• amen about the wind. It’s brutal. I think tonight here in KC it’s gonna be 24°! I’m not ready for it! What I do is put dead sea salt(generously) and a scoop of coconut oil and a dash of lavender essential oil. It smells good, soothes and makes you s…

  in Juice or smoothie to start the morning? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I’ve always been told that it’s caused by stress/nervousness and since I went raw I’ve been able to deal with stress way better and I feel like my body is balanced. Maybe that has something to do with you quitting. By the way, that’s really awesome!…

• You should probably use more puree and dehydrate a little shorter

  in Fruit leathers "cracking" Comment by troublesjustabubble
• hmm, I’ve only lost weight but have a couple suggestions. If you don’t feel full from veggies but are eating to many seeds and nuts I’d suggest making a large salad and including all the veggies and for a dressing use Zoe’s Spring Onion Seed cheese …

  in Is anyone gaining weight? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• yeah, it’s a touchy subject. With my friends and family they all knew as I began my journey because I had been searching for so long for something to help me. They’ve seen my transformation and are open to it. My co-workers and anyone else(acquainta…

• I agree with Zoe, you don’t need fish if you eat plenty of flax and pumpkin seeds.

  in major concerns about going 100% Comment by troublesjustabubble
• yeah, make sure they know you know they aren’t raw. I get a little irritated when something says raw and it isn’t. That is why right now I’m doing 100% raw and just to be safe and make sure that I’m really 100% I’m skipping out on all the coconut, o…

• I honestly think that it’s an ignorance is bliss situation. I mean, if you think about it, when the bugs can’t take the food then MAYBE there’s something wrong with it! What makes them think our bodies can handle it? I get really mad when I think ab…

• I used to obsessively chew gum before I was raw but it was mostly because I was constantly worried about my breath and that my teeth would get yellow. Well with raw I never have bad breath and I oil pull so my teeth are whiter than ever!

  in Raw Gum? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Hey there caveman. I think it’s great that you’re willing to evolve in your diet and that you’re feeling good! I’m just now coming up on my six month anniversary of raw as well and am feeling great too. Right now I’m doing a four week 100% (which me…

  in Too Much Fat Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I know about the blood type diet but like worley said, it’s all about listening to your body. In that particular diet you’re supposed to eat exactly what your body needs according to your blood type. The great thing about raw is that when you’re raw…

• I have a friend who suffers from something for years she thought was severe acid reflux(turns out it’s something to do with her stomach and digestive system). She’s not raw but very open natural remedies. She recently got some aloe vera juice and li…

• Tomsmom-I’m sure this is a silly question that I should already know but how do you use your juicer to make tahini? I really want to make it but have never known how and I have a great juicer. It does well with greens so hopefully it’ll be able to m…

  in Juicer Comment by troublesjustabubble
• springleaf-haha, I chew them but the chewed pieces come out perfectly intact. They aren’t broken down at all by my stomach acid or digestive enzymes. So I don’t think I get much out of them nutrition wise.

  in trouble digesting raw bread Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I have trouble with nuts but no problem with sunflower or flax seed. They never bother me at all. Nuts just seem to make me feel weird and bloated and then when they, ahem, come out the other side they’re perfectly intact. So, I think I can’t digest…

  in trouble digesting raw bread Comment by troublesjustabubble
• It’s waaaay better to be raw even if it isn’t organic than to eat processed food. Organic is preferable of course though. I also have trouble finding alot of organic produce. I can easily find all the organic seeds, oils, etc. online. Also, if you l…

• haha I agree TOL. I actually read that the longer you store your nuts the more toxic they become. I don’t eat nuts really so I didn’t pay close attention to why it was they did that but just a heads up….don’t store to long.

  in PMS Migraine Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I used to get migraines in the worst way. It was related to dairy(I was thirteen at the time and eating SAD) and when I cut out dairy I didn’t have so much of a problem. Now I get a migraine about once a year and it’s always during my period and usu…

• I don’t know of any professionals for you but a great way to start fresh and slowly find out what you need/don’t need is to do a juice fast and then bring in one thing at a time. Not sure if that helps but it really worked for me and I came into raw…

  in raw nutritionist Comment by troublesjustabubble
• aylee-nope, no links, just trial and error. It really helps get the excess salt and toxic fat out of your system and then it’s ready for a lovely low key combination of all the good raw stuff that’s out there!

  in WHY FATS AND SODIUM! Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Your body could be detoxing. When I first detoxed and again when I did a six day water fast I craved all the worst things from pizza to sloppy joes and it was because my body was losing the toxic fat built up in my body from when I ate those things.…

  in WHY FATS AND SODIUM! Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I just don’t care for them but I think the general consensus is that they aren’t really raw(there are laws requiring them to be pasturized) and they’re a bit rich. So if you’re enjoying them go ahead! Keep munching! But if you’re wanting to be highe…

  in NUTS Comment by troublesjustabubble
• That definitely helps alot! Okay, first of all you, like me, have not nearly enough calories during the day. To help remedy this I began drinking a smoothie in the morning with a table spoon or two of coconut oil(helps in weight loss and adds good c…

  in concerned newbie Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Could you post what your normal diet for a day is? There are many things that could contribute. Also, it took me about six weeks to finish detoxing. So you may have a bit more to go. I remember being very tired and dull for the first month and a hal…

• I struggle with this too. My friends and family and co-workers know about my lifestyle so they work with me. At work I eat NONE of the doughnuts, bagels, bbq and such that are served often. At home I’m 100% and with family I am still able to be 75% …
