• I really enjoyed watching this movie. Although, with my parents and the friends I keep, I generally just keep my opinions to myself. My thinking is already too “radical”, especially now that I’m embracing the raw lifestyle. It gets kinda frustrating…

• Slightly off topic here, but MOTH, here’s a crazy but true story. I had this awesome teacher for Senior Project in art school, and she told me about this psychic friend she had. The psychic told her that you should write down all the qualities you w…

• I agree with Superfood. The love of my life (and future hubby) is most definitely an omnivore. He loves it when I make raw dishes for him, and he’ll try new raw restaurants/cafes with me if I ask, but he’s happy eating meat and dairy and the like. S…

• I know I’ve given up trying to justify my raw diet to my mum. My dad cracks jokes about it, which is fine, because that’s in his nature. But, my mum just keeps making all these mean comments which are totally uncalled for. I’ve just stopped fighting…

• Cut back on the greens, perhaps? I’ve been having digestion issues all week, and I finally figured out it was too many dark greens (collards). So, yesterday I stuck to fruit and veggies, and the only green I had was a salad made with some mixed lett…

• Instead of a feel good song, I have a feel good band: Jamiroquai. They’ve been with me through thick and thin for over 10 years now, and I still love them as much now as I did when I was a young, innocent teen :) This song, (Don’t) Give Hate a Chanc…

• The burning sensation may be from the mint! I know whenever I use it, I always get a little tingle in my mouth. I find that to be really refreshing though. I find adding a banana or mango helps make the smoothie more creamy, and less “green”, and I …

• Yeah, you can use raw tahini in anything!

• Artisana makes a raw tahini. Mine just arrived yesterday, and it’s the first tahini I’ve found that doesn’t taste super bitter! I love it!

• I always start my day with a glass of water and the juice of a whole lemon. I’ve read a few different sources that say this is a great way to cleanse your colon in the morning.

• I wish I could help you out here, but I don’t know of any natural things to get your period started again. I know when I quit taking birth control, I didn’t have a period for 6 months. I was also eating an incredibly unhealthy SAD diet. I’d say that…

• First of all, keep going!!! We’re all making this journey together, and there are always times when we fall off the wagon. If that happens, don’t beat yourself up over it. Just make sure you climb back on again! You’re only human, after all. Every p…

• I’m so tempted to try the garlic on the warts on my feet. I’m just rather worried about the stink! Perhaps I’ll try it over the weekend, when I’m not around co-workers.

• This is my first year of being raw, so I haven’t actually experienced being raw during winter yet. Of course, it really doesn’t get that cold in Georgia, hehe. I’ve read these suggestions though: Spicy Foods Adding flavorful “heat” to a dish can rea…

• Thanks for all your kind words. It really helps when others are experiencing the same dang things as you. I definitely feel a little better. Bubbaw6 – kudos to you on your journey, especially doing a juice feast! There’s no way I’d be ready for tha…

• I’d actually cut back on the greens a little bit at first, and then steadily add more back into your diet once the bloating and gas cease. This happened to me when I first went raw. I’d actually feel kinda sick after green smoothies because my body …

• Mamamilk – I haven’t taken any bee products or nutritional yeast. I’m thinking about adding nutritional yeast to my diet though. I think I’d rather be safe than sorry. Isn’t kelp supposed to be a good source of B-vitamins? I’ve been trying to work t…

• I’ve just noticed that too, actually! Pretty much just on my knees. I seem to keep bashing them into things more than I used to, but random bruises seem to pop up too.

• When I first started, I was trying a new recipe every day for lunch and dinner. I was constantly going to the grocery store for new ingredients, and I spent all my free time uncooking! I got burned out on that real quick. I “sort of” plan things out…

• I feel your pain too. Just this Sunday, after being 100% raw for 6 weeks (while my boyfriend coincidentally was out of town), my mum made a comment about how she thought I was going to start eating “real” food again when my boyfriend returned. Grrrr…

• It could also be your greens intake. I had to back down on my greens because I was all bloated and gassy. That sorted out my problem. :)

• I’ve been trying that trick, and it seems to be helping a little. I try to eat an avocado with my dinner every night (which is usually a big leafy salad).

• I’m being plagued with insomnia too. I kept thinking it was environment-related, but now everything’s back to the way it should be, and I still can’t sleep. Or rather, for the most-part, I sleep for 4 hours or so, then wake up for no reason. It take…
