• Skin breakouts were definitely part of my experience, especially on my temples but also it odd places. Being really tired, splitting headaches. And they may also come in phases as you go deeper. In the book Raw Success Matt Monarch says that a 100% …

• I’m with Bitt on the Bunny Berry blog. She’s at the end of her 100 day raw food challenge and she’s been incredibly honest about the daily challenges. She’s invited anyone to join her for the next hundred days if you check her blog, she’s created an…

• Hey tamisha, I’m still learning too and it’s been a year of raw with lots of slips and slides. I wish I had read Matt Monarch’s book, Raw Success, a year ago (I read the entire thing today) for the one simple lesson that it’s best to make slight cha…

• I don’t know how to say this delicately – smoothies?? I discovered some TINY bugs on my kale, might be scale, hardly bug-like, but bugs all the same and they were really hard to wash off, so I remembered a comment David Wolfe said in a video about a…

• No, you’re right. If you compare Trader Joe’s raw almond butter, which I used to use, with Artisana or Better than Roasted, which is also made with really raw almonds the flavor is much stronger. For even more proof – if you eat raw valencia or any …

• You’d probably have the best luck in Maine, definitely have a stop in! The spicy cilantro salad is my favorite and has no dairy. Keep in mind it’s not a raw restaurant. Sounds like lovely places to be!

• lzhpt – aaahhhh! Not that I was tempted. Aziah – we have healthy fast food here, we’re so lucky!! It’s a chain called O’Naturals, it’s in Massachusetts and Maine and they have sandwiches, salads, soups and pizza with mostly organic ingredients, ever…

• I went to a McDonald’s for the first time in many years a few months ago to get an organic coffee out of desperation for a long drive. When I went up to the counter instead of to the bathroom my daughter said, “Mom, what are you doing???” She spotte…

• Ok, hot day, put on the baking soda in the morning and now at 9:15 I’m fairly fresh, was actually really fresh until dinnertime, that’s pretty cool. Did nothing to keep me dry but dealt with the stink. RawSarah – it’s the straight essential oil. I h…

• Here’s a video I found last night for the “best natural deoderant ever” which is along the lines of beepsand clicks’ recipe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcbqjEm0Eho It’s just baking soda. I like the video, it’s very convincing with a little demon…

• Same here!! I asked my ob-gyn if it was hormonal so she tested me – no problems. So I’ve gone old school with patchouli, now I know what it’s for! I was surprised how many people love it.

• Hey ori – I used to have to order more but my health food store has caught on to the movement. I have ordered nori and oats from www.alissacohen.com since they seem to be the only raw rolled oats I’ve come across. The shipments from Alissa always co…

• Hey mellie-bellie – I can’t believe you’ve mastered juicing, smoothies, flax crackers and nori rolls in a week! You’re doing great! I can’t say I eat less often, but our meals are quite small compared to our old cooked meals. My husband has gotten u…

• I’m going to say it fermented (?!) Good to know as I’m about to try, but I’m going to use the dry unhulled seeds. I saw your almond butter comments so thank you for blazing the trail for me! I love the Better Than Roasted nut butters but I could eat…
