• Thanks for the article, Sweet Adeline! That site has a whole bunch of great articles on raw foods and health. Onions certainly won't kill you, but they are not an ideal food. Whenever I do have them, I can smell it in my sweat the next day. I tend t…

• eecho, I bring grapes to the theater too! Way better than popcorn. I even bring them to restaurants (when I actually go to them) and put them on a salad. :) Swayze

• AVL, I used to freeze grapes and do the exact same thing at night. It really worked for me. It seems great minds think alike. :D Swayze

• "2) They are a hoax. Nothing sticks to the inside of the colon, its just a matter of time before it is all passed through. The fecal matter coming out is simply the stuff that was in the process of being passed already (intestines are 36 ft long)." …

• How high is your fat intake? Excess fat allows the sugar you consume from fruits to stay in the bloodstream for too long. This allows the candida numbers to flourish instead of dieing off like they should, leading to thrush. I would completely elim…

• Really? Florida sounds like a great place to live for fruit! So many tropical varieties are grown there...sapodilla, mamey, jakfruit, mango, etc. Swayze

• Nice to have you here, Shay. I'm from Tennessee and there aren't many raw foodists here either. Having these forums really helps provide a sense of community. :) Swayze

• Agreed! This site and 30BAD are the only raw forums I visit. I have a GITMR account, but I hardly ever visit there...too much bickering and nonsense. Swayze

  in Does anyone else love the support on this site?!?!! =] Comment by swayze
• Yep, definitely depends on the person. Some people can have a little bit of steamed veggies or stir fry and not fall completely off the wagon. Others can't and so it would be better for them to just consume a little bit more fat. Swayze

• I saw on your other thread that you have been eating less food. I encountered this last year on raw. I started eating less and less calories and felt fine at first. Then, gradually cravings started coming back. First it was nuts and avocado, then ch…

• Perhaps you are under eating on calories? Try adding more calorically dense sweet fruit into your diet. If you are craving something dense, try mixing half of a small avocado with about a pound of diced tomatoes and a little lime juice. I find this…

• Food grade DE is great! I do not use it on myself or consume it, but on my pets to keep fleas and ticks away. It's just the fossilized bodies of plant organisms in a powder form. It penetrates the bug's body and dries out their insides. I had fleas…

• After I quit consuming salt, I got little tiny red bumps along my forehead. I got more and more until they were all the way down to my temples. They lasted for about 4 months and then gradually disappeared. That was the worst part of my detox. Swa…

  in Is this normal? Comment by swayze
• Yes, it's pretty fun when you've been raw for a while and you realize, "Hey, I don't use this (insert useless appliance here) anymore!" I don't even remember the last time I used our giant kitchen aid mixer! Swayze

• Parsley is considered a mild herb (like cilantro and basil), but most people factor it in with their green consumption. I enjoy parsley, but can't eat a whole bowl of it. Celery is actually a member of the parsley family. I often eat the leaves as …

• I definitely suggest you talk to your family first about your diet. Simply tell them how you feel eating vegan and how much you would appreciate it if they would help you out during the trip. Try to set aside specific times during your trip when you…

• Great job on your first 30 days! The first 30 are definitely the most difficult. I second Parsley and food combining. Are you eating sweet fruit and fat together? You say that you eat "minimal nuts," but often times people don't realize how little…

  in Help! I don't get it! Comment by swayze
• Are you getting enough calories in general? It is very common to crave fatty foods like nuts when we simply aren't eating enough. Try upping your intake of sweet fruit. Swayze
