• I tried the phase 1 diet last summer, and I was really excited about it because at first I was doing really well and lost a lot of weight and had a lot of energy. But a couple of weeks into the diet, I totally lost my appetite, and couldn't eat anyt…

• I read the article and I agree, it's a bunch of USDA food pyramid BS. Especially about how you need to eat meat in order to get proper amino acids... funny that, because I've read in multiple sources that meat products are not ideal sources of amino…

• have_mersey, I second that. It is painful to watch what is going on in this country and to feel like there's not really much we can do about it... I guess the only thing to do is take care of ourselves and our own bodies, for now. or move to Canada.…

• I don't know that much about it either... but from what I've heard it sounds like health care will be MANDATORY for every citizen of the USA... and if you don't buy it then you are penalized on your taxes. I think that making health care universally…

• ps- I am currently reading Dr. Graham's 80/10/10 book. I am certain that this diet will be the best for me. I think the main reason I have had problems binge-eating starch and fats in the past is because I haven't been getting enough calories! This …

• Hey everybody- Thanks for the responses! I have been trying to go 100% for two years- but I've only ever made it 3 weeks or so before I binge out on carbohydrates, fat, and salt (popcorn, chips, noodles, etc...). So, needless to say I haven't been a…

• Hey thanks... yeah I should probably be eating more fruit . Joannabanana- are you doing the 80-10-10 diet? Do you eat nuts, or oil ever? I am supposed to be eating coconut oil due to a thyroid condition, but I don't really eat that much- maybe a cou…

• I think that the phrase "everything in moderation" does not include EVERYTHING. Because if it included everything, then it would be suggesting that we eat dog poop in moderation, or punch old ladies in the face in moderation. I think that, although …

• I love kale!!!! I eat it all the time now, whereas this time last year I was only just on my way. But I love to make kale salad (Alissa Cohen's recpie) and can eat a whole bunch of kale at once. Also, green smoothies are amazing. According to Victor…

  in Greens? Comment by lilburger
• Thanks everyone! You are right, I should not be so hard on myself. I do get a pretty good variety of raw foods, I eat mostly fruit, kale and spinach with some nuts, seeds and superfoods (mainly hemp, cacao, and spirulina) from time to time. I really…

• I mean tanning beds... I know it's unhealthy to burn so I've only been doing it for a short time, not burning on purpose. I have darker (olive) skin that tans easily. I agree that diet alone can't prevent disease... but I think it's a big part. I'm …

• Hey, anyone have an opinion about this? I had some people comment today on my mood (I'm usually really grumpy at work, but since this school year started I've been more upbeat- due to raw food and vitamin D, maybe?) and I told them I thought it was …

• I wonder if it's the kind of melon that makes you feel bad? I love to eat watermelons, and they never hurt my stomach at all. But last week I had only honeydew melon for lunch and I had really bad gas pains and cramps and bloating for the rest of th…

• Cool, thanks for the info. I am not pregnant (checked twice!), and I think I will stick it out because the results are really important to me. However, I think that if I can't eat anything still in a couple of days, I will start incorporating other …

  in Phase I of Rainbow Diet PROBLEMS (sort of) Comment by lilburger
• I second the beans and rice. But I've graduated to just beans, with salad, and quinoa occasionally. This is not counting, of course, the days where I just eat whatever I want (vegan) and then feel terrible afterwards. Ugh. This entire past week has …

• We spend so much money on food- probably about $200 a week, not including eating out. But that's mostly on expensive processed vegan foods, like veggie burgers, chocolate soy milk, tofutti, etc. I don't eat those but the my fiance does- he eats a to…

• I love pineapple. I can usually eat a whole one, for lunch or something, but sometimes I have to stop depending on how acidic it is. My mouth starts to burn. But I love them anyway. They're also my favorite in green smoothies!

• Hey thanks... I did read that book by Dr. Cousens, about a year ago. I started taking some of the amino acid supplements that he recommended and changed my diet as well. Probably should check it out again since it was so long ago that I read it and …
