  • I'm having the exact same problem. I'm completely raw, but haven't been losing weight. (I'm around 195 lbs and 5'8", so there's definately some to lose!) I'm actually gaining. It's frustrating. Good luck!
  • I've made the coconut wrappers a handful of times. Tasty! But certainly take care to spread EVENLY. Super important. Good luck!
  • Feel free to email me (contact@emilysrawfoods.com) and I will surely share the handout with you! I generally do 6-8 things, with a couple being SUPER easy, like a smoothie in a 2-2/12 hour period. So what you're planning sounds right to me. ;) For m…
  • I teach raw classes in my area. I wanted to introduce people to all the methods commonly seen in raw food preparation. Juicing: carrot, apple, ginger Sprouting/Dehydrating: Grawnola Soaking: Almond milk Smoothie: Berry & greens I then made a wra…
  • Awesome! My whole family has a stuffed up nose, and I just have a tiny bit of a drip. I suspected this may be because of my raw diet. I'm very raw and don't eat milk or dairy. Yahoo!

  • I agree with both the other comments as well. I like to plan, but need to be flexible.Sometimes things go bad faster than you expect, so you need to use them. Improvise a bit. I also make sure to change up what I'm eating every week. It's easy to ge…
  • I keep some things around ALL the time. Dates (for sweet cravings) Bananas (to grab something quickly and time of day) lettuce or greens of some sort ( a salad is ALWAY good) seaweed (I eat sea veggies alot) raw crackers or chips (for the munchies) …

    in Avocados Comment by emilyjayne
  • I also tried those big ones. I found the flavor a tad more fruity, and perhaps a little more bland. Unlike the little guys though, they give me headaches. :( So, no more of those. But I did enjoy them for different flavor reasons than their smaller …

  • I'm glad I came across this thread. I've been trying to monitor less fats and was thinking the same thing. Some good ideas here!
  • Thanks for bringing this up. I won't get too into it, but it's something that has crossed my mind as well. The emotions seems to take over at times. Good luck to everyone! I will watch this post and see what you all have to offer on the subject. ;)

  • Here's a great creamsicle idea from matthew kenney's everyday raw: zest of 6 oranges 1/4 cup agave 1 1/2 cups young coconut meat 1 cup coconut water 1/2 cup agave 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 1 vanilla bean scraped, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pinc…
  • Glad I'm not the only one! I've made it with almond butter a few times, and far LESS, and that has been alright. Give that a whirl.
  • Thank you all for your input! pixx: I've noticed I break out too. Not terribly though, but it's annoying - kinda like poison ivy. I thought it was my lupus perhaps... Now that I'm almost completely raw, I'm SO MUCH more sensitive to cashews. Twitch:…
  • Oh thanks for all the comments and ideas. I've naturally been avoiding cashews and nuts in general. My body just seems to be telling me so. I eat crazy amounts of fruit though and am concerned about that... I try and balance with veggies. I used to …
  • I checked out the link and it says the seeds are removed. But I'm sure it's not dehydrated on a low temp...? I have heard that seeded fruits (non hybrids) are the best for you too and have gotten into heirloom gardening for just this reason. I run m…
  • Bummer. I was hoping there was a reply! :) I just bought some seeded grapes and intend to dehydrate them myself. Good luck in the search!
  • Holy crap! It's an awesome book and certainly challenges my ideas about raw foods and tests my skills as a chef. I'm so looking forward to making the recipes. Definately an ADVANCED raw cookbook. Awesome ideas though!
  • I bought it. It's at the post office as I speak and I'll pick it up tomorrow. I love his everyday raw. I use that every day! I have almost all the raw cookbooks too. Definately one of my favs. I'll let you know tomorrow how the "entertaining "is!
  • Thanks for the encouragement! I hope one day I can eat avocados with no side effects. I love the taste of onions in things. Raw onions took a little getting used to for the most part, but now they make me have acid reflux or something. I've never ha…
  • It's a dull ache headache. No migranes yet. Thanks for the ideas. I have reacted to almost all of the foods you listed (on a SAD:) aged cheeses, coffee, wine, nitrates, msg, alcohol. Before going raw, I had gotten rid of the migranes by eliminating …
  • Hey there! I offer raw foods classes in the Duluth, MN area. I agree that having a support system is key! I'm a raw foodie myself and have been through the many ups and downs. Www.EmilysRawFoods.com Feel free to email me! Good luck and good health! …
  • check out david wolfe's sunfood diet system book. It's awesome a gets into that quite a bit. I have learned that my stomach growling is more a result of the SAD. It doesn't really do it when I'm raw. Mostly my cravings are from boredm at this point.…
    in Hunger Question Comment by emilyjayne
  • I suppose I'm not feeling the heat off of mine in a major way (like being able to turn down the heat) because it's always cold in northern MN, and I dehyrator certainly isn't an approved method of heating your house. :) I fill up all 10 trays all th…
  • Mine puts out heat. I live in Northern MN and I have really liked going over by the dehydrator and feeling a little heat this winter. :) I will admit it won't warm you up... My house is 50 degrees some mornings, but I CAN tell there's a little heat …
  • I was fortunate enough to inherit my parents harvest maid from the seventies. It's a 10 tray style and works wonderfully. I have also tried out the small circular units and don't really like them, after using the tray version. (an excallaber would b…

    in Fruitarianism Comment by emilyjayne
  • I bought a package from naturalzing.com and tried them out for the first time. I put raw pesto spread (fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, sea salt) on top and LOVED them. I liked the crunch a bunch! ;)
    in Kelp Noodles Comment by emilyjayne
  • I like to use it with citrus drinks, especially grapefruit. Add a litte agave if you like. The citrus flavor is intense enough, that you don't taste green. It's a great novelty for the kids to drink black orange juice. :) It's great with berry smoot…
    in Spirulina Comment by emilyjayne
  • Ooh yeah. SOME of them are all raw. You need to read the label, of course!
