  • Yes, I think that local health food shops are the best places to check. I'm slowly seeing more and more raw products appear the shelves in shops near me but I still have to order a lot of specialist items (chia seeds, raw nuts etc.) online. I really…

  • Thank you, I'm going to try it today with some banana and chopped coconut.

  • Thank you Suasoria. I always enjoy reading what you have to say.
    in How Important is Organic Food to you? Comment by violet Deleted
  • Thank you all for the wealth of responses and especially to Happy Raw Girl for you long and insightful reply. I really do still feel that organic food will be better for my body (although my boyfriend disputes this) so I will continue to buy organic…

  • I love to have a simple base for a salad and add different combinations of fresh herbs. A mixture of greens, lots of herbs, lemon juice, cold pressed olive oil, avocado, perhaps a few almonds... that's my perfect salad.

  • ^ hear, hear!

  • Thank you for your advice, I'm going to see if there are any Asian supermarkets around here. Would substituting regular coconut be out of the question? I'm guessing it's the difference in texture of the flesh which is the problem.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one!

  • I love this idea. Today I made an iced tea with a splash of lemon and used apple juice as the sweetener. I will have to try a tea smoothie.

  • I stopped the challenge after about 1 week because I don't feel that it is right for me, I didn't like the restriction of labeling myself as 100% raw and prefer to trust myself to make the right food decisions as they are presented to me. I eat all …

  • ^ I'm definitely making that shake. Thank you for the recipe. Today, I ate a fig and then a green tea and threw up. Has anyone else had this experience with tea? I have been sick from drinking tea before, usually when on an empty stomach. Then to se…

  • :) everybody is doing so well. I was having an yummy food day yesterday. I drank lots of water in the morning. Then I made a cucumber carpaccio with balsamic figs (from Russell James' e-book) served with an almond pate. I drank some hazelnut milk an…

  • Perhaps you could take extra raw snacks to work with you so you're not so tempted by the snack bins.

  • ^ I think the best thing you can do is forget it ever happened and carry on as normal - it seems like you eat wonderfully most of the time. I had a really bad day last week where I ate so much cheese and spelt bread and then almost 100g of dark choc…

  • ^ oh dear I can see potatoes and red cabbage going into the oven, it's not fair why did we have to have a big cooked family meal today when I'm trying to stay raw :(

  • I am jealous of all of the fruit being consumed. I was going to start my month of 100% raw with a water fast to give my body a break and I have done one day so far. It was surprisingly easy and I really enjoyed getting lots of work done without the …

  • AVL - People at work are always buying me chocolate and biscuits, it is sweet but I wish they wouldn't. They always read the ingredients to me because they know I'm fussy but even though I don't want to eat any of those ingredients I always feel bad…

  • I'd love to join in but I have a birthday meal to go to tomorrow which will probably involve bread and cheese, so I'm going to join late (on the third) if that's okay.

  • I remember after drinking my first blended salad my whole body felt like it was singing with happiness.
    in Raw food and feeling STUPID good. Comment by violet Deleted
  • Thank you for that, I don't think I'll ever look at my BMI again. Weighing oneself at all is a bit silly as it depends on so many different factors. Looking in the mirror seems by far to be the better option.
    in What's your BMI? Comment by violet Deleted
  • Yes, I might start using seeds in place of nuts. I never realy plan what I'm going to eat too far in advance and often don't have time to soak. Thank you for all the tips.
    in No raw after 4 Comment by violet Deleted
  • aww, thank you all for your responses. I think I do need to be more careful about my food combinations and start soaking nuts. Why are fruit and nuts not a good mix? Is it for a similar reason to that stated above, that the fruit will sit on top of …

  • I used to have kidney problems as a child. Perhaps I should go and get a check-up. Mmm, I love cucumber and celery. Sometime I do eat juicy fruits instead of having a glass of water.

  • I have been a vegetarian for most of my life, originally for moral reasons, but moral and health reasons aside eating meat to me now seems like a really odd thing to do. Perhaps it's because I've never really done it but I can't ever imagine having …
