• Hi AVL, I'm no expert (and not 100% raw myself) but would say that if you're running 10k at the start of the day, you'll probably need to eat quite a bit to ensure you have enough calories to keep yourself going. I have been running lots recently an…

• Wow, you are so organised to have come up with that menu/plan for your trip. I hate to state the obvious, but how about just having fruit for lunch? Simple and tasty! Hope you have a great time.

• I think this is just one of those topics which will always cause debate. There have been quite a few discussions on this site relating to this. I use agave occasionally, but like using dates/maple syrup to sweeten things. (I'm not 100% raw)

• Mikfizzle, if you have lots of carrot pulp, you've got to try the carrot crackers on this site. They are amazing! http://goneraw.com/node/6388

• I'm just reading The Four Agreements and would highly recommend it to anyone. The second Agreement is 'Don't take anything personally'. This book is a really good read and I hope to gain enormously from the wise words.

• Chin up Troubles, I read something the other day which said 'Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing other people do is because of you. It's because of themselves'. I think that really sums it up! I too have had my fair share of odd looks and jokes …

• I'd say I grew up eating pretty healthily (by junk SAD standards anyway). My Mum would cook freshly prepared meals every days which included plenty of veg. She wouldnt give us junk. She didn't let us drink fizzy drinks and we had to beg for 'treats'…

• Hi fruitie, it's a hard one I know. Although I'm not 100% (I'm high raw), I have found myself avoiding certain situations when I know the food on offer will be limited or no raw options. I also know how it feels to not really want to explain my diet…

• Ah joannabanana, I feel for you! I am constantly buying bananas to make sure I always have some at just the right ripeness. I love the fact that any surplus can be frozen. I am so addicted to my ice cream at the moment...it's become a nightly ritual…

• Hi Ashton, I must say I don't sprout that much but mung beans and quinoa are dead easy. Start small and see how things turn out. Quinoa sprouts really quickly and it's good for filling salads. Good luck on your raw journey!
