• Do you have a blender? If not, I'm sure you could pickup a cheap one which would be fine. My advice would be to get into green smoothies. They are delicious and good for you. So many variations to keep things interesting too. Also, you could incorpo…

• demallen05, I know just what you mean about all the questions - after my work colleagues found out I was eating raw, they asked me hundreds of questions and intently studied my food for months. It did my head in a bit but it's only natural to be cur…

• Nope, I don't even know another vegan never mind another raw foodist. That's why I find this site (and other similar ones) so useful and motivating.

• I'm about 80%ish raw and the difference it has made to my complexion is amazing. I used to have constant spots but now I can't remember the last time I had one. My skin started to clear up within a couple of months of going high raw.

• Thanks for your comments, maybe you're right in that I need to mix up my workouts a bit. Im really into running so tended to stick to that mostly whilst doing a bit of yoga and pilates. I've just joined the gym (as it's too cold/dark to run outside …

• My fav brownie concoction is fairly simple, but so tasty. Walnuts and/or pecans, cacoa (and/or carob) powder, soaked dates, raisins, drop of vanilla essence and a bit of the date soak water to get things mixed nicely.

• If you are going to eat cooked, you could have simple things like baked sweet potatoes or roasted squash. They are nice with a home made veggie sauce poured over. I'm not 100%, and these are the kinds of thing I have when eating cooked. Simple, tast…

• I think I must be lucky in that I've never been disappointed by anything that's come out of my dehydrator! I have loved both the savory and sweet dishes I've made. A couple of things I've really loved: cinnamon rolls (http://goneraw.com/recipe/cinna…

• Vida.Gitana, thats really interesting. I haven't had a period since coming off the pill (Nov) and it's annoying me as I'm trying to get pregnant. I'm taking maca but would give Reiki a try if this helped.

  in How to improve fertility? Comment by sv3
• I've heard Maca is good for hormones (and the libido) so I would recommend researching that.

• Violet, I admire your honesty and the fact you are happy to just go with what works for you. It's sometimes easy to feel ousted for not striving to be 100% at all times. I know lots of people here are fine with not being 100%, but it's still nice to…

• Kazzie, that's so sweet of your friend - what an effort! I don't think my friends would have a clue on where to start. They can only just cope with the fact I'm vegan. :-)

• AVL, I think you did great considering it was Thanksgiving - well done! I find it tough when I go back to my folks. They do buy in loads of food in for me bless them, but having all the cooked food around too is hard.
