  • Thank you, it's good to be here!
    in Hi, I am back for good this time! Comment by rawmaiden
  • Thanks for your suggestion rawfoodgoddess! I seem to be leaning more and more towards the vita-mix 5200 and I do need the variable speed, just wish it wasn't so darn expensive though : ( I've noticed not many are being sold as used on Ebay either, w…

  • Yummmm......apples are best this time of year, especially here in NY. I just cut them up, add some walnuts, coconut, pecans, goji berries, agave nectar, some cinnamon and just eat it in a bowl....it is sooo goood. Check out some of the apple pie rec…

  • Hi Beautydoll, Welcome! As far as dehydrators go, there are many good ones out there, you don't necessarily need to go with an Excalibur which are expensive. I got a maxi-matic 5 tray on Amazon.com for around 35 dollars and it works fantastic! Excal…

  • Hi Pianissima, I am not completely raw, but struggling to do so…I live in NYC and cannot attend a school in Florida, even if it’s just 9 weeks…I need something local. Thanks..

  • Another idea for people concerned about the container’s toxicity can order the new container (the 5200) for $129.00 but I am wondering if it would fit on the older vitamix models? anyone know? its an idea for those who already have a vitamix or you …
    in Choosing the right blender (HELP) Comment by rawmaiden
  • Dear Eliana and Graham, I wouldn’t worry too much about the Bisphenol A since the chemical leaches out only when heated. For those who can afford it, Vita mix make a new blender with a safe container, the 5200 model. You can read the specifics at th…

  • Yes, I have three cats, ages 17, 13 and 2 yrs. old. They all eat raw chicken with bones, steak, fish, etc.. and prefer it. I do still feed them commercial when I can’t provide raw, but it is top of the line food, not the 9 lives that’s for sure, I t…

    in Foods good for depression Comment by rawmaiden
  • Thanks Jenny, that sounds like good advice, and to listen more to my body. I am now looking into purchasing a dehydrator and looking for an older vita mix blender (the kind with the stainless steel container) since plastic ones scare me a bit, and t…

  • You know I really miss my greenmarket, closed during winter..I live in the northeast (NYC) and it’s hard finding organic products that are reasonably priced and fresh. I do belong to a co-op but we only get a box every two weeks and it’s potluck, bu…

  • Thanks so much guys for all the great suggestions. Yes, Yoga, I have been wanting to take a class for a long time, maybe I will do that.

  • Thanks Chilove and 123. Glad to know that just being raw will help and also anxiety which I also suffer from. Chilove I was reading your bio and noticed that you suffered from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, both of which i have been diagnosed. Th…

  • So nice to know that some of you guys also don’t believe in conventional holidays, I haven’t for moral reasons and consumerism too. And Valentines day always turned me off, plus Thanksgiving (horrible) and the good ol’ fantasy of Santa Clause….geese…

  • Hey everyone – I’m in Staten Island, NYC (the forgotten borough) Wishing I was out west somewhere,....hhmmmm, I can dream of the warmth….someday…..Oh and it’s 9:21pm eastern time.
    in What State/Country are you in? Comment by rawmaiden
  • Thank you!!! I did try the search and for some reason came up empty each time, maybe it was website problems? who knows…but thanks, when I get the papaya I will do this and let you know.

  • Hi purebeaut, it all depends on how many you are feeding. if it’s just you, you may be able to manage well if you are taking from the gardens and depends what you are getting from the gardens as well. Have you thought of a co-op or csa? and get what…
    in preparation for going raw...? Comment by rawmaiden
  • Wow, thanks everyone for their great advice. I will have to take it slow since I have been using whey protein and do eat organic milk and cheese which I plan on taking out of my diet anyway, and on occasion I do eat some fish. So I guess I will do w…
    in Detox, juice fasting Comment by rawmaiden
  • Oh, found out whey protein is no good for you. I found a great website for hemp protein powder (organic) at a great price, 16 oz. for around $10.00 it is the Nutiva brand.http://www.livingnutritionals.com/index.php?cPa… I will order some and use tha…

  • Thanks queenfluff, for the info on the raw agave, I couldn’t find any that were raw. I still like to use the agave, because of the milder taste compared to the yucon. I love to use agave in my sun teas : )
    in Yacon syrup, truly raw sweetner Comment by rawmaiden
  • I have bought a few kinds of Yacon, the one I like is expensive though, from natural zing, it has a very fruity taste, kind of like a blend of honey with molasses and citrus. I love it. Other brands taste similar to molasses but not as strong or bit…

    in weight loss question Comment by rawmaiden
  • Thanks everyone about the avacado’s. It makes sense because I read that you cannot lose fat without taking in fat (the good fat that is). I have been raw for over a week and my skin is already looking great too.

  • Thanks guys, that is really encouraging news and a great motivator to keep me to my goals, thank you, thank you!
