  • Having an avocado a day seems to help my skin and I have to live through crazy dry winters in Calgary, CANADA! I also found that when I stopped using any type of commercial face cleanser that my face improved as well.
  • I have been raw since January 2008 and I am blood type A, but I have not had this problem at all. I wish I could give you the easy answer, but I am not sure. I would just think of what you are missing in meat and fish when you go raw and get it from…

  • My mom and sister both have had constipation issues. They started drinking green smoothies for breakfast and lunch and now have no issues at all. They did go through a month or two of detox (gas, bloating) before they came out the other side. Now th…
  • Have you heard Sergei Buotenko's story? He is part of The Raw Family and he was diagnosed with Diabetes and was supposed to start taking insulin shots. His family decided to go cold turkey raw and he has no symptoms of diabetes and has never taken a…
  • I too am beginning my first raw pregnancy. This is my third pregnancy, but the first were before I went raw. I had pre-eclampsia with both of them and trouble beast feeding them due to digestive problems. I am hoping that being raw and having such a…
  • I have been pulling oil for a couple months now. My teeth are whiter and the sensitivity in my teeth has decreased quite a bit. I don't really have any medical problems that I was trying to cure doing this, I was just looking for a way to whiten my …
  • I agree, but I am truly hoping that this is just a transition in setting the new site up. We are lucky that we have access at all while the changes are being made. I really appreciate all the work being done to make the site better, and I am going t…
  • I am lucky that I spend my days at home with my young kids. They don't criticize what I eat! I can't imagine how it must feel to be scrutinized everyday. I think I would take to eating on my own outside or at my desk. If you need to eat with people …
  • I have often wondered if these make your water the quality of buying natural spring water. It would sure save a lot of plastic bottles.

  • This has been a struggle for me as well. I am aiming to spend $1200 a month for a family of four. I am 100% raw and my kids and husband are about 50% raw. I think that the combination of raw and SAD makes it more expensive than if we were all raw, b…
  • Hi I just started pulling oil about 10 days ago and have noticed my teeth are whiter and my skin in softer. I also seem to be getting rid of my problems with sensitive teeth. I don't find it gross at all but I do spit the yuckies into the toilet aft…
  • Green Smoothies! If you have a blender it takes two minutes to throw some greens and fruit in a blender. These are my answer to pretty much everything. I really feel for me that a raw diet would be impossible to maintain if these weren’t a big part …
  • Hi beate64 I am originally from Saskatoon, but now I live in Calgary. Welcome to gone raw! Green Girl (aka Krista)
  • Hi superkat92 The marathon is a daunting distance, but as long as you stick to your training schedule you will make it across the finish line. Running or shuffling across the finish line of a marathon for the first time is an amazing feeling. Not a …
  • I am running the Edmonton, Alberta half marathon on Sunday. It is supposed to be hot so thankfully we start at 7 AM. In October, I am running the Okanagan Marathon in Kelowna, British Columbia. I am actually from Calgary, Alberta, CANADA. That is a …
  • Hi guys I am a marathon runner as well. I have been mostly raw 99% since January and I am running my first raw marathon in October. I have noticed a huge difference in my running. My long runs feel easy and I am never out of breath. I carry dates wi…
  • Both of my kids have been drinking a little green smoothie for two days straight!!! I am very excited! This is a long transition period for me. I have been 100% raw for 7 months now, but transitioning my kids is sure a challenge. This is a great day…

  • Artistruth..I try to hit the farmer’s market every Friday morning. I find it challenging with two little ones. My son is a wanderer with no fear of getting lost and my daughter’s favorite word is “up”. She is much too big to be carried and it makes …

  • Hi Justine and Amysue I am a stay-at-home mom of two (3 1/2 yr old son, 2 yr old daughter). I am 100% raw, and try very hard to get my kids to eat 50% raw. I have only been raw since January, so it is still a new lifestyle adventure for me. My husba…

  • I am sure I am not the one to reply to this topic as I have a very limited social life. I am the mom of two very young kids and a non-drinker as well, but I thought I would throw out my opinion in case it helps. I went raw 6 months ago and have neve…

  • I went from SAD to Raw cold turkey. I started by doing a master cleanse and after cleansing for 15 days, I had no desire for cooked food at all. I spent my first week after the cleanse just drinking green smoothies because that is all I wanted and t…
  • I am a runner. I have finished a few marathons and many halfs but they were all pre-raw, so I am interested to see how things will go this time. I have been raw for 5 monthes now. I am starting training tomorrow for the Okanagan Marathon in October …
  • I am not sure how it works, but my scale takes into account my height, weight, age, whether I am an athlete or normal person, and your feet are supposed to be damp on the sensors. Sounds crazy, but I hope it is accurate.
    in fat loss Comment by green girl
  • Absolutely! I bought a new scale 5 months ago and when I measured my body fat it was 24. I was a little disappointed as I am a runner. Five months on raw food and I am down to 15% body fat. My weight has changed by only 7 lbs or so.

  • I would recommend adding a green smoothie to your daily diet. If you vary your greens everyday, you get plenty of amino acids which make up proteins. Here are some links and info on green smoothies. http://www.emaxhealth.com/14/1182.html http://www.…
    in Almost raw =) Comment by green girl
  • I started losing my hair when I was on a really low fat diet of just fruit, veggies and lean meat about 10 years ago. I haven’t had that problem since becoming a raw vegan 5 months ago, but I do eat a lot of avocados, nuts, coconut oil and olive oil…
  • Today I had a good one: 3 Pears, 1/2 blender of romaine, 2 bananas and water. I normally don’t like pears because of a texture issue, but my vitamix took care of that and it was sweet and yummy!
  • I don’t know much about the 80/10/10 diet, but the best way I know to get my greens is to have a green smoothie every morning for breakfast. Here are some links for info on green smoothies. http://www.emaxhealth.com/14/1182.html http://www.eatsprout…
  • I am 100% raw, but my husband is not. He is very supportive and has been drinking green smoothies every morning and even eating my suppers. He does eat whatever he wants at lunch though and his weekends are a lot more SAD than his weekdays. I am jus…
