  • I’m enjoying these stories. First, I can relate to those horrible comments. I’ve heard many of them from friends, family and nutritionists. Second, as a Mom, there is no stopping my kids with fruit or veggies. They want four peaches for a snack? Fin…
  • I recall an intense chocolate craving and I asked my nutritionist, she said it could be a lack of zinc and/or protein. Not that I know high zinc foods, but you can look into it. I’m not all raw, so I ate some tofu and felt better. In addition, anoth…
  • you know what’s fun? I’m a pastry chef (though it was about 10 years ago since I worked in the field). Now that my twins are starting pre-k in the fall, I’m starting a baking career, again…this time either raw or vegan chocolates. I love starting my…

  • Another great thread on 8/1/1. I’m on day three. Today was a little tough, but just for moments at a time. And, of course, it was for “heavy” foods. So, not being hard on myself, I’d have a bite of a larabar or a small spoonful of almond butter and …
  • Yesterday (Friday) I ate about 10 bananas through the day, an early snack of strawberries, a late snack of carrots then dinner of a huge salad. The salad wasn’t one of my best, but it’ll come back to me. I did have a bite of very dark chocolate befo…
  • Well, I just woke and got the morning started and I am very excited about this change. I do not turn the computer on over Shabbat, but I will be posting quite a bit and checking in so I can share and learn. Between this thread and the other with all…
  • i’m debbie or deb, too. twins are the best. are these their first children? twins are crazy! pure chaos….fun chaos. mine are four and now that they are potty trained and a lot more independent, we have lots of fun (lots of time out’s, too)
  • deborahann (my name is deborah renee!), moth…and everyone else, i just put the kids to bed and jumped on this site because with warm weather really hitting in to town tomorrow, i am starting 80/10/10 and i’m very excited. i went to trader joe’s and …

  • I am preparing vegan options for my twins. Tonight I made Amy’s dairy free mac and cheese, a raw waldorf salad, and a raw chocolate dessert. My son ate everything, my daughter didn’t want the salad. That’s my plan for now. As toddlers they ate a lot…
  • You have to give yourself some room to eat non-raw. I feel very strong about this. I drink soy milk or store bought almond milk. I had tofu and even mashed potatoes with my dinner last night! When I first went in for ED treatment I refused to admit …
  • I was just thinking of this thread yesterday. I’m starting my second year of awareness and treatment of my eating disorder. I agree that an ED is never about the food. The end result is the food. Food is the control, outlet, behavior for something m…
  • I’ll join in here. I’m being treated for an E.D. Had it since high school but never was noticed or acknowledged till about 1 1/2 years ago, after having my twins and eating raw for a year. Mine is called Orthorexia…some new term for restrictive/obse…
  • I have the exact same routine as kayo. And it works really well. The dr. bronners tea tree oil soap followed by coconut oil. Even my four years old twins use the coconut oil after their showers.

  • Thanks. I do see a homeopath, maybe he can guide me. I was hesitant about the MD route because of antibiotics and such treatments. Though I do agree this does seem to be spreading.
  • I started Monday morning. And I actually have a ton of energy! The only questionable part of this is that my teeth feel really sugary. I’ve brushed them many times today. What’s great is that I’m having no blood sugar issues and the energy. Mentally…
  • that’s why I put “challenge” in quotes. :)
  • Now that spring is here, fruit sounds wonderful. I’ll do a “challenge” with someone. Keep me posted.
  • I recall saying I would only eat raw foods and then I really felt guilty when I ate cooked oatmeal. Mentally, I have to tell myself that it’s ok, that’s why I don’t use a title for how I eat. That’s why I like this site. Some days I’m 100%, some day…
  • I’ve chosen not to call myself “vegan” or a “raw food” person. I’m not 100% raw, don’t really plan on it, but I do choose to eat a healthy way which means organic fruits and veggies (and a lot of them). I don’t so many weird looks, then. Though I do…
  • I decided to stop shampoo just over a week ago. I have really thick hair that is premature gray, but I have covered that up. It’s in a short crop cut so I’m ready to grow out the color and let the natural gray show. I haven’t told anyone what I’m do…
  • I know there are some fruitarian websites. I can’t recall their names, but a quick search should lead to them. I’ve toyed with eating mostly fruits. But of course, listen to your body. If digestion is becoming an issue, consider proper food combinin…

  • I made a wonderful macademia nut pudding and served it in the empty shell. Why don’t you try serving a soup or pudding in it? But that would just be one use not multiple uses. Debbie
  • Hi, Zoe. Trust me, the raw diet gives me energy! But sometimes, the little rush from some cacao nibs or powder…or the yerba mate tea is fun and gets me through a few hours of playing with my three year old twins. :)
    in Green Tea?? Comment by Debbie5125
  • What about Yerba Mate tea? I love it and it gives me soooo much energy without caffeine. It’s really good sweetened with a little agave or raw honey.

  • I checked out the rawreform and juice feast. She looked beautiful and so peaceful. I want to learn more about what she did. It has totally changed my outlook of a juice “fast”. Debbie
    in Juice Fasting Comment by Debbie5125
  • I have limited juice fast experience but I know a bit about it. Be careful with just fruit juices because I know it effects blood sugar a little (but then, there are just orange juice fasts) . I like to make sure I have greens. And lots of celery an…

  • Hi. I can answer this question pretty easily. 1. I’m not 100% raw. I eat brown rice, some tofu and soy milk (not often), sprouted bread, steamed vegetables and once in a while a vegan cookie. 2. I always have this on my grocery list: Fruits: apples,…
  • I just checked out this site. It is great (and I bookmarked it). Congratulations. Debbie
  • I like Renee Loux. She has two books, Living Cuisine (all raw) and The Balanced Plate (part raw, all whole foods). I read these books all the time and have made many, many of the dishes. I love the desserts (of course!)
