  • i have met a few people who are allergic in large quantities. I have actually hear to anyone garlic is toxic in large quantities. my husband is allergic to garlic, it makes him break out. it is so hard because so many things that are in restaurants …
  • are you getting enough EFAs? would you consider herbs for treatment?

  • i bought some local nuts at the farmer’s market and asked if they were ever cooked/steamed. nope! I never thought about shelling my own. that might open up some possibilities in the nut world.

  • i didn’t come up with the phrase, i heard it somewhere but it helps. i used to have it posted on my cabinet when i first gave up gluten.
  • hi ejowett, welcome. i hope you find the support you need here. i am glad you figured out that you can’t eat gluten. if you are sensitive to it, it can make your life miserable! you did not say how long it has been since you are off gluten, but FYI …
  • about wasted food: get a dog or compost or worm bin. you’ll feel less guilty. my grandma alwasy used to make me eat because of “all the kids starving in africa”. i wish i could have shipped my slimy meatloaf to them. never made sense to me.

  • that’s funny. i have had some questions about it and tell them, yes is green because of the greens in there, but it’s delicious. and the smile on my face makes them jealous or perplexed. :-)

  • these are all great tips. i have had a hard week because i could not prep any staples (like crackers, raw granola bars) over the weekend. as a back up I had some pecans and raisins. i bring LOTS of food to work and almost eat it all! one thing that …

  • ai bet if you eat more frequently you can do it. also blend your meals into smoothies.
  • you have to see if the hunger is really just that raw food feels different in your stomach. gas will be there for while.
  • i am wondering what is causing your eating non-raw. is it time/energy to cook? or is it cravings? you mentioned stress. i too have this. i have some raw “comfort foods” around like flax crackers, lemon cookies, etc. lots of recipies on this site. re…
  • this has been on my mind this past few days as i have picked up the book “animal, vegetable, miracle” by barbara kingsolver. she and her family ate all local or homegrown for one year. i have to look deeper at my choices and make them local when i c…
  • i had a cupcake yesterday. ok, 2. but they were pretty good and gluten-free and vegan and i think even sugar-free! even so, that doesn’t mean the rest of my diet is cupcakes. i am raw today and probably tomorrow, and i’ll take it a day at a time! pl…
  • we make our own tahini in the blentec. i love tahini dressing so i usually use most of it for that but there are lots of recipes that call for it.

  • i just added mint to mine tonight and it was quite nice.
    in Green Smoothies! Comment by bitt
  • the basic is this: 1/2 greens, 1/2 frozen fruit (either frozen by me or the local unblanched stuff i buy), chia or flax add-ins: spirulina, hemp powder, almond milk, soaked cashews, oranges, or cacao powder. (not all at the same time but I vary it w…

  • Kimono brand
  • yes they are green! also more regular. i was very constipated before and now i am better. you can expect to go a bit more frequently. a few times it has been very hot when i went but i heard this is a sign of detox.
    in Bowel movements Comment by bitt
  • yeah my naturopath isn’t too in to it either. she said it was too detoxing for my body right now (although since I am sick, shouldn’t I be detoxing?) she said it wouldn’t be nourishing enough (what could provide more nutrients than a green smoothie?…
  • what juice do you desire? whatever is on the shelf is crap compared to what you can juice yourself.
    in Unpasteurized juice Comment by bitt
  • how much are you drinking? for me a headache usually eases up if I drink lots of water, lay back with a cool cloth on me head. If you are looking for a dressing that is not sweet try a little tahini with some apple cider vinegar and water. it is del…
  • salad dressing ideas with no fat: add acid! either a squeeze of lemon juice or a pureed tomato. chopped basil or parsley. good luck.

  • awww you burst my bubble! i have heard that young coconuts from thailand are sprayed with stuff so i am not sure which is worse. dang, because i liked the drink. :-(
  • I’m already there! I’ll stick with ya though!
  • i saw on a label for a raw product that cashews are never truly raw. so i figured the lara bars with cashews were not raw and the others were?
