• Hi Rawspice, I agree with the advice above. It's definitely important to start by concentrating on the raw foods you really DO like. You will find that after time, your taste will change and you'll start liking things you never did before. Slowly ke…

• Yeah, I second Ani's Raw Kichen and Kate Wood's Eat Smart. Both very good books. Also really like Jennifer Cornbleet's Raw Food Made Easy. This was great for me when I started as it says how long things will keep - so useful.

• I'm very curious to try it but haven't got around to making myself and wouldn't have a clue where to buy it. Will def put it on my list of things to make/try.

• I know different things work for different people, but for me to keep ticking along nicely, I need to eat every few hours. I have always been a grazer and snack through out the day, normally on fruit or carrot sticks/hummus, etc. This really helps m…

• Hi usagi, a common way to integrate yourself into the raw lifestyle would be to eat raw until dinner. Have a green smoothie for breakfast, big salad for lunch, snack on fruit, then eat a healthy cooked vegan meal in the evening. This approach makes …

• At the moment, it's frozen banana ice cream which sends me into a state of bliss. My BF laughs at me as he says I look like I'm enjoying myself a little too much whilst eating it!

• At the start of last year I felt unfit, unhealthy and in need of some kind of change. I started running and found it really addictive. As I got more into my training I started thinking about my diet in regards to getting the maximum amount of energy…

• I've been meaning to try that cauliflower 'popcorn' but was a bit skeptical about it. How long do you dehydrate it for?

• Shame you didn't like them, I really love the cheesy ones as they remind me of sad crisps. They have the same flavour as wotsits so satisfy my craving for savory sad snacks. I've made a couple of things from this site which other people have raved o…

• Hi Mel, Welcome along...I hope you find this site as useful as I do. There are some amazing recipes on this site, especially dessert ones. A couple I would recommend are the cinnamon rolls and apple cobbler: http://goneraw.com/recipe/cinnamon-rolls …

• Cashews would be a good substitute although I think truely raw cashews can be tricky to find.

• If your mum thinks vegetarian food doesnt fill her up, why not do a fajita style meal with mixed bean dishes, veggie dishes, dips, wraps, etc. Beans are very filling and with a great sauce, very tasty too.

• It depends on how much work you want to make for yourself but how about buying a regular pizza for your folks one night and then do your own raw version. I did this the other day when friends came over. I also served sweet potato wedges, some raw di…

• I know very little about juice fasting, but from reading your post I would say that if you are concerned, then maybe start off slowly and just so a shorter one first to see how that goes. There is no reason you have to do 92 days first off. I would …

• Yeah, I normally eat a couple a day. Always have a stash of banana chunks in my freezer. I've currently got an addition to banana ice cream with cinnamon, raisins, dash of maple syrup and handful of buckwheaties....sooooo good!

• How about using veggie pulp (or shredded veg), with spices or sun dried tomato to give some tangy flavour and you could always add ground buckwheaties (groats soaked then dried) as a substitue to the nuts/seeds? Haven't actually tried it myself but …

• Oh yeah, I'm definitely much colder since going raw. My hands are always freezing and it annoys my BF as I warm them up on him. (He's always too hot so it works out quite well!) I haven't shed loads of weight going raw but think my overall body fat …

• It's an interesting one. If a child is malnourished, then the relevant agencies are supposed to step in and intervene, but not sure what the procedure is for the other side of the scale. People are so scared of offending and stepping on people's toe…

• Oh yeah, it's got to be spinach. I'll never be able to eat it cooked again! Carrots are much nicer raw too. Don't mind most other veg lightly steamed though.

• You could see if there is a raw potluck in your area. This site is also great for support. Don't be scared...be excited and positive! Good luck.

• I've been 75-80% raw for just over a year. Turned pescetarian a year ago and now working on going vegan. My skin has improved tons as I used to have constant spots around my mouth/chin. I feel much more energetic, although I now exercise more than I…

• When I first went raw I went through a phase where I was craving/eating lots of nuts, normally in the evenings when I fancied something to nibble on. I'm not sure if it was because I was still adjusting into eating (mostly) raw but I did eat quite a…

• When I walk past shops like Iceland (an awful store here in the UK which sells frozen, processed, junk) I look in and feel very sad for all the people doing their weekly shops with a trolley full of frozen ready meals. :-( How depressing.
