• Personally, I believe that women are not supposed to bleed (or should bleed very little). Humans and domesticated wolves are the only animals that regularly bleed. I believe this blood loss is due to our over processed diets and sedentary (yet over …

  in Light period since becoming raw Comment by swayze
• It's typical for women on high fruit, low fat to have very light periods or none at all. ajchanter, I'm in the same boat...I no longer bleed. For a few days every month I feel a slight sensation in my lower abdomen (not painful at all) and my disch…

• It's almost like a "rite of passage" for a raw foodist to go back and try their old favorite foods, only to discover that they no longer taste the same and have unsatisfactory results. I know I've been there more than once. :) Swayze

• My bad...guess I missed that. :) 100% raw is still vague, though. That doesn't tell us exactly what is being eaten. Swayze

• It's hard to give any advice without knowing what you are eating. "70-100% raw" is pretty vague. Swayze

• Yes, it took me a while to finally realize that all that junk food was just that...junk. I may have loved it, but it certainly didn't love me back. Now beautiful fruits, they love me...they really love me! ;) Swayze

• Good article, thanks. It's nice to remind myself that I don't consume any of these on raw. :) Swayze

• Arrrrggg...how annoying! Valeria, you definitely don't want to use a synthetic brush for skin brushing. You want a natural bristle brush. I use two separate brushes, one for my face and one for the rest of my body. A quick amazon search should help…

• It's important to keep things in perspective. Eating raw fresh produce as opposed to cooked food is always a better choice. I ate 100% conventional produce for over a year. The organic stuff was overpriced and bad quality. I would rather have great…

  in I love raw food! Comment by swayze
• "The big tip is never, ever deprive yourself, and always make sure you have more food with you than you really need." That's a great tip. It can take a while to really learn how much food you need in a given day or week, as well as which foods you …

• iluvlife, gluten was definitely one of the hardest things for me to give up, much more than meat and cheese. I was vegan before I went raw and the bulk of my calories came from grains (i.e. sprouted bread, whole wheat pasta, etc.). I felt so tired a…

• I agree with AVL. There's no need to worry about going 100% right away. It just leads to frustration and guilt if you are not able to succeed. I only wish I had made a slower transition to raw, instead of forcing 100% from the get go. This would ha…

• It's interesting how the article never says what exactly she and her children were eating. Of course the children would be underweight, if the focus of their diet was on low-calorie greens instead of fruit. Swayze

• Misty, you might want to go super simple for a week and see what that does for you. Try just mono-meals of fruit. That way you won't have to worry about preparing a whole separate meal for yourself. You will already know what to eat and how much. M…

• Great post, pixx! I consider a proper meal one that fills me up, satisfies my taste buds, and provides optimal fuel. No cooked meal can accomplish all three criteria...only raw foods can! Swayze  

  in Good recipes to transition with? Comment by swayze
• You don't need any fancy equipment to go raw. In fact, the less you use the better because you will be eating foods in their whole, raw states. For your breakfast and lunch meals, you can easily rely on whole sweet fruit, as much as you care for. T…

• Are you getting enough calories on a daily basis? I know that many juice feasters rely on low-calorie green juices and end up undereating on calories. Try adding fruit juices to the mix or, even better, whole fruits. Best of luck to you, Swayze

• I really liked spiralized or hand peeled cucumber with blended tomatoes, mango, and cilantro on top (about a 2:1 ratio of tomato to mango). It's soooo delicious. :) You could also try peaches instead of mangos, since they are in season right now. …

• No problem AVL and christianmom! :) No, high fruit, low fat raw is not the mainstream at all. It has certainly grown in numbers in just the last couple of years though. Check out 30BAD...over 1000 members now! :) Swayze
