• i think the false logic when we equate weight loss with health. there are many ways to lose weight, but they aren’t all optimal for your health. everyone has their theory, but you don’t have to stick your head out the car window on the freeway to dr…

  in Green smoothies--good or bad Comment by pianissima
• seize—you are right. that sounds revolting =) but i’ve heard of people doing it before. out of curiosity, how much do you ingest?

  in Green smoothies--good or bad Comment by pianissima
• this may seem too obvious, but how QUICKLY are you eating your smoothie? i only notice a problem when i spoon it (i eat it like soup) quickly. i try to remember how much FOOD is in it and take time to breathe between spoonfuls—when i would normally …

• i felt this way at first too. i felt like a bottomless pit. that’s fine. trust that as your body adjusts it will go away. i would start your day with a green juice, then eat fruit… a LOT of it… i like to add fat at dinner. do you like green smoothie…

• people stopped asking me as i got more comfortable with it. i think because i was so sensitive to how i thought others would react i attracted interest where otherwise people would have been more focused on themselves… life is like middle school, no…

• i rarely make dehydrated food, but when i do i make patties, which only require about 4 hrs (if that) cuz i like them sort of “rare” inside. you get into a groove with it and like winona said, you get a better grasp on how to plan meals ahead of tim…

  in does your dehydrator ever sit still? Comment by pianissima
• from what i understand the reason you need a certain amount of calories is so your body doesn’t go into too heavy a detox. you should eat as many calories as you need to avoid too great a detox that your body can’t handle. as you eat more raw foods …

• absolutely! in fact, i just posted this in the amonia forum. this is why i can’t use chemicals anymore. i walk into stores and such after they’ve cleaned their floors and i have to get OUT. our senses are extremely dulled from our unnatural food int…

• no that makes total sense. so nightshade means produces fruit? i guess i was just wondering how i could feel confident going “oh that’s a nightshade… OBVIOUSLY because____” =)

• queenfluff—yeah, it’s some combo of what i ate and i don’t think the cacao helped. well, at least i know that now. i’ve never tried msm, but i’ll go check it out. also, i looked “nightshade” up on wikipedia and i still don’t really understand what i…

• i’m not really sure how to describe it.. it’s more of an achy feeling… it’s the same feeling i got once when i did a juice fast… like when you’ve gotten out of a hot bath and there’s this PULSE in your system. but it’s not making ME more energetic, …

• thanks guys! magnesium… hm… if i ate more greens i’d turn green, seriously. but i did incorporate some cooked veggies since i thought it was detox and that would slow it down… now i realize i should probably just hold my ground… thanks for the info …

• oh, one more thing: i’ve never had problems with cooked eggplant. and ironically i was trying the eggplant to add some variety to my diet… oh, i am a constant experiment!

• whole foods REALLY likes to carry local goods as i understand it, so if you know of someone in your area who makes delicious raw foods (i don’t) you should recommend that they approach whole foods to start carrying their products… the whole foods in…

• the rawness of a nut has more to do with it being pasteurized or irradiated. if it’s roasted it is clearly stated. but “raw” just means not roasted and has nothing to do with whether it has been damaged by other forms of heat. you should check with …
