• Bananas are awesome! I eat them like a monkey. My only rules for bananas are: 1. They must be perfectly ripe – I mean gloriously spotty and kinda brown – NOT yellow. Wonderfully ripe bananas digest perfectly within my body. 2. Eat as many as I need …

• I will post before/after pics on my 1 year raw anniversary in January. I can’t wait…I look totally different.

• I am sometimes hard on myself bout eating raw cacao, but yesterday I had a BUNCH and felt euphoric and uplifted all day – without the jitters. I just felt like I was in an altered state of consciousness.

• If you ate the cashews near the same time as the banana or orange…you combined fat (cashews) with fruit… That spells severe indigestion and bloating for me. I used to be able to combine them when I first went raw. But over time, I just got more and …

• Kevlar – I agree with you actually about the Dems and the Rep’s working for the same masters – the corporations with the MONEY. Greed runs this country, from the bottom up. I will not vote for either - I’m going 3rd party – for sure.

• Dude! That’s pretty much what happened to me a few months ago, for about three weeks straight, especially when I switched to low-fat raw. I had a constant dripping nose. I know for me it was detox.

• heya… Your history sounds similar to mine; I went right into raw after juice fasting for months because nothing I used to eat before fasting tasted or made me feel good anymore. I lost A LOT of weight through fasting, and part of me was terrified to…

• I made the decision to go raw in the dead of winter last year, after juice and water fasting through the first part of it, so I feel pretty prepared to stay 100% this upcoming winter. I probably will start eating A LOT more greens and less fruit (as…

• When I first went raw, I loved the green ones; now I can’t really stand them. I moved on to golden kiwi; sooo much sweeter, and not as acidic. They are a treat!

• Today some lady asked me in the middle of lunch: “is there a REASON why you’re eating so many bananas?” ( ate nine for lunch, LOL) People seem curious…and if they’re curious I tell them what’s up in the smoothest, friendliest way possible; why I eat…

• My advice: It seems like when you are upset, you use that as an excuse to cave in and eat damaging foods. That’s okay; take notice and learn from it. I am not being negative – just sharing an observation with you of your own behavior that you shared…

• jgfergus – thank you for the information. I found that as my diet got cleaner, salt became less desirable for me. What are the vegetables/fruits with the most sodium? So far I only now of celery and tomatoes. Anything else?

• Heyenglish! Yep, listen to that body…my body was definitely telling me I was low in salt the other night at yoga – which was why I don’t regret having a salty raw meal. I feel that at some points on a transition to raw the body strongly desires salt…

• I second the “high alert” feeling from adding salt now. I also got a headache after eating raw foods that had been salted the other night. I did however feel additional salt helped my body out in hot yoga – but I feel I could have done the same with…

• I lived without salt for 3 months solid. I just had some salty stuff yesterday at a raw restaurant – first time in that three months I’ve been ‘out’. I believe salt can be beneficial in moderation, but I don’t like adding anything to my natural food…

• I don’t know…fruits seem to fill me pretty well. I can’t seem to get “satiated” and “full” with greens most of the time. Whereas fruit feasting makes me feel pretty satisfied for hours. But maybe my body is just used to fruit. I had dehydrated food …
