• I use cron-o-meter, just because I can use it on my computer without having to be online or logged into something. The only thing it doesn’t do is track exercise. I’d highly recommend it! How did you feel after all that yoga? It sounds soooo intense…

• nyc – doesn’t minimal PMS rock?! Last year, my mum bought me a pillow that says “My greatest fear is that there is no PMS and that this is my personality.” I think I might be able to give that away soon! ;) I’m in the same boat with the protein. I’v…

• littlegems – I’m trying to get creative in making sauces and dips that have a yummy, thick consistency without all the fat from oils or nuts and seeds. I made a pudding last night with just 1/2 a mango and 1 pear blended together. It was delicious, …

• Oh, and littlegems, you could ty making rice/cous cous out of yellow squash. I’ve been doing that with butternut squash lately. I just throw cubes of it into my food processor, and process until it’s in fine pieces. Then I throw in different fruit j…

• I’ve had a good day today! A little sore after yesterday’s 10 mile run, and was feeling a little tired too, but I know I didn’t eat enough calories yesterday. I made up for that today! So today’s food: Breakfast Smoothie – 3 bananas, 2 tbsp hemp pro…

• Mmmmm! That strawberry pineapple smoothie sounds delicious. That’d be the perfect breakfast right now, but I need to grocery shop first. (Sigh) I just finished my 10-mile run (eek! I did it!), so breakfast smoothie today is: 4 cups mixed greens, 1 p…

• I used to run back in high school, and then I forgot about it after my first year of college. At that point, I became allergic to exercise and any food that was remotely nutritious. With the help of a particularly crappy relationship, I gained about…

• I wish I felt hungry! My appetite has totally disappeared this week, and I have no idea why. I figured that by cutting out most of the fat, I’d be more hungry. I’m even running more than I usually do (tomorrow morning I’m attempting a 10-mile run, w…

• MOTH -that’s sad because spinach is awesome. Have you tried arugula? That’s my most favorite green because it almost has a salty flavor. It rocks! Today’s food: Pre-breakfast: 8oz water with juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 tsp B-vitamin supplement. Breakfa…

• Spinach is actually one of the more mild greens, just like romaine or baby greens. It’ll take you a little while to get used to the flavor, so just make sure to use more fruit and less greens to begin with. You can always use a squirt of agave or a …

• ardesmond2 – I might just have to check out slacker.com. I’ve been grooving on a lot of downtempo lately. Nothing says summer to me more than listening to some Zero 7 while sitting out in the sun, enjoying the warmth and the light! I have very eclec…

• Collards are a heavier green, so when I occasionally throw them into a smoothie, I go a lot lighter on the amount than I would with spinach or baby greens. I do the same thing with kale too, as that has a pretty intense flavor (and effect on my stom…

• One other thing to consider is your reasons for going raw. Constantly focus on the idea that you’re eating raw for your optimal health. Things like controlling cravings and binges (I’m finally getting out of that boat) and weight loss are added bene…

• The most basic one I’ve seen (and is super tasty and versatile) is sunflower seeds, salt, lemon juice, and garlic. That’s it. Chris and Zoe’s Cheese with Spring Onions follows that form, and everyone’s raved about it. It makes a lot though – lasted …

• kedamono, so sorry to hear about your struggles. I was also bulimic in high school, and I’ve been battling binging and food control for over half my life now. I’ve been 100% raw for 3 months now, and I had a bit of an emotional detox not too long ag…

• I don’t know if I’m deficient in B-12 as I haven’t had my levels checked, but I have been feeling really sluggish for the last couple months, despite being 100% raw. So, I’d rather be on the safe side and take a supplement. I just started taking Max…

• I’ve been eating spicy all week! My boyfriend laughed when I told him I was craving spicy foods, so that was my body telling me I needed to eat some hot peppers. He can’t really complain though. He loves spice even more than me!
