• EvaAfrica, I used to use baking soda as a kind of shampoo and then vinegar as a conditioner. It works pretty well. Just mix 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Baking soda in water and then a tablespoon or so of in another glass of water. Use the baking soda-wa…

• I tried no poo back in 2008 and it was terrible! My hair was extremely greasy and just looked disgusting. I lasted for a few months and then switched to natural products (Dr. Bonners, Vermont Soap, etc.). After a couple of years using these product…

• How about raw salsa! I have a salt and spice-free version on my blog that's delicious (goneraw won't let me post the link). Just type in 'salsa' in the search field. :) Swayze  

  in tired of salad Comment by swayze
• I would bring enough fruit for the first 3-4 days (lots of easy to transport food likes bananas) and make sure to buy more when I arrived so that it had time to ripen. I would also bring a small cutting board, a knife, and perhaps a blender. I actu…

• The fact that you can eat an entire bag, 1000 calories worth says that you are not eating enough from sweet fruit. Get rid of the buckwheat and eat more fruit! Swayze www.fitonraw.com/blog

• Your Questions: #1: Typically people see results almost immediately. I didn't have much weight to lose, but I lost about 6 pounds (water weight) within the first week or so. That said, there are some who do gain weight at first. Read Freelea's post…

• You're right, it is the glucose that keeps us going, and the best way to get this is by eating raw, sweet fruit, as much as you care for. You definitely don't need a dehydrator for that. In fact, you'll do better without one. Swayze  

  in How do you get carbs without a dehydrator? Comment by swayze
• No one can live on salad alone! Give up the zucc and squash and get your calories from delicious sweet fruit. Swayze  

  in Stomach aches and "another" issue Comment by swayze
• "When I get hungry I get really irritable and dizzy, so I am scared to try one just yet." No biggie, I can totally relate. I always got terrible headaches, stomach cramps, etc. if I waited too long between meals. This is not longer an issue, though…

• Sounds like a great plan, crazydoglady. :P Oh, and another great way to transition to simpler foods is to fast for a day or two (drink nothing but water). You'll be amazed how much your taste buds change in such a short time and how much you really…

  in Banana Island. Comment by swayze
• Banana Island is awesome for getting back on track with raw. The key is to eat as many bananas as you can and drink lots and lots of water. Whenever you have any sort of craving for cooked food, go eat bananas. This is not something that's recommend…

• I'm sure there are people who obsess over eating healthfully, just like there are individuals who obsessively exercise, obsessively play video games, obsessively watch TV, etc. Too much of anything is never a good thing. The rest of the crap info o…

• How much fruit are you eating? If you are eating enough sweet fruit to fuel your body, than you should not be craving sweets at all. Swayze

  in Fear of fruit... Comment by swayze
• Greens should make up about 2-6% of your caloric consumption. That works out to about 1-2 pounds a day, depending, but you certainly don't have to start out eating this much. I hated plain greens, cucumbers, etc. when I first went raw and did not to…

  in How to deal with non-raw family? Comment by swayze

  in An article I read on B12 - thoughts? Comment by swayze
• If you've eaten too much fat and are really feeling it, the last thing you want to eat is sweet fruit soon afterward. Instead, just take a break from food for the rest of the day and resume with simple fruits and veggies the next day. Swayze
