• thanks for all the ideas! i’m going to try some of these – the crackers sound amazing. i actually did make a zucchini pasta with my left over ‘Tomato Fusion Juice’ recipe on here… i’ll post the pics soon. it was great, and best of all, i felt happy …

• i have such a hard time with juicing because of all the left over pulp! it just seems to wasteful to just toss (compost) it. i’m going to start freezing the pulp and seeing what recipes i can come up with. i guess losing some nutrients is better on …

• bitt – i think all posts should be welcome – we can all help RawK overcome this hurdle by showing the way to Raw. :) at least that’s how i try to look at it. Pizza was my first big transition food as well… i don’t really like a lot of sweets, but i …

• I eat about 75%-80% raw… I strongly agree with what Kandance had to say about dogmatism. I am always trying to do what’s best for my health and the environment, but i also allow myself mistakes or allowances without beating myself up about it. :) AL…

• fell off the wagon last night – ok, several wagons. my inlaws threw a birthday party for me and went completely out of their way to make an entirely vegan meal (they are not). they even made homemade soy ice cream for me, as i was a huge ice cream l…

• i agree with a lot of the posters on here – greens are what have been allowing me to stick to this diet. i do love fruit, but i’m finding that a good balance of veggies is what helps me stick to 811 throughout the day. not to say that i haven’t slip…

• i’m still here… although i was a late starter. definitely had a higher than normal fat count yesterday with father’s day… whew. but i’m trying to make up for that today. have a big fresh salad for lunch, a few oranges, and will be whipping up some c…

• I have been following this post, but didn’t join at the beginning of the month due to a bunch of social situations that I knew I wouldn’t be able to stick to 80/10/10[ish]. however, i’m on the bandwagon starting today, so it’s more of an 18-day chal…

• i too have feel off the raw wagon a few times (although still vegan). when i’m craving comfort foods, I search this site for a good alternative… or I’ll google the food i’m wanting and just add ‘raw’ to the keywords. it’s been so helpful. although i…

• i found that replacing one or two of my meals with a green smoothie keeps my energy up all day. i usually have a smoothie for breakfast and lunch – or if i have a salad for lunch, i swap this and have a smoothie for dinner. i kept it pretty simple i…

• i’m 5’9”, 130lbs… i’m 29 – almost to the cutoff between size 1 and 2, but have never had kids (and don’t plan to in the future). is there anyone around my size who might recommend which size to purchase? Thanks.

• i too had a bad weekend – although it was raw, i still just ate so much. especially this nut cheese i made. i’m making up for it by only eating raw smoothies for three days (i’m on day two) – i feel about 90% better already. :)

• I will say that beating yourself up about eating non-raw is definitely something you should try to avoid. going 100% is hard, and all you can do is try to do your best. i am at about 80-90% right now, and found that if i just try for that, i don’t h…

• When i first went raw, I relied on this recipe like crazy. It is so dang good and so simple – just throw it in a blender for like 45 seconds. 1 banana (peeled) 1 orange (peeled) 1.5-2 cups baby spinach few ice cubes and about 1/4 cup water for blend…

• I found the best way to work with my SAD family was to start bringing one or two palatable dishes to family functions. To teach them that hey, this can taste good and be healthy! They still eat all sorts of garbage, but they seem willing to compromi…

• thanks for the feedback from everyone. i am a pretty regular exerciser, although i can’t imagine having the energy in my current condition. and it sounds like a great excuse to seek out some much needed massage work. i think i can deal with this – e…

• i find that being high raw (80-90%) is what best fits my lifestyle. i do still drink beer, but other than that, only about 2 or 3 of my meals every week will have some sort of cooked aspect… for instance, the other night i had large salad for dinner…

  in Question about cooked dinner Comment by maihio
• i consider my self high raw and eat about 90% raw. i usually have two green smoothies during the day… or 1 smoothie and spinach salad with lots of bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. if i still want snacks, i do eat a lot of carrots for snacks… …
