• joanna, that sucks. You should show her an example of a fruit's composition on nutridiary. There's no way she can counter that! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to winter this year! I'm still not ready for cold weat…

• delaluna, I personally did not lose hair when I went raw, but many people have had that experience for the first few weeks to a few months after going raw. Swayze

• Good to see you again, lulush! Good luck on transitioning back to lfrv. It definitely gets easier the more you do it. :) delaluna, you might not be eating enough. Try increasing the amount of fresh fruit you eat, while keeping your fat intake low, …

• fonky, I can't think of one restaurant that I've been to where there was no raw foods whatsoever. You can always get a salad of just lettuce and tomatoes. I like to bring my own fruit, like grapes, with me to put on the salad. I've even brought an …

• Thanks guys. I've tried pretty much every method known to man, but to no avail. Luckily, there is an excellent vendor at one of my farmer's markets that chooses for me. I just finished some of a giant watermelon he picked for me yesterday. Delicio…

• I had a banana melon for the first time recently. It's very similar to musk melon, but slightly muskier. I still prefer musk melon as my favorite melon. :) I also tried a yellow watermelon from my farmer's market. Very sweet! I've had two so far an…

• joanna, thanks for the concern. I walked outside to get my weights and just kind of fell off the porch and onto my ankle. I'm alright now. Actually, I used to sprain my right ankle so often that it was permanently swollen for YEARS! I forgot how big…

• Awesome job, joanna! :D I sprained my ankle this past Tuesday so I've been trying to rest the past couple days. I've noticed that without exercise, I don't enjoy my fruit nearly as much. I actually was slighted tempted by the hot dogs and chili my …

• rawaholic (love the name), thanks so much! Yea, I did the gourmet raw thing for about 2 weeks...until I actually calculated how much fat I was eating (600-800 calories per day). That did it for me. Swayze

• pixx, I had the same experience with hummus and fallafel. I used to LOVE both of these. I tried them last year after almost an entire year without them...yuck, so dry and salty. joannabanana, I've never had carob powder myself, but I've heard other…

• Ditto iluvlife and sv3, you can't be too hard on yourself. It's just food! :) "I finally felt full and sated for the first time in a long time." Yep, you probably aren't eating enough. Even though raw foods are certainly "lighter" than cooked food…

• So far today: 10 mangoes I visited the orchard this morning so I'll definitely be having lots of peaches for dinner. Then I'll probably make some raw pasta. Swayze

• joanna, I probably overhype them, but mangoes are awesome in a dressing. They provide that nice creaminess you are missing. Try the always delicious tomato, mango and cilantro combo. Awesome job on Day 4, btw. :) neskalee, for full grown cats/dogs…

• lulush, sounds like a deliciously raw day. What is courgette? A type of green, perhaps? neskalee, I feed my pets raw meat, bones and organs, with a focus on raw meat. The ratio is actually close to 80/10/10, with 80% meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ. …

• neskalee, great job on the weight loss! It seems like you are really getting a hang of your diet. Having good support like you do helps too. :) pixx, I'm just so glad I didn't listen to my vet. I'm sure she would be gone by now if I had. I've heard…

• "Yea, I'm not pissed at myself, though, swayze, I am pissed at the docs. Why don't *they* know better?? (I mean, yeah, I know that they get very little training in nutrition--but why the heck not??)" I hear ya. Unfortunately, the general public doe…

• 16% is still very good, especially considering the average American eats around 40% fat and the average raw foodist 60% fat! Swayze

• I used to get horrible charlie horse cramps in my calves and feet almost weekly. I haven't experienced them at all since switching to a high fruit, low fat diet. Most of it has to do with dehydration and not enough oxygen in the body.

  in Leg cramps - Charley Horse? Comment by swayze
• There's no "list," just live a healthy lifestyle. Eat lots of sweet fruit, a moderate amount of greens, and limit your fat intake. Make sure to get enough rest, sleep, sunshine, and exercise. The only product I use is coconut oil after my shower. I …

• I had some pretty ugly stretch marks on the sides of my waist and my breasts. Since going low fat raw vegan and losing about 15 pounds, the marks have visibly been reduced. You can still see them, but just barely. They just look like little scars. T…
