• unsoaked nuts caused bloating. also, doing colon hydrotherapy regularly (at least 1-2 times a week) was very helpful for me in reducing bloating. matt monarch sells products to use at home for this. also, be sure and do regular aerobic exercise. run…

• Cuisinart 3.5 cup model. The 7 cup is probably better if you tend to make larger batches, but for 1 person i've found the smaller model sufficient.

• I love fresh dehydrated tomatoes and pineapple. They don't have to be totally dried (unless it will be super hot on your trip.) They can still be chewy and tasty. I think emptdmom has the right idea - for the soup, some of the ingredients can be deh…

• IWWkevin, fresh fruits are extremely heavy. If you've ever tried to carry a backpack with all your rations for several days/weeks, you'd know that. Maybe you could bother answering goneraw posts a little more creatively than going into every single …

• An easy change is to switch to all raw snacks. Chopped veggies and fruit can be breakfast, part of your lunch, appetizers, or dessert. You can change it up and find dips for fruits and veggies, different types of fruit salads, different ways to arra…

• I'm in the process of collecting every recipe book out there. I hope that more used copies of recipe books come into circulation soon!

  in Frank Giglio's 'Raw For All' Recipe book Comment by Winona
• Good point, ras-saadon! I have seen so much denial surrounding food. People will justify their diet like crazy. It would be less effort to simply eat healthy, than to try and rationalize the crap they put in their bodies. I love this saying I saw at…

• Kayaking and biking are my favorite exercises. I do all my errands on my bike so it's easy to get exercise without even realizing it. I love running, too. Try a walk to run program (found on google). I also run 2-3 days a week for 3-4 miles. Raw foo…

• I eat loads of cashews. I never get sick. Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well! I don't recall hearing raw foodies complain about cashews, and i've been reading the goneraw forums for a year.

• I felt under the weather for the first 2 months of eating all raw. Then my health improved quite a bit, my energy came back, my skin and hair looked better. During those 2 months, I slept more than before, I was exhausted and unmotivated. I may have…

• Greens help me to restore balance. I try to eat savory meals and cut back slightly on the fruit. For example, eating loads of melons will cause my candida to rise with a vengeance. Cutting back on agave helps too. For some reason, DRINKING sweet thi…

• cakes!! you can easily make pie crust or cake by food processing the almond flour with dates and coconut oil. Mmm.

• If you have the Cafe Gratitude book 'I am Grateful', the Strawberry shortcake RULES. Heathy Pace's online dessert book 'Just Desserts' has a chocolate orange cake that looks positively sinful.

• Here's another sample shopping list. this feeds 1 raw foodie for 1 week. It's a lot of avocados - that week I ate lots of avocados and fruit, other weeks nuts and veggies, any combination i want. Always lots of greens. I spend about $150-190 per wee…

• Great point, Joyce! In my experience, a happy, positive attitude affects my body in a much stronger way than how the occasional glass of wine affects me. In other words - if i'm depressed and anxious and stressed, it takes a much worse toll physical…

• Oh PLEASE, kevin. That comment was not useful, it did not contain any information helpful to the person making the decision. It's just a scare tactic that no one likes to read.

  in Alcohol & Raw? Comment by Winona
• There's a variety of opinions on this topic. But speaking strictly from experience, i've been raw 1 year, and the alcohol that affects me the least is wine. If i drink beer or liquor, my stomach acts up. I limit my alcohol consumption to once a week…

• I'm salivating at the thought of your next cake creation, Joyce. I'm looking for inspiration for my next cake - i might try Heathy's dessert book. It's high time i bought that!

  in Chocolate Mint Cheesecake/Vitamineral Green Comment by Winona
• a raw recipe i saw, suggested spinach. You could dehydrate spinach and make that into powder yourself, if you want. Or use spinach juice.

• 9 grams of protein is pretty good, for using only 2 Tbsp! You stayed full a while huh? My green smoothies never fill me up - they're fruit and greens. But that's okay, because I have greens for a midmorning snack, then lunch, then greens, then dinne…

  in Need Substitute for Whey Bodybuilding Powder, Yogurt? Hemp or Almonds or what?? Comment by Winona
• Pirawna - Great suggestion! Alive powder is vegan, so it would be an improvement over whey (milk) protein, and it's only $10/lb. Not bad. I wonder if it's raw. I didn't see anything on the webpage indicating this, but I could always call the company…
