• Here’s how I’ve been structuring my raw days: Breakfast – green smoothie with frozen bananas, apple, berries if I’ve got ‘em, kale or spinach & water Lunch – nearly always a big green salad. My favorite dressings are avocado-based because I like…

• That’s good to know! I love soup, but it’s hard for me to eat it cold. Just seems “wrong.” I’ve been heating mine on the stove, veeerrry slowly, until it’s just about body temp. I don’t have a thermometer, but I don’t let it get too hot to touch so …

• First thing you should do… ditch the self-defeatism. This advice comes to you straight from a former self-defeatist of epic proportions, so take heart, it can be done! Heh… actually, I still get stuck in that mindset from time to time, but they say …

• I was a vegetarian and then vegan before moving into a more raw foods lifestyle, so raw meat doesn’t sound very good to me. But to each his own, right?

• Haa! Your husband’s description of the lychees is hilarious. I actually tried one for the first time today. My son and I were at the co-op and he asked me what they were, and the produce lady said we could try one if we wanted to so we did. Er… bleh…

• Wow… I was seriously hoping this forum wasn’t going to start getting negative and snipey like I’ve seen other forums do. Phew! This is one of the most positive & supportive forums I’ve ever encountered on the web and I hope it STAYS that way.

• Yes! Especially with things that have a lot of fat in them. Cheezits and ice cream (not together, haha) are two particularly evil things I have to just stay away from. I’m ok if I just don’t start, but once I have a bite then it’s like this weird co…

• Hmmm… well, darn. Oh well, I’m going to try it anyway and see what comes out. It could be interesting. ;o) At least it was a good price and if nothing else I can dehydrate soaked nuts and fruits & stuff like that.

• Hi magdi, I just got my first dehydrator (found it on ebay) and it’s one of the less expensive round kind. I was looking specifically for one with temperature control vs. just “on” and “off,” and this one goes from 95F on up so that works for me. I …

• Magdi, I think germinating is just soaking, to kind of “wake up” the nut or seed, and sprouting is taking it a step further until it actually starts to grow. There’s a website called The Sprout People (I know, you said don’t refer you, but it’s a gr…
