• you will get more juice out of the fruits and veggies with the above mentioned models because they are masticating juicers, (correct me if i’m wrong) i think it comes down to how much you want to spend.

• i’ve got this type of diabetes, although i was 32 when i was diagnosed. it has had an amazing effect, and i am able to control my diabetes much much better now. i have reduced my insulin intake by about half. the only advice i would give is that if …

• why not have a raw soup and salad for dinner? i’m not sure if you have a dehydrator, but if you do you should be able to substitute pretty easily for a cooked meal. miso soup is a good transitional meal, it is not raw but living food. you can add al…

  in Our struggle is almost over Comment by stylistchick
• i find that with raw food, fresh juices don’t effect me as much as bottled juice. but obviously orange, mango and pineapple have high sugar content. nuts and greens are metabolized slowly, and they are low in sugar. i’m a type 1 diabetic, so i was t…

  in being raw and pre-diabetic Comment by stylistchick
• i know exactly what you mean, my boyfriend is a carnivore, and he complains just about everyday about how he feels. i have compassion for him, but he’s not willing to clean up his diet. the best i can get him to do is eat more fruit, and maybe add s…

• i say this ALL the time, but, here i go again… i really feel like juicing is the answer. not only will it fill you up, but its a great way to start out your journey because it will help with the detox process. you don’t have to juice fast, just star…

  in making the transition... question? Comment by stylistchick
• i’ve had good luck with naturalzing.com i’m not sure about the specific items you mentioned. raw cacao shouldn’t be too hard to find.

• i’ve been close to 100% raw for about 4 months now. i will give you a short run down of positive effects: within 4 days of going raw, my arthritic pain completely dissappeared. later talking with a doctor, he feels i had undiagnosed celiac sprue dis…

• i find them horrid! i tried the mashed potato recipe (no offense to the person who posted it) but it just tasted wrong to me. maybe its just me.

  in parsnips Comment by stylistchick
• i don’t understand the MSM thing. maybe someone can explain it. if it is naturally occuring in vegetables, then shouldn’t we have a more than suffient amount of it? maybe the side effects come from a lack of startch or carbohydrates? just a guess. b…

  in Concern Going 100% Raw Comment by stylistchick
• also, if you considering a juice fast, do raw food for at least 2 weeks before, this should make the transition easier.

  in Afraid of detox Comment by stylistchick
• i think its important to take at least a 4 day weekend off work, a week if you can. i think the first 2 weeks are the worst as far as detox, but also your energy levels will fluctuate, and its good to just take time to rest when you need to. enemas …

  in All I feel is deprivation... Comment by stylistchick
• congradulate youself for making this choice. its a great fisrt step. i found the raw food lifestyle when i was at rock bottom with my health, i was at a “i’ll try anything” point. within a week, i had so many symptoms clear up, including chronic art…

• bluedolfin: yes, i know about this, i know about the GI. i have type 1 diabetes. i could eat 3 or 4 cooked crackers and my levels would jump around 300. its outrageous. i have pretty much cut grains out of my diet altogether. raw food is the only th…

  in Raw food lifestyle going mainstream in the media Comment by stylistchick
• i notice the lifestyle mentioned quite a bit in newspapers and magazines. the effects are too powerful for the word not to get out. i think its alot like the mainstream vegan movement, when it got really popular with kids back in the early 90’s. let…

  in Vitamix a Toxic Blender ?!! Comment by stylistchick
• i clean my stovetop with a lemon, slice in half and squeeze the juice all over it, wait about 5-10 mins. and then scrub with a sponge. (i’d never have to do this if my boyfriend would go raw!) this works as well as the toxic stuff, and smells great!…

• about the dehydrated mung bean sprouts, if you get this kind and rehydrate them,rather than sprouting your own, you get something like ‘noodles’. of course the fresh sprouts are great for other things too. just thought i’d mention it because i tried…

  in when you are lacking funds.... Comment by stylistchick
• try shopping different places, like the asian market. if you want cheap filler food, find some mung bean sprouts, they come in a huge package dehydrated at any asian market, look for the one that says 100% mung bean. soak in warm water, drain off wa…
