• I’ll be going every 2 months. That’s probably enough for us raw fooders, since we get plenty of fiber. Matt Monarch did one every month for the first year of being raw. He said it helped him have less detox effects. It’s totally your call.

• i’ve been raw for 3 months. on some days, i eat tons. you should realize that veggies and fruit and greens are so low calorie, that it’s fine (and a great idea) to eat tons of these. you could eat a couple of watermelons, 5 bananas, 10 kiwi, 5 cups …

• bitt – i have experienced something related… when going off the pill, i didn’t have my period for 6 or 8 months. i think the pill just messes with your body. i had to take drugs in order to start having it again! perhaps the detox thing is involved.…

• I just remembered something that will fill you up for cheap ($2/lb for golden flax): crackers! eat flax any time, all the time. these crackers, for 5 ounces, will give you 600 calories. that’s 50 cents for 600 calories, and they are really tasty cra…
