  • I think calories are calories. That's why people lose weight on crazy fad diets. It's all about energy in and energy out. So, from a strict weightloss standpoint it doesn't matter where the calories come from. From a health standpoint it does matter…
  • No, I don't have a rebounder. I just wanted to try it out.

  • Hi rAWnglish teechr-- Actually some of the vegetables you're eating inhibit iron absorption, especially spinach. I was shocked when I found out. I'm borderline anemic and have been scarfing down spinach like Popeye. Spinach has a chemical called oxa…
  • Lots of great advice. I've tried approaching raw eating in so many different ways (gradual, instant, raw 'til dinner). This time around I'm beginning to really understand that it's not really about the food, but what I think about food. My advice is…
  • I don't know the answer, but wanted to bump the question up. I wonder the same thing.
  • Glad I found this post. I got excited when I saw chia seeds at my market. I immediately bought them then forgot why I wanted them. How else do people use chia seeds?

  • I've been making raw soups to take to work. I put it in a jar, then pour it in a bowl at lunch. Eating soup makes me think that it's a warm meal and not so bad. It's a mental thing I guess. Right now I'm eating a soup that I made from the Cafe Grati…
  • So true. This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend today. I find it funny that people actually look afraid of my food; like it’s going to hurt them. I hear things like, “No way. I’m not touching that!” There is alot of misunderstanding. …

  • have_mersey, So, you freeze your pulp and it stays good enough to make crackers and bread.

  • I was just going to respond as pianissima did, when I read her reply. I often get called “extreme”. More often than that, I’m criticized for eating or acting “white” (I’m African American). It used to offend me. Now, I see myself as having a cultura…
  • stibizi, Some raw food sites sell coconut flakes. Are they not raw?

  • Thanks again. I feel much better about it now. My health is so important to me. With the $600 refund check US citizens are getting, I can humorously say that the US government is helping me get off of its own SAD diet. Ha! Plus, tomorrow’s my birthd…
  • Thank you. I feel more at ease now. I bought the regular 5200 model. Has anyone made their own nut betters with it?
  • SophiaRose, Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. I’m experiencing the same thing—little to no weight loss. I haven’t figured out exactly why. I have a few theories that I’m playing with 1) although over weight, I transitioned from a pretty healthy vegan…

  • This could not have been more timely. I tried eating raw until dinner for the pass few weeks. Didn’t work very well for me. I guess I’m an “all or nothing” kinda girl. So, today I started a 30 day, 100%, raw challenge following Alissa Cohen’s plan. …
  • Thank you. I think I’m leaning toward the KitchenAid. It’s amazing how wedded I was to the Cuisinart because of its historical prominence.
  • Wow! Thanks. 123 can you tell me more about this almond flour? Do I just dehydrate the pulp and the magic happens?
  • I watched a few videos on youtube that were helpful. The task seems enormous. Don’t be intimidated. Good luck!
  • Thanks for sharing. I’ve been experimenting with raw foods for a couple of weeks. I keep avoiding recipes that require sprouting. I guess I’m afraid of doing it wrong or the seeds spoiling in the process. But I think I’ll give it a shot this weekend…
  • The same thing happened to me this weekend. I’ve been vegan for over a year and am just now exploring raw foods. I’d been craving real cheese pizza for about 2 months. Finally, I gave in, thinking I’d get a little sick and learn my lesson. Luckily I…
  • This is such a wonderful and supportive space. I tend to be an all or nothing kind of girl and tried the same with eating raw. I “failed” nearly everyday. So, now I’m learning to be patient with myself. In my opinion it should be about doing the bes…
  • Thank you for your post. I’m just now experimenting with eating raw after a year of being vegan. Now, I eat raw until dinner. It’s amazing how people assume that I am not a Christian because of my diet. I think the opposite should be true. We ought …
  • Oakland, CA. It’s only 9:23 pm and I’m already sleepy. Have flax seeds soaking, trying to stay awake so I can dehydrate them to make crackers. Plus, waiting to see who won the Hawaiian Democratic primaries. Such a nerd!
