• Enemas and colonics are largely unnecessary, especially if you are eating a low fat, high fruit raw vegan diet. If you feel like you need to flush out your system, this is a good sign that you are not properly digesting your foods and that your diet…

• The common way to find out how many calories you need is to multiply your ideal weight by 10. This will give you your basic metabolic rate (how much your body burns if you were bedridden). Then, add the approximate amount of calories you burn doing …

• Moth, hehehe…my dog also enjoys stealing my fruit on occasion. She really likes cantaloupe, I think because it might have a similar texture to raw meat. Yuck… Even my maine coon is doing it now! The other night, I was watching a movie with a big bow…

• Yes, sometimes dogs and cats do eat grass, but it is just eliminated from their bodies. In fact, sometimes my dog decides to eat grass from the backyard. When she does this, she has a hard time eliminating. The grass that she ate actually comes out …

• Dogs are carnivores. While just like any other animal, they can survive on just about any diet, they can only thrive on the foods that they have evolved eating. I have an 11 year old border collie and 3 adult cats that have been feeding raw meat, bo…

• Caleb, 80/10/10 is actually very easy to maintain. I go to the supermarket 2x per week and spend no more than 15 minutes inside (that’s including the line wait). As far as food preparation, it’s virtually non-existent. Bananas require no preparation…

• lzhpt, I just wanted to add that 10% protein is the maximum amount of daily protein. It’s totally fine if you don’t make this number…In fact, I’ve never hit 10% eating 80/10/10. The most I’ve gotten is around 8%. Usually, I’m between 5-7%. Also, gre…

• Fujis, then Galas. I used to like green apples before I went raw, but that was when I ate them with copious amounts of peanut butter. Their sourness makes them inedible on their own. Swayze

• Eat as much fresh, ripe sweet fruit (e.g. bananas, mangoes, peaches, strawberries, grapes, oranges, etc.) as you care for, eat a moderate amount of greens (e.g. romaine, bib lettuce, etc.) and non-sweet fruits (e.g. tomatoes, cucumber, etc.), and li…

• I use only water for body, face, and hair. I brush with a synthetic bristle brush after my shower to redistribute the oils and it makes my hair really soft and shiny. I've never liked the look of my hair more...and I barely do anything to it! :D Sw…

• Oooh, peaches and mangoes is another good combo, blended or just chopped up together. :) Swayze

• Oh my gosh, you're so lucky! I pick peaches every week at my local orchard, but I would love to have my own trees! As far as recipes, chopped peaches and blueberries mixed together in a bowl is awesome. :) Swayze

• Hi Evelina! Wow, you went vegetarian at 14 years old?! Good for you! :) Going raw is super simple (simpler than going cooked vegetarian or vegan, in my opinion). Make sure you eat as much sweet fruit as you care for, limit your fat intake, and get …

• Congrats on day 1, Katrin! Just make sure to eat lots of sweet, ripe fruit, limit your fat intake, and get in some non-sweet fruit and greens and you'll do just fine. :) Swayze

• Haha, I agree: I'm just too lazy to make smoothies! But green smoothie are definitely okay on 80/10/10. A very tasty one is 3 bananas, 2 cups blueberries, and 1 handful of romaine. I also really like the banana-strawberry-mint combo. :) Swayze www.f…
