• www.raw-q.com The interior actually reminds me a lot of the website. The wall is that greenish tan color. It has high ceilings and is, It’s say, only about 16×20 feet total. Their is one waiter that serves the whole place and their is a candle on ev…

• Took my girlfriend to Quintessence for her birthday. Small, quaint, fairly elegant – it has a real going out to eat feel, not a health food store feel. You wouldn’t even know it was raw. I loved it and I’m always looking for an excuse to go back. Ev…

• lol @ Dangny’s Christian comments As for drinking, being 21 and never drinking underaged, I was only legal drinking age for 6 months before going raw. I’ll but it like this, if I don’t succumb to a piece of New York style Pizza or some Nachos @ Qdob…

• ahhh…1436 at rest. So I’m not doing bad at all, considering I’m not really at rest – that’s great. Interesting info all around, el-bo. Thanks. Will be getting the book

  in Calorie Counts Comment by thecavsman
• I was also relectant to care about something like calories early on, especially since weight was not even an issue before I went raw (though I lost 25 pounds). But recently, in helping my girlfriend transition, I have looked into calories and got a …

• that’s comforting…maybe ill finally get a dehydrator now – I wasn’t sure if I should just get an excalibur or wait until I felt like spending money on a stainless steel. I know that information is from the manufacturer, so I’d like to hear everyone’…

  in Stainless Dehydrator Pros and Cons Comment by thecavsman
• I agree w/ venti about the water. If I myself drank as much water as I should, I would save a little on food. Some days I overeat – I think a lot of people do. It’s no coincidence that the days where I never overeat are where I drink the 60 oz that …

• ...and shakes, I have read online about the dietary factors with hair loss. Like everything else, diet seems to play a role. I’m starting to think that diet plays a rule in everything, by default, until proven otherwise – instead of the traditional …

  in vegan men are 'real' men :o) Comment by thecavsman
• I agree dreas. While people in general are all admirable for being raw because of the pressures to eat a certain way in society, the pressures to be unhealthy are even STRONGER for men. Beer, chicken wing eating, pizza all the time, being a “real ma…

• Try to give it back. Don’t know if they will take it though since they aren’t a store and aren’t afraid of losing your business (they’d already lost it).

  in Got ripped!! Honey Comment by thecavsman
• Like most people, I became a vegan on my way to raw. I basically read a whole lot of articles as well as posts on this site. The more I read about the horrible food the more I was against it and naturally, week by week, I was taking things out of my…

  in New - need some help Comment by thecavsman
• I drink a tea to help me concentrate during stressful times where I have a lot to do – probably on average once per day. The ingredients are: gotu kola, ginko biloba, ginseng, holy thistle, periwinkle, calamus, ginger, cinnamon, damiana, and stevia.…

• yup sounds like I need to read the book and mentally prepare before jumping in. Maybe see what a regular day would feel like and then do it for September. I have to prepare for the daily greens. Thanks for the help.

• And my whole enthusiasm has just gone doooooooooooown. Not that I dont like salad at all, I usually have 2 per week – but that is nothing compared to what I’d need to get 2-6 percent of my calories from greens, right? Well, I’ll aim for the minimal …

• I will definitely get the book ASAP. As for failing the diet – I am pretty fruitarian in the first place – sometimes I got 4 days without a single nut, seed, or salad…and I don’t eat acovado’s at all. That is why I will even try 80/10/10. I know how…

• OK – I am a late comer, but I am in. My plan was to go ALL raw this month. While I consider myself all raw now, I’m not all really really raw – I still have dried fruit sometimes that may not be dried at low temps – I still have Raw Revolution and L…

• I’m 5’5 and I went from 145 before raw (at one point, an athletic 155)...to 120, where I finally leveled off. But this is the weight I am supposed to be for my activity level. If I want to get my muscle back – I will have to work for it. Gorillas ea…

  in Help! What am I doing? Comment by thecavsman
• I have been raw since mid April and I have just begun to really try to incorporate a decent amount of greens into my diet. In May I went into this salad crave one week (not by intention but my body was asking for it) then I fell off that – now my bo…

  in How to balance the raw diet Comment by thecavsman
• I’ll third the intuition comments. Every day I just pack enough raw food to let me graze during the day at work – whenever I want to eat and whatever I want to eat, I do. Sometimes if I have a nut craving and I didn’t bring any nuts, I go to the sto…

  in How to balance the raw diet Comment by thecavsman
• yeah…NJ the “garden state”. Not in North Jersey lol. I’m from North Jersey as well. I agree with everything you said. In short, intuition is the key. ANY type of meat is now nasty to me because I have learned intuition. I go to sleep when I feel lik…

  in Why no milk? Comment by thecavsman
• yeah I agree about the instincts. People (most) don’t want to kill the animal or drink from the cow but they don’t mind the products. Milk isn’t even good enough to be worth the damage it does – what could be that good, anyway? I consider milk to be…

  in Why no milk? Comment by thecavsman
• I agree dreasraw – we are all researchers. And personal experience is key. For example, I was diagnosed by semi-holistic people to have dozens and dozens of food allergies back when I was about 8 years old. They pretty much said that I was allergic …

  in Why no milk? Comment by thecavsman
• I agree with all of you saying that milk, raw or not, is NOT for people. And as far as it being one of the two foods in nature where you kill nothing to produce it – what about mangoes, apples, dates, plums – I could go on forever. There is nothing …

  in Why no milk? Comment by thecavsman
• Different things work for different people, but what I have always done (and still do) is write down everything I eat. I have been 100% raw since mid April and I still keep the food diary so I can always look back and see what I did best/worse eatin…

  in Scared to go raw Comment by thecavsman
• dreasraw – I agree about the doctors. Professionals are only professionals because they make money at what they do – even in the health sector. If they healed you, they wouldn’t get you coming back over and over again. Not that doctor’s necessarily …

  in It must be me! AM I CRAZY? Comment by thecavsman
• Oh yeah – I also think some of the reason I don’t say much to people is a guy thing. Everyone just assumes that your girlfriend is running your life (if they know you have a serious girlfriend, like my coworkers know I do) when you are a health cons…

  in It must be me! AM I CRAZY? Comment by thecavsman
• I don’t even tell people that I am raw vegan unless I know them well enough. At my job they must wonder why they only see me eating fruit (and sometimes salad). I have been asked before at work but as I mentioned in another thread I just said “I eat…

  in New Raw Potluck - Philadelphia, PA Suburbs Comment by thecavsman
• That cheese and mayonnaise comment just shows how ridiculous it all is – it’s funny to me. If you are eating raw, you don’t necessarily NEED cheese and mayonnaise. Mayonnaise makes sense in a turkey sandwich but not in a green smoothie or salad. Reg…
