• MSM is naturally occuring in cruciferous (brocolli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale etc)—I stick with the whole food.

• Buy a bike! Even if you live far from places, it can’t be too bad with the weather!

  in Car advice Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I used to have horrible digestion, following food rules or not. Then I found that I had been habitually overeating, and when I eat only what I need, I can digest just fine (raw things, obviously things like french fries will still do a number on my …

• Sleep as long as you need to wake up feeling rested, and without needing an alarm clock. There was a discussion on the raw food support forum, and a lot of people were saying they actually required more sleep, because they were no longer masking sle…

• Overeating anything isn’t good… That being said when I’m eating something like salad, if I’m eating slowly and chewing well, it may take me a long time to finish it. I’m also pretty active, and you have to eat a fair amount of veggies to get enough …

  in over eating? Comment by cannibalwarrior
• That’s exactly why I don’t do many gourmet recipes—except more to moderate fat than anything else. Seeds will do—hemp, sunflower, pumpkin, poppy, sesame. Zuchinni makes things creamy, so do some other veggies—experiment!

• I don’t believe that cravings indicate any physical needs, but are something experienced during withdrawal from anything (and yes, you could still be detoxing). Think of caffeine, cigarette, cocaine addicts. Meat and dairy also have addictive compou…

• Many people have problems with dried fruit—eliminate it completely, focusing on fresh, live fruits. If that doesn’t work, choose lower-sugar fruitsberries of all kinds, kiwis, grapefruits, and passionfruit, and others.

• It’s not raw and high in sodium. It only looks like it’s not because they say a serving is 1/4 a tsp. Low-sodium tamari is often lower!

  in Braggs Amino Acids Comment by cannibalwarrior
• As long as you are seeking to reduce suffering in your life as much as possible (you obviously are), labels are not so important. But they can be very helpful when you are at a restaurant, or describing to a friend what you would/wouldn’t eat. One t…

  in Changes in thinking... Comment by cannibalwarrior
• Aim for water-rich foods as your primary source of nourishment (no dried fruit), and buy nuts in the shell—it’s way to easy to eat a bunch if all the work’s been done for you, and that’s now how we used to do it! Avoid refined foods like salt, agave…

• I used to have 1-2 ounces of nuts/seeds a day (or half an avocado instead of an ounce). Now that my weight has stablized (and I’ve always been very active), 3-4 oz is better for me.

• Fast on water only and rest.

  in getting sick what to do? Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I think you will only see a difference in 30 days if you were in horrible health before, on a horrible SAD diet—but it sounds like you were eating alright before! The closer to get to excellent health, the more gradual changes are.

• I am in Minnesota, and it’s -11 (not including the windchill) right now. I like to keep hot herbal tea in my lap and curl up next to the radiator. I haven’t been doing much for salads but have been doing green smoothies—and that’s just a phase that …

• I’m glad you like the idea of a smoothie fast. Let us know what you decide to do! We all want to support you and I bet there are lurkers in a similar situation.

  in Juice Feasting Comment by cannibalwarrior
• Wow, that’s a toughie. I wouldn’t mess with fasting or juice feasting if I had an eating disorder and such a spare frame. That is definitely a contraindication for juice feasting. Who knows how you will react afterwards Why do you want to get to suc…

  in Juice Feasting Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I know the hulls have a lot of nutrition, so I’d avoid hulled for that reason alone.

• Legumes, steamed veggies, grains and dark chocolate occasionally.

  in If you are not 100% raw... Comment by cannibalwarrior
• This is a masticating function. Processing it very well with a good food processor will produce similar results.

  in Recipe requires juicer with blank plate - substitute? Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I have done it both ways. Since I usually choose the lazier path, I leave it out so I don’t have to screw/unscrew it and wash it. Then after putting the banana through, I push the ice cream that went through that hole with my finger so it comes all …

  in Making Ice Cream-GreenPower Juicer Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I have a Green Power. For ice cream you can go either way, if the hole is open it will just come out there as well! Might as well leave it closed, but it’s not a big deal.

  in Making Ice Cream-GreenPower Juicer Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I always add plenty of fresh greens, and if you use stevia you can avoid using too much fruit. You can gradually increase the greens as you get used to more. I also use water to save calories. My favorite: 5 cups greens, 1/2 a lime or lemon (peeled …

  in Too many smoothies? Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I second low-fat, and no refined foods like salt or agave—these are not whole foods! I do include fat in my diet, but you only need a small amount for a third of your calories to come from fat, and we have plenty of recipes with far more!

  in What kind of recipe book would you like? Comment by cannibalwarrior
• There is real, scientific evidence for intermittent fasting, which having long gaps between your meals basically is. Your body has time to digest the food, and then attend to other things. If you are constantly digesting small amounts of food, your …

  in when to eat? Comment by cannibalwarrior
• The cheapest thing I can think of is dried beans—yes, it’s cooked food, but you can’t beat the whole food calories you’ll get for each dollar. I’d supplement that with sprouts and dumpstered produce. Don’t get into the cooked food=bad, raw food=good…

  in Dirt Poor: Raw Envy Comment by cannibalwarrior
• I usually eat a base of veggies (especially greens—love green smoothies!) plus a piece of fruit and an ounce or two of fats. I use a blender, cutting board and knife, and very occasionally my juicer or food processor—they are nice to have but not es…
