• Raw Happy Girl, I couldnt have said it better. Do what makes you feel good. We all have one common goal. To live a natural raw, cruelty free life. Our paths to that lifestyle make take us down a different road, though we all have the same end point.…

• SAD = Standard American Diet. So pretty much crap food.

  in Oil Pulling Comment by Chef Shuanna
• My Oster blender works flippin' awesome. Cost me around $60 or so bucks and I can use it for everything! I use it as my food processor as well so it's like two tools in one. I have used a vita-mix in my professional endeavors but honestly think they…

  in Blender help! Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I have stopped using it in all places BUT my face. Both my mom and my brother got skin cancer surgically removed from their face so it runs in my family. I am not willing to take that chance. I dont put it on everyday BUT I do when I go lay out in t…

  in Raw food...no sunscreen? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Have mersey~ Quantities used? It sounds excellent but if I am left to my own devices I have the potential of making something odd. How many tomatoes? One clove garlic?

  in zucchini!! Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I realize I am probably going to be zero help here but thought I would say something anyways. I cant remember ever having this problem. I have been vegetarian for 15 years and vegan for 7 years so beans and lentils have always been a very big part i…

• heh...he probably works or was funded by the FDA. Thats awesome! People blow my mind...how freely people are to preach and 'educate' others on matters they know nothing about. It's the American way!

• Congrats on your new found determination. I had the same feeling a couple weeks ago. I had a year period of where I took horrible care of myself as well as a job that consumed 70 hours a week of my time NOT including a two hour a day commute. I also…

• I actually DO prefer to let my noodles sit just not overnight! I like to let them sit out for about 20 minutes just to soften them up a LITTLE bit. To make them feel more like regular noodles. Otherwise they can be crunchy...which isnt bad at all. I…

• Sorry for my sheer lameness but what is Oil pulling? Cheers!

• AVL.~ If your down to start on Sunday that would be perfect. I wanted to start today but then last night I looked around and realized how much fresh produce I have to use up first. You could go on Watermelon Island for three days and I'll go juice f…

  in Juice Fast Failure? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• heh.... I love how you call them 'islands'. Dont know why but it made me laugh. Thats a good idea though. I lead a pretty active lifestyle so I am concerned about getting enough nutrients to get me through my days. Would taking a vacation to one of …

  in Juice Fast Failure? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• SA-RAW I was just wondering how things were going with you as far as the 3 day juice cleanse. I have been having really bad digestion myself the past two days and thought to myself "I should really juice for 3 days"... then I thought to myself ...'h…

  in Juice Fast Failure? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I came across this website a while back and have used it to find recipes and such but I really need to use it more than I do. I dont spend much time on the computer AT ALL so it's tough for me. I guess I would rather be outside doing something or sp…

  in Does anyone else love the support on this site?!?!! =] Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I think if there has been one thing I have learned when I went Raw was that EVERY BODY is different. Just because what works well for me does not mean that my boyfriend (for example) is going to thrive off the same foods. Just the opposite in fact! …

  in Fat intake?! Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I actually used Tom's of Main as well and I just found out they are owned by the Colgate company and they are the devil so I am actually in the market now for a good toothpast. Suggestions would be amazing! Cheers!

• I will state that the west coast (Seattle and Portland) are the most Vegan and vegetarian friendly cities in this country so if thats important then you should consider that but I just moved BACK to California after 12 years of living in Seattle. I …

• Have Mersey- Yes.... it is a Project Pitchfork reference! I started using the name shortly after the song came out and have never used anything since! I am hoping people don't take it as me being vain, thinking I actually believe I live their dreams…

  in Kombucha - Like & Hate Comment by Chef Shuanna
• It's so much fun. Your going to LOVE brewing it. My biggest problem with the homemade stuff is that it seems incredibly strong. I dont put much sweetener in because I dont want to consume the extra sugars. I put just enough in to feed the 'mom'. If …

• It's not a financial thing for me....I'll spend the money on it if I have to. I make it because I like feeling self sufficient. It's incredible to watch it grow. People come over and ask questions and its fun to show them what its all about! Cheers!

  in Kombucha - Like & Hate Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I am a big fan of this tea and brew my own! I try to drink a bottle daily but I am on the go a lot it seems. I do find that when I drink it regularly I eat less and just have more energy. When I first made the transition to raw 3 years ago (I fell o…

• I am getting ready to begin pulling. There are quite a few things I am starting as of late and don't want to go all overboard! I am waiting for a good solid week or so after I start taking MSM and I am on day 5 so I am almost there. I want to be abl…

  in Metal taste in my mouth Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Sheesh. It is sad to say but I have noticed some people around here (more new comers) are awfully rude and I have seen more flame wars as of late. Very sad...they should be modified a bit better in my opinion. If people cant make positive comments i…

• the crippling panick attacks started not when I was preggers but about 4 months AFTER! It wasnt post part-um depression but horrible anxiety. I started taking meds and realize now I stayed on them so long because I took them in the first place. I wa…

  in Prenatal Vitamins? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• JFF, This is so wonderful to hear. I myself was stricken with SEVERE panick and anxiety after my daughter was born (9 years ago). I had never known such issues until that time! I have been thinking about wanting to increase my family here in the ne…

  in Prenatal Vitamins? Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I am sorry you having an issue with this. It can be frustrating. It seems as if a majority of people responding are being rather negative and seems (at least to me) that they are blaming you for this problem. I hope you dont take offense to some of …

  in Deodorant for kids Comment by Chef Shuanna
• Lecithin is just a marketed supplement that is not Raw. If your eating Raw and consuming healthy dishes one wouldnt need to consume "supplements". I think people put too much faith in supplements. I myself take MSM so cant speak too much but I take …

• I am curious as well about this barefoot running. I still believe I need a little recover time BUT this sounds interesting. Where do you do your running? Do you have to worry about injuries or such?  

  in Runners or ones with Hip Brusitis Comment by Chef Shuanna
• I have had small rashes due to detox but nothing like that. Especially ones that are warm to the touch. I dont know what your insurance situation is but you should get it checked out. It certainly wouldnt hurt. You could also try calling a nurses ho…
