• Marichiesa – Glad to be of service! :) The tension in my neck would be best described as a pulled muscle… or maybe a crick in the neck when you sleep the wrong way… but still different. Hard to describe. Interesting to hear about your strep. I do kn…

• el-bo – Indeed. Sea salt was my best friend in almost every recipe I ate along with Dulse right out of the bag. I was amazed at the retention of water also. I also felt like several other people on here thinking “this can’t be right…” because I felt…

• pianissima – I started to break out also (and still am). Apparently fruits cleanse much faster than vegetables. The left and right side of my neck tightened up severely (seems that’s my area of detox) which followed by pustules in those exact areas …

• Pianissima – I felt exactly the same way you are describing… and nearly gave it up. My legs and arms felt really weak in the joint areas and at times it felt like a struggle just to get out of bed. My performance in the gym when lifting weights plum…

• I weight train regularly but also thoroughly workout in nature. My performance since starting 811rv has absolutely surpassed anything I ever did on cooked or high-fat raw. People stare at me at the gym partly I’m sure at my performance and partly be…

• Hello all. :) In agreement with el-bo, the body will never do anything to intentionally harm or destroy itself. It is most complex and highly intelligent. I encourage anyone who is concerned about breakouts or how they are generally feeling on 811rv…

• That is so awesome! I would be a little concerned due to the hard, thickness of the seed that I’d burn up my vita-mix… what do you think?

• I have experienced it… and I have indulged. I would not suggest it. Your body gets addicted WAY easier and faster than it takes to kick the habit. So, one candy bar could spiral you out of control for a bit (did me). You’ve done great for 4 months –…

• ilikeitraw – From what I’ve read every cell in your body dies and is replaced every 90 days. While I felt much better after about a month, I was still very weak and at times quite irritable. When I hit the 3 month point as kminty3 just said is when …

• Totally agree! Kale is definitely one of my favs but I’m also a huge fan of parsley. It seems to mellow me out as I’m drinking it especially if I”m stressed or up tight. :)

  in Only want greens... Comment by seize
• immaga – I had thought of that theory as well. I guess that is a pretty good assumption. Here recently I did notice that my fingernails are growing at an alarming rate! I also have a pull up bar and find myself every 10 minutes or so doing pull ups.…

  in Only want greens... Comment by seize
• willow – do you ingest an adequate amount of greens? (smoothies, soups, etc.)? They are an amazing source of protein. Highly suggested if you aren’t already. :) I drink between 1-2 quarts of green smoothies a day and am able to maintain a healthy we…

• Keep a journal. I found this to be very helpful and beneficial to learning about myself at the same time. I kept a little notepad in my back pocket and I’d write down every cooked food I craved during the day and what it was I ate raw to prevent tha…

  in Hungry and full at the same time? Comment by seize
• I have had the same experience you are describing. My resolution to the problem was that I was not ingesting enough healthy fat. Try eating a handful of germinated almonds or a 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds as an experiment to see if that resolves your…

• Worley – I purchased Power4 last week by Genesis Now (same company that puts out goji100) and it is an absolutely amazing product! I already felt awesome but now I’m in a giddy mood all day! The Power4 includes Goji, Noni, Acai and Mangosteen. I can…

• Worley… how much Goji berry juice would you say in a day? Interesting that it helps with the moods; do you know why that is? Just curious. :)

• I’m also less hungry… my body just feels more content. That, in itself is sometimes a frustrating thing since I’m trying to gain weight and need more calories… and to have my body say “No no.. no more food.” Perhaps it’s my body’s way of saying, “Yo…

• I don’t know exactly why; however, going for a walk, doing sit ups, push ups or any type of physical activity always seems to curb my cravings for bad food. After the workout my body seems to change its cravings to raw foods, usually fruit to give i…

  in Why do we get cravings? Comment by seize
• That’s entirely normal. It’s your body’s way of detoxifying itself. In fact it may even get worse before it gets better. I, myself suffered from cystic acne most of my adult life and when initially going raw it got SEVERE for about 2 months and then…

• I guess I look at ‘evidence’ on a more simple approach. What would happen if we, as humans were heated up beyond 118 F ? Our cells would fry, be destroyed and no longer ‘worth’ anything. I try and relate that same principal to food. If excessive hea…
