  • I am about to move from my current lifestyle as well. More information would be great!
  • Hmmm. The first thing I want to say to you is to stop comparing yourself to a drug addict or an alcoholic. Yes, cooked food can be compared to these things in that it has an overall degrading effect on your body, but you do not have a "problem". It …

  • I would say that the most important thing about running is your mindset when you do it. You need supportive shoes, of course, but you need a supportive attitude most of all. Motivating yourself to go out and jog when it is raining, grey, you're stre…

  • I did a research paper on GM foods and can confirm that unless it is organic, any papaya from hawaii is likely to be genetically modified to be resistant of the Papaya Ringspot virus, which (according to a representative from the papaya growers of h…

  • Congratulations! It is so wonderful that you have chosen to make healthy life choices for yourself. How are you feeling on raw?
  • This morning I surprised my partner with a fancy parfait in a wine glass for breakfast! It was layers of cashew cream, cut up strawberries, chocolate-banana pudding, and sprouted/dehydrated grains. He loved it!
  • Green smoothie or occasionally nut mylk. My green smoothie is usually pretty simple, since I don't often have a diversity of fruit on hand. Lately its just been apples with mixed greens (collard, kale, cabbage, spinach, dandelion greens, etc), but I…
  • Pears. So juicy and mild!

  • I haven't tried the water from a young coconut yet, but I think mature coconut water is heavenly. My favorite breakfast drink for sure.
  • I do enjoy carob, but do not think that it should ever be compared/substituted for cocoa. Carob is an entirely different substance than cocoa, and therefore has an entirely different taste, sensation, and feel on your body. With carob I do not exper…

  • I've read that when nursing women need like 600 calories more than normal to sustain themselves and their baby. Do you have more information about this? Maybe you are simply not getting enough calories and this is causing you to feel more hungry tha…
  • I've been trying to eat a little just to keep my energy levels up. It's midterm time, and professors don't let you call in sick (you actually need to bring in documentation of either hospitalization or a death certificate to be able to reschedule an…
  • I had a professor suggest that mercury fillings are actually better than the plastic ones. Something about how the mercury they use for fillings is somehow bonded to something else so it doesn't leach out of your teeth and into the rest of you, but …
  • Raw green beans are definitely not poisonous. As a little girl I wouldn't eat them any other way. In the summer I would sit in our green bean teepee munching beans and playing with the leaves, which are like velcro. I still prefer my green beans raw…
  • cherimoyas are $8 a pound here

  • I went to the Asian food market today but no luck...all they had was young coconut. How much on average does Robert Is Here cost? The diverse colors of the fruit are so appealing!
    in Interesting fruit? Comment by Parsley
  • Where do you find unusual fruit in the US? There are so many fruits I have heard mentioned in the raw community (sharon fruit, durian, cherimoya) but never see these in my market! Do you have to order them online? I imagine they are quite expensive.…

  • Wow Suasoria! Thank you for that deep and insightful piece of wisdom! You are so right that a lot of our problems, food related or not, come from not being present in the moment. Sometimes I find when I am eating that I am eating only out of routine…

  • I haven't read the posts carefully, but has anyone suggested tahini yet? It seems like most of the dressings suggested so far are fairly complicated (except the avo, of course). I put a little tahini, lemon juice, curry powder and water in a bowl an…

  • I am so lucky. My partner has nearly completely accepted raw and even chooses raw over non-raw foods nearly all the time. He was vegan when I met him; I was the meat-eater recently turned vegetarian. I immediately went vegan, and a year later starte…
  • When I first became a vegan I ate lots of nutritional yeast because it does have that "cheesy" flavor that I missed. Now I choose not to eat nutritional yeast because I believe it to have a similar properties as MSG. Plus, after not eating it for aw…
  • Hey Chris! Of course we're still friends :) RawCanadian, I'm sorry you seem to feel the stricter use of the "raw" label undermines your efforts and all the good work others have done to heal themselves. I respect your view, but I wish you could use …
  • Hey Chris, I myself would not try to answer what is "normal", because I have no idea. I currently eat around 95% raw on most days. I will eat the occasional cooked meal when I go to visit family, since they're still struggling with the vegan thing. …
  • Hmm, I would just like to point out that there was such a defensive tizzy about what percentage is considered "raw" that Eple's original question, "How much is 80% raw?" was never answered. Anyone care to estimate? I'm guessing you would hit 80% if …
  • I stopped shaving and wearing deodorant over a year ago. My mom was scandalized when she realized I was not shaving (thanks to a sleeveless shirt), but never realized that I didn't wear deodorant until a particularly sticky summer day. That's becaus…

  • How much juice are you consuming per day? I just finished my first three day juice fast. I did not feel like I detoxed except maybe on the first day.

  • How old were you when you went raw, RawKidChef? I suspect that many indian dishes contain some form of dairy, like butter. The last time I ate it (after being vegan a year) I ended up next to the toilet all night.
  • Today was my last day of a 3 day juice feast my partner and I undertook for the new year. The first day I slept more than 12 hours. Since then, I have been energized and unable to sleep (like right now). We've been using the pulp from our juice to m…

  • I'm in college but my roomie (and life partner!) is also vegan and mostly raw so that's a little easier. The hard part is that we live in a student cooperative, a community of about 30 people. Two times a day we prepare a communal meal. Most people …

  • I've been on a hot chocolate for breakfast fix! When I come back from my morning run, I love a big mug of something warm and fatty. However I am wondering how healthy this trend is because awhile back I read some stuff about only eating things like …
