• Caffeine withdrawal is really unpleasant and can screw up your life for a while. If you can switch to green tea you might find that's enough to get you through the next few weeks. Check the comparative caffeine levels and figure out how much to drin…

• What about slices of a large jicama? I saw some at Whole Paycheck that were probably eight inches across at the widest part. That would be a good size for "pizza."

• What about Vega or something you can mix with water - not a whole meal but it's intended for "performance athletes" and would supplement the nuts/raisins/fruits already suggested.

• I don't know much about you, but losing 50 pounds is a pretty lofty goal. I bet you can lose five. Then five more. And another five. And so on. I think I mean "50" is huge, but it's not like if you lost 25 pounds you'd have failed somehow. Ditto wat…

• Hear hear, Cranberry0. But the "hype" exists in part because of an absence of research. Industry funds scientific research, and eating clean, healthy foods doesn't feed industry.

• Newer ovens with digital controls won't go below 170 or so. There's also a food safety consideration - you want things to dry without spoiling. The moister the food is, the more likely it might be to go bad before it dries out.

• No, some people really are too skinny. Failure to recognize "too skinny" when you see it is a troubling sign.

• I've been dealing with these situations for almost 20 years - because even being a vegetarian is strange and even offensive to many people. You're right, telling them you're a raw vegan doesn't "get into their head" because it's so alien to their wa…

• I love to use it on carrots and beets. Golden beets are particularly good as pastas. Sometimes I use it for salad fixin's because it's actually easier and faster than slicing a carrot.

• Is it possible you are losing weight, some of it in your face? If you lose "plumpness" in your face tiny lines may be more visible.

• Fruit is frozen raw (versus veggies, which are blanched and then frozen). Certainly there is a loss of water and probably some enzymes are deactivated, but frozen fruit is generally considered as nutritious as fresh. Eat in good conscience - though …

• Sugar cane, the cane (actually a grass), is awesome. If you've never had raw cane juice before you must try it. I went to an event a few months ago where the only beverage being served was raw cane juice from these guys - http://www.sugarcanejuice.o…

• I'm so sorry! Sounds rough. Have they checked for hyperthyroidism? Urine tests? I don't know of any toxicity levels for B12 so I think that is safe. For me 6-7 hours of sleep would be no way enough.

• Bear in mind that the oil adds moisture in addition to fat. If you cut down the quantity of oil, or sub avocado, you may have to add a little water to get the consistency/smoothness right.
