  • Kitty- I have had first hand experience experimenting with a high fat low fruit raw diet and I was MISERABLE! My skin looked horrible and I was tired and cranky all the time. I had crazy cravings and just gorged on nut butter. Although I dont believ…
  • eecho 'I can't wait for superfood2 and the59sound to respond' heh... just had to comment on that... those were my thought exactly! edited..... it is taking every fiber in my body to comment on this topic but I keep hitting the damn edit button..... …
  • eecho mentioned eating oats. I found that SUPER helpeful when I first went raw. I buy raw oat groats (which can be challenging to find) buy the bag full and that will last me a good while. They are super cheap and super filling! I put some in a glas…
  • Hmm.... I work at Whole Foods. I do not believe my store has anything like that (and we have a huge Raw section). Best thing to do would be to ask the dairy manager about the product. If it does not say on the package I would be a bit on the cautiou…
  • I was born with severe eczema and as I grew older it seemed to have gotten better and better. I always had problems with it on my hands however in the palm area. It seemed I was going to have it forever. I finally was able to keep it at bay after go…

  • Well.... I see this post is a bit old but hopefully I can still help you. I am a coffee expert. Literally. All organic grown coffee goes through this Swill Water process and it substitutes the old chemical/gas extraction method. It is all going to c…
  • yup....thats my problem. I feel amazing after the fast but during the fast I want to shoot myself in the face. No Good. Thats when I tried the whole banana smoothie thing and since then I dont know if I will go back to a juice fast. It was great bec…
  • Coffee will remain with me til the end of time. I wish I could say Food was my life force but sadly coffee is. I only drink it black or just shots of espresso (quad espresso to be precise) but could never imagine giving it up. I have been in the cof…
    in COFFEE Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • thank you guys! It's nice to see people take a bit of time to do something so selfless and to help out people they dont even know. The kindness of strangers will hopefully get their dog back in their lives once again! Cheers!  
  • I dont know if I would drink more than one bottle a day. Grape is my favorite as well so I can feel ya there but 6? I would imagine the stomach pains coming from entirely too much bacteria in your stomach. Your digesting bacteria's which is great bu…
    in GT's Kombucha Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • I havent noticed them sweeter but I also brew my own at home so I dont drink theirs too often. I had one yesterday (grape) and I did find it difficult to drink the whole thing. hmmm....Didnt think about it. Maybe it is!? How far are into raw? Maybe …

  • I was the queen of Hearts!
  • I myself believe that what your doing sounds good and you feel you good doing it as well so I say go with it. Maybe your body needs those fats. 80/10/10 is NOT for everyone. I myself support it BUT it does not fair well for my body all the time. I n…
  • Alright, well this then will be easy for you to maintain! I am glad to hear that you have achieved your goals. You deserve the world for that! I myself am still on my way and having a bitch of a time I might add! Yay for old injuries! Think of main…
  • Like Raw cheesecakes and ice cream? I believe if you go back to eating SAD food like the ones mentioned then it is just going to further lead you to other SAD foods. Was raw foods JUST for a diet? Sorry if it sounds rude but just trying to understa…
  • I ditto this post. I am looking for some nummy stuff people like to ferment...... http://www.myrawconsciousness.blogspot.com
    in Fermented?? Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • Indigo- VERY well said. I personally dont think it is wise for ANYONT to transition to a raw diet while JUST entering rehab. Raw foods are used as PART of treatment at times BUT it is most likely too early for you to be concerned about raw foods and…
  • This comment is for Andrew.... Do you have a blog anywhere or anything. I have just noticed that I really enjoy reading everything you have to write. You seem very knowledgeable in raw foods. I would love to read your back story and find out whats …
  • sv3- since your a runner I thought I would ask you! Do have any experience with hip or knee pain when running and if so how do you deal with it. I have hip bursitis and am desperate to run again. I haven't been able to run in over 1.5 years and am d…
  • troubles - you are partially correct! Four major food oils (palm, soybean, rapeseed, and sunflower) provide more than 100 million metric tons annually, providing more than 32 million metric tons of n-6 linoleic acid and 4 million metric tons of n-3 …

    in Raw Soy Milk? Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • heh... I just had a glass of banana milk with shaved coconut in it. Yum!
    in Raw Soy Milk? Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • yes....I am the believer that you need to do what makes you feel good. I however, get cankles ( I shit you not ) and hormonally charged like you wouldn't believe. For me it is bad business! The thing about soy is its not in the ranking of other over…
    in Raw Soy Milk? Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • I personally do not consume or support the soy industry and would love to see others follow in that direction! The soy industry is as bad as the corn industry if not worse! You should dabble in other nut milks. Easier and better for you! Cashew milk…
    in Raw Soy Milk? Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • What are your binges? Cooked food? Raw Food? Why are you bingeing, is it because you feel like you are depriving yourself or is that you dont know how to make many raw dishes so you go until your starving? Whats the back story? Is there an ED we sho…
  • yah, unfortunately, if you have an ED and a doctor is treating you for it, no matter how long you have been recovered (even years and years) they will always look at you as such. Just like if your a drug addict. No matter how long you have been clea…
    in Loose skin Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • Well I take MSM as well due to severe hip busitis but MSM is not going to be what is needed for this problem. I found a good atricle on Edema that you can find here ( http://www.aafp.org/afp/20050601/2111.html ). I dont know much about this problem …

  • So I made these Kale chips and I swear they taste like that Goddess Dressing. That cant be bad right? I personally thought it was a bit heavy on the apple cider vinegar so the recipe I am giving you represents a change. The extra apple cider vinegar…
    in kale chips Comment by Chef Shuanna
  • To update a bit...... I am feeling amazing! Every since my banana frenzy I have tried remaining more on the low fat side (tho not all the time) of the raw lifestyle. I dont mean 80/10/10 or anything for that 'diet' does not work for me. I like makin…
  • heh...after I posted that I did exactly what you recommended. Felt amazing afterwards although my upper back still bugged me. It was so nice. : ) I believe I am releasing old injuries and old stress. The only places bugging me was areas that I had…
