• Here is a link to Tonya Kay's No-Willpower approach to going raw. I think it's probably the best and easiest way to transition. Enjoy, Swayze

• That's awesome! I've been wearing my fivefingers for almost 2 years now and I love them. I don't think I have the guts to go completely barefoot, though. I have a big gross-out thing with my bare feet touching soil. Swayze

• UPDATE: I just met quite a few at a lecture with Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes this past Wednesday here in Memphis. I know that doesn't count, since it was a raw function. But it was pretty interesting none the less. Swayze

• No, but I'm seeing it mentioned A LOT on TV and in movies...Baby's Mama, Food Network, last night on Bored to Death. I have been meeting a lot of vegetarians who dabble in veganism lately though...one of my professors, my hairdresser... I can't bel…

• You could just respond that you don't have all the answers yet. You just know that eating a cooked food diet has not given you the results you want and so you are experimenting with other options. Simple and it leaves little room for argument. :) …

• zinfandel, I have not had any nuts and seeds in many months and very little avocado and yet I feel fine. spekgirl, that meal plan looks fine. Just make sure you eat enough sweet fruit to satisfy you. :) Swayze www.fitonraw.com

• Hi Phedre, welcome to the site! A simple way to start is to begin your day with a fruit smoothie. Try 3 bananas, 1-2 cups of blueberries and some water blended together. You'll be amazed at what having a healthy breakfast can do for your body and yo…

• I think the turning point (or the "ah hah" moment as I call it) is a huge misconception. For me, there was no moment where the light bulb went off and I could suddenly go 100% raw. Instead, it was a lot of small successes that finally lead me to 100…

  in For those who are 100% raw Comment by swayze
• That combo sounds fine to me. Most veggies combine well with almost all sweet fruits (and fatty foods, for matter), due to the high water content and low amounts of simple sugars. Tender greens, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squa…

• I've been eating a low fat, high fruit diet since late 2007. It definitely works for me! There are plenty of others on this board that eat lfrv...AVL and superfood2, I believe. I'm sure they'll be around to add their 2 cents. You should definitely…

• I don't know if it will get rid of it "forever." I've been eating raw for a while now and yet I still get a little tiny bump here or there if I, say, cut back on sleep or eat too much fat or spend too much time in a heavily polluted area. Swayze  

  in Acne... Comment by swayze
• I never had acne until I gave up salt (I had been raw for quite a few months). I got little tiny red bumps that started on my forehead and migrated down to my temples. This lasted about 4 months and then they gradually disappeared. That was definite…

• You can also just spray garlic water on your pets before you go outdoors. Also, the Neem Protect Spray is supposed to work really well. Swayze

• Food grade Diatomaceous Earth. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. We got fleas for the first time this summer from my dog. It sucked, but there was no way I was going to flea bomb my house or put chemicals on my pets. I did some research…

• I agree with Tulip. It's best to avoid eating when you're distracted. That said, if you're new to raw and worried that you'll eat popcorn or candy if you don't have something healthy munch on, bring some fruit. I used to bring a bag of grapes with m…

• Hope things are going better for you, starrfish. If not, you might want to try fasting for a day or two or just eating mono fruit meals until your digestion returns to normal. Swayze

• Jennifer Cornbleet's book was the first raw book I ever bought. It almost completely discouraged me from sticking with raw foods. The recipes took so much time and nothing except for the fatty desserts tasted very good. Instant Raw Sensations by Fr…

• Fruit, fruit, and more fruit! :) Quick question: are you saying that the break between 11am and 2pm is a long time between meals? I would say that you are not eating enough. I regularly eat a meal of fruit at 10am and do not eat again until 3pm. Th…
