  • my mom used to say, "como como como", which means "i eat like i eat" in spanish. youve find a lifestyle that works for you, and i guess your co-workers think they know what works for them. since theyre not very interested, i would just leave at that…

  • my mom's pescitarian, so as a kid i was pretty healthy (whole grains, fruits, veggies, fish, sometimes chicken), besides your occasional meal at a friend's house. i went vegetarian at 12. 13-14 i was still vegetarian but really unhealthy. throughout…
  • another thing that helps is bananas because theyre really high in potassium, which has a substantial effect on energy levels.

  • i had forgotten all about this thread! thankyou corecries, i will start massaging my head every morning now. sisterbecky- everything else about me's alright, so i'm guessing i don't have a thyroid problem. i'll have to look into the henna idea, thou…

  • i really miss sweet potato fries..if you could come up with a raw recipe for that i would be STOKED :)
  • you could start off with a nesco dehydrator. theyre 60 bucks and in my experience work really well. http://www.nesco.com/category_449f7f01f1ea/product_db21f85c8f63/session_d5f392f5cd09/
  • dr. norman walker healed himself from a deathly illness and lived past 100. he was raw and drank plenty of carrot juice. he said orange tint is normal, and mainly part of the detox that carrot juice can initiate. nothin to worry about :)

  • i just cut it through the center until my knife hits the seed and then twist the sides of the avocado in opposite directions and it comes right off.

  • as a 15 year old, i've had to go out of my way to figure out what kinds of raw foods impress teenagers :) my friends all really loved anything to do with chocolate, although be sure to add more sweetener than you would for yourself. http://www.goner…
  • well i've heard that nuts are much like potatoes and oranges and other fruit, where the skin holds a lot of the nutrient content. i don't really have a problem with that, though, since i eat the pulp in recipes and i dont depend on nut milk for nutr…
  • winter squash isnt the best for juicing but it does make some pretty great recipes, not sure you would want to grow a ton of it if youre not a huge fan, though
  • definitely not the only one! i'm the same way. my bloating has improved after the last couple months, so i think it'll just keep getting better. probably our systems are just a tender due to the digestion problems and need time to adjust to all the…
  • hahaha that's horrible
  • there's a book called raw spirit by matt monarch. i haven't read it, but i've heard that it talks a lot about the emotional detox when going raw that a lot of the "gurus" don't talk about.

  • exfoliating is what i found most helpful. :)
  • having a lot of cucumbers both whole and in juice form helps. mychelle is greaaat for acne, pharmaceutical stuff didn't even work for me when that brand of cleansers did. also, dry skin brushing is supposed to do wonders for things like stretch mark…

  • i used to always want to eat at night, and i realized it's because i didnt eat enough during the day. i focus on having nice big breakfasts (a quart of green smoothie), an almost as big lunch, and then a smaller dinner. now im just way more into eat…

  • i sent them an email and they said all of their nuts/seeds were truly raw besides the almonds, but for some reason i dont really trust them 100%.
  • i think you should just do cardio to slim down in general. in my experience, weights make you bulk up a little rather than tone. for gentle toning, yoga is a good idea. you could do cardio 2-3x a week and yoga once :)
  • haha that too :)
  • funny that you mention this, i was just looking around for a few ideas myself! there is a v11 recipe on this site, or you could try this: http://www.chetday.com/blog/2006/02/v8-juice-recipe.htm there seem to be a lottt of v8 recipes on google, so yo…
  • if you get it a little bit wet it becomes a lot more pliable.
  • 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…
  • good to know, thanks :) ill have to go search.

  • i was 14 when i got all four of my impacted wisdom teeth removed at once. being a teenager, in spite of my apprehension, i didn't exactly have a choice, and was also very nervous about losing control over my conscious. in the long run it is much bet…
  • i would like to get garlic into my diet as well but i cant stand raw garlic in any recipe for some reason.
  • haha its funny you mention that, we have a whole package of ear plugs for my mom because she hates the sound of our blender and food processor.
  • wow that sounds amazing
  • no problem. hm it's a possibility that it is pasteurized, but i can't tell you for sure. if you have so much of it, though, there's still quite a bit of benefit in the stuff, and isn't worth just throwing away. maybe you could email vita coco and as…
