  • RCBAlive, I’m happy to share some recipes. I’m a big fan of Matt Amsden’s book “RAWvolution” one of his recipes: Cauliflower Coucous is fabulous and I use it as a template for other dishes. Grind 2 heads cauliflower in a food processor or blender. …

  • ItGirl, don’t let the possibility of being nut free turn you off of being raw. I’m not allergic to nuts but often don’t like to have too many in a day/meal. I’ve found that processed veggies can stand in for ground nuts in most recipes (cauliflower …

  • Former personal trainer, line cook, now I’m a human nutrition student :)
  • Hi Mush, good question :) I think the answer partially depends on whether you are a raw vegan or not. I am not vegan, so I eat raw cheese (can be found at most wine and cheese or gourmet shops if not at your local grocery store) and sashimi. For bot…
  • I nearly forgot the fun reason, I am a professionally trained cook that loves new “cooking” challenges! :)
  • I was on a double dose of Prilosec for Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease partially due to a hiatal hernia (the stomach is pushed through the diaphragm, making it difficult for the GE sphincter to function properly). There seemed to be no end to the d…
  • hmmmm I live in the midwest so I’m not sure that’s going to work out!
  • Good for you guys for all your effort! I can totally relate to the grocery cost/organic crunch because we also try to stick to the $100/weekly mark which certainly can be a challenge. Just remember that you don’t HAVE to go %100 raw. Do what you can…
  • Hey Lotus Lady, good question I know a little about raw food—> acid connection after being advised to go raw in order to help my problems with too much acid. In Natalia Rose’s book “Raw Food Life Force Energy” I learned how cooking destroys up to…
  • Mangowoman, I can totally relate to the cold winter blues upping the cravings for fats. I would advise that instead of trying to avoid them, try your best to ration a reasonable amount into your day (with particular attention to breakfast) because i…
  • AllNatural, I’m so glad things are going better. You’re so right that meds or no meds, everyone’s got to do what they need to get help and I’m so glad you have.

  • Whitewine, in response to your question, I knew of bulimic ‘techniques’ because of my sister’s struggle. How odd it was that I ended up using them because I distinctly remember thinking how terrible it was for her to be in such a harmful cycle. I th…

  • Whitewine, I absolutely felt guilty after B/P. For many reasons: because I had lost control, because I had hurt my body (so much so that I gave myself a hiatal hernia and GERD), because I had wasted food, etc. The list could on and on… In general I …

  • First of all, I’ll echo everyone in saying how wonderful it is that we are discussing bulimia (and other related disorders/issues). Whitewine, I’m so glad that you and others want to learn more about this debilitating disease. In response to your qu…

  • AllNatural, it’s amazing reading what you write because a) I think it’s wonderful that you can be honest with yourself and those on this forum and b) because it’s like I’m reading something I might have written about my battle also. I’ll share some …

  • AllNatural, I just want to echo the support everyone has been giving. I can relate to your situation because I was severe bulimic also. As much as it’s tempting to try and pull yourself out of a cycle with willpower alone, sometimes it’s too hard to…
