• so did we come to any conclusion about the dates? i doubt the dates are putting on the pounds if you are still eating bacon. but maybe i misunderstood.

• I had a lot of bloating and digestive issues at first. I am glad I did not eliminate nuts because it really had nothing to do with that. My body was just working some stuff out.

• “call me vain but when I’m fat I hate my life, that’s just how it is.” It would be remiss to not suggest counseling in addition to whatever diet you choose.

• heh heh, bluedolphin i’ve done that too, misspelled word to the dictionary. I’m going through this sleep pattern in the past few nights where I sleep my normal amount of 10 hours then the next night need only 6. I think I am re-adjusting from my ill…

• i heard it was that raw vegans need less sleep. but if you are tired that is no good. nycgrrl, you can get your iron levels tested with a blood test if you want to. i have the opposite problem but i am still recovering from mono. i sleep about 10-12…

• they are not modified at all. there are so many varieties of herloom fruits and veggies that we have probably never seen due to the monocropping that is practiced these days. the yellow does seem to be more popular, although I remember it from 10 ye…

• just eat light if you are not too hungry. the problem i get if i wait too long is that i get REALLY hungry and that’s no good. a banana is plenty sometimes.

• i will not say much but i think if you had to choose which is worse dairy is worse than meat. for the environment and health and perhaps ethically as well.

• you have to at least brush (not so important what you brush with) and floss. I am determined that it is very important if you want to keep your teeth. If any health problems I have heard of with raw foodists it is their teeth.

• I’ve been vegetarian since 15. I didn’t eat very well though. My family was no help and I just had to hae the “sides” and buy frozen veggie burgers. There are some teens on here, I bet they will pipe up. Things have changed since I was a kid. I thin…
