• Simplyraw- If you have a juicer, drink some beet juice. Victoria stated that in Russia that was how they determined if you were deficient or not in HCL. If you see it coming through-not enough! I also take HCL and whenI don’t take it, the toilet wat…

• I think the nutrients lost to oxidation would be pretty insignificant. I have to make my juices from almost all greens and nonsweet fruits because of blood sugar. Mostly though I use the vita-mix. I just can’t bear the thought of throwing away all o…

• I also have the same problem. Mine started receeding in my early 20’s and seemed to stabilize by my late 20’s/early 30’s. My sis-in-law is a hygienist and said it was partly genetic but my diet was also horrible until my late20’s/early 30’s. This su…

• I am not measuring now like I used to. If my weight goes up or I stop losing I will get militant about it again. On caloriecount.about.com they have a recipe calculator that will calculate everything. I am trying to eat fairly small amounts of the n…

• If you happen to be low on vit. C you would bruise easily. Hard to believe that could happen on a raw diet high in fruits and veggies though. If you supplement a lot with omega 3’s, you blood will “thin” I know if you take fish oil supplements you a…

  in Juice Fast Comment by deborahann
• Unfortunately I’ve never had it but I hear it tastes really bad if you are not used to it. What about starting out with really small amounts and working up as you develop a tolerance for the taste? Have you ever heard of anyone vitamixing it into th…

• Are grocery store seeds good enough or go for a sundried brand?

  in Raw Mustard Comment by deborahann
• Thanks for the info, Queenfluff. I really like the spicy brown and horseradish types for wraps and dipping. The spicy brown is best for dressings, I think. I’ll have to play around with that.

• How much pumpkin and do you get the little ones or just use the larger ones that everyone carves? I have a few butternut squash that would probably work, too.

• Can you use any of the berries? They are low glycemic even though they are a fruit. I make a good green smoothie that comes out to about a qt. and has 1 cup frozen mixed berries in the whole thing. I am currently drinking this every day and in a few…

• Oops, I forgot! I found some great nutritional info in “Green for Life” by Victoria Boutenko and “Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine” by Gabriel Cousens, MD. I will probably get “Conscious Eating” by him, too.

• I think it’s the dashes. It’s done that to me before and when I removed them, they went away. I can really relate to this thread! I am also an overeater, but mostly just at lunch. I am really overdoing it with nuts. With stress eating I’m OK if I ca…

• I just ordered from Livingtreecommunity and it is raw. They slice and make a slurry and then centifuge so it is never heated(see their website). I will check out Renoir’s suggestion and try that one next time. Too much oil or any kind of fat isn’t g…
