• I don’t feel sick, I just get hungry 30 min later and I mean really hungry! and it doesn’t matter how much of the fruit I ate because I’ve tried it both ways. It just doesn’t satisfy by itself,but I think this is just my metabolism. We are all diffe…

• Thank You. I aim to get 0.5 to 1 oz. every other day or so. I am still trying to figure out how much grass to grow to keep me at 1 oz. per day. I’ll have to figure how much to grow at 1 time and how often to start new trays. I’m using soil now but I…

• Try juicing and if you are fasting, it is recommended to strain the juice. This will provide a variety of nutrients if you vary what you juice so that you don’t run into deficiencies eating only 1 meal per day. You may want to add in some flax oil i…

  in Fasting Comment by deborahann
• I highly recommend the soapstone stove! It’s our only source of heat and although it looks pretty small, it’ll burn 8-12 hrs easy with a good solid wood. When it is frigid outside, it helps to keep it burning hard but I wouldn’t trade this baby for …

• As long as the alfalfa sprouts are good and green, they are fine. As far as the buckwheat- It would be like eating a soaked seed, I imagine. Sprouting develops the extras like enzymes and other nutriests. Rawgirl1976- Popcorn should sprout as long a…
