• I would prefer onions that have not had their DNA altered. But the article is fascinating; it’s nice to learn new things about food. I’ve noticed that when I’m wearing my contact lenses, onions don’t make me cry. I can still smell the onions, but ma…

• Congrats on the weight loss! As far as weight gain and a raw diet is concerned, I would worry more about eating too much fat. However, there are probably people out there who eat a ton of avocados and nuts and still manage to lose weight. You need c…

• I run for 60 minutes, three or four times a week. When it’s cold I run around an indoor track. Green smoothies create so much clean burning energy I don’t know what to do with all of it. Hiking is wonderful too, but there aren’t many national parks…

• Sprouts are so nice. Quinoa and lentils get made into salads. I still don’t care for the taste of lentils so I marinate the heck out of them in oil and vinegar. Sprouted wheat berries make a succulent raw bread, but I look forward to trying kamut an…

• The temp. actually reached double digits here in Omaha today. I love Nebraska, but it’s coooold. It will be so beautiful here in the spring when the snow melts and we start to get those crazy rainstorms. I live ten minutes from a Whole Foods, so it…

• When I was transitioning, I still ate almost all of the things on that list. Over time I’ve cut all of them out (except nori and olive oil) because I noticed that I felt bloated and tired whenever I ate them. Your tastes start to change when you eat…

• Yes, don’t feel bad. If I only ate a banana for breakfast and a salad for lunch, I would surely binge at dinner too. Your body must have been starving. Maybe a big fruit salad at breakfast (sprinkled with flax seeds) would have been more sustaining?

• I find that too much of it gets stuck to the side of the glass or blender, so I don’t mix spirulina into anything. I just eat it with a spoon and then wash it down with water. I like the Cap’m Quick idea.

• The salt air near the ocean is very healing. A Chinese doctor told me that cancer patients ought to move near the seashore. The sunlight is also very healthy because it helps to regulate your body cycles.

• Bananas seem to work, but I rarely eat them. Sprouted grain breads won’t make the movement any more solid, but they’ll make the passage smoother and less dramatic. I haven’t found any raw equivalent of white bread or matzo ball soup, which are basic…

• Wow, I wish I hadn’t looked at those pictures! Moth, I’m not sure it’s detox. Perhaps you’re not eating anything with any binding capacity?

• I add it to desserts as a flavoring. The malty taste makes them seem richer.

• Yes, you’re a raw foodist. You have the desire to eat raw and you’ve taken substantial steps towards eating raw. I’ve never tried a raw ranch dressing. When I make a salad from hardy greens like kale or chard, I like avocado based dressings like thi…

  in Raw Percent? Comment by LionMouse
• I don’t like percentages, but it’s probably best to assess your rawness by week or month. You don’t want to get discouraged if you have an off day. Your diet seems to be mostly raw. Have you ever tried raw salad dressings? Some are so tasty that I c…

• I love flax seeds, but I rarely eat more than a couple tablespoons at a time. Flax crackers contain a lot of fiber and can irritate the gut. The only commercially sold flax crackers that I’ve seen are marketed as laxatives.

• Cool. How many seeds? Just one spoonful?

• They called the raw diet a fad? Hmmph. It is not a fad. At first, I thought I was going to eat raw as an experiment, but now I don’t want to eat any other way. It rarely gets dull because there are so many foods to experiment with: nut milks, sprout…

• I love protein as well. Before going raw, I would eat giant egg white omelets for dinner. Right now I’m getting most of my protein from powders too. Today I spouted some lentils, and they are very filling. They taste strange to me, so I’m looking fo…

• Ginger and lemon zest work well. Sometimes the only fruit that I add to my smoothie is an apple, so I need those strong flavors.

• I love seasonal recipes. Organizing recipes by ingredient sounds like a great idea too.

• I am going to try an apple and leek quiche. I’m not sure about using avocado as the base, but it’s worth a shot.

• If you’re paying $2.50 for kale, I’m guessing that you live near a Whole Foods. They put out a lot of free samples on Saturday and the fruit samples seem to get passed over by most people. I also score on free fuit at special school lectures, mostly…

• I eat a quarter cup of hemp seeds or flax every day. These go into my shakes or are spinkled over salad. When I tried cutting out all nuts and seeds my skin suffered a lot. Brownies are my weakness, and when I do get my hands on some nuts, they usu…

• If you like nuts and seeds, mashes are a good way to eat greens. I’ve seen recipes for broccoli and spinach mashes on this site. Some of them are light and fluffy. The last time I had the flu eight years ago, my mother made a seaweed soup. It wasn’t…

• It’s okay to work the organic produce in slowly. Like Elizabeth said, avocados and pineapples are less of a worry. But your root veggies (like carrots and yams) should be organic because they have the most contact with the soil and any chemicals in …

• For greens, a base of red chard and red lettuce is tasty. The chard should be cut into thin strips so they’re easier to chew. And then I love to shave a lot of different root veggies over the top, like beets and celeriac. I’ve never tried pomegranat…

• Just got home for Christmas a few days ago. I ate a bowl of grapenuts cereal out of habit and needed to take a long nap afterwards. It feels like I ate a brick. No wonder I needed so much coffee back when I was SAD; cooked food saps your energy.

• Don’t nut allergies kill people? I heard the reaction is so extreme that many people need to go the emergency room and have adrenalin injected into the heart. Are there different levels of nut allergy?

• Interesting. I wonder if there’s another way to remove heavy metals from the gut. Do you know where they came from other than your fillings?
