• I love to make stuffed peppers-I mix the walnut taco meat with raw marinara sauce and top with more marinara on top and dehydrate until warm. Very hearty!

• I crave grapefruit the most, but I also love papayas and blueberries. I can’t wait for watermelon to be in season! Blujett8-I just cut my grapefruit in half and dig the sections out with a spoon. Simple!

• I also gained weight when I was trying to be 100% raw (about 5 pounds) although my clothes didn’t seem to fit any tighter. I still didn’t like the thoughts of gaining weight and started eating 1 cooked food (usually vegan organic soup) for supper an…

• When I eat out (which is rarely) I order a salad and just ask to leave the cheese, croutons, dressings, etc. off. I sometimes bring a small baggie of sprouted seeds and raisins to make the salad more filling. I also ask for a wedge of lemon to squee…

• I use the meat from the brown hairy coconuts to make dried coconut. I cut the meat from the shell (it’s quite a workout!) shred it in the food processor and dried it in my dehydrator for a few hours. I store it in glass containers in the refrigerato…

• OK Pam. So I chickened out and did not share this with my co-workers yet. I just get tired of constantly defending my food choices and being labeled as “anorexic” by my coworkers. They are the malnourished ones, not me!

• Excellent. I think I’ll make a copy and hand it out to all of my co-workers who make fun of my “weird diet”.

• Hi totallbetti, I am the only one that is raw in my family of 3. I purchased a slightly used 4 tray excalibur dehydrator on ebay for a good price and it is plenty big for me. After awhile it will not bother you to watch other people eat cooked foods…

• I also buy the Trader JOe raw version, but I think I have read somewhere that the method they use to grind it heats them up too much. I wonder if something is up, because I went to Trader Joe’s last night to stock up and I could only find one jar bu…

• I agree. The first book I read when going raw was Carol Alt’s who says you can eat all you want including desserts. So I was eating raw cookies and candies, and wasn’t feeling great. I never would have eaten sweets everyday when I was vegan, so I do…

• They were the white pointed cylindrical ones. I used a thin knife to puncture the eyes to drain out the water, then my husband used a sledge hammer to break it open and I scooped out the flesh with a spoon.
