• I have never heard of this but I'd give it a shot! Melon is very cleansing so I'm sure you'd see great results. Funny they tell you salt and popcorn is ok, lol. Seems pretty contradictory to the whole cleanse...I would have a problem with the papaya…

• I notice my hair is sooo much less oily and dirty when I eat less fat, and more fruit. I am on day 4 of no poo (and week 2 of no overts) and its amazing how it just looks freshly washed. A good transition product for me was dry shampoo. Its basicall…

• Im pretty sure you can go on 'banana island' even if its not with bananas. Make sense? I've read of people doing it with apples, and watermelon. The point is to let your digestion system do as little work as possible which will happen when you eat o…

• My friend once encouraged me to try eating the skins after she saw someone did on their blog. I thought she was crazy, but I tried it, and now its the only way I eat them now. I like to slice mine in thin strips. I love the skin!

• Very helpful post, I continue to struggle with acne even after being Raw for quite some time..I'm thinking even the smallest amount of gluten will trigger a breakout. Its frustrating for sure, but I am going to to check out some of these supplements…

• Hi there, I wanted to let you know you are not alone! My husband and I just had our 3 year anniversary. I started getting into Raw about our 2nd year. At first I had no idea what I was going to do for our meals together in the evenings. What I first…

• When I followed 80/10/10 strictly i had dry skin and lips. I now add in a little bit more fat, just a little bit because too much will make me sick. My favorite sources are chia seeds, and avocado. It helped my dry skin. Or try moisturizing with coc…

• Detox can last a while, I still had symptoms 3 wks - a month into it. Our bodies are constantly in a state of detoxing. However it sounds like you may have some other health issues that I would recommend getting some blood work. Try to get in as muc…

• Thats too bad Cami, I hope you get some relief. I've read the best stool is long, and S shaped! I have a general idea of what a healthy digestion is, but I guess my confusion came from when people say they eat some nuts, or have oil, and they don't …

• I have never tried Essene bread before but I do eat Ezekial bread occasionally. I don't do well with gluten but can handle Ezekial. I have also tried Millet bread and I did react to that even though it says gluten free.

• Congratulations on 'tying the knot' :) You're going to feel so great after 3 months, you'll never even want to look back!

• I would say months of bloating is a bit exaggerated, and its not odd at all actually. Think of switching from a typical sad diet where every food you eat is water depleted and your dehydrated to all of the sudden consuming pounds of water rich, juic…

• You may be bloated. I went thru the same thing when I started 80/10/10. Eventually your body WILL stablilize itself but right now your body is adjusting to all of the high water content foods you are eating. I am a petite woman and initially I gaine…

• Trust me, you will not gain weight from fruit. I was fearful of the same thing because of the high sugar content. Fruit is extremely cleansing and when eaten on an empty stomach it goes right thru you and you benefit so much from all the enzymes and…

• You are detoxing most likely. When i went raw, the first 3 days were BLISSFUL. Then the next stage after that, I was tired, groggy and cranky. It will pass..its normal to be very hungry during this transition period so fill up on high water content …

• Melon is very cleansing..grapes and figs too. For colon cleansing, i meant trying enemas (you can buy at any pharmacy) or getting it professionally done.

• Fruit can cause a lot of gas for a while, at least for me it did. It took about a month of clean eating (fruit & veggies) and also regular enemas to relieve the gas and bloating. I would recommend colon cleansing and I'm pretty sure that should …
