• Hi Bitt- I was on adderall for years before going raw. I only took it when I “needed” it (not daily like the doctor would inform), but being a student and a full time architect, these needs arose almost daily. In a few months time, I weaned myself d…

• pianisimma I agree. I didn’t star to care about food combination until I was 100% raw. It’s not the first order of business and transitioning to raw is hard enough alone. But if you aren’t feeling well or are overeating, food combination is somethin…

• Yeah – that isn’t mentioned – at least not from what I’ve seen as I haven’t seen it all either. I need to learn more about germinated nuts and such – I just eat them plain and simple. All of the food combo charts I have seen make no mention of this …

• Yeah the mellon thing was surprising to me, too. I realized why I always got gas when I had huge fruit salads that were 1/3 watermelon. Eaten alone they give me no problems. I must say that I went all raw around the same time that I detoxed so techn…

• Also pay attention to food combination. I have noticed that on here a lot of people don’t follow it, but it is important. Google it – but try to find a raw food combination list. http://www.dherbs.com/detox/food-combining-char… I know I gave a link …

• My girlfriend and I spend about 115-140 per week for 2 people. It is closer to 140 the more that I buy from this raw place that sells premade stuff. But if I only went to whole foods and trader joes (trader joes has CHEAP organic fruit if you buy it…

• Yup. The past is even worse than it is now – and while that was a while ago, it’s not that distant. We could go on forever. Just watch Nickelodeon if you want the truth on the FDA. Breakfast is advertised as Reese’s cereal, as drinking milk through …

• Yeah Alix. And the key is to live and eat healthily. Listening to the government and then worrying about what will happen to you is the wrong way to go about it. If we eat well, we can be happy that we are avoiding that lifestyle full of illness ins…

• If you listened to the regulations you would have been smoking in the 60s and 70s. They tell you to drink milk and have some meat regularly even though you can prove that milk is bad for you. Good for you bones? Why not take a calcium suppliment and…

• How about avocados? Does anyone know if that counts as a “green fat”? I, like Khaas, am also feeling way too skinny right now. Even my mom and my sister, when I visited them, thought I looked funny. I’m 5’4 (male) and now only 120 or so pounds. I wa…

  in Anyone wanna give up nuts with me? Comment by thecavsman
• You have to go to http://www.jubbslongevity.com/ That is a place on the lower East Side of NYC that I passed on the way back to the car after a great meal at Quintessence. The place was closed, the door was locked. I just tested my luck by knocking …

• I know raw/healthy sources that say eat watermelon alone. I realized after I used to eat watermelon with other fruit that it had been the source of the problems I was getting. There are other fruit combining rules, but none nearly as serious as the …

• I’m 21 and raw in Philly – this is my first post. I started becoming raw in late February and I have been 100% since mid-April. It hasn’t been bad recently because I work full time off campus, live off campus, and I’m in a program that only has me g…
