• Chris and Zoe’s advice is right on. I follow Victoria Boutenko’s idea of eating whatever raw food i crave, when i crave it. Because of this, I’m on my 4th month eating mostly raw. It was very easy to transition, because it was all about trying new a…

• There’s plenty of debate on this. To be safe, set it at 114. If you feel that gabriel is right, his reasoning is basically that the food with lots of water in it stays at a lower temp even though the dehyd. is at 145 the food is cooler at first, whi…
