• I feel for you! I was really sick with both my pregnancies for the first 3-4 months. Didn’t matter what I ate, all came out. So I choose foods that tasted good at the “second” time too, when I vomited. =) It will pass, just hang in there.

• Great tips! thanks. I will be in Chicago at a Trade Show for 10 days. Although Chicago is a great place to be raw, I do plan on bringing some ingredients with me so I wouldn’t spend an arm and a leg on food. Also, I will probably buy some stuff at t…

• JoyceH – No, I wouldn’t. But I think there are different reasons for being vegetarians. If it doesn’t bother her, than who are we to judge her choices? I guess, what I am trying to say, that there are social pressures and everybody has set their pri…

• Trouble, You are most welcome here!!! If you eat meat becasue of social commitments, that is absolutely fine. It is your choice and nobody should judge you for that. I found myself eating some cooked foods too, because I didn’t want to hurt somebody…

• 1sweetpea, You’re not a “bad vegan”!! =) I have had similar experience. As a child I grew up in a small town in Hungary. We had chickens, rabbits and ducks. My grandma use to kill the chickens, cut its throat then steam it and pluck it. Horrible! An…

• I would call myself vegetarian. But I am mostly raw “beegan”. Occasianly at social gatherings I eat cheeze that are sprinkled on salads, or the dressing they have, I’m sure it’s not raw, but that’s ok. I also like good “gourmet” beer and wine. Haven…

• I follow some basic food combining rules but not rigidly. Just like MOTH, I found that for me fruits don’t work with anything else. Also, you’re right BrightseyeLA about the nuts. But, if you restrict yourself too much, than how can you enjoy eating…

• I wish you all the best on your journey without coffee. I was the same way as you Nothinkingbehind. Love coffee with real cream and really strong. I gave up coffee back in May. It wasn’t easy! I was a very heavy coffee drinker, one espresso in the m…

• wow, you guys spend a lot of money on food! I go to the local farmer’s market every weekend and buy produce for about $50. the rest of the family is not raw, or vegan, so we spend about another $20-30 in the grocery store for all the “other” stuff. …
