• My guess is that you maybe have ibs or perhaps candida. i have done a lot of research about candida recently and you can't eat that many grains, fruit or peanut butter on it. carrot juice is also too much sugar. you also could be sensitive to wheat …

• what does it taste like? it should taste a little sharp like dairy cheese, and smell not far off from it. if it tastes awful, you probably overfermented it or it was at too high of a temperature. 24-48 hours is the ideal fermentation time. perhaps a…

• Wheatberries and oat groats aren't high fat, neither is buckwheat, but I wouldn't load up on them. I have a goal of getting one green smoothie, one big salad, and one green juice in per day. That can crowd out the other things. You want to be sure y…

• I personally think it's really easy to fall into this on a raw diet. I think it depends how much you obsess over food. If you are obsessing all the time and scared of things that the average person would see at healthy then you might be orthorexic. …

• I have read that it depends on the type of juicer. If you have a centifigual juicer, then it should be drank right away. If you have a masticating juicer (with augers), then you may keep it in the fridge for a day or two.

• There are a lot of raw bread recipes out there. I recently tried Russell James' bread from his Cheese recipe book that is fluffy like "real" bread. Good stuff.

• It might be better for you to try sprouted or cooked legumes instead of nuts and seeds. They have protein in them too. Can you order some hemp,flax, or chia seeds? These are pretty essential at least in small amounts. I feel a huge difference when i…

• Well, first of all, I would recommit to the reasons you became a vegan in the first place. The most compelling are for the animals. Maybe your husband can get involved and help out in the cooking? At least for him and the kids so you can focus on yo…

• It is hard to get more protein without just eating MORE. Or using powders. I have also shifted to using beans to get more protein. You can get more protein per forkful of food this way. Seeds are fine to eat but they are high fiber and the protein i…

• The fatigue that some vegans can fall victim to can come from deficiencies in Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D. Also not enough of the right fatty acids. I would supplement b-12 and D and make sure you get enough hemp, flax, and chia seeds in your diet. A…
