• I don’t yet own the pressure washer – can anyone recommend it? I’d like to buy it right away, but I’m having a hard time deciding. I own the togoware and it’s perfect for taking raw lunch to work!

• ground sunflower seeds or sesame seeds can often be substituted for nuts. in some recipes you can use ground buckwheat, be SURE that you soak it 6+ hours, drain, then rinse it every 1/2 hour for the first 4 hours of letting it sit in a strainer. the…

  in raw social lives... Comment by Winona
• I drink wine, so I do go out to bars with friends. The restaurant thing is a big problem. At this point, since I’m new to raw, I can’t handle the temptation of restaurants. So I typically will go home to eat raw food and meet up with friends after d…

• Xeno – most varieties of larabars are 100% raw. They even say so on the package. there are only three brands that are 90% raw, and they indicate this on the package as well. i have a couple tips regarding recipes. Don’t try making soups. Most new ra…

• I recommend lots of water, and take 1 tsp of psyllium husk 2 times a day and also have flax 1 tsp two times a day. Just pop each tsp in a glass of water and drink it. They’ll help with colon cleansing, which will help w/ detox. Don’t worry too much …

• I agree on using freezing only in cases when food would go to waste, as some enzymes are destroyed.

• Angie – do you have a favorite raw meatloaf recipe? I can’t wait to make it, sounds scrumptious! I love to hear that you also passed on a car to eat raw – it is a hard choice, but every day I’m grateful that I made the right decision.

  in Monthly Food Bill? Comment by Winona
• Good point angie! You said it!! Thanks for the support – budget and raw food is a very hot topic, and a challenge for a number of people. I made a very careful decision to eat all organic and all raw, and I have cut some things out of my budget in o…

  in Monthly Food Bill? Comment by Winona
• I spend $120 per week for all organic food for myself. I eat all raw, and I buy anything I want to eat, regardless of cost. I don’t have a car by choice, so that I can afford to spend money as I feel that it is a worthwhile investment in my health. …

• What a fabulous forum – great posts everyone! Some folks make me feel uncomfortable and act as though i’m being extreme and picky for no reason – just to cause other people inconvenience. That’s the farthest thing from the truth! amysue – i’m so gla…

  in how much cals of raw can one eat Comment by Winona
• I support what angie says about eating what and when your body wants, within reason of course. Just make sure you’re actually hungry – not eating out of boredom. You may find that you’ll begin to eat more intuitively on raw – this comes naturally as…

  in Raw New Yorkers? Comment by Winona
• Oooo I like the article on lifesave.org. They use lots of emphatic exclamation marks, hehe. It made perfect sense! I personally believe that if you eat raw vegan food with plenty of greens, your body will absorb B12 and you’ll be fine.
