I've been feeding my two cats a 100% raw diet (100% carnivorous) for almost a year. I get such a kick out of how excited they get at feeding time! They really look like they are loving their meals, especially when they get to crunch through some raw…

Here are a few ideas: 1. Long underwear! I have a pair of black long underwear my husband and I affectionately call my "ninja suit." 2. Blend your soup with warm water. 3. Warm things in your dehydrator - even your mittens and scarves! Warm your bat…

Wow, this is cause for concern. I've read negative information about agave for several months now, and I use very little of it now - only as an ingredient in an occasional raw treat. It seems best to always stick to whole, raw foods with minimal pro…

Greens! Lots of greens. And work out! Try to incorporate strength training of some sort, whether it be yoga, weight lifting or whatever, the more strenuous, the better, within your fitness level.

in Muscle loss on this diet? Comment by MicheleSS

According to Douglas Graham in his book The 80/10/10 Diet, a raw vegan can have high cholesterol and even have a heart attack if they eat a high fat diet. He says a lot of raw vegans eat a higher fat diet than even the SAD if they consume too much o…

chelsey09: Have you read Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko? Adding greens, and lot of them, to my diet has added tremendously to my energy level, fitness and muscularity, and regularity (yeah, that kind of regularity). In my opinion, and tested by…

in Who eats mostly fruit? Comment by MicheleSS

I’m with MOTH on the salad thing – it bothers me that to eat a salad I have to pour something over it and distribute it through, and then I often end up consuming too much of that very thing I poured over it. I’m also not eating overt fats, salt, ga…

in Who eats mostly fruit? Comment by MicheleSS

I agree with chelsey09 – ever since adopting an 80/10/10 approach to my diet and eating lots of fruit and green smoothies made with fruit, my workout intensity has gone through the roof! I almost cannot exhaust myself, even with 2 hour workouts. Plu…

Lovin” My Sunshine wrote: “I now work two jobs so I can pay for my own food because my parents don’t support me eating fruit and veggies.” What’s this world coming to when parents don’t support the consumption of fruit and veggies??? Very SAD…pun in…

in youre eating too much fruit! Comment by MicheleSS

I think each person intuitively knows what weight is best for them. I feel my energetic, amazing best at 112 (I’m about 5’5”), but people around me occasionally comment that I am too thin. When I eat normally, my body settles at 112, so I have to as…

in I want to lose more weight..or is this disordered eating? Comment by MicheleSS

I actually did some research to try and answer my own question and ran across something called “High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing” and read on another website that refrigerated salsas are preserved this way, along with a lot of different foods, b…

I echo what SinzOfMan says. Also, your BMI at 6’2” and 160 pounds is 20.5, which is within the normal range of 18.5-24.9. I would be careful about adding too many high fat raw foods to your diet. I wholeheartedly believe that 811RV with plenty of ex…

in HIGH calorie raw foods. PLEASE Comment by MicheleSS

You folks are so knowledgeable! Do any of you have any information about cold pressed macadamia nut oil? I’ve heard raves about it as far as taste, but is it healthy? I’ve read that it highly monounsaturated. Is that true?

in Any insights on types of oils to use in both cooked and raw recipes?? Comment by MicheleSS

Alix1962, Your story makes me so sad. I hope you are now surrounded by the love you deserve.

in anyone with non raw partners? Comment by MicheleSS

My hubby is not raw, but is very supportive of me. It can be difficult to try to cook for him and uncook for me, but it is worth it because he is such a wonderful husband. He often tells me that I don’t have to try to cook for him, that he is happy …

in anyone with non raw partners? Comment by MicheleSS

I’m with KellyS – I would rather eat than drink my calories! I generally have fruit for the first part of the day and a salad and/or other raw vegies and dip or spread for lunch. A light dinner is more fruit, and a “heavy” dinner is veggies! Boring,…

Check out this quiz and see how you fare: http://skwigg.com/id8.html This quiz is apparently right out of the book, which I have reserved at my local library.

I just finished the book last night – a great read!

Carol Alt does rave about her VacSy, and I love the idea of keeping things fresher longer. How much are the sets? I just did a search on ebay and they seem pricey! See if this link works for a small set: http://cgi.ebay.com/Zepter-VacSy-Food-Vacuum-…

Thanks for the tip on the mice and rats. I’ll check into it! My older cat is eating the bone I give them, but my younger cat is still apprehensive. Maybe if the bone is in mice, he will dig in. My husband is coming home from Iraq tomorrow. He is goi…
