• Congratulations, and best of luck, on your fresh start!! :~) My tip would be: Make sure you keep your calories up to whatever level you need to maintain a healthy body. Maintaining enough calories will help ward off cravings. If you don't already kn…

• Thanks for sharing all you noticed; it's appreciated. I did notice it was from Australia, but you picked up on more other things than I did while there on the site. I wasn't really considering it. I was more curious; they seem to pitch it like it's …

• I get the happy/energetic feeling after greens. Cool, huh? :~)

  in Energy from RAW Comment by pixx
• Could be detox, could be a deficiency. Could simply be change. I recommend FitDay to see if your diet measures up. Just input your intake for two or three days (no real need to do it every day) and see how things are going. Also, blood tests with yo…

• Thanks, waterbaby. I'll do that. Was hoping that if there was some issue, similar to almonds (chemical pasteurization), folks here would know. :~)

  in "The dirty dozen"...what about nuts? Comment by pixx
• I usually buy organic when available, but sometimes it's not practical. I'd really like to know which nuts, other than almonds, I should be avoiding when organic is not available.

• "I wish everyone would try them. They're that good." Yes! Agreed! And by "pure salt" I did mean to steer clear away from iodized salt, or any salt with added anti-caking agents (most table salt contains both). Yeah, sea salt is great. 'Canning and P…

• silystarrfish (et al) here is the neti pot I use, and I highly recommend it. It is stainless steel, so it wont break like the ceramic ones, nor leach like the plastic ones. It is 16 oz, so it will hold the entire batch, no need to mix it up more tha…

• In what way were you disappointed in Purely Delicious? I have not seen either, except what is shown online for each, but I was considering Purely Delicious. Would appreciate knowing why you feel the way you do. Details?

  in Raw Fu Magazine - Good? Comment by pixx
• I agree that more calories would be highly advisable. And yes, being too thin can definitely cause one to feel cold; I know from personal experience - having experienced both underweight and overweight time-frames in my life.

• I eat cashews with no problems. but I knew of a gal who broke out in a rash every time she ate them. Her doc told her that cashews are in the same family with poison ivy / poison oak. Maybe you have a sensitivity to that family? I've recently discov…

• I agree, the skin really should be moist, before adding oils. (ie: directly after bathing, or misting, etc.)

• You want *virgin* coconut oil. Nutiva brand is good, so is Tropical Traditions. I do NOT recommend Spectrum; I think Spectrum tastes nasty. Here are a couple links: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=coc…

• I second the suggestion of coconut oil for rash or itchy skin, not just externally, but internally, as well. I've known of a few folks (myself included) to get rid of a persistent rash by daily intake of virgin coconut oil. And in my case, it was be…

• I've never had a problem with it, but I have heard that banana's that are not quite ripe enough can give a stomach ache. Perhaps...?

• "I'm pretty sure I'm eating enough as I eat when I'm hungry until I'm full." That really isn't a good measure for eating enough. I've had days where I ate and ate, but barely took in 600 calories, in the beginning. I found this site, and it was a G*…

• Sorry, emmasgoneraw, I have no advice. I'm without a green thumb, myself. Seems sprouts (which are ready in 5 to 7 days) are the extent of my growing abilities. I've tried houseplants, to no avail. carnap~ do a search for lettuce (or anything else y…

• Glamazon: "Ezeikel sprouted bread ... its cooked at 250 so why they bother to sprout it I have no idea..." From what I've read (and it makes sense to me) sprouting it turns it from a grain, to a vegetable. So the body recognizes it differently. Yep,…

  in Green Smoothie Exploration - Red Swiss Chard?! Comment by pixx
• From what I've surmised when shopping, Rainbow chard is just a clumping of white, yellow, and red stemmed chard. Or is there a rainbow chard plant, that actually grows the different colors? Have you noticed a difference in red chard, and the red one…
