  • Hi ChiDiet – I think a lot of newbies might be interested in nutrition and percentages of greens/veg/fruit/oil – and B12, cacao, raw vs. non raw foods, etc. The whole nutrition thing has sprung lots of questions – what is a balanced raw diet? How mu…

  • When my vitamix 5000 wears out, I will certainly look into other options. Meanwhile, the toxic metal in my wall paint and my water are concerns FAR above and beyond BPA in vitamix container. I think we all have to do the best we can. I replaced my s…

  • Beautiful thread everyone! Shane – you’re right, it’s a journey and a frame of mind. I’m vegan and raw, but I make mistakes and that’s okay. I think it’s important to welcome folks of all types, because as Kandace said in an earlier post in this thr…

  • marienord – be aware that safe sex WONT protect you from getting HPV. hpv is transmitted WHETHER OR NOT your partner wears protection. i’ve had it, it’s scary, and it can cause cancer. however, the strain that i had, wouldn’t have been covered by th…

  • galadriel – it’s very easy to do the water only method. spend 10 minutes massaging your scalp under a high powered stream of water (if you have a strong setting on your showerhead, that helps) or just under running water in the shower. massaging hel…

  • you wouldn’t necessarily look gross, troublesjustabubble. if you use basking soda followed by ACvinegar mixed with water, you will get the grease right out. Try it!! What do you have to lose? You can do the B.soda vinegar thing every few days, in th…

  • troublejustabubble – DONT WORRY! your hair probably wouldn’t look nasty. you have short, thin hair, i’m sure it’ll be fine. i have very long, very thick hair, and my hair looked great during the transition. i work in an office too, my hair looks gre…

  • southernlover – so sorry to hear about the drama at work! how nutty that they would react that way… where i live, many people don’t use shampoo and some folks rinse their hair not often at all. lots of wonderful, caring people – so they didn’t think…

  • I always start with a huge salad or piece of fruit when i’m super hungry… that way, by the time i get done with all that chewing, I can think straight and begin preparing my raw goodness meal – and I know i won’t wolf it all down, since I already gu…
    in has anyone lost weight on this diet Comment by Winona
  • Thanks to dan and chris especially, for your description of the effect of 100% raw. It’s GREAT inspiration for a new raw foodist like me – to commit to being completely raw. Thanks chris for creating a dead food list!!!
    in It's called Raw Food for a reason. Comment by Winona
  • I very much agree with what Chris Carlton said. Well written!! Personally, I think dairy is gross – I couldn’t possibly eat it, with everything that I know about how if affects my body, what’s in the milk – not to mention, why are we stealing milk f…

    in Friendly Reminder Comment by Winona
  • I think the comments are more indicative of a great recipe than the ratings are – but that’s because people haven’t rated many recipes. I think your rating system is the kind i’ve been using, kandace. the rating system could be really helpful, once …

  • Monale – I think that floaters are rancid. Be careful not to soak nuts too long, as they will go bad. Soaking times vary, but in general: Almonds – soak 12 hours Pecans – soak 1 to 2 hours Walnuts – soak 1 to 2 hours Macadamia, pine, and pistachios …
