• I know the feeling AVL, last weekend I went out for lunch with my BF and had a veggie burger and chips, with mayo and ketchup on the side. I felt pretty yucky afterwards and was so full that even by 8pm that night I didn't feel hungry, when normally…

• I lived in Australia for a year and it's an amazing country, but I would seriously avoid Darwin. I lived their for 3 months and couldn't believe the narrow mindedness of certain people. I lived with a guy who held such distaste for vegetarians. He c…

• I am so jealous that you have places near you like that - I would love to go to a raw restaurant.

• Be prepared and plan your raw meals/snacks ahead of time. I find this helps me stay on track of where I want to be. Just buy real fresh food, bin all your sad food. Don't even think of sad food as food, think of it as pretend. Visit this site (and o…

  in TOTALLY LOST IT...... Comment by sv3
• Yeah, I agree that the whole concept of a 'proper meal' is one of the biggest hurdles to overcome on raw. I have totally changed my way of thinking since going raw.

  in Good recipes to transition with? Comment by sv3
• Yeah, I totally agree with the above. Just start doing 'raw till dinner' with a healthy vegan evening meal, then you can gradually phase across (if/when you are ready). This is currently what I'm doing and I honestly dont feel deprived at all. I lov…

• 'Does anyone else on here have partners who are stuck in their ways?' Yep, sure do! My bf isn't remotely interested in raw but amazingly, he did switch to having green smoothies for breakfast with me. Unfortunately, he's now switched back to two sli…

  in Help! My Boyfriend Won't Eat 'Cold Food' Comment by sv3
• That's a bit of a tricky one. You could gently warm some dishes in a dehydrator or soups by whizzing them for longer in the blender. Having said that, you can't really do anything about the staple meals for most raw foodists like smoothies and salad…

• I agree lulushka8, I like looking through my recipe books as motivation and occasionally something pops out which I've never noticed before. I also like Kate Woods as she lives in the UK.

• I know what you mean about moving away from stodgy dehydrated recipes, I used to love making cracker, breads and other treats, but have recently been going off these. Either that or I'm just getting lazier! I made a raw lasagna at the weekend and wa…

• Haha! I hadn't noticed that pixx, you must be more observant than I am! It is quite a basic book, but I think that's what makes it good for beginners.

• I would def recommend Jennifer Cornbleet's 'Raw Food Made Easy'. Would be good for you too pixx as I can't think of one recipie which calls for a dehydrater.

• Oh dear, think I'll watch this later when I'm not at work. Don't fancy bawling my eyes out here.

• Quite alot of people don't agree with freezing as they say it distroys the life force like cooking does. I think it could well be true but hey ho! I personally freeze a few things like berries, bananas, left over dehyrdated stuff, etc. (But I'm not …

• I've recently started just squeezing organge/mango juice onto my salads and it's lovely. Dead quick and easy too.

• Hi bAlance, I have read good things about Maca so you may want to research this as it could help you and your husband. This site is great for information and support, I have found it really helpful in my raw food journey. I wish you all the best. :-…

• Thats great oki! I haven't tried either but would definitely love to. There's nothing better than discovering something new and tasty - I remember my first sharon fruit - sooooo good!

• Welcome Vanessa, I think you have a great outlook and I'm sure you'll do really well. It was after decided to get fit (through running) that I started to focus on my health and that's when I started to question what food I was eating and what I cons…

• I'm glad this thread came up as I am currently quite worried about the number of water infections I seem to be getting recently. (They also seem to be triggered by sex.) Although they are not severe, I can definitely feel the symptoms and it just do…

  in Help! UTI or kidney infection- what do i do? Comment by sv3
• Just take as much as you can with you, lots of fruit, trail mix, crackers/breads, dips, etc. If you go out to eat, just pick something simple off the menu and most importantly, don't beat yourself up if you do eat some cooked food as you know once t…

• I think pressure on girls to be supermodel thin is terrible, but I also think it's really important that parents take responsibility for feeding their children a healthy diet and teaching them that if they want to feel and look great, they need to e…

• Haha! You're so right Dancin Durian! When I think what most of my friends/family would list I realise just how far I've come. It's also interesting to see who favours sweet/non sweet foods.

• I think everyone's different with this whole warm/cold issue as there does seem to be an even mix of people who keep warmer from a high fat diet and others on a high fuit/low fat. Personally, I have been far colder since going (high) raw and have on…
