  • Of course, in a perfect world we wouldn't need to take supplements - but this isn't a perfect world and I am not going to risk deficiencies. I recently found out I'm very low in vit D and I live in northern England. I don't have the luxury of being …
  • Just wanted to say that I think it's lovely you've made such an effort for you guy. My BF is great but has never once tried making a raw meal for me.

  • Oh Wow, great to hear about raw meet ups in the UK. I'm in Manchester but Newcastle is just that bit too far for me.
  • Good question - I'd be interested in this too.
  • Ok, I know you said you like crunch but you've GOT to try buckwheat porridge as it's a winner! http://goneraw.com/recipe/buckwheat-porridge You can make it the night before, keep it in the fridge til morning then mix in some blueberries and chopped …

  • Mm, I don't really like the taste of celery but find it's ok when juiced with other greens, apples or lemon. Love cucumbers though!
  • Mm, it can be tricky navigating social events which involve food/resturants. You could just go somewhere you know will serve good salads as that would be an easy option for you to order. I know some people on this site have said they've taken their …

  • Can't remember where I read it but someone once said something along the lines of "I'd rather talk about politics or religion before I discuss my food/diet choices"...I totally agree! There's nothing like food/diet to get people hot under the collar…
  • Wow, I wish I could help but I've never lost my appetite (well, except once when I had a broken heart). I'm guessing it will probably come back naturally but if it doesn't maybe check it out with the docs. Have you had this before? Are there other t…

  • tahiti, I wish you a speedy recovery - it must be really fustrating to have to go back to cooked food after being raw for a while. Sounds like you're doing really well though. Best wishes. :-)
  • After finding out I'm pretty badly deficient in vit D, it's forced me to think about other essentials I may be missing outon. Powerlifter, you've made me think about iodine and I've just bought some kelp supplements this weekend. Thanks for bringing…
  • Haha, you're spot on powerlifer! That's exactly what I do with spirulina - a shot of that followed closely with a big glug of my breakfast smoothie/juice. It does make me shudder though.
  • I personally prefer them both in my green smoothies and I'm fine with the taste but I read some people take MSM in their lemon water. Tried it once and it seemed ok. Haven't really got a good suggestion for maca though as I like it in smoothies and …
  • As a teenager I used to get terrible exam nerves and my dad gave me a hypnosis video to combat stress which I found extremely useful. I'd watch it the night before my exams (or any other stressful situation) and it chilled me right out. Occasionally…
  • Hi grapepixy, If you're worried, try entering everything you eat into fitday.com as it gives you a good idea on the calories/nutrients you're getting. What you're eating looks great but it may not be enough calories to keep you feeling satisfied. I'…
  • Hey kminty3, I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Came off the pill last Dec after taking it for 13 years. Would love to get pregnant but periods are all over the place. Been trying to take maca regularly and bought some bee pollen but feel a bit od…
  • Hey greenwood, just wondered if the coconut oil you got from the Asian supermarket is raw? It's just that I noticed some too the other day in the Asian section of a supermarket but don't think it was raw. Do you remember the brand name of yours? PS.…
  • greenwood, I live in Manchester, England. :-)
  • Thanks for the tip about Lidl greenwood. I am lazy and tend to get most of my shopping from one place but I eat a ton of spinach so def going to Lidl from now on!
  • Hi greenwood, I love hempseeds and add them to my salads sometimes. I also blend them with filtered water to use as a base for my smoothies. Good luck on your raw journey. :-)

  • Thanks for the link greenwood, just had a quick look and the site is lovely. The recipe books is beautiful and loads of great ideas. :-)
  • So beautifully put EvaAfrica. :-)
  • I'd def recommend doing as much research and reading as possible. It really helps to be able to answer any questions people have about being vegan or raw and the better prepared you are, the stronger you'll feel and better able to cope with other pe…

  • Looking at your daily intake I'd def recommend adding some greens and other veggies. Try to ditch the gum...or at least cut back.
  • Hey Sheriern, you 've got to try this recipe - it rocks! http://goneraw.com/recipe/chunky-veggieful-chili You could have it on top of zuchinni 'pasta' or with some corn crackers, etc. Or how about this: http://goneraw.com/recipe/incredible-creamy-in…

  • Most frozen corn has been blanched before being frozen, so it's not raw.

  • Yeah, I got a baby 4 tray Excalibur off ebay and it was a bargin. (Can't remeber exact price now tho) Worth checking out as they are good.

  • I love hummus and chopped veggies as a quick and easy meal. If you're prepared you could make some dehydrated bread/crackers, then serve them with any kind of raw spread/dip. Fruit is a life saver and you can have it as simple or as fancy as you lik…
  • Hi Amy, Welcome along, I'd recommend you start simple and see how things go. Maybe you could have fruit for breakfast, or a green smoothie (banana, spinach, berries is a great one and you can't taste the greens!). For lunch you could have a big sala…
