• rawkidchef— i think you missed the point of the article that mr. mickmaster gave. (thanks by the way!) the assumption that we need “complete” protein stems from the misguided idea that “meat is best” but vegans are making a “really cute & compas…

• agreed about blender. i use the food processor too, but the blender more often. though, it depends whether or not you prefer things like squash rice, mock taboule, grated carrot and beet salad (if so, go for the fp)... or green smoothies, blended dr…

• my favorite is definitely Eat Smart, Eat Raw by Kate Woods. it is very informative, has really ORIGINAL recipes. it doesn’t have any photos, but the most important thing i love about this book is that she has TESTED her recipes. the flavor combinati…

• p.s. i also found out today that one of the MOST important things that Dr. Fred Bisci recommends is not to eat between meals. it is the leading cause of fermentation.

• i drink tea. usually herbal, or just hot water with lemon juice. it does get cold in CT, but mostly i find it keeps me from eating when i’m not hungry. as for chocolate—the natalia rose reasoning is that if you are eating cooked foods at night then …

• i’m a little concerned over how much emphasis is placed on calories lately… it is ONE opinion that we need a certain amount of calories. many other raw foodists concentrate on NUTRIENTS, and the totally bizarre concept of EATING WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY!…

• to develop lean muscle you have to exercise. food isn’t going to do it. eat when you’re hungry. continue eating raw… after the initial “major” weight loss i found it took more time to shed the last remaining pounds… this is not a miracle weight loss…

• here is an epiphany i had, after my dentist told me you shouldn’t brush your teeth sooner than 30 minutes AFTER you eat. the acids in the food are still in your mouth and so you are effectively using those acids to brush your teeth. this can cause g…

• bitt—i have that problem too and i always feel overly full after eating them. SO, this is the only way i “eat” them now: blend one banana with 1 and 1/2 cups of water, a few ice cubes and some optional cinnamon or ginger. makes a great refreshing dr…

• i WAS eating 4-5 a day, more when i was going 8/1/1 in august, but i find i like life without them too. as long as you aren’t noticing any problems, then there’s no problem right? i find i do better with fruits that are lower in starch and lower in …

  in Raw Enzyme argument Comment by pianissima
• i think the raw food movement is too focussed on enzymes. better arguments for me: 1. i feel like a different person. i never get sick now. 2. we are the only animals who heat their food. we’ve been socialized into thinking that is normal, but it re…
