• Hi missbettie, Eat as much fruit as possible. Snack on carrots and other chopped veggies. What works for me: eat every 2 hours. For example, green smoothie for breakfast, apple snack, 4 fruits or 3 cups veggies for lunch, pear snack, gourmet raw rec…

• Great comments everyone! I have something to add.. raw foodists are considered anyone who eats 80% or more raw food. So… not everyone needs to give up the non raw ingredients. I think it’s helpful to know whats not raw, so that we can make informed …

• I can definately see how this is true. If you visualize yourself biking frequently, for example, your brain becomes accostomed to it and you can begin doing it. It’s crazy and inspirational!

• This is GREAT! Wow… he’s experimenting, that’s so important. I had another idea for transitional time – wrapping salads in nonraw tortilla wraps (at first) then eventually raw dehydrated wraps, etc.

• You could replace sodas with lightly sweetened iced tea/lemonade/fresh orange juice. Those will keep for days. My SAD boyfriend is willing to eat very fresh fruit salads and ants on a log, IF i prepare them and put them in front of him. :) And I kno…

• Well said, JoyceH!!! And kebbster, great input as well. Slosh-uh: Thanks for starting this topic. I’m committed to 98% raw, but I’m saving a little percent for my weekend drinks. I eat raw snacks after it, and I certainly feel better the next day th…

• I’ve been 99% raw for 13 days now, and I spent the past five sleeping. The sleeping helps – i’ve had some migranes and nausea too. I’ve found that fresh fruit juices (orange, watermelon, etc) really help me to cleanse. Keeping it simple – lots of fr…

  in What do you do? Comment by Winona
• Glad to hear it! I just bought a vitamix, so it’s good to know i can get wheatgrass from it. how many nut milk bags should I buy? just one? or do they wear out quickly?

  in For Maximum Juice potential: Vitamix or Green Star? Comment by Winona
• Hi Rawsiki, Check out the following post in this forum to see daily menus: What/How Much Do you eat and what is your raw percent? That should give a lot of answers to your questions. Dehydrating: generally 105-115, no higher. I eat sundried fruits, …

• If you soak your nuts first, then you can dry them with a dehydrator – that way, you avoid most digestive problems.

  in Are seeds in the same boat as nuts? Comment by Winona
• I have found that buying a vitamix first is the best choice. That way, you can get those wonderful green smoothies in your system. But a dehydrator is wonderful to have as well. I have a 9 tray excalibur, it works great. I tried using the oven on th…

• Eww stringy swiss chard. Sorry to hear about the blender, 123! My disasters generally revolve around soup too, mham.

  in Raw Kitchen Disasters Comment by Winona
• I love this topic! I’ve had my fair share of bad recipes. #1 sprouting wheatberries – my blender isn’t vitamix, so the wheatberries DIDNT grind into flour, and when I combined them with the liquid ingredients and put it in the dehydrator, it came ou…

• I second what Satchy says. Search for ‘easy’ tagged recipes at this site. Also, some older posts from Food Prep from the past 2-3 weeks are along the lines of this topic. Many of us gave recommendations on the other forums, which may be why we’re qu…

  in "Idiot's" Guide needed! Comment by Winona
• I recommend making crackers in your dehydrator. They’re easier than raw breads. Try using either flax, sesame seeds, or nuts, ground in your coffee grinder. They can be mixed with some water or pureed tomatoes. Follow a recipe from goneraw or elsewh…

• Way to stick with it, jenergy. Raw green soups are difficult to make – I’m glad that yours was edible. I’ve had some failures, but I hope to one day make something tasty. Natural vegan – what a fun recipe! I regularly eat a similar concoction – it’s…

  in What/How Much Do you eat and what is your raw percent? Comment by Winona
• I have about the same percentages as you, natural_vegan. But i’d love to eat 50% greens, as many raw nutritionists laud this as the way to health. Green smoothies would help me along this path – but until I get a vitamix (very soon!) I eat salads (2…

• Right on jenergy – my health in the future is why i’m raw now. Why should I wait till I become very ill to change? It’s a worthwhile investment – perhaps the most important one! Well said! I figure the whole nuts thing is an interesting question. Bu…

  in Crazy Excalibur Question Comment by Winona
• I have the 9 tray excalibur and I fill it right up. I prepare foods for myself – but I do one full load once a week, and that’s it! It’s great that I can fill 4 trays with crackers, 4 with sundried tomatoes, and leave it for 12 hours. That way, I ge…
