• at first when i started buying them i had the guy in the produce department help me find a ripe one. it was a perfect pick. now i am better at it myself, but it takes practice. you have to get used to the feel. slightly soft but not too soft.

• malene, it seems as though it can take awhile to detox completely. i mean, years if you have eaten cooked for years. and then there is detoxing from the environment. laziness/fatigue can be part of it. try some juices or wheatgrass.

• ok, it makes sense that you were so tired. i had an infection too that i found out about when going raw. in the end going raw helped, but you will still have to fight the infection. raw snacks in your purse are a great idea. i bring food everywhere …

  in Looking to purchase Dehydrator? Comment by bitt
• I have the excaliber 4-tray. I have dried sweet potatoes in it for a treat for me dogs. They love it. Keep in mind the fruit shrinks so you can put lots on the trays. I think the main benefit to the excaliber is that you do not have to stack the tra…

  in Exhausted due to caffeine? Comment by bitt

• Allantgy, i don’t know if this has to do with being raw but sometimes women just don’t get it for a variety of reasons. one of which is low body fat (athletes can have this too). low body fat is NOT my problem right now!
