• I used to eat these in handfuls in my non-raw days, when I was working in a deli. Maybe I should get back into them! They are delicious – they have a much milder garlic taste, but still retain a crunchy texture. You also end up with a very nice garl…

• You might allow the highly-flavoured (delicious sounding) crust to “speak for itself” by having a simpler filling, which doesn’t repeat the vanilla and date flavours. Maybe just blended frozen banana and strawberry to make a kind of light, ice-cream…

• Grated swede (rutabaga) is the best :) It is also great shaved into a stir-not-fry … comes out just like bamboo shoots.

• It could just be that you’re lacking energy. You mention in your profile that you enjoy running cross-country. If you do this regularly, it could be that you’re expending more energy than you’re taking in. The body sometimes craves sweet things when…

• I think a lot of people come to raw from an unhealthy relationship with food – either from not eating enough of it OR from eating too much of it, if you get what I mean. Raw seems to provide people with one way of combatting either of these things i…

• You make an interesting point, but I’d personally be careful if a food is actually giving your children hives & other symptoms. Perhaps just leave off them for a few months, then try intoducing them later? They can get comparable nutrients from …

• Maybe your body doesn’t need / want to lose weight … Or, if you feel that’s really not the case, maybe your body just doesn’t want to right at the moment … It could still be healing, and will perhaps drop excess weight when it has finished healing. …

• Yes, I believe it is perfectly okay, rawrawraw! Not an egg-eater myself but like the sound of Raw_Chocoholic’s suggestion re: the miso soup!

  in 25% Cooked! Comment by Belisarius
• I don’t have (& so use) a dehydrator because it has never felt “right” to me, somehow. I will buy commercial, raw flax-crackers sometimes, as I find they help with bread-like cravings. But, generally, I stick to raw food with raw names & agr…

• I’m with krispi & chriscarlton on this one – really, you don’t need to restrict a 100% raw diet, especially if you’re transitioning. Your body will honestly find its own way. Besides, from your picture it looks as though you’re in a wonderful st…

• Abstinence? Sorry, kidding – couldn’t resist. The best thing is probably to have her chart her cycle, and adjust your “activities” accordingly. Isn’t foolproof, though, and may be frustrating for her as many women feel more like having sex when they…
