• Wow, I noticed a lot of people aren’t getting enough calories. 1000 calories and below is considered a starvation diet. The brain and body need more than 1k to function properly… anything other than that and there is going to be defeciency problems.…

• Table salt has been linked to osteoporosis jgfergus??? Jeeze, I had not heard that one yet. How depressing. What about salt rocks from the sea??? What’s your take on that? We do need sodium, especially for electrolyte balance but we don’t need crap …

  in Salt Comment by TheRawDance
• For a LONG time I went without adding salt to anything. I developed a phobia of it and felt that if I ate food with sodium added or if I added sodium then I would bloat up and burst. Yes, fears can get this intense if you give them the power to do s…

• I had this same problem on Sunday, major disappointment, couldn’t masticate it properly for the life of me. I guess I made it too thick, queenfluff is the queen of raw secrets in the kitchen. Next time, I’m marinating mine longer and slicing it thin…

• Mmmm dates are my favorite. I have seen some dried and rolled in oat flour. I have also seen fresh ones rolled in oat flour with coconut. Floured dates? They are perfect in their natural state. They are wonderful stuffed with walnuts or coconut but …

• It sounds like the typical symptoms with bi polar disorder. I have read that MACA helps with mental health issues. Has anyone hear used it for this? I am going to buy some this week and try it. Doesn’t hurt to try. I have tried herbs but they didn’t…

• I always recommend fresh medjool dates and dried fruits that are untreated for sugar cravings … goji berries, mulberries, raisins, figs, turkish apricots are all wonderful alone or mixed with nuts and seeds for raw cereals or trail mixes. Hemp seeds…

  in Any ideas? Comment by TheRawDance
• From what I read, it doesn’t sound like you are getting far that amount of protein that you should. I see a lot of people go raw without nutritional guidance as to how to balance their nutrient intake. The diet must be balanced and it can effectivel…

• 100% but I transitioned to raw right before my 23rd birthday and it took time to get to 100%. The more I experienced the healing powers of raw, the more I wanted to keep getting closer to 100% and the easier it was on my body to adapt by doing it gr…

  in nutritonal yeast-how bad is it? Comment by TheRawDance
• This is a good topic. I have never used it due to fear that it will cause a yeast overgrowth in the body as it digests and absorbs into the system. I have read this happens and that was enough to get me to NOT use it. People have mixed reactions on …

• I love juicing my potatoes… must mix them with other things though as they are very strong on their own. If you juice them, make sure you stir all the stuff at the bottom! There is so much potassium in the area around the peel, wonderful food.

• beany because the piece was on orthorexia not weight loss or raw foodism, its sad that a topic on a disease that can and will kill was tied into dietary lifestyles – including raw – and that viewers did not get the correct message across : (
