• Amysue- sniffing ice cream, haha that’s great! the smells of cooked food are the only thing that would make me break down. luckily, i can completely avoid them. in fact, i am never around cooked food. that’s the number one reason why i’m successful.…

• I get jealous… really jealous of what other people are eating. Tonight my boyfriend had nachos at the bar. But I just wanted the FLAVORS - not the exact dish (I never liked nachos when nonraw!) so i asked them to bring me a salad with salsa and jala…

• try this: 1/2 cucumber, 1-2 Tbsp water, salt, pepper, clove garlic. Blend in your vitamix or food processor. Add one of the following: dill and tahini OR mint, cilantro, and nut butter OR parsley, green onions and nut butter

  in How much weight have you lost? Comment by Winona
• Hi heyitsmahsa, i’ve been 99% raw for 1 month now. I haven’t lost any weight yet. I’m certainly not trying to lose any – i eat as much fruit and veg and green smoothies as i’m hungry for. (often every 3 hours i’ll have at least a piece of fruit). I’…

• Hi mallory, i reccommend checking a calorie counter website to get an idea of how many cups of food you’d need to eat each day to meet your caloric requirement. for example, you could eat 3-6 heads of lettuce, 13 cups of fruit (any other than avocad…

  in How often do you eat, and how much? Comment by Winona
• I’ve been raw 1 month. I eat every 3 hours usually, and it’s often fruit or veg and dip or salad. Smoothie for breakfast, 1 piece fruit to snack, fruit or veg for lunch, fruit for snack, salad and nut or avocado for dinner, fruit for snack.

• Karuna – I’m glad you’re trying the avocado. it’s bland when plain, just add plenty of salt and lime and the flavor will pop. Angie – the vitamixed chocolate avocado with sliced strawberries is my FAVORITE mousse. it’s chocolatey. be sure and serve …

• Unsoaked nuts will last months in the fridge, in my experience. Nuts are typically harvested in fall and stored for a long time till the next harvest anyway. For info about soaked nuts, see this topic: http://goneraw.com/forums/2/topics/849

• Thanks to Kandace, Ray, your hard work is an invaluable contribution to so many of us who are new. Thanks to the very sweet forum members who have kindly answered so many of my questions.

  in Gone Raw is getting Famous! Comment by Winona
• Misscute- try looking at a calorie counter website to check how many calories you might need. For example, eating 15-20 cups of fruit in a day will add up to roughly 1500-1800 calories. You can eat a lot more fruit/veg that you may have thought!

• i also look at comments more than stars. but stars can be useful. i think once more people visit the site, some recipes will stand out as more popular. that doesn’t mean the nonpopular ones are bad – it’s simply good to know what lots of people tend…

• wow rawnutrition – i had no idea! Thank you SOO SO much for this information. i can’t wait to sprout – i’ll watch the buckwheat and wash it well for the first four hours. cool!

  in Stinky buckwheat - what went wrong with sprouting? Comment by Winona
• Great tips ya’ll! Thanks so much. I’ll give it another try, but only sprout for 24 hours to be safe.

  in Stinky buckwheat - what went wrong with sprouting? Comment by Winona
• I’m guessing I let it sprout too long. The sproutpeople reccommend only 28-40 hours of sprouting. Or I didn’t rinse it enough. Anyway, I’ll definately try it again!

• cool that your headache vanished! great ideas on teeth everyone – i have nothing to contribute there. eating more greens and reading norman walker’s information seem like excellent suggestions, i second that.

  in raw power! Comment by Winona
• I also use my vitamix WAY more than my dehydrator. its SO so important to blend and drink greens. It will help you get the nutrition that you need.
