• i’m a singer-songwriter. i’ve definitely noticed a change in the focus of my writings since becoming raw. they’re getting more “creative,” less “complaining.” =) i also play piano. i play because it makes me feel AWESOME. it’s like a musical meditat…

• just a thought since i read an article in this month’s nexus about the misunderstandings about “alkaline water” water doesn’t have a fixed state and Ph only applies to substances that have a “natural” state… water is constantly changing… and the art…

• if you think about candida in a simpler way—fermentation between the cells, it’s A LOT easier to deal with. i’ve tried anti-candida “diets” and i can never stick to them because they are SO SO SO constricting. plus, i don’t think fruit is EVIL. =) t…

• p.s. you will necessarily be much hungrier in transition than when you get settled into raw living… the start-up cost CAN be daunting.

  in Affordable diet? Comment by pianissima
• i spend much less money than my friends on food. no coffees, drinks, meals out, bar apps, teas, gum, tic tacs, junk snacks at movies… all these things all up (and make you DIRTIER inside, which makes you hungrier). i think the main problem with peop…

• i have a recipe for grated “cheese” if you click on my profile. it gets all creamy on “pasta.” very easy.

• i have in the past confused “not hungry” with “getting used to starving myself.” just a though. =) also, one would have little to do with the other, since the LESS calories you consume the more you are likely to feel your detox. if you are losing we…

• you bought the grass in trays? you have to get a special juicer. either hand crank or electric. check out ann wigmore. she has a lot to say on the topic.

• oh, also, one of my fave things to do is make myself a lettuce cup for every meal. romaine works best. you arrange the leaves all pointing up like a cup filled with pencils. then you use it to sop everything up, or roll your food in as you eat… like…

• if you are missing the chewiness of meaty things, eggplant is your best friend. i have a recipe for marinaded eggplant, but all you have to do is chop it up and let it sweat. coat it with a dressing you like, or put it in the chili. you might not mi…

  in FAD to Raw Comment by pianissima
• i’ve been raw for over a year now. in the beginning i definitely leaned towards eating a small amount of cooked food, for “social” sake. but now i find my body is too sensitive and it’s not worth it. (plus, like you say, what for? it doesn’t TASTE g…

• i can’t tell you how many slices of “raw food, real world” chocolate ganache i had in the first few months of raw. i was losing weight and felt better than ever. if i did that now i wouldn’t sleep for days from the caffeine. enjoy it while it lasts!…

  in Desserts! Can you really have too many? Comment by pianissima
• don’t eat if you don’t feel like it. you have my permission. =) bloating is either the experience of your cells giving off too much of their gas (i.e. detox) too quickly, OR from any number of things that cause the creation of too much gas in your s…

• hey there, it’s true that greens have fat in them. as do a lot of fruits and veggies. mostly, they are in their perfect form (more omega 3s than omega 6s). my point wasn’t that we should watch our intake of greens, though, just for the record. my po…

  in Rude people on other forums Comment by pianissima
• that last part made me laugh. you will look so great. fear of losing what you have is real, but let’s investigate what you were eating on this vegetarian diet, before we blame the no meat. i’m guessing it could have been any number of things that we…

  in Fear of losing certain things... Comment by pianissima
• angie—totally. raw fresh fruits and veggies vibrate at a frequency that is in harmony with our own body’s vibrational frequency. when our body is “harmonized” in that way, it may seem that things flow easier in our lives. it’s not just the raw foods…

• thanks also for the website. i’ve noticed that lemons are mentioned as a toxic condiment, notably because you wouldn’t eat them on their own. i would though. actually, i have been known to eat them straight from the tree, peel and all. my mother use…
