• My concern was not the quantity of fat per se, but which fats you are choosing. I agree that fat is not bad and is definitely necessary, especially for bodies under stress! My concern is primarily that the fats seem to be primarily in the form of oi…

• Hey Valgal, sorry to hear you're not feeling so good! My observation is that you are eating a lot of oils, nuts, and fat, which are things that take a lot of energy to digest. Are you soaking any of your nuts? I find that I cannot eat nuts and feel …

• When I was 15 I lost enough weight that I stopped having my period. After about 4 months, my mom took me to see the doctor, who said I was anemic and underweight. Once I started taking iron supplements and gaining weight, it still took me 9 months f…

• I have always gotten carsick and believe I always will. I don't think its natural for our bodies to be moving and changing directions at 60 miles an hour, with artificial air and restricted movement. The only thing that helps me is to roll the windo…

• My only suggestion would be to freeze them? Thawing might make them a little soggy, so you might need to dehydrate again. Maybe someone has some experience with dehydrating and then freezing?

• A half-marathon is 13.1 miles. I was training for one last year when I got my wisdom teeth removed. I didn't recover in time for the race, but I would like to try again. I hope you can find someone in your area to be a buddy! I don't know any other …

• Optimally you would be soaking your groats before eating them anyway. Most seeds, including grains, should be sprouted before consumption. It's a little bit more of a hassle, but the difference in taste and the ease of digestion is totally worth it.

• Floaters are pretty normal. Almost everyone experiences them. I have personally experienced them since I was about 7 years old (but I have worn glasses since I was eight) I don't think they're anything to worry about, unless you feel light headed to…

• I am interested as to why you feel the need to follow recipes, especially when they involve ingredients you know you don't like! I suggest you make a salad out of veggies you DO like, or sub in veggies you like for the ones you don't like. I agree t…

• Hey Joannabanana! How's your mouth feeling? I didn't experience much swelling until I got infected, but what I did was walk around for a day with a clove of garlic shoved down the infected hole. The swelling went down within 4 hours, as did the pain…

• Joannabanana - Good wishes on a fast recovery! I had my wisdom teeth out last year, and survived on bananas mashed with orange juice for a week (this was pre-raw, so I didn't know about smoothies). Make sure to gargle your salt water! My holes got i…

• Maryssa - I tend to keep dried fruit around for the end of long exhausting days. I mix it up; dried bananas, figs, apricots, and dates. Dates are a staple. Dried fruit is very sweet and also very heavy, so I usually feel satisfied without needing to…

• hee hee...if you think six roommates are a lot, try 30+. At first people were always asking about my food and giving me weird looks, but they're pretty used to it by now :) . Good luck! I hope your dorm cafeterias have good salad bars!

• I often have trouble with all nuts: cashews, pecans, walnuts, and almonds. It seems like most of the time my body does not want them. I've never had this problem with seeds, but I don't know what the difference is. Less fat, maybe?

  in Cashews Make Me Sick! Comment by Parsley

• You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Most of my diet consists of green smoothies, fruit, and veggie dips. I make a seed cheeze, hummus, guacomole, tahini sauce, or some other creamy thing and eat it either as a dip with whatever veg is o…
