• Here is what I do to easy my longing for food rituals: I set the table with cloth napkins and a candle. I heat the lemonade and eat it in my favorite soup bowl with a wonderful Asian soup spoon. I also have a glass of ice water with lemon slices in …

• POWDERED lucuma? Now, Ive seen it all.

  in lucuma Comment by juleskess
• yeah, when I lived in Chile we had it all the time. The fruit on its own is kind of leathery and dry, but mixed into anything it leads a creaminess and flavor that is out of this world. use it in smoothies or even soups, or blend it with nutmilk. Lu…

• Odalys – It’s in the mail!

  in Book Exchange Comment by juleskess
• Hey Odalys, What a great idea!!!! I would trade you victoria buotenko’s “green for life”, “12 steps to raw foods” or carol alts “eating in the raw” for the raw food detox book if you’d be interested in any of those.

• hey rawmama – my standby is a mix of about a 1/4 cup Nama Shoyu, 1 tsp miso, 1tbs sesame oil, 1tbs sesame seeds, 1 tsp agave, the juice of about half a thumb of ginger (I just use a garlic press and scoop whatever comes out plus the juice), a clove …

  in Amazing Eggplant!! Comment by juleskess
• I am an eggplant fiend. I cannot get enough of the stuff. I mandoline slice the long skinny ones, marinate them in an asian inspired sauce overnight, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. YUM. I had (pre-raw) freakishly high cholesterol and eggplants have…

• Many people who do a serious liver cleanse report immediate and noticeable eye color change after doing it. I am planning on doing a liver flush next month, so I’ll let you know how it goes for my eyes. I am planning on taking before and after pics …

• I’ve been on a fairly low fat, mostly raw diet for 7 months now and haven’t really lost any weight. I feel much healthier, happier, and younger, but thinner has not happened for me. I am pretty stoked about the first three though so I don’t mind too…

  in too much fat? help!! Comment by juleskess
• Odalys – You can buy it at a drugstore. It is a one time use test, much like a pregnancy test. The one I bought had two tests in it for $19. I had to use them both because I was so in doubt of the first result, but they keep for a long time, so you …

  in Extremely High Cholesterol :( Comment by juleskess
• HOLY SHIT! This forum inspired me to go out and buy one of those home cholesterol tests. As a reminder, I have genetically high cholesterol (300 at my last reading). My father died young of it, I have had to take those nasty statin drugs in the past…

  in Extremely High Cholesterol :( Comment by juleskess
• Odalys – My blood pressure is normal, always has been. I know my cholesterol is high, but it has been that high my whole life. As to what you said about grains, I eat sprouted oat groats with fruit and nut milk every morning so I feel good about get…

  in Extremely High Cholesterol :( Comment by juleskess
• I also have extremely high cholesterol. It is the reason I went raw in the first place. Mine is entirely genetic however. My body just produces the stuff on its own is massive quantities. In the past is has made no difference what I eat. Full of mea…

• I think Nutridiary is easier to use too, but I can never seem to find a place to see my nutritional breakdown like I can on fitday. Is there a place to see a nutrient report? What I do is go on Nutridiary, create a meal, and then enter that meals nu…

• Thanks QueenFluff – I’m going to try to put a little something aside to try it. Good Luck! And keep us posted on how it goes.

  in Parasite Cleanse Comment by juleskess
• QueenFluff – I have been reading about colonix and am very intrigued. The price is a bit daunting though. You are the first person I have ever heard (aside from their website) talk about it. Have you ever known anyone who did it? Why did you decide …

  in Parasite Cleanse Comment by juleskess
• I second the vote for the master cleanser. I did it for 10 days six months ago and have been raw ever since. That is, turned raw from a place of eating a moderately better, but still SAD diet. I have since done two shorter cleanses of a few days eac…

  in Cleansing/fasting Comment by juleskess
• I have to second the Amen! on Cafe Gratitude in SF. I went there with some non-raw friends and they had no idea. Also, in NYC, RawSoul is a lovely little spot up in Harlem and in Chicago, Cousins Incredible Vitality (I know, funny name) rocks. They …

  in What is your favorite raw foods resturaunt and what dish do you like most? Comment by juleskess
• Mix that bad boy up with some nut milk, a blender full of ice, a pinch of sea salt and a big dollop of agave, and oooh baby. You have what my former favorite bubble tea joint likes to call an avocado snow. It’s an avocado somethin alright.

  in 50% Less Fat Avocado Comment by juleskess
• I agree. I have always thought that there are many different species of avocados. I think that your 50% less avo was just a marketing scheme to sell another species and not some freaky genetic modification (I hope). In Chile, they use the watery avo…

• Yo, same thing happened to me. I did the MC for ten days six months ago and have been raw ever since. And I was no vegan before either! It’s a miracle worker.

  in Lemons changed my life. Comment by juleskess
• Hi, I’ve done it twice and really love it. The first time I did it was 6 months ago. Before that I was a normal eater, some meat, dairy, the works. After 10 days on it, I felt so good, I went raw and have been raw ever since. There is no way I could…

  in Fasting Comment by juleskess
• Hi Fleshmechanic, Congrats on the decision. I am relatively new to raw foods (almost 5 months now) but what I would suggest for your husband is adding more heavy fruits such as avocados or bananas, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains. I also felt the ca…

• Kandace, didn’t you take a raw thai food cooking class? How was that?? As for combinations, I really like to make the summer rolls when having raw thai feasts. The recipe is on here, but I don’t know how to do those fun blue links that you can. sigh…

  in S.O.S. - Sick of Salads! Comment by juleskess
• Audrey, Ah well, seemed too good to be true. How do I tell if the nori is raw? I remember someone told me the green is, but the black isn’t or vice versa. I can never remember.

• Ambikalee, are rice paper wrappers RAW???? That would change my whole world. Skyespice, hang in there. You were doing so amazingly well with your two weeks of 100% raw and your husbands progress too. I was very inspired to stay at 100%. I don’t have…

  in S.O.S. - Sick of Salads! Comment by juleskess
• I cannot say enough good things about the master cleanse. It will really help flush out your body of toxins and other narsties. However, mass quantities of pooing are a big part of the cleanse. You do a salt flush every day and take laxative teas ea…

  in an embarrassing question Comment by juleskess
• How about increasing the amount of “binding” foods in your diet? I find bananas especially good for that.
