  • In my experience it takes time to adjust. When I went raw I felt yucky for at least a month detox wise. The first 2 weeks where the worst obviously. After that I felt pretty good. After I quit drinking coffee it took 2-4 weeks of sleeping as much as…

  • That's awesome you ordered your book. I think it's the only raw book that people really need. There is a forum of 801010ers over at www.30bananasaday.com if you want to browse around and check out the 600+ people who are doing it every day.
  • I've been doing 80-10-10 for months and I had anger issues when I switched over. Really mad wanting to hit somebody and throw stuff kind of anger. The other day I noticed that this never happens at all anymore! Never ever ever! No more fiery hot rag…
  • I appreciate it. I am definitely looking for a masticating one though rather than centrifugal. Thanks for the pointer.
    in Juicer for sale? Comment by zinfandel
  • Beautiful story and inspiration for us all. For me at least.
  • You don't need to eat them. They contain long-chain carbohydrates which the body breaks into simple carbs. You by step that process by eating fruits (simple carbs). The minerals found in bread are in other veggies. Apparently greens, sprouts, and be…
  • Dagny- Did you get any white fuzzies on your tongue? It interests me that this often seems to go hand in hand with detoxing. Mine are yellow sometimes. Really crazy. I will get a juicer soon and maybe join you on your next juice fast :) Have fun on …
  • Get an electric one. manual ones are too inefficient. and get a masticating one. it preserves the nutrients and enzymes much better (rather than a centrifugal one). can you buy me a juicer too? jk. i really need one thoooo gaaah. juicers are reaaaal…
  • The lemon juice could have done it for you. I have ibs and I wouldn't touch citrus with a long pole. Also, I heard the maple syrup is not necessarily great for detoxing because it's a dense concentration of calories, so the body never really switche…
  • You might take a look around www.fastingconnection.com... the forums there if you have a chance. People there do like 20 day water fasts no problem! They might be able to give you some support. There is also a doctor there who answers questions if y…
  • I meant "think is good". It's getting late...
  • Fascinating. I can feel my momentum building for this... I definitely can relate to the wool over the eyes thing. I am slightly weirded out because some of the posts on there are reminiscent of some posts that someone with an eating disorder would m…
  • I'm very impressed. I highly doubt I could do 11 days. Am planning on doing 3 sometime at the beginning of next year. I have to give up caffeine though first because detox + caffeine withdrawal is too much for me. I too am considering fasting 1 day …
  • It pretty much blew my mind that groups of people actually survive for more than 5 days without food. AND carry on with their lives! AND go for like 20 days sometimes on only water. Jumpin jehosephat. Do you think I could do it as a student while go…
  • Yea, Andre is amazing. I'm very new to the whole idea of fasting. I see you are doing an extended one. After how long do you get a burst of energy because over the 1 day fast I did I just felt horrible. Thanks for sending me over there!
  • What does your diet look like? Lots of greens I think help speed up detoxing. (like energy soup). I think grains and nuts/seeds aren't great for the skin. Maybe cutting out fats. Are you consuming anything unnatural? Keep your chin up and you'll be …
  • Mint in salad dressings have been sounding good to me... maybe pineapple, vinegar, mint, salt. or something like that. I'm really no chef though.
  • I was doing the 80/10/10 thing. Still am. But now I've been making blended greens via energy soup my main intake because it doesn't affect my blood sugar levels. Oh, and I'm allergic to bananas :( Bummer. Interesting story though. I'm glad your on y…
  • Dark circles under the eyes are a symbol of too much salt. Kidneys can't process it all.
    in To Much Sodium? Comment by zinfandel
  • If you have only been raw for 3 months you are still detoxing. I recommend letting your body even out. Also, I feel much better and have more strength for things like exercising when I eat mainly greens. That means 2-3 of the 4 or 5 "meals" I eat a …
  • Hey everybody, Thanks for your responses. It is absolutely wonderful to see my relationship from so many perspectives and to hear so many new ideas. Here are some points I'd like to make on my behalf: Relationships do involve some amount of sacrific…
  • Superfood- maybe YOU are controlling what YOUR significant other does. It's rare to point a finger at someone unless one recognizes the offending action within themselves. It's generally good practice to avoid making sweeping generalizations about o…
  • Yea.... I don't know. I'm enjoying it right now. The sex is phenomenal. Out of this world. Like I can see the galaxies. Like I couldn't live without it... ahem. Well it's true. Other than that we are pretty good intellectual matches. I'm pretty happ…
  • Freepam, The answer to that is a "maybe" from my perspective. I am very indecisive (maybe because I'm a Libra). I'm also young and I guess I need to make mistakes for myself. I think I'll wait it out. Thanks for your advice.
  • Ooo very inspiring. Affirmations have made a huge difference in my life. I don't know what one I could do for my health issues though. You seem to be very good at coming up with them. Perhaps it may have something to do with your life purpose? It's …
  • Aww, gracias. You are an angel of a being and I'd be honored to know you in real life as well.
  • Toms Mom that was exactly the answer that I was looking for! Hopeful, consoling, and providing guidance. I really appreciate it.
  • I asked because I wanted an honest answer, and I appreciate your reactions and support. I do think being sick made me act out of character in asking that question "is it okay". I guess I was also kind of subconsciously asking if he like me enough to…
  • Never knew that! Fascinating.
  • urine works like no other. research "urine therapy." only for the daring. p.s. urea is in a lot of makeup products these days. it is one of the ingredients in urine (this time they take it from animals)
