  • Thanks BrunetteKet! I'm following your blog now, too. Fruit is a must! bananas are my best friend right now.
    in Going Raw Again Comment by WailingWoman
  • Thanks to you all for reading! This morning, I woke up with energy! After only 1 day! That's the kind of thing that reminds me why it's good for me, but I really need the public forum to keep me going, too! Sillystarfish: I grew that salad in my gar…

  • MMMMM, Sweetpea, thanks. The link has some really delicious-looking stuff on it. That will be really helpful in a couple of weeks! -WW

  • Zinfandel, HI. I’m not waiting around for it, just making a request. Thanks for your support, and have a great day!
    in I'm SOOO bored of my diet! Comment by WailingWoman
  • Durianrider, reading your words, ‘you need to get a life’, I feel hurt and angry because I have a need for warmth, and to be supported. Would you be willing to put your comment into a positive tone?
    in I'm SOOO bored of my diet! Comment by WailingWoman
  • Thanks, everyone, for the comments and ideas. Angie – you may be right that the change to whole foods itself may keep my food boredom at bay. Ungrateful – Wow. I get super cranky when I’m that hungry, and I need massive amounts of patience to handle…
    in I'm SOOO bored of my diet! Comment by WailingWoman
  • As we watched the crowd in Chicago weep tears of joy and hope and healing, my husband brought out two wine glasses and said, “A Toast: Here’s to the fact that our fate is not written. Here’s to a a future where we realize we are citizens not just of…
    in OBAMA WON!!!!! Comment by WailingWoman
  • I know many raw foodies are opposed to nuts, but if you are not, let me put in a plug for almonds. Almonds have so many nutrients, lots of protein, wonderful fat, and a ton of folate (especially good for baby-making). Good luck to you in your pregna…
    in question for people planning on having kids Comment by WailingWoman
  • Oh, and I should mention that at 10 weeks raw, my wieght is almost back to what it was when I was 18! I had gained 20 lbs and then had a baby (another 40 lbs) and even after losing the baby weight I just couldn’t get that 20 lbs off even on a vegan …
    in Greetings from NH Comment by WailingWoman
  • Welcome Tobit! I’m up in Maine, and I’ve been raw for about 10 weeks. Great so far, but the transition can be a little rough, so I think the dehydrator is a great idea because you’ll find you can do more with it than without it, and it really helped…
    in Greetings from NH Comment by WailingWoman
  • I’ve been raw for only about 2 months, but what I tell people right now is, “I’ve just been paying attention to how I feel when I eat certain foods. I’ve found that I really like eating raw foods. I have more energy, and I feel better.” It helps tha…
    in What Do You Tell People About Your Diet? Comment by WailingWoman
  • Feelings are really important sensory signals that let us know when our needs are (or are not) getting met. If you are feeling down, you might find it helps to ask yourself a few questions. Is it fear, anger, sadness, etc? All of those things come f…
    in What do you do for unhappiness? Comment by WailingWoman
  • Oh, and when I say I ‘run cold’ I mean my normal body temp. I usually have a temp of around 97.5. Probably thyroid related, but I would certainly rather use cayenne than synthetic thyroid drugs if I can get away with it.
    in I'm a mess! Any advice? Comment by WailingWoman
  • I have absolutely no credentials in this area, so please know that before I make my suggestion. Have you tried cayenne pepper? I tend to ‘run cold’ like you, and I find that a 1/4 tsp of cayenne in a little apple cider vinegar (just take it like a s…
    in I'm a mess! Any advice? Comment by WailingWoman
  • Sorry you’re still sick.. It sucks. Sorry about the heartache, too. Soul sickness, that is. I know it well. Wishing you a smooth transition out of it and into some new season in life, full of healthy food and healthy love.
    in Food poisoning from gRAWnola? (TMI alert) Comment by WailingWoman
  • Don’t underestimate the power of emotional upheaval on your health as well. Sounds like you may be detoxing in more ways than one? I can’t say if it was the dairy or granola or just an intestinal bug caught by a lack of sleep, but I do think you nee…
    in Food poisoning from gRAWnola? (TMI alert) Comment by WailingWoman
  • Lindsaylou, it’s hard to be the odd one out, especially when you care about their feelings. When you don’t eat their food, it may feel like an insult to them, and if you do, it’s an insult to you. If you don’t eat with them, you miss out on a big pa…
    in Tired of being judged Comment by WailingWoman
  • Bean, my chiropractor said that’s true because of the ratio of phosphorous to calcium in dairy. Don’t know much beyond that. I know people who make their own blueberry and rhubarb wines.
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • It’s funny that this turned into a big discussion over wine and cheese. We forgot all about coffee, the other little poison in my life. I think I’ve found a solution for that, though – warm almond milk with cinnamon and nutmeg. That could really hit…
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • I talked to Our Daily Red…for that particular wine, they filter through thick paper…it’s ‘Tuna Safe’. FYI
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • EEEW! Fish filtering of wine?! That might be enough to turn me off to it. I drink Our Daily Red. It’s an inexpensive organic red with a pretty good flavor. I’ll have to look into the filtering process….yeeeckh.
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • Superfood, I’d love to make my own vegan cheese, I bet it would save me hundreds over the course of a year! Where could I find a good recipe? Would it be considered raw?
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • Oh, I don’t mind the comments rawnora made at all! It’s all said for my benefit. I’m not offended. Like all of us here, I’m just trying to get to the best health possible without sacrificing quality of life. Rawnora sounds like she is living the dre…
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • Thanks, everyone for your views. I love a lively discussion! ;) As to my diet, a typical day starts with fresh mellon or grapefruit, water and/or a smoothie (banana, spirulina, raw apple juice, spinach). I snack on fruit or dried carrot, sweet potat…
    in China Study and raw Vegetarians Comment by WailingWoman
  • I eat all raw, but I include raw honey, milk and cheese – for now, anyway.
    in Helloooo Vegetarians/Vegans Comment by WailingWoman
  • my dentist said that an all-raw diet would be great for my teeth. I wonder if you’re getting enough vitamin C? It’s actually very important for healthy teeth, so I am told. Another thing I heard from my chiropractor (who is very anti-dairy) is that …
    in notcicing my teeth are becoming see through Comment by WailingWoman
  • I think you handled it beautifully. You said you feel great, and you didn’t go on the attack. If you want to have ‘ammunition’ to counter their arguments in the future, you could find the most comprehensive book on the subject and give it to them, b…
    in The worst raw-food confrontation I've ever had Comment by WailingWoman
  • I think that the Green/Intependent party may be the most likely to embrace the interconnectedness of business, environment and society, but I believe they need to get past the reputation for being a one-issue group. In general, conservatives focus o…
    in Green Party/Indepenant Parties Comment by WailingWoman
  • Sexyraw, is there any chance you’re pregnant? Just a thought. The other thing to consider is along the lines of the 80/10/10 diet (which I am not doing, but have read about). Are you eating lots of nuts or coconut oil? Avocados and bananas? One othe…
    in gaining weight!! Comment by WailingWoman
  • Thanks, everyone. It makes sense that most of the nutritional value is saved, but most of the energy is lost. I know that when that molecules freeze they form crystals, and the cell walls are often broken, which is why they are so limp and slimy whe…
