• Buckwheat really is amazing stuff! So versatile. You can make porridge: http://goneraw.com/recipe/buckwheat-porridge or panckaes: http://goneraw.com/node/12464 or snack bars: http://goneraw.com/recipe/sweet-buckwheat-energy-bar

• Loads of good advice here and I would also recommend alternating salads with fruit as you don't want to end up getting bored/sick of the same thing. About 6 months ago, I was obsessed with salad but then recently went through a phase where I just di…

• Yeah, I'm lucky really to work with cool people who are pretty open minded and thoughtful. It must be hard working somewhere that has loads of junk food brought in, although it's nice that they bring stuff for you too AVL. I have quite a few teacher…

• The nutritional yeast helps give them a really cheesy flavour but you could leave it out if you wanted. I'm sure they'd still be nice, but I really like the cheese hit!

• I use this recipe as a guide: http://goneraw.com/recipe/cheesy-kale-chips I don't use as many cashews as it says, I tend to use about 1/4 cup cashews, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds and leave out the agave. They taste amazing!

• Oooh, it's ages been since I made banana chips, I must do some soon. The only problem is I scoff loads in one go so after all those hours of dehydrating they never last long! It's the same with kale chips.

• It's an interesting point siazikk, I watched a tv program the other day which claimed that people who slept under 7 hours a night lived longer than those who slept longer. Could be rubbish - who knows!

• I've always been best on 7-8 hours. This hasn't really changed since going raw although I'm only high raw and not 100%. I have found it much harder to lie in now though and can't get back to sleep the way I used to. I prefer this as I get much more …

• I read somewhere that GI levels are only really relevant to cooked/processed food and if you're eating fresh raw food, it doesn't really matter. Can't for the life of me remember where I read it though but it seemed to make sense at the time. I've p…

• Yeah, my fridge is like Jekyll and Hyde, half raw and half SAD! Haha! My BF isn't too bad I suppose but there's often a couple of chocolate bars, tons of cheese, and maybe a pizza or too. I do tend to take over the fridge with all my veggies and the…

• I'm not great at rotating my greens either and always tend to use spinach as it's mild in flavor. I would say to maybe use other greens such as romaine rather than cabbage - which I imagine tastes pretty strong in smoothies.

• I bring a big bag of food into my office everyday and actually feel very proud. My co-workers often say they wished they could be as organised and healthy as I am in bringing all my own food. I did used to get the odd annoying comment but they soon …

• Although I can't answer your questions - I've heard MSM is very good for joints (along with other things).

• Yeah, I wouldn't bother trying to juice a banana. Far too stodgy and will just waste a perfectly good 'nana!

• I sprout buckwheat all the time - it's dead easy. First, I soak overnight in plenty of water, then in the morning I rinse really well in a sieve/colander and leave to drain. Later that day, I rinse again and leave to drain (still in the sieve). Keep…

• Hey Wichten, I've heard similar stories too but it's so hard to know what to believe when others say it can take months/years to get the pill properly out of your system. Anyway, I've decided not to worry about it as this can only make things worse …

• I've seen some people using carrot pulp in a mock tuna recipe. Someone else on here recommended using it as some kind of face mask/cleanser. Pretty random but apparently very effective!

• Hi Meghan, great to hear from you. I think you're fine to start high raw and see how things go. It takes time to adjust to a different way of eating/thinking and a slow transition is often best to avoid swinging back and forth. I wasn't even a veggi…

• I really like this curried kale salad: http://goneraw.com/node/10893. I'd never eaten kale before I tried this and I was very impressed and the combination work so well. In fact I think I'm going to have to make this salad for lunch this week. :-)
