• i think it's best to avoid lots of salt and fat especially when eating cooked. if i were you i would do potatoes, rice, veggies, some beans if you feel is necessary. those should be your staple 30%. of course no one is perfect.

• from what i have heard, raw fooders don't have to worry much about omegas. often with nutrients,t he ratio that they are consumed in is most important. the ratio of omega3:6 is supposed to be something like 2:1. But processed foods has the ratio 20:…

• juicy fruits will help flush out your body. like grapes, melons, etc. fasting would probably cause a binge to be more likely in the future. stay calm. perhaps find someone to talk to who can calm you down.

  in Getting out of a binge Comment by zinfandel
• instead of restricting number of raw calories, i feel best restricting times that i eat. i try to eat as close to between 12pm-5pm as possible. i don't think any one would recommend extreme calorie restriction.

• i would get a copy of the 80/10/10 diet asap. i would follow that diet. if you have any questions, i would ask dr. graham on http://www.vegsource.com/talk/raw/index.html i would schedule a consultation with him on http://foodnsport.com/

• grapes: at least 2 lbs. You might need a banana or 2 or 6 afterward. oranges:6-15 clementines: 20ish I normally eat 2 meals a day so my meals might be larger than yours need to be?

• i think a lot of mood disorders are caused by allergies to things like gluten and dairy. going 100% raw can probably cure your moods, although you may go through some periods of detox/withdrawl.

• My skin has been breaking out a lot lately. I suppose better out than in. I've been doing some short fasts and I am broken out after those too. I am going to hopefully keep fasting until my skin turns clear. It's worth it to me.

• I wish I felt fine on no overts, but alas. I wound up with a weaker body and a flab tire around my belly and an extended recovery time after workouts. I am going to start experimenting with nuts and seeds. Do you have any tips?

• i just ate no overts for 1.5 months and it was le suck. i totally don't recommend it. there must be some minerals in nuts and seeds that are essential.

  in Raw Food or My Boyfriend... Which would you choose? Comment by zinfandel
• ask him to not offer you cooked food or tempt you purposefully or encourage you to eat cooked. if he can't handle doing these things, he isn't supportive of you and isnt worth your time.
