• Eating a lot of fats? Try downloading CRONoMeter (google it) to track your calories maybe. I am not for calorie tracking, but when someone seems like they are all about the weight, maybe they should try. Usually, the better you eat the more you body…

• Can someone finally clarify this? Plastic dehydrators are bad, good, bad, good. Then I read what Excalibur wrote about stainless steel dehydrators and how they may not have stainless steel (instead, plated other metals) where it touches your food an…

  in teflex???? Comment by thecavsman
• All I needed to know is how long meat, etc sits in our bodies and, NOPE, not happening for me. Ill be honest, it had NOTHING to do with caring about the animals when I first went raw vegan (now I care). But I just think something that takes that lon…

  in I'm missing something.... Comment by thecavsman
• Do what I do, just try to make it as normal as possible. No label like raw vegan. Just say that you only eat healthy things. It’s simple. Bringing a dish? Might be weird…or they may just ignore. Seems like bringing metaphysical crystals to a doctor’…

• Everyone would be trying it Dagny – everyone – Phelps is the man right now. They are even saying he will make the numbers of kids who swim rise. Because of his diet, I bet everyone is probably saying “see if you are active you can eat whatever you w…

  in Michael Phelps - Could he eat raw? Comment by thecavsman
• I think it would be very possible. My favorite recipe is No Crust Key Lime Pie (from this site). It is made with 3 cups chopped mango, 1.5 cups dates, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup ground flax, and 1/3 cup lime juice. This makes roughly 4 cups o…

• As for that company, that is uncalled for. To call YOU rude? I would email them back and say: listen, I wasn’t rude, but I have every right to be. Someone tries to help you out because you don’t read up and research what you sell as long as you can …

  in 100% Raw Foodists - You're Really Horrid! Comment by thecavsman
• THANK you itourist. I have been thinking the same thing about that Kashi commercial. “I hate health food” shows the guy knows nothing about health food. Don’t they put sugar in their cereal anyway? It’s easy to have something taste good to people an…

  in 100% Raw Foodists - You're Really Horrid! Comment by thecavsman
• I will admit, after making veggie chili (against the 8-1-1 that I am loosely “following” now), that garlic and onions are not what they used to be before I went raw several months ago (haven’t been big on spices while raw). Onions and garlic feels f…

  in fats? Comment by thecavsman
• Great discussion. I followed your advice el-bo, if you remember, about not starting 80/10/10 yet. But I still started using my calorie calculator and so far this month I have been something like 82/13/5 (guessing) on average. I was already eating li…

• Bananas? Maybe I need to weigh myself as I have been averaging 4-5 bananas per day recently (always having between 4 and 6) – but maybe that isn’t a lot to some people’s standards, or at least it isn’t the amount needed to gain weight. I realized I …

  in Need help gaining weight! Comment by thecavsman
• There isn’t much that I can say about gaining weight – I need to gain some myself (or want to, eventually) as I have lost 25 since going raw. But I will say that maybe you should go towards natural/herbal ways of getting your protein. People may hav…

• I agree w/ TreeOfLife – a friend should want what is best for you. Even if they think it is funny at first, upon learning everything that your diet has “cured” for you and how great you feel, they should understand why you want to keep eating the wa…

  in I need some advice if anyone has the time... Comment by thecavsman
• I’ll add to that…after you take out all of the process related harms of producing conventional produce and replace it with organic, I would imagine the impact of transportation would be a lot bigger. If you take organic produce grown here and compar…

• I’m actually doing a report on the carbon footprint right now – only 11% of food production’s carbon footprint is transportation (overall, food is 13% of our overall carbon footprint in America). It has been said that the process of making the food …

• right…great post…i remember reading it in the other thread and I agree 100% – I ever read that post over several times because it’s so logical. I realize that ALL things are possible as I have “cured” (don’t like to use that word as it acknowledges …

• Wow, your story sounds so familiar. In short, I had a falling out with a close friend and now he wants to hang out again but I don’t because of the weight that has been lifted by the lack of ignorance/bad vibe around me. Without the falling out, I w…

• Wow these stories are horrifying. I am lucky enough not to have run into people who do anything besides try to learn more about what I am doing, or if they don’t want to learn, they simply ignore it and treat it as if it is normal. In fact, my mothe…

  in youre eating too much fruit! Comment by thecavsman
• Its interesting – I became vegan not even caring about the animals particularly. I did it because meat is cooked – and because it is full of chemicals. However, once the transition to raw occured I realized how horrible the meat industry is and I co…
