• when i first stopped eating gluten i had to have the family also get rid of gluten. put it in a locked box if they must. do not even approach that section of the grocery store, or have someone come with you to help you stay away from it. keep lots o…

• yeah vegan is trendy but i think of the vegan label as an ethical choice. if you not as focused on the ethics the vegan part can be hard to put on because people will test you with ethical questions you have to be prepared to answer.

• yeah i got a lot of strange looks with my green smoothie at the farmer’s market. people were like dumstruck that someone might actually drink their greens. silly humans.

• CSA= community supported agriculture. you get a share of produce a week from a local farm. they are a good deal but you don’t always choose what is in it. good luck in the juice feast. if you are looking for nutrient-dense greens, beet greens and ka…

• conventional produce has a lot less nutrients because of the depleted soils. it’s sad. can you get involved with a csa or u-pick nearby? produce is still expensive, but it should get better once june hits. you might want to wait and see.

• It seems as if the processing in these types of foods makes them non-raw. i personally go drink tea at times if i want it. as for soy, i feel much better off of it. almond milk in the stores is probably processed and heated so you are better off mak…

• when i have a super high sugar craving i go for the raisins. they are high in iron and help with digestion for me so i think it’s ok. i eat a few handfuls of apricots or pluots every couple weeks too. for the iron. but never too many at once. they m…

• yeah, it is tough starting out. nothing tastes right! a good dehydrator recipe is the onion bread one on this site. or another type of raw cracker with avocado fills me up. also the no-cook falafel bars. i’m sorry your carrot chips were not so good.…

• from what I have researched going raw is recommended before many cleanses. actually you do not want to cleanse too fast because the toxins might get re-absorbed. so actually, eat raw first, then if you want to cleanse after being raw for awhile your…

• I have had bad constipation and an all-raw diet has helped but not all the way. Dehydration is the cause for me due to medication I have to take right now. If you drink like a quart of water at once it might help you go. Also blueberries for me at l…

• 1. orangic foods have more nutrients and no chemicals. the choice is obvious to me if you can afford it. pasturization is a type of processing of food. anytime you process the food, you loose nutrients and enzymes. 2. i would hope that organic, raw,…

• el-bo you’ve been through a lot. i’m glad you didn’t get sick. i didn’t either when i had some cooked food a few weeks ago. i think it was because it didn’t have sugar in it. that is the thing that is probably the worst for me. you reminded me why i…

• i don’t think i am ready yet. i caved and ate a raw revolution bar. i was pretty lightheaded and dizzy. i just can’t figure out how to get enough calories without eating nuts. i’m also going to the raw restuarant tonight and i wanna eat yummy stuff!

• I ate so much fruit today. It seems like when I would have eaten nuts before, I am reaching for fruit. I am not on a strict 811 diet but I am moving towards more fruit and less other stuff.
