  • Someone recommended this place to me in London: http://www.inspiralled.net/index.php Haven't had chance to go yet but it's supposed to be cheap, unpretentious, funky vibe and LOTS of raw stuff.

  • I'm high raw and have lost a bit of weight since eating this way but have noticed that if I overeat or eat poorly, my stomach really balloons and I look pregnant. Beacuse I'm pretty skinny, my stomach looks much more promenant than it used to. I rea…
    in Weight Gain Whilst Raw Comment by sv3
  • Maybe it's just a phase you're going through. I tend to have periods where I want diffrent things. At the moment, I'm not really into salads when I used to love them. I'm craving more fruit at the moment and also nuts/seeds/grains. I've decided to g…
  • Congrats on your success! I would watch a couple of videos about chicken farming and this might help deminish your chicken cravings. (I've heard Meet your Meat is one to watch) If you are after something cooked and filling, but still healthy, try ba…
  • That's great advice Audrey!
  • I have been working to cut down my shopping bills recently. I've found that I'm just buying whatever fruit is on offer and trying to eat more simply in a bid to cut costs. I only buy nuts/seeds when they're on a 2 for 1 offer, etc. Having said that,…
  • I don't have children so I can't imagine how hard it must be - but in terms of getting back into raw and healthy eating, I would recommend starting small and building gradually. Like the others said, don't restrict yourself but aim to add a few good…
  • Carrot crackers - I love them! (http://goneraw.com/node/6388) They are more bread like than crackers - but thats fine with me.
  • Yeah, this is such a great idea and I'm thinking of doing the same as Debs - looking for a local adoption scheme in the UK. I'm going to my BF's sisters for Xmas and she's veggie so I'm really happy there won't be any emphasis on a roast turkey for …
  • lilmisssunshine23, if I were you, I would start by not restricting yourself but aiming to eat mainly raw/vegan (if that's what you want). Tell yourself that if you REALLY want a ____, then you can have it. I did this when I started raw and although …

  • I've never been pregnant so I know I have no experience on this but I just wanted to say that I'm sure it's better for you to be kind to yourself, stay happy and eat what you really crave than to feel miserable or force yourself to eat raw when the …
  • Sorry, 'shed loads' is just my way of saying as much as you can possibly drink. I'm not a naturally thirsty person so I find it hard sometimes to drink enough fluid. I know what you mean about the cold weather, I haven't been juicing as much lately.…
  • Green juices are good for the skin...but so is being raw in general and drinking a shed load of water...
  • crispypear, one of my close friends has been on that diet (only shakes/bars) and it's so hard to watch. She did drop a couple of stone but she looked so ill, her skin was terrible and she was almost passing out all the time. She eventually came off …

  • Oh yeah, everyone else gets that 3pm slump and I'd completely forgotten about that until the other day when one of my workmates said he needed a sleep and wished he had more energy (at bang on 3pm). He eats stodgy pasta microwave meals for lunch and…

  • That's great your students were so supportive and understanding. I totally understand where you're coming from in regards to the other teachers but I think it's important not to come across preachy or judgmental as it can turn people off. I sit next…

  • Yeah, I think it would work fine with sunflower seeds, you may need to up the nutritional yeast a bit though.
    in Cashew alternative? Comment by sv3
  • Sunflower seeds would be a good sub for the kale chip recipe. When I've been low on cashews, I've used half nuts, half sunflower seeds and it worked great.

  • Joyous fig, I love the sound of that bread, do you have the full recipe?
  • OOooohh I love the sound of that tangerina. I will give it a go sometime soon! Maybe that can be my next love affair....
  • Oh, that does sound good DD!
  • BrunetteKet, I love raw ice cream! This is my usual recipe: Blend frozen banana chunks in the food processor until they start to break down into small bits. I then add a splash of maple syrup (or you could use argave or /date paste), cinnamon, raisi…
  • Thanks guys, I had a brilliant birthday yesterday! I am loving being 30 and not freaked out at all. I am the happiest I've ever been and have lots of exciting life plans on the horizon. DeborahB, I live in Manchester and never been to a raw resturan…
    in Happy Birthday AVL! Comment by sv3
  • Happy Birthday (for yesterday)! It's my 30th next Monday and although I'm not lucky enough to live near a raw restaurant, I've discovered an amazing vegan place where I taking my parents. (They are still getting used to me being vegan) The weekend a…

  • Hiya, I made these the other week: Pumpkin Bread (http://goneraw.com/node/4237) Pumpkin Pecan Cinnamon Cranberry Spelt Tea Cakes (http://goneraw.com/node/16340) Both were lovely and I'm looking to buy another pumpkin (hopefully on sale now) so I can…

  • the59sound - good on you! We barely celebrate Halloween over in the UK but my b'friend has used it as an excuse to stock up on choc/sweets so he gets to eat whatever is left!
  • I was eating a bit too much fat a while back and decided to switch my oil based dressing with fresh fruit juice. It sounds strange at first but having a salad with some apple (or mango or any other fruit!) juice is so refreshing and tasty. Give it a…
  • I've spouted chickpeas and they looked amazing but didn't taste so good - way too bitter for me. I tried making falafel with them but it was a bit of a disaster as they wouldn't stick together! It ended up as a big crumbly mess but the other ingredi…
  • There's nothing better than discovering something you absolutely love and realising that it's fresh, whole and totally good for you! The first time had persimmons, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! There are so many delicious, natural foods out…
  • Well, I just use frozen bananas for my raw ice cream and add a few raisins, buckwheaties, cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup or argave. No nuts needed and totally delicious! When it comes to raw cheese cake though , I don't have any suggestions I…
