  in agave nectar-- raw?? Comment by pianissima
• p.s. in my humblest of opinions i think calories are not a holistic way to measure food. they don’t tell the whole story. a rice cake might be lower in calories than an apple, but which is better for your body? (i’ll give you a hint: it stats with A…

  in agave nectar-- raw?? Comment by pianissima
• why not make date syrup? it’s vegan. raw. delicious. and cheaper than agave. i’ve actually bought fresh stevia from the farmer’s market and it tastes pretty good. i doubt stevia in packets is raw anyway.

  in agave nectar-- raw?? Comment by pianissima
• also, i just read the most sage advice from RAWvolution. amsen said it only takes a taste of BEING raw to understand how that makes you feel and it becomes its own motivation. i totally agree, even if it takes some trials and errors to get there.

• frostbitfairy—baby food. post some! i’m sure others with babies would love the ideas. here are some off the top of my head: apple sauce: whir 1/2 apple and 1/2 pear together with a little water. carrot puree: blend grated carrot with a little water …

  in detox before going raw Comment by pianissima
• agreed. great things will happen when you replace REAL foods with fake foods. make yourself a whole bunch of date syrup, make fresh fruit juices, make TONS of raw desserts. remember your diet improves IN COMPARISON to the one you already have. so, i…

• whatever you decide to eat ENJOY it. your body won’t be as sensitive to cooked food after only 2 weeks. have a green salad before you start to get the enzymes in… bon appetit.

• it’s not 100% raw of course, but it’s the least of your worries. it’s good to quit things slowly. and if you are missing caffeine then you definitely don’t want to eliminate the innocuous herbal tea. i find that i prefer not drinking herbal tea as p…
