  • Are you saying I'm stupid? Just kidding...
  • Thanks so much! It really does mean a lot to hear that. I wish I knew what was the very best for me all the time ;)
  • I'll think about this and probably get back to you on this one. I guess I feel like I've never had the kind of human support that makes me feel secure with other people (mom on the rode 5 days a week since I was born, string of nannys and babysitter…
  • The brain runs on carbohydrates not fat. I do eat some every week and a half or so. Thanks for advice :)
  • Don't you think your body knows best? Why are you trying to micromanage?
  • I think 20 dates in the morning is totally fine. It is high in fiber too so the body can't digest all the sugar at once. It is slow releasing. Regarding the protein powder, everybody has a different ideology about these things. I used to supplement …
  • Simple carbohydrates (not long chain as in bread) are easily broken down by the body and converted to energy. You should definitely be okay with this kind of sugar. I have no facts though. Actually if you have diabetes the story is different and I t…
  • I'm assuming you are a man and want to be built, obviously ;) Since women seem to all want to be thin... it is healthier anyways I believe.
  • You might want to check out Storm's website from http://www.thegardendiet.com/ if you are a man... I still think it's healthy to let the body do what it wants. Good luck!
  • I used to have an eating disorder and weighed 98 lbs and had a bmi considered anorexic. My ribs stuck out and I look awful. After gaining weight, getting over my eating disorder I went up to about 113. After being raw for 6 months I am down to 100, …
  • dates/figs should help
  • P.S. It takes months to detox. In 5 months you will no longer crave the foods you crave now. I walk past a nacho casserole and don't even blink I think because my body's cell's don't even recognize it as food! It's amazing and raw is 100% worth it t…

  • Hello! I've been raw about 7 months. There is so much information and a lot of it says just the opposite! This means people have to listen to their own bodies... A lot of people go raw because of specific health problems. For people who are sick, it…

  • I used that recipe!!!!! *rubs my belly* I swear it's like sipping on a slice of a cloud in heaven. My next project is Kombucha.
  • Guaranteed if you only eat fruits and vegetables minus bananas you will detox. It's like one step down from a juice feast.
  • We keep moving forward :)
  • Check out energy soup... that is powerful stuff! I am also skeptical that you only burn 900 calories a day. Do you walk to class? Also having sex is supposedly good exercise... whoo! I am also a student. I recently invested in a healthyjuicer which …
  • I am very sensitive to "vibrations" or I guess what is going on around me. I am the type of person who is thinking about someone calling me and then they will call me. Or talk about what somebody is thinking about. Those types of things. Peoples moo…
  • Okay devils advocate. Here's my reasons for not eating meat. 1: Meat is brought about in an act of violence. Why would I want to consume that? 2: Animals are depressed and not treated humanely, leading to the vibrations in their cells being unhealth…
  • Hey Rena I am interested in juice fasting. Do you mind if I email you some questions about how yours is going? Could I have your email addy? Mine is dietofworms1[at]hotmail[dot]com if you would be willing to answer a few questions.
    in Back pain...... Comment by zinfandel
  • I personally don't believe in the whole Yin nonsense, although I did for a while. I believe that I was detoxing (still am but my energy is pretty good now). Another thing is you maybe should incorporate more leafy greens. The first 2 times I eat in …
  • Maybe sugar has been increasing your sugar levels which throw you out of whack later in the day. I have been pondering this lately and switching to more greens.
  • Legalize Pee! Legalize Pee! The first time I saw a mango my instinct was to eat the peel... hmm.... I can buy conventional ones though cuz they have a peel so I don't eat peels anymore.
  • GAH! FIGS! *nom nom nom* Do you think I could grow one potted in my kind of dark midwest apartment?
  • o nice. i like that they don't push the marketing too much.
  • derryckl- i ordered the healthyjuicer i think that was per your recommendation. i am SO EXCITED. i don't know if its normal...then again i am not very normal. ill probably let you know how it goes because i have a hard time keeping my big mouth shut…
  • I think 8-12 hours would be ok. but about a max.... fill containers as much as possible to avoid contact w. air. prolly better to keep colder. i would think smoothies wouldnt matter as much as they are not as delicate :) yummy.
  • Handcrank juicer! Search Healthyjuicer in google. Mine is in the maiiiiiilllll! woo! Way to be off the grid. tre cool.
  • As long as your not doing it to be annoying, I don't mind and will continue to read your posts :)
  • Your Capping Every Word Is Obnoxious And Makes What You Say Come Off As Less Credible. Why Would You Do That?
