  • By chance was reading DYW last night. There is a three day juice detox in there that I wanted to try. Cant remember all the details but it was 5 fruit/veg juices per day with 2-3 liters of water. Drink water with lemon juice in it just after waking …

  • More virtual hugs from me too! I also don't do words very well. but hang in there! Don't beat yourself up about not being raw at the moment, do the best you can and focus on getting the other stuff out of the way! When I want to get re-inspired for …

  • Hi Clr! haven't been on here for ages! how is the raw going? As for the young coconuts, I have given up on finding any outside of london and just don't uses these recipies or substitute something else ;-)

  • Some really good stuff said already, just want to add a couple of things. When you start eating a vege or vegan diet and therefore cut out any heme iron sources your body gradually adapts to this diet by producing more of the receptors for absorbing…

  • Rawspice: Before I started trying to be raw I hated bananas, even the smell of a ripe banana grossed me out! now I love them. I weaned myself onto then by buying small not over ripe ones then after a while I just started to enjoy them. You feel so m…

  • B17 thing is a myth... it's toxic! It has been found to be ineffective at fighting tumors and selling the pure form is illegal. Don't eat apricot seeds!

  • I like Kate Wood's book "eat smart eat raw" and also shazzies ones (detox delights is a cheep way to start). Kirstens Raw blog has loads of her recipies spead through it - take a look. Like others above I tend to use a recipie book as inspiration an…

  • I have some at home that says "peruvian carob" underneath the word maca, and to me it does taste like raw carob that I have had before. I also don't just too much, but a little in with raw cacao powder really rounds out the flavour. I will have to t…

  • Hi Neskalee! I went vegetarian over 20 years ago and I can safely say that I never look at meat as a foodstuff, it's just an section of the supermarket that I never need to go down and stuff in the fridge that I don't want to eat (BF eats meat). I d…

  • Neskalee, You're doing so well! Don't worry about the cupcake! What I try and do in these situations is either go there full so that I don't feel like eating, or take a raw sweet with me. The brownies from here http://www.2juicy.blogspot.com/ can be…

  • I have also made a mousse, but in a different way. If you blend up blueberries with bannanas and (I think) hemp seed milk then you get lots of little bubbles in the smoothie. If you leave it for about 10 minutes or so (I left mine at room temp) it s…
