• what you could do is make some kind of pate (theyre all over this website) and make enough to last the week. it could be wrapped up with some lettuce/collard/kale and all the usual raw garnishes and on a salad for you. it's pretty simple and filling…

• if you also have hemp or flax oil, you can go around 92-100 days and still feel vibrant. after that, it isnt optimal. you also have to be careful because you become very sensitive afterwards, so be aware. if youre not 100% and willing to partake in …

• superfood, i did try that for a long time, but that much fruit just contributed to my bloating. i agree about keeping things natural, though. dehydrated foods, nuts, and seeds are not a usual part of my diet. i do eat avocados these days, and have n…

• wichten- thanks for the tips :) i've noticed that kombucha does help a little so i'll try to get more of that. i'll start putting cayenne in my lemon water in the morning. i'll have to try the psyllium husk, too. i do have chia gel and flax seeds, b…

• i did 80/10/10 for around three weeks, but eating that much fruit just doesn't feel good. i felt really out of balance the whole time. i still have around a pound of greens a day. i have around a quart of water first thing every morning, it has help…

• since popcorn is cooked (the heat causes the kernels to explode), it is not considered raw. while transitioning you could use a little coconut oil and sea salt for a reasonably healthy snack. there are a few raw popcorn recipes using cauliflower on …

• from any standpoint, whole foods are always better than refined ones. any kind of syrup makes me feel weighed down, so i stick to dates. however, coming from a standard american diet, i think agave is a big improvement from high fructose corn syrup …

• in any case, it's much better to be eating enough and raw/non-organic than not eating enough and being all raw, or eating enough and settling for things that aren't raw. just be careful about exactly what you're buying that is or isn't raw. for exam…

• sun-dried tomatoes are delicious in salads, as is guacamole. for warming foods, you could have a raw soup that's warm, or add in ginger or cayenne to your recipes for a kick. here's one of my favorites for when i'm cold: http://goneraw.com/node/5325…
