  • Awesome. I knew most of this in some vague way, but i still often have no idea what to say to people when they ask the same question every time....So where do you get your protein??? All I can do is sigh. This article is clear, concise, and simple e…
  • *After I test it on a hidden piece of hair first of course....
  • Hey thanks guys. I think I am going to make a strong peppermint tea and put some ACV in it, and maybe some tea tree oil if I can afford it, and rinse my scalp with that at night, then see how it is in the morning.
  • Yes it is different, in that heating food kills enzymes and such ( dont know all of the specifics....) BUT i buy almond milk at the store because I am not 100% raw, and it is much more convenient, and infinitely better than cows milk, and i dont use…
  • Ok, I dont know the actual reason, or if its good or bad, but it always made sense to me that things would start to come out liquid if all I was putting in was liquid....
  • I find that is my first meal of the day is a green smoothie ( with LOTS of greens), I dont crave sweets at all, except maybe a little something after diner, but rarely. I also eat fruit during the day too. While its true that there is a huge emotion…

  • I recently had a weird pinched nerve thing in my leg for two or three days, and I put a heating pad on it. Woke up the next morning and it was completely gone with out taking anything for it. Ice will make any swelling go down, which is really good …
  • You could try just eating a little less every day rather than cut them out all together. If it is the fat, try adding other sources like avo ect like Blueyz said, and allow your self maybe half as much as you would normally have. That way you dont f…

  • I agree. My BMI is supposedly just right, but can see that I need to lose some fat and gain more muscle. I think a mirror is the best way to tell if you are at a healthy weight or not. That or a good friend.
    in What's your BMI? Comment by A-Love
  • Thanks for all the replies. Luckily, I no longer buy white flour products, and havent in years. But even the whole wheat or Ezekial brand stuff just doesnt feel quite right, though they are tasty. Thanks RawKaren, your reply #1 was more of what I am…
  • Hey Tshirtartist.....How did the weekend go? Are you still going to do green smoothies? iluvlife- ha, they still think I am strange, they are just used to me being strange. Its like "oh, youre one of those people...." But its definitely better than …
  • OK, Beginning of day 5, and I've realized I am a little bit of an idiot. I said in an earlier post that I would do thursday to thursday as that would be 7 days.....no thats 8 days, duh. So I may still go 8 days because its going really well. I have …
  • Ok, Day 2 of green smoothies, and I am already almost out of greens! Definitely underestimated what I would need. Luckily the kind I want are still on sale, so I should be drowning in greens by the end of the day. And, I add just a teaspoon or so of…
  • My goal is 1 week, so from today, thursday, until the end of next Thursday the 23rd. First green smoothie- chard, one banana, one peach, and 6 or 7 strawberries. I just went for a short run and am feeling really energized and excited about the smoot…
  • Yes, I will do it with you! I just bought plenty of fruits and greens thinking I would start having green smoothies for breakfast again, but I think I will have them all day long as well. I'm starting first thing in the morning!
  • I am not in any way a dietary/nutrition expert, but maybe you are having a hard time losing weight because you are not getting enough calories...the whole starvation mode thing. If you want fruit, have at it. You already know what your body does whe…

  • I have made a really dense, chewy not hard, bread with oat groats and some quinoa. (along with jalapenos, nutritional yeast, onions etc) I found I needed to eat it with tomatoes or something juicy, maybe a sauce or dressing? Also, the nutritional ye…
    in bread substitutes? Comment by A-Love
  • Some fat is really necessary in our diets because some vitamins and minerals are only fat soluble, meaning just water wont help you metabolize them. Its just when we eat too much fat that its a problem (especially if its cooked fat), the same with a…
  • I agree, small steps are the easiest way to switch. Not only will it be too overwhelming for you to manage to go raw overnight, but you family will be more open to small changes. When you are first starting out, dont worry so much about how many nut…
  • oh I would love to do a juice feast, but I do not have a juicer, and probably wont be getting on any time soon. :( Would smoothies be a good substitute?
  • Hey, I love reading all of your posts! Its funny too, because just a couple days ago, my boyfriend tells me he wants to start eating a lot healthier, with absolutely no persuasion from me what so ever! I never nagged or tried to get him to do anythi…
    in Non-Raw Boyfriend Comment by A-Love
  • Thanks for all of your replies everyone. I love the idea that rawsaysrita had. Make something similar, but different. I guess I just need to be a little more assertive in what I want, rather than taking the easy route. I know he would be fine with i…

  • KTay, I so get your depression. I have been depressed for most of my life, and am only now coming out of it. The thing about drugs (or lack of them) is that depression isnt a physical problem, despite what experts might say about brain chemicals. De…
  • I bought my excalibur on Ebay for $76, its five tray one that runs for $190 on the excalibur website. Ebay is great.
  • hey thanks for all the responses and support. I think that eating smaller meals more frequently is definitely the way to go for me. I have no idea what my caloric intake is, but I am sure it is much less than before I was raw. Before, a part of me w…

  • To honeywater, Bluegreen algae is a really good source for b12, as well as other good things. It comes in a capsule form and a really good brand is Klamath’s Best. Its organic and from what I can tell on their website, its raw. (They describe the ma…
