bit better, but still could not understand not eating chicken an…
    in How to deal with non-raw family? Comment by IsisDC
  • I was on the phone with my mom last night who asked me when I was going to eat again? LOL!! I eat so much food I just had to laugh. I say ignore them, but maybe don't bring it up with them either. It sounds like you need to live your own life and le…

    in Paleo diet Comment by IsisDC
  • In the summer I will buy a big watermelon and just eat all day and night. We have mangos all year round in the DC area. And usually as cheap as $1 a mango! Papayas are also awesome, and kiwis. And PINEAPPLE! YUM! I need to retire to the tropics ...
    in What is your favorite fruit? Comment by IsisDC
  • MANGOS!!!!!
    in What is your favorite fruit? Comment by IsisDC
  • Well, that is very interesting. I think my batches are okay, but if the next batch seems funny I'll start over with a couple bottles of GT. Thank you very much for this heads up!
    in Kumbucha Culture Question??? Comment by IsisDC
  • The Chumama- really? I threw the mothers away and am using the scobys as mothers for the next batch. The brew tastes pretty much like kombucha and the scobys look like kombucha scobys. I looked on that site, which is a great site, but didn't find an…
    in Kumbucha Culture Question??? Comment by IsisDC
  • Well, it's been 2 weeks and the scobys are healthy and ready to make more, the batch is nice and vinegary with a slight fizz to it. So glad I don't have to spend almost $4 for a bottle anymore!!
    in Kumbucha Culture Question??? Comment by IsisDC
  • I have babies!!! I cannot believe it, but I do! I made enough for two jars, used the old scobys along with the GTs kombucha added for good luck. I just check in the closet at the jars and they are both growing babies at the tops of the jars!! The te…
    in Kumbucha Culture Question??? Comment by IsisDC
  • Hey, thank you Have Mercy! I actually used both this am. Whipped up a batch of sweet tea last night and threw the culture and also a bottle of GT when pouring it all in the big jars for good measure. I have it all tucked away in the linen closet, cr…

    in From Fast Food junkie to Raw Comment by IsisDC
  • Greens would be a right not just a privilege...can you imagine getting a raw meal in a drive through window...?
    in What would actually happen if everyone went vegan? Comment by IsisDC
  • my magic bullet just died...*sigh*.... it's a great little kitchen toy but sadly a short life span for the demands of a raw dieter...
    in Magic Bullet for Green Smoothies? Comment by IsisDC
  • My fav GT- KT is their #3, the one with elderberry and lavender, wonderful flavour and very very very fizzy. I opened one during class once and had to hide under the table while trying to save half the bottle from fizzing out the sides. LOL!
    in Kambucha Comment by IsisDC
  • I just whipped up a batch after a long time. I used regular black tea and various types of herbal. I also just read somewhere that you can also use mate and black tea. It great making your own KT and good karma to spread your extra scobys around to …
