• Yes! I was hoping coconut oil was good. I really hate using moisturizers since they’re so freaking full of chemicals. I’m going to get some oil as soon as I can. sky-where do you get liquid vitamin E? That sounds like an amazing cream!

• I no longer use facewash! I just use water. The skin on my face was getting smoother and prettier so I slowly stopped using it and now it’s amazing. I’m trying to start getting away from moisturizers too but am not quite there yet. Is coconut oil a …

• oh yeah! The spring onion seed cheese that Zoe posted on here is a really good hummus substitute. I made it for my non raw family and they all thought it was hummus! It’s amazing with tomatoes

• haha brawyn32, I totally see your point. The main problem with me is that I LOVE to cook. It was my passion before raw and I still enjoy it alot. Of course my husband offers to do stuff in the kitchen for me but quite frankly that’s my domain and I …

• I don’t know why it doesn’t take much to feed me. I’m average size (130lbs at 5’5”). Maybe because I drink TONS of water. I feel satisfied after a plum for literally three hours. I’m curious, did you guys have any digestive issues in the past? I str…

• I also cook food for my husband and it’s easy now. At first it was hard to do both but now I just prepare a salad and then dinner just as if it was a part of dinner (It is since I give my husband some salad too). So no extra time there:)

• I agree with ikn. I juice rarely and only when I just need to keep my digestion from working to hard. My day generally goes like this….. breakfast:a piece of fruit that doesn’t require peeling snack:a piece of fruit Lunch:a piece of fruit(see a patt…

• ahem, well, how can I put this delicately…....YES! It happened when my terribly stopped up bowels began moving on their own again. I have to say, despite how disgusting this sounds, I rather enjoyed the whole experience. hehe

  in Slightly embarrassing/funny detox question... Comment by troublesjustabubble
• the_eternal_voyageur-I wouldn’t worry about all the protein. Just get plenty of greens and you’ll be fine. You don’t need as much protein as they say out there but you do need it and it’s easy to get without nuts and avocados.

• Thank you jellibi. I’m so sorry that you had to go through what you went through. It must have been really really hard. I know what it’s like to lose someone very close and it’s worse when there is suffering. Feel better though because you know your…

• jellibi and branwyn, I think I owe another apology. I’m so sorry that I acted like I was in a “privileged box” and acted like insurance wasn’t a big deal or the system wasn’t screwed up. Both of your stories are so hard for me to hear and not be hea…

• hmmm, I apologize for assuming. But I do want to say that my peace of mind is the same as the peace of mind when I buy a weeks worth of groceries. I know that I’m not going to have to think about running out of food for a week. It’s not because I’m …

  in Health insurance Comment by troublesjustabubble
• whoa whoa, I have to totally disagree in a loving way with you jellibi. My husband and I pay only $150 a month on health insurance and what we save on prescriptions alone makes it worth it not to mention if something bad happens. I understand your s…

• Medical expenses scare the hell out of me. I just try to stay accident free but it doesn’t matter because random things always happen to me (I walk out of my house and sprain my ankle on the stair) and boom, that’s $2000 dollars to walk into the ER …

  in How raw are you? Comment by troublesjustabubble

• Heyenglish-I’m getting a dehydrator for my birthday too! Which also happens to be in November. I’m hoping to be able to do alot of breads and things like that so I can have something to eat beside the sparce fresh foods.

• have-mersey, I’ve only been raw since May and I’m hoping that this winter I can fare the hardships. I have cut up and frozen a lot of fresh berries and fruits so that when all else fails at least I can have raw smoothies and maybe even live off them…

• I try to be 100% but I’m more like 96%. I’m feeling really crappy right now because I had some awful food this weekend. I learned my lesson…..again. I definitely feel best at 100%. I eat about one cooked meal a week though, it never fails.
