• Hey Kelly, Well.......... the colonics helped!! I feel so much better. I have to avoid dehydrated foods because they usually involve nuts and such which stop me up big time. I highly recommend colonics and green juices/foods. 180 degrees from where…

• Hey Kelly, I saw this post and it so reminded me of myself when I first started Raw 2 months ago. I was so stopped up! I talked to a Raw nutritionist and she highly suggested colonics 1-2 x a week for the first 3 weeks then one a month or so until …

  in Food as medicine:I'm soo proud! Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• I wish I could sat there's a magic trick to sticking with it but there isn't. It takes a lot of will power and determination. If you're an all or nothing type personality, straying even a bit is not an option. I am an all or nothing type so I don't …

  in new to raw.. questions about juicing! Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• If you are new to Raw I would highly suggest making 75% of your juice green. This includes kale, celery, cucumbers, spinach, chard, beet greens, zucchini, etc.... Make sure all of the ingredients are organic. You can also add in a few root vegetable…

  in new to raw.. questions about juicing! Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• I agree with Waterbaby, you need a bit more in the way of nuts and seeds. Not a ton, just a few. I use Nutiva Hemp Protein powder and I feel it fills me up better than any other powder I've tried. I mix it with almond milk and greens powder and some…

• Hi Hannah, I have had bouts of queezyness and I talked to a nutritionist about it. She suggested to speed up the detox and be rid of the effects faster that I get a series of colonics. I start next week so I'll let you know if it works:) Nicole

  in MSM Comment by TheFitnessFreak

  in MSM Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• The only time I felt queezy after making my green juice was when I put some mustard greens in. I felt like I was going to throw up for about an hour. I threw the mustard greens in the trash straight away:)

• Thanks Waterbaby! I am having a colonic next week so I'm hoping it will work it's way through. We'll see:)

  in Why in the world....... Comment by TheFitnessFreak

  in Need Spanish Uncookbook/Website Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• Hey Sheik, I would say if you added hemp protein powder to a smoothie and a bit more avocado and nuts/seeds to your other meals, you would be able to maintain your weight. You could eat more in the beginning to gain weight and then just taper off u…

  in Pasteurized Almonds Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• Thanks for the info Pixx and Superfood 2! I only use the almonds for almond milk and sometimes Raw Granola. I'll have to check out the almonds from Spain. Where do you order them Pixx?

  in Pasteurized Almonds Comment by TheFitnessFreak
• I was just listening to Dr. Fred Bisci and he said he ate more fruit when he was active. Now that he is less active he eats less fruit but each individual is different. If you are very active and need the energy have the fruit. It's the constant hig…

• Thanks Kelly and Pixx! I will take all of the info to heart and watch my fat intake too. I workout a lot so I feel like I need a little fat for back-up energy:)

• Hey mmmorgans, I too am an all or nothing person. I found that I just have to make less nuts and more fruit available. When I'm in a crunchy mood I make a batch of Cheezee kale chips and then I'm fine for a while. I read the BEST book the other day…

  in Good dehydrator? Comment by TheFitnessFreak
