• I’ve been including kale in all my salads and I have to chop it really really tiny so that it’s easier to eat. Is it just me or is it extremely fibrous and tough? I eat only fruit during the day and salads for dinner generally. I adore fruit….in fac…

• superfood-that sounds awesome. Do you eat small amounts since it’s so nutrient? I’m always very intrigued by each level of health. It’s so amazing to see how far we can really go. by the way, I like the interaction on here too. It’s so honest!

• I think I’ll align with you on this one lulushka8. I think other than honey I am like a vegan. But I think I’ll just call myself a raw foodist since I don’t want there to be any confusion. Is there a term like “raw veganish”? haha. Just playin’

  in Agave...RAW OR NOT?! Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Yeah, I respect “real” vegans because it’s super difficult to live that way. Yes it is thoughtful and yes it does take a large amount of conviction. I definitely don’t have that conviction and I don’t know why(maybe just the selfish human in me) but…

  in Agave...RAW OR NOT?! Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Well I generally just call myself a raw foodist. I’m definitely not offended and I hope you aren’t offended when I call you a religious vegan. I only say that because you are a vegan because of your conviction. I do stay away from animal tested prod…

• I don’t really feel like agave can be all that natural since it is processed. I mean, flour comes from a plant too but it’s bleached, enriched, heated, ground and whatever else. It’s made into something else. I don’t feel like eating honey is exploi…

• wait it out!!! My first two weeks were really rough too. I read my journal entries recently and they were like this “Day 7 of raw…..I”M DYING HERE!! Pizza, pizza, chips, sour cream, cheese, more pizza…...anything. I crave everything. I’m tired.” Any…

  in Sex drive Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Thank goodness my hubs is around enough for me to get my fill of sex. My drive went through the roof on raw! But I really do think it had to do with how good I felt generally. I want to have more sex because I have so much energy. I think I already …

• Shgadwa-although you’re right about alcohol not being that great for you I think in general you’re going overboard. The bible says “everything in moderation”....you can have three beers and still remain in that category. I think it’s unwise to bring…

• One of the reasons I started on a raw diet is because of my bad digestive system. As soon as my body was cleared out and only raw food was going through it I was easily able to tell the foods that messed with it. I thought I was in touch with my bod…

  in Bad Digestion Comment by troublesjustabubble
• I doubt you’ll gain weight with adding a little less raw. Just keep it unrefined and processed and it should be good. I feel for your dietary issues because even though mine were totally different I know what it’s like to be at the end of my rope an…

  in will I gain weight if I go lower raw? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• Before I was raw I could literally not “go” without many laxatives. It took about two weeks for me to start going easily and for a while it was pretty liquidy. Of course I was overjoyed since that was what I was looking for but I still go at least o…

• okay, when I was a kid I was totally obsessed with any leaf in my moms garden. I munched on broccoli leaf, tomato leaf, strawberry leaf, and anything else I could get my hands on. I’ve since stopped but that compulsion explains my love of spinach, c…

• there is at least one. I’m not sure of the brand but they have it at my hyvee in Kansas City, Missouri. So it’s out there somewhere. It’s really really expensive though. I’m pretty sure that some other people can help you here because I remember rea…

• I agree with amy, even though I wear far less makeup now that I’m all raw I still like to put a light shimmer on my cheeks or a dab of lip balm. I like the natural look mostly(just some mascara and mineral powder) but switching it up is fun too. My …

• pianissima-okay, that was an awesome post. I’ve been having issues being able to let myself go enough to eat cooked food since I feel so bad when I eat them but I think I may be able to pull it off with your suggestions. I guess I just didn’t think …

  in Social Situations Comment by troublesjustabubble
• well it’s rough for sure. When I first started raw I wrote out a rules and regulations and one of my sections was for exceptions. I put that in social situations that would cause a scene I would go ahead and partake but just do as raw as possible. I…

  in Is this a bad eating habit to get into? Comment by troublesjustabubble
• haha I like your advice. I feel the same way….I’m doing 100% raw but that’s only because my personality is all or nothing. Some of my family members were inspired by the raw idea but couldn’t do it all the way and so they include some cooked food an…

• thanks amysue! I agree that I definitely don’t “need” nearly as much makeup as my skin seems to be radiant on raw but I do like to even things up a bit and put mascara on. The mineral makeup I’m using only has a few ingredients but I’m not sure what…
