• I actually drink coffee because when I don't, I have really bad issues with my hands and feet/circulatory issues. I don't quite know why coffee makes it better, but it does, and I have read that apparently it's pretty common for small amounts of cof…

• Hmm... yeah like I said I'm on a budget. I bet getting all those individual vitamins must run up a pretty good bill too :( So given that you're on a specific regimen for MS and all that... do you have a doctor that knows about your raw lifestyle and…

• I honestly never even experienced good digestion until this week when I started 80-10-10. that might sound ridiculous but it's true. my entire life I have struggled with gas, bloating, stomach cramps, fluctuating between constipation and diarrhea...…

• well this thread seems to have been hi-jacked. can we get back to the topic that the original poster intended for? Banana Island. Go!

• sweet, from a lot of what I have seen you post around here, I would seriously urge you to keep a log of the foods you eat and when you experience the issues you do- try to figure out what is directly causing the issue. It could be either WHAT you're…

• haha well it seems there's a lot of people around here and other raw boards that go for 7-20 bananas at a time... now, I don't know how long it takes them to eat this, but when they say lunch was 15 bananas, I just can't wrap my head around it. in o…

• kniteangel- I can't get past 3 bananas, at a time, either. but you don't have to eat so many all at once, just spread it out throughout the day :)

• I'm currently on Banana Island so to speak. I had already started 80-10-10 prior to feasting upon bananas, but I decided to do this mainly to give my cravings a good swift kick to the curb and to level out my eating out of boredom and such. I was pl…

• Texture yes... but you could achieve a similar texture as well from avocado. I personally just really like the sweetness that bananas bring to the smoothie. What about oranges? you could add some fresh juiced orange juice to your green smoothies, th…

• lilburger: Yeah I just started 80/10/10 myself... I had a lot of the same issues you do, and struggled staying raw when I was eating lots of nuts and such. But so far following a high-fruit diet, I honestly don't even THINK about food that much whic…

• My thoughts. And before I share...let me just say I don't have quite the experience some of you do, and I don't really do a lot of research. But that's pretty much where my thoughts lie: I eat what feels right. Let me be specific though. Someone cou…

• I love seriously all fruit EXCEPT pears... I don't know why, I just cannot get into them. but my all time favorite is bananas

• My stomach personally isn't very fond of frozen stuff. I love banana "ice cream" but my stomach doesn't... aw shucks :( Anyway this leads me to believe that it definitely alters something. It might be better than cooking, but I find it is still hard…

• artist, are you on medications? what's your sleep pattern like? do you still include tea or coffee in your diet? are you on birth control? I found that any issues I had with being raw, were because I was still on the Pill...

• yeah! the acne is gone! seriously. I struggled SO much with acne. I tried every cleanser out there with no decent results. After a few weeks of raw, my face was already so much clearer--- they say that carrots help fight acne though so maybe it was …

• what about ginger? have you been using ginger root in your juices? you'll find ginger in a lot of juice recipes, because it promotes digestion. otherwise, if all else fails, just try taking some vegan fiber. I am starting a juice fast today, but I w…

• god I don't even know where to start. IN A WEEK: I eat three bananas a day, so I get at least 21 of those a week... so in a bunch of 6, that's about 4 bunches a week I go through about 3-4 containers of strawberry 2 pineapples 7-14 zucchini (dependi…

  in High Fat vs High Sugar/Nuts vs Fruitarianism Comment by Tweedle
• My personal opinion is that you can do all the research in the world before you go raw, and you might be led into a direction you never expected once you actually do go raw. You've GOT to listen to your body... to how it feels, to what it truly crav…

• I agree with this suggestion: http://www.amazon.com/World-Cuisine-Tri-Blade-Plastic-Vegetable/dp/B0007Y9WHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1263261826&sr=8-1 that's what I have... it's rad. I use it like everyday.

  in Spiral Slicer Recommendations Comment by Tweedle
• also, if you're able to buy your own foods, I highly suggest buying some Larabars (or some dates and raw nuts to make your own) because they work fabulously for cravings and filling the tummy. also snacking on raisins and what not, is good too.

• I live off of zucchini pasta. If you don't have a spiralizer (though you can get them for like twenty bucks I believe) you can always just use a good vegetable peeler to make thin strands of zucchini...toss a little sea salt on to let them soften up…
