• Needak and ReboundAir are both really good quality rebounders and each cost under $200 for the non-fold ones. I bought a ReboundAir maybe 5 years ago for $179 and it’s been worth every penny. I use it all the time. I had a cheap Sporting Goods versi…

• When I first went raw a few years ago, I got alopecia (bald spot at the top back of my head). It was awful and just kept getting bigger for about 8 months. I tried some things I’d read about online (like a mixture of Vodka & cayenne, rosemary oi…

• I’m a raw mom of many too. I have 6 children, ages 5 1/2 to 18. My youngest son is about to start Kindergarten and my oldest daughter is about to leave home for college (on a 4 year full tuition scholarship - yay!) We have a rural K-8 school down th…

• Hi Kelley – - My first thought was intervals, but it looks like you’re already doing that. Another option is to run more hills—this will engage your lower body muscles more and get your heart rate higher. You could also wear 1 pound gloves (like som…

• Mimo—I started making green smoothies a year or so ago. Trying to do the math here :) My kids were 4, 7 1/2, 11, 13, 15, and 17. The only ones still stubborn about them are the 13 and 15 year olds. I used to make fruit smoothies before (for the past…

• My kids aren’t raw, but I’ve found that even my pickiest youngest one will eat/drink a green smoothie. I used to hide the fact that I was throwing handfuls of greens in at the end because they would have taken off running in the other direction, but…

• I just store mine in ziploc bags (to easily take with me) or in glass canning jars. Either way, my flax crackers (or sprouted wheat crackers) have lasted for months. They taste as fresh as the day I took them out of the dehydrator. If your crackers …

• I’ve never understood how these calls work. Do you actually have to use your telephone for it or can you listen online?

• Sabrina - I’m the same way - I can eat a few trays of crackers a day if I’m not careful. So I limit my crackers (and nuts)—not like a hound, but I usually don’t eat more than one tray of grains a day. I’ve also prolonged my time in between dehydrati…

• I wrote about this on my blog a few months ago too (not specifically all raw, but for healthier eating in general because so many of my friends don’t even think they can buy organic or whole). Here’s the link—http://www.bradybunchmom.com/2008/02/cos…

• I only buy my raw cacao online because I can’t find it locally. It’s from Nativas Naturals, but I get it through Amazon (and get the Super Saver free shipping—nice!) It’s about 1/2 the price of what I first bought from Nature’s First Law.

• When you mentioned carrying a sharp knife, I thought of the knives that Pampered Chef sells. They come with a sharpening case (that the knife rests in so it can’t cut anything until you want it to). They sell them in different sizes, but here’s the …

• Natural Vegan—What your coach said makes sense. I did that once in a yoga class. Started with a sitting pose on my knees for awhile, then stood up. I didn’t pass out, but I felt really dizzy and could hardly keep standing (and doing the other poses)…

• Oh you’re scaring me! 100 Days??? I guess if I can do 30, I can do 100, huh? That would be awesome actually. (I usually don’t use that word “awesome” but this truly would be). Okay, off to see what that’s all about…......

• How far are you all in your 30 days? I succeeded with my 15 days all raw (woo hoo!) then went on vacation last week (stayed high raw). I’m ready to bite the bullet (the raw bullet that is :)) and go for 30. Should I join you or are you almost finish…

• It was SUPER slow for me too, then I decided to try it using the Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but it made a big difference. Try it.

• I know this is different from overall thinning of the hair, but a few months after I first went raw, I acquired a bald spot on the top of my head. I was told it was alopecia (autoimmune disease) and it grew from about the size of a dime to the size …

• I’m mostly high raw and 100% a few days a week. By high raw, I’d say 80%-90%. I don’t consider myself a vegan because I eat raw honey and bee pollen. I sometimes have local eggs in my cooked percentage when I do bake in the fall/winter months. I hav…

  in Percentage of Raw Comment by NonDairyQueen
• Roxbn—I struggled with the guilt for not being 100% all the time for a few years when I first adopted a raw food diet. The longest I’ve been 100% is 3 weeks and most of the time I’m more in the 80-90% category. I decided not to fight what was and th…

• Hmmmm, if I just eat fruit in the morning, I’m not as hungry from the start as I am with grains or nuts. I drink a lot of water (3-4 glasses) before I even eat the fruit though. I drink a glass to wake me up, a few while I’m working out, then anothe…
