• stylestacey, once you stop eating salt, garlic, etc. (particularly salt), it gets easier and easier. After a couple of weeks or so, you'll enjoy your simple foods and won't miss the salt and spices at all. As Bananna said, The 80/10/10 Diet has a bu…

• I rarely ever juice anything and when I do, it's no more than a few ounces of OJ. Any more than that and I feel nauseated, likely due to the lack of fiber and rapid uptake of sugar. Here are a couple of articles I wrote about juicing and juice fast…

• Agave nectar, even if it's "raw", is just a sweetener. As long as you use it minimally (maybe a tsp or two in a recipe), it really doesn't matter. Here's an article I wrote about "raw" sweeteners: http://www.fitonraw.com/2010/02/raw-sweeteners-raw-a…

• marta, 1) Yes, it rocks. :) However, how fast you experience results depends upon your current position. While almost everyone experiences some sort of progression within the first few days (i.e. improved digestion, more energy, better sleep, etc.),…

• rawmamanibbles, I actually started 80/10/10 one year ago yesterday. While it was very hard and I had many setbacks, I’m really glad that I started in winter. It made the next summer all that more pleasant and easy! :) I think the trick for me then (…

• Sometimes I love plain lemon juice on a salad, but most of the time I use variations of this dressing: 1 cucumber, juice from 1 lemon, 2 scallions, 3 ounces Hass avocado, and a little bit of water. If that's too bland for you, you could always had a…

• Whole Foods is a private business. If they choose not to negotiate with unions, so be it. They have the right to do so. If people don’t like it, they have a choice not to shop or work there. Swayze :)

• Yes, monomeals definitely comes later. I ate 2-3 different fruits in one meals for many months. I did not even try to start monomealing…it just happened that way. Now, it’s very hard for me to mix fruits. Smoothies are almost out of the question (wh…
