• Quiora and jussicaaah – have a wonderful cleanse. :) I need to start a cleanse too, I just can’t seem to get myself to do it. I’m thinking of starting between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the Jewish High Holy Days. We have a big family dinner on tho…

• hee hee, this is fun. The first movie I ever saw in the theater was the first Star Wars; I was six. My grandma took me, and I think I may have dozed off in the middle. But from that day on, I’ve always aspired to live like a Jedi. Even as an adult, …

• I’ve been a fan from the beginning! I have owls in my yard, and a couple of summers ago the baby would swoop over my deck, and hang out on it! I used to sit out there and talk to my owl, while reading my HP books! I know, I’m a geek. Hmmm, favorite …

• Caleb: I guess I should rephrase what I wrote: it wasn’t each piece of fruit, it was each snack of fruit. So I ate a dessert of 2 blended bananas, 1 tbls. of raw cacao powder, and 10 strawberries cut up on top of the pudding. I think that meal was a…

• I’ve recently started tracking, since I’ve been eating mostly following the 80/10/10 diet. So I”m eating mostly just fruit, some veggies, no nuts, a little bit of sprouted grains, and a little bit of overt fat from avocados. Yesterday, when I was lo…

• yes! Me too; my daughter is allergic to nuts and I was going so crazy with eating them all the time that she was breaking out in hives all summer! So all nuts and most seeds are now out of my house, and I won’t bring them back in! I turned to The 80…

• it is true that toxins being released through the breast milk can be passed onto babies; women should avoid detoxing while lactating. However, breast milk with toxins is still better than formula toxins.

• Vicllo – my daughter is only 6, and while she’s been raised as vegetarian and has never eaten meat, and very little dairy (she was allergic to dairy until last year, and I don’t bring dairy into the house) I don’t force her to eat raw. She loves fru…

• Vicllo – don’t give up! I recommend reading the book The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr. Douglas Graham, it really helped me change my perspective about how to get optimal nutrients. When I first went raw, I kept eating so many nuts/seeds but my daughter is al…

• I need one, but that recipe you linked to is way too complex and has nuts. I need a nut free version. I’m thinking of trying wheat berries (since that is what I have) blended with dates, ground chia seeds, and apple. If my experiment works, I’ll let…

• I use sprouted grains sparingly. I basically use them instead of nuts in dessert/bread type recipes. Sprouted wheat berries and dates make a nice base for a bread. :)
