• Marinate/massage in olive oil and curry powder with a little agave syrup and dehydrate to make jerky!

• Ditto on the honey...but back to the question. Can you sub some of your SAD foods with cooked vegan foods? Meat and dairy are really the culprits here. These are completely addictive and hard to wean off of, but as you know you will continue to unde…

• You might want to take a probiotic supplement temporarily, too.

• The Vega meal powders are about 75% raw, if anyone is curious. At least that's what I was told when I spoke to someone at the company.

• Check the forums for the marinated mushroom substitute - this question came up very recently.

  in Bragg's Comment by Suasoria
• I mostly agree with Brontesaurus - transition. People who go from the standard American diet to raw overnight tend not to stick with it very well. It's hard, it's unsatisfying, it's time consuming, it's labor-intensive, it's alienating...these are t…

• Please be very careful giving it to your children. I am not a fan, but it's been about 15 years since I've done the research. There are some dangerous side effects like permanent skin damage.

• I wonder if there is an approach to this using orthomolecular medicine - basically massive doses of common vitamins. Try the site doctoryourself.com - by a VERY respected MD, Andrew Saul, who has extensive clinical background in treating the most co…

• Excalibur also has an eBay store selling "blemished" and factory reconditioned units for far less than regular price. Look for the link in the forum somewhere. Fully guaranteed and everything. There's two of us and we have the 9-tray. It's not THAT …

  in Dehydrator question? Comment by Suasoria
• Hey BelleBelinda, try prepping for more than one meal at a time, and cutting up lots of veggies at once, or even making enough dinner to bring leftovers. So if you're slicing carrots to have with dinner, or sprouting lentils for a recipe, or making …

• You can figure out what your caloric intake should be online based on your lifestyle, size, etc. Then you can use one of the many fitness/nutrition sites to plug in what you're eating and find out how much calories that all is. I believe the one Pix…

• Congratulations...just to comment on the not eating/overeating cycle: if you're eating healthy whole plant foods, you really don't have anything to fear. Were you vegetarian or vegan before, or standard American diet (SAD)? My guess is you're not su…

• I feel your pain. They're such a minor ailment, as these things go, but so irritating and so distracting - it's like your whole head hurts. I used to get styes a LOT before going vegan. One thing I found soothing as well as beneficial - soak a washc…

• DH says Tom's has something in it that should be avoided - sulfates? I can't remember. Lately I'm using Kiss My Face whitening. It's aiight. I like the taste, but I question the whitening power. At least I don't see a difference.

• Yes, many people find seeds easier to digest than nuts. Different enzymes, I suppose. You can improve the digestibility of nuts by soaking first (then dehydrating, depending on the recipe). You may also find some nuts are easier on your system than …

• This is the one I generally make - http://goneraw.com/recipe/cheesy-kale-chips Some of us have posted a few variations in the comments under the recipe.

• I agree with NancyK - consider ground flax seeds: "one tablespoon flax seed, ground" versus "one tablespoon ground flax seed." Either way, I find the difference in volume between soaked and unsoaked to be not so significant it's going to ruin your r…

• "Emotional detox," maybe? It sure can happen. Please do take a B12 supplement just to be on the safe side. You can get it from fortified foods, such as rice/soy milks, or some nutritional yeast brands, but not from fruits and vegetables, whether lan…

• WORD. Ditto Chattanoog - google curlygirl method. I'm doing a variation of it (although my hair is straight) to try to get some body into it. Basically you stop using any products with sulfates or silicones (which no one should be using anyway, incl…

• What's the difference...Carob comes from ground pods of the carob tree, aka Locust, which is an evergreen that does well in Mediterranean climates. Cacao comes from a different tree grown in tropical climates. As Amberablue mentioned, it is naturall…

• The raw jungle peanuts don't have the peanutty taste you probably want. I'd play with almond butter - which is what I use in raw pad thai and it fools me!

• Do they eat pasta, potatoes, carbs of any kind? Beans? What about Indian or Thai or Mexican or other ethnic cuisines?

• There is a difference in taste. I think it's fine to sub Bragg's for Nama Shoyu, but not the other way around, depending on the recipe and flavor you're going for. I don't keep the NS in the fridge, but my tamari says refrigerate after opening, so I…

• Produce - I eat what's in season and available at the farmers' market, so that totally depends. I also get most nuts and olive oil from the FM. The only produce I can't find at the market is usually Ginger Garlic Mushrooms Bananas (we go in and out …

• Really, Worcestershire sauce is GFSF? Who knew??? The vegan version I use does have soy in it. (Annie's.) And the link Evergreen posted is what I was remembering, I think. Good find!

  in Avoiding soy, but miss my Braggs and Tamari sauce Comment by Suasoria
• Somewhere here there is a recipe for a substitute that involves marinating mushrooms and using the soaking liquid. I wish I could remember what to search for, but it should have the savory brown "essence" you're missing. You might also try to google…

  in Does anyone have/use a NatureMill Composter? Thoughts? Opinions? Comment by Suasoria
• Yes! When your body gets enough nutrients, it's no longer hungry. It says "thank you, I'm done." The reverse is true too - you can eat an entire bag of chips and still be hungry, because there's no food value in it. Your body will still be saying "f…
