  • Hi Fee. Thanks for letting me know about the foodie from Billingham. It is still about 150 miles away from me - boohoo. I live in Northumberland but work most of the time in Newcastle when I'm not travelling. Thanks for your note about my choc energ…

  • Almonds! Loaded with vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, zinc and more besides.

  • I use the saladacco. It is quick to use and very easy to clean, but does not have all of the fancy options that some of the complex ones have. There are two settings and these are fine for everyday use. I use mine just about every day. You might fin…

  • I feel for you - it is truly ghastly when this happens. What works for me in these situations is to eat small slices of apple slowly - don't wolf it down! Apple does settle the stomach and if you are feeling like you are going to vomit - it helps th…
  • I agree with the other guys, it sounds like you are eating alot of fat. Cut out the coconut butter and nut butters for few days and see how you feel. You don't say what the raw cereal is but if it is grain based, try giving that up as well for a few…
  • Thank you. So generous and such beautiful photography. Can't wait to try.
  • If you have some coconut butter and agave, mix the pulp with both and make pie bases which you can freeze until you need and fill with your favourite fruit filling. I put cling film in the bottom of my pie case before I put the 'pastry' in so it com…
  • Green smoothies and lots and lots of fruit. It will help you to lose the craving for salt, which I guess there is alot of in frozen dinners. Don't get hungry or you will slip. Lots of people on this site eat a ton of bananas - they help alot. Good l…
  • Daniefon, very funny! I'll use that line next time. Brilliant.
  • Does anyone struggle with co-workers who are continually obsessed with what you eat, and who feel free to express an opinion on it? I try not to talk too much about my food choices, because to be honest, I hate the attention. I'm just fed up of peop…
  • Yesterday: Miso soup with carrots and celery Fruit salad with blueberries, banana, orange, almonds and cacoa nibs 1/4 portion of Avo cucumber soup made with 2 whole cucumbers, 4 celery sticks, one avo and water all blended together to achieve desire…
  • Long time since I posted, so here goes: 3 green juices (orange, mint, lettuce and cucumber) 2 portions of chia pudding (chia and hemp milk) Tomato and onion salad 2 large carrots with small portion of pine nut 'cheesy' dip. Large bowl of strawberrie…
  • So far: Orange, lime and papaya smoothie. I had a bad weekend too!
  • So far today: (decided to post to keep me motivated)..... Juice - watercress, limes, cucumber and apples 2 bananas Two slices of crispy onion bread with pine nut 'cheese' 10 cherry tomatoes 2 large prunes
  • Pear Salad of goldbar squash pasta with mushrooms, served with pine nut and tarragon 'cheese'. English cherries Raw chocolate brownie Banana
  • Yesterday: 3 raspberry and banana hempmilk shakes, breakfast and then mid morning and mid afternoon snacks. Salad of sprouts, sweetcorn, peppers, spring onions, cucumber, courgette with olive oil and lemon dressing. Flax seed crackers 1 pear sunflow…
  • Mangoes, papayas, pineapples etc. All of the tropicals give good energy. Some raw fooders eat masses of bananas. I agree also about the green smoothies. They do help to sustain when mixed with fruit.
  • Welcome. Try eating more sweet whole fruits, not dried. Bananas are great.
  • Thanks for posting details of this website. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Shipping to the UK is expensive though! If there are any UK raw food retailers reading this, are you able to obtain supplies for us UK raw foodies??
  • Hey JKMN, Alix is right. Citrus and greens. Try green smoothies – the orange julius on the recipe pages is quick and satisfying. Stay off the dried fruit and nuts.
  • Couponfork, are don’t say what foods you eat. For example if you are not vegan, there is a temptation to go raw by od’ing on sweet fooods – which will not help your depression. You need to stablise your blood sugar first, so you need a good transiti…

  • Soak the nuts for a few hours. Brazils need a bit longer. Shelled hemp needs no soaking, so is the fastest milk to make if you need something straight away. If you use medjool or fresh dates they don’t need soaking.
  • Have a stock of dried fruit and nut ‘truffles’ in the fridge ready to go in case you get the munchies. For example, goji’s blended with cashew nuts and sunflower seeds, dates blended with almonds and maybe some cacoa nibs. Bliz and roll into small b…
  • Curried lentils (red ones) – spicy!
  • Chrissypie123. Your diet sounds similar to mine. You will lose weight. Just listen to your body – it will tell you what it needs – and don’t worry about the weight thing. You don’t say how long you have been transitioning/totally raw. If you are sti…
  • Thanks Rawpease. Whilst I’m not a Chinese medicine expert, I have taken the advice from these pages and it is helping. I live in a cold and wet climate and this time of year I have been eating roasted parsnips, carrots and celery root in the last we…
  • Thanks Sweetpea. I think I now know where I am going wrong as my diet contains alot of avocado, nuts and tropical fruit…...... I have upped my intake of spices in the last few days and root vegetables, and whether it is co-incidental or not, I am fe…
  • Thanks so much to you all for replying to my cry for help. I got very confused because TCM and macrobiotic sites talk about yang foods in slightly different ways. I’m ploughing through all of the recommended links. I love the ideas for including war…
  • I agree with Kellygoneraw about taking it slowly and having green smoothies. However I do eat nuts, but I make sure I don’t OD on them. For the food I take to work, I take 6 or 7 almonds. It doesnt sound alot, but if you need to take the edge off th…
