  in Popcorn Predicament Comment by thecavsman
• I agree with everyone. Now I wish I didn’t tell my mother that this was coming on. Especially since I lost some weight since going raw. Now she is saying, “but you may need some whole grains”. I am trying to tell her that grains are addictive and if…

  in Orthorexia: ABC 20/20 TONIGHT Comment by thecavsman
• The whole thing can be summed up by his attitude when talking about the New York raw potluck. He said “These people eat only raw food – they THINK they are eating healthy”. As if cooking makes the same exact food any healthier. And of course the per…

  in Kitchen Equipment Alternatives!? Comment by thecavsman
• I agree lulushka8 – I can’t get down with all that division stuff. I already don’t like the “vegan” label in the regular world, and I really don’t want a label in the raw world. And people are too nasty sometimes. Look, I don’t eat bananas, etc, but…

  in Why isn't raw enough? Comment by thecavsman
• Raw isn’t enough because I don’t always feel perfect depending on what I eat. I tried eating a lot of nuts in my diet and it made me feel bad. So now very limited nuts. I realized that my banana consumption was skyrocketing and I read more and more …

• It is a transition. You don’t have to go head first into food combining. Eventually, I saw that I felt a lot better when I combined properly, and that my bod performed better on it, but that was from personal experience. Don’t worry about what peopl…

  in Overwhelmed with food combining -- trying hard to stay raw!!! Comment by thecavsman
• wow Izhpt…I have felt the exact same way and its great to hear someone else say the same thing. Everything slides off me now. And it DOES have something to do with the food. I am just as productive in life, but less overly obsessive about things. Pr…

  in "Toxic" people Comment by thecavsman
• They arent crackers, but look up the pop tart recipe on here. If you get really raw almond butter and really raw oat groats, it is a raw recipe aside from the stevia. It tastes SO good, though I’ve only had it early on and never got to use really ra…

• Just want to add that the Newman’s goes for 12 bucks per 500ml so it can only be so bad – at least I’m guessing.

  in Olive Oil Question Comment by thecavsman
• A little off topic, but can you make the need cheeses and such with your vitamix if you only have a Wet carafe. I really don’t want to buy a dry one since I don’t make dry things much – does stuff like seed cheeses count as dry?

  in Seed Cheeses Comment by thecavsman
• Well last night, for example, I had pie using non raw oat groats as a crust – but I never use oat groats. I try to stay 100% raw now, and over the last few weeks I have been – aside from spices and (necessary) herbal teas (no agave). Olive oil is an…

• http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/food/foodirrad… It seems that raw and vegan people are not the only ones against the irradiation. Read this article – I gained some perspective.

  in FDA Unleashes Radiation on Spinach, Lettuce; FDA Plots to Sicken Consumers with Malnutrition Comment by thecavsman
• Please let it be only bagged greens! Now we aren’t going to have to just buy organic – but “non-irradiated”, which of course will cost more and of course the average person won’t care about the difference in quality (leading to illness), in fact a l…

• Any other ideas anyone? I’m just trying to make a decision. Any BPA news?

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by thecavsman
• :-). Sounds good. I forgot that it comes with two carafe so that will be fine. I still probably would get the blendtec, but the vitamix doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch to get the peace of mind of BPA freeness. By the way, anyone looking for …

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by thecavsman
• I am having this problem too and I am looking for advice. The size and the presets are a huge advantage for the blendtec – other than that it seems they do pretty much the same thing. The price is also very good for the blendtec. But I am leaning HE…

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by thecavsman
• I agree with the above advice. Look, it isn’t all at once for everyone. Some transition longer than others, but it is always a process – you are never finish, so don’t go crazy. Just imagine your strength and how you can avoid cooked foods, and you …

  in Overwhelmed...:( Comment by thecavsman
• GREAT story JaimeReks. Just a year ago I looked down @ vegetarianism (only somewhat – just because I didn’t understand it), and ate pizza, cheesesteaks, and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches regularly enough. I’m sure at that time (if i wasn’t in a …

  in I want to date a raw vegan. Comment by thecavsman
• lol treeoflife I know exactly what you mean. Shredded beef nashos were junk food in February – as were cheesesteaks and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches – now it is a 100% raw pie or a larabar because of bad food combo, or a raw poptart that uses p…

  in Need good recipes/90% SAD party Comment by thecavsman
• Make the veggie chili recipe – aside from that the chunks in the chili are onions, peppers, and avocado, I would think it would be very SAD friendly and extremely vegetarian friendly. I like it a lot. I think the key to satisfying or at least openin…

• Plantains! I thought they were off limits. Will def give that a try. Dried goji is expensive and tastes funny to me, but I supposed I could throw it in something for the supposedly amazing effect of goji berries (though probably overrated). I wish I…

• yeah I was getting into 811, too. This month, I have been on a lose 811 and looking back @ my log, I do the best and have the most regular bodily functions when I have a string of truly 80-10-10 to 90-5-5 days. That is when the body odor ceases to e…

• I guess my issue is hybrid fruit. I can’t lie – what I read from some long time fruitarians in an old thread on this site got to my head, too. I also read things from a trusted herbalist that got me into raw veganism about how hybrids are nutrient d…

  in Need Help going to Next Level Comment by thecavsman
• Thanks treeoflife I am the same way – just trying to find my way through all of this. Just being raw was exciting for long enough, but now I want to move on to make sure that I have everything I need. I hear the same thing about eating fruit no matt…

• yup…one time someone at my job was talking to me able how healthy I eat for lunch and she said “you must not have a sweet tooth”...actually, i do have one, and I don’t have to feel unhealthy eating a lot of sweets

  in Will i get skinny? Comment by thecavsman
• Happened to me, unfortunately lol…meanwhile there are dozens of people (women mainly) who WISH they lost the weight that I lost when they went raw – so it all depends. I think chances are you lose weight. Just do it though – worse case scenario, you…

• I agree rosehebrew – I feel the same way Before, everything used the same ingredients – wheat, sugar, milk, etc. Just about EVERYTHING. Now there are soooo many more ingredients and because I’m not cooking it up, I can taste it all. It’s funny how o…

  in Bored with Raw, Need some Inspiration! Comment by thecavsman
• lol…yup, the raw diet is going to deplete your body! Beware. You NEED all that acidic food in your gut, don’t you know? Eat just like that doctor – I bet he is the example of perfect health. That type of talk is silly. Eat what feels right for you. …
