• I heard that using a sunbed only a couple of times a year increases your risk of skin cancer by 800%. I have never been on one since. I do love the sun though and really struggle in winter time. UK winters are a a pile of poo.

• I was so excited when I got my dehydrator and it was great to be able to make all kinds of breads, crackers, chips, etc. I don't use it as much now, but still very glad I've got it as will spend an occasional weekend making up a few batches of my fa…

• I did have to eat more when I first went raw. I was snacking on fruit/chopped veggies constantly through out the day and my salad at lunch would be huge! As time has gone on, I'm probably not eating quite as much. It depends how active I've been. Wh…

• Ooh, I am just sprouting chickpeas myself for the first time. I've had them before but haven't sprouted my own so wanted to give it a try. Compared to canned, they do still remain quite hard but I found them ok in a salad and also enjoyed them in fa…

• RawKidChef, I have read on a few forums that people have used their blender instead of a juicer. They blend up greens & water (or other types of mixes), then filtered through a milk bag (or similar kind of thing) to get juice. Never trying it my…

• Avoid watching tv or going on the computer too late. Allow about an hour to 'wind down' before you get into bed. Read a book or put on some soothing music. Exercise is great too (although not just before bed obviously!) Keep a pad and paper by your …

  in Any ideas on how to get to sleep? Comment by sv3
• Yeah, I would say not to aim for 100% straight away. Take it easy on yourself and maybe start by eating raw until dinner. This way you don't swing back between all cooked and all raw.

• I've taken cheesy kale chips, crackers and raw choc truffles. (On different occasions, not all together!)

• Wichten, thanks for those juice ideas although I'm curious why the first one on the list is called 'almost chocolate milk'? Can't imagine it tastes anything like it. (I do love apple/carrot juice tho!)

• I've just got a juicer and been enjoying trying out different combinations. I got Jason Vale's 'Keeping it Simple' book free with it, which was handy. He has a juice which he says is like rose wine which I'm dying to try. I think it's just white and…

• I would agree with the above comments and it may be that you don't feel as hungry because your body is starting to get the nutrients it needs. I found when I first started transitioning that I needed to eat loads but others say they found the opposi…

• The cherry tomatoes will probably take much longer as they have a high water content. I've done banana chips in my dehydrator and it can take a while, although by 15 hours, they should be nearly ready I would have thought. I can't remember now exact…

  in dehydrator Comment by sv3
• Yeah, you could do that, although it would take a little while. I'm far too impatient so I just warm soups/sauces very gently in a pan on the hob.

• Not long after I got into raw, I bought a second hand 4 tray Excalibur. It was cheap off ebay and I used it loads to start with. After a while, my diet became much more simple and I ate mainly fruit and salad. I've now started to use it a bit more a…

• How funny, I really liked her book. I lived off the sun dried tomato pate at one stage and the mock sour cream and chive dip is one of the best discoveries I've ever made! Different strokes eh?!

• Yeah, this website is great for recipes! I have so many of them printed off and collected together in my own recipe folder. I've got Ani's 'Raw Food Kitchen' and Jennifer Cornbleet's book too and they are both good. I've found Ani's recipies are all…

• I've just bought a juicer and it came with the Juice Master's (Jason Vale) book Keep it Simple. I'm working through the detox juices at the moment and they're really good. Lots of other juice ideas and some lovely looking smoothies too.

• Oh you should definitely try the pate, it's so versatile. You can have it on top of a salad, spread on crackers/bread, in wraps, on a lettuce leaf, with cut up veggies or just as it is. Green smoothies are great aren't they - such a good staple. A l…

  in Need basic daily foods.... Comment by sv3
• Yeah, fruit and salad is always easy and quick. If you want something bulky or filling, I always recommend making up a big batch of nut/seed pate. I used to make it on a sunday evening and have it everyday throughout the week as it keeps up to 5 day…

• I've just bought a juicer today and it's a Philips HR1861 Pro Aluminium Juicer. Only used it once so far but it was easy to clean out. Probably took about 5 mins if that. Dead excited about getting into juicing!

• It's interesting to see how many people have said coffee. Never liked the stuff thankfully. I'm only about 80-85% raw so I do eat quite a bit of cooked. It's normally just steamed veggies, baked sweet potato, squash, hummus, stuff like that. Oh, I d…

• I've started to sprinkle salt over my noodles first to soften them up a bit. I let them sit for half an hour then drain off all the water and pay dry. They take on more of a soft pasta texture which I like.
