• I hope for the love of god this is whats going on. I thought to myself "I have already detoxed so much with my lifestyle that maybe this is something deeper". I was hoping this was that kind of detox. Something deeper! Maybe someone else had the sam…

• your doing great so think about that fact alone. I will tell you however that there may be no advice someone can give you to never want cooked foods again. I believe this is a life long journey and you will face challenges often. Take your time. I d…

  in Too much spinach? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Mono meals should be just that.... a MEAL. I say you eat until you feel good. Theres no magic number for everyone. Right now I am doing about 25 bananas a day (thats it) and consume around 5 at a time. Some people eat nearly 10 in a sitting. It's ju…

  in How many? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Raw Librarian, I couldnt have said it better. I think people often believe they can go through some weekend classes and become chef's when people go through YEARS of tough education to achieve those goals. I grew up in a chef's an restaurant owners …

  in Raw CHef Training: which one Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I recently started work at a Whole Foods and I met a co worker who is Raw. Although, she is not a Raw vegan. She eats raw Cheeses. She is super educated which is awesome! Her and I have a VERY similar common beliefs about food but very different die…

• Wow, I have a couple pears and a banana for breakfast and nutridiary tells me I have already consumed 400 calories. I feel like I eat very little and amaze myself that I have eaten over 2000 calories. Blows my mind. I myself have been horrible shak…

  in Shaking-am I detoxing? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Try using jicama. You could use a mandolin to get even slices and then marinating them in whatever you would like. I like to make my own version of 'goddess' dressing and put them over top. I will be experimenting more with chips soon as well. I nor…

• Greetings! So I take it your in med school now (as normally you 'decide' to become a surgeon when you figure out which way your going in med school) and are aware the shakiness can be a neurological issue. Have you had that checked out at all. If it…

  in Shakiness Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Any Fruit juice is going to stay fresh longer due to it's natural citric acid and its sugar. I understand your desire to want to juice in bulk. As easy as my juicer is to clean it..I still hate having to clean 3 times a day. I really feel I could be…

  in How much juice do you prepare at a time? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• When I was just a regular ol' Vegan, I used to be able to eat ANYTHING right out of a can, or pouch for that matter. Beans, atrichoke hearts, lentils (god those were good). Those three were my favorite. I never felt the need to heat my food. Just ta…

  in The challenge of being 100% raw Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Greetings! Sorry to hear your frustrations but take solace in the fact that nearly al of us have been there. Your salad weakness sounds like mine. I would literally a whole can of artichokes on my salad WHILE eating a can of artichokes during the pr…

  in The challenge of being 100% raw Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I prefer juicing over smoothies due to the ease of digesting. It's such a quick source of energy! My favorite juice right now (because its seasonal) is: 1/2 pineapple 3/4 container of strawberries (the medium size... one or two pounds) tid bit o…

• I feel it is becoming stronger. I too have experienced your frustration. The more time goes by... the more sensitive my tummy gets. What I like about it... is that I feel my body talks to me and lets me know what's good and what's bad. It is no long…

• I felt the exact same way with jennifer cornbleets book as well. My best friend got it for me as my fist book and I thought 'oh what the hell am I going to do'. Having some experience under my belt now doesn't make me so horrified! Cheers!

• I certainly cant go 6-7 hours without eating. My body requires more fuel than that. There are times when it works for me but for the most part..I need to eat a bit more frequently. I would try making sure you up your caloric intake for breakfast by…

  in Endurance on Raw Food Diet... while cutting out grains??? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Sorry for the delayed response but the bars I was talking about were LaraBars. Only some of the bars are actually 100% raw. Someone on here mentioned that they weren't even raw but I would have to do my OWN research on that because I cant see how a …

  in Need basic daily foods.... Comment by Chef Shuanna
• The recipes in cookbooks seem incredibly overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it it seems like a breeze. Practice really does make perfect. My super fats recipe is pasta of any kind. I can make a marinara in under 5 minutes and the no…

• I knew there was more to your story when you mentioned a nutritionist :) Most 16 year old girls have nutritionists because they have/had an eating disorder. What confuses me is that your nutritionist and doctor are so against it. I hear time and ti…

• I once again I am in the same boat as you AVL. I was dropping pounds like crazy and now...nothing. I have stopped. Hit a plateau if you will. I have been working out like mad lately too burning at least 500 calories at the gym 5 days a week. I am al…

• This is so funny because this is exactly how I felt roughly a week ago. You and I had talked about starting some kind of cleanse at the same time. I figured out that it was my new addition of MSM that was making my tummy feel bloated as hell. I also…

• I have heard of MANY raw foodists that allow tea. Just because the water is above the 'safe zone' doesnt mean its losing nutrients. I mean...its water. I heard some people advocate the use of teas because it helps with the feeling of comfort and suc…
