• Thank you both! It sounds like I'll steer clear from chickpeas, but I'm excited to try the mung beans, Adzuki and sunflower seeds. Where do you usually buy these?

• I have found that besides the enormous amount of health benefits it provides, the raw foods diet is THE way to go for weight loss without being deprived. I eat plenty of fat in avocados (one whole one a day sometimes), almonds, seeds and olive oil (…

• I agree that low body weight can make you very cold all the time. My weight got very low one year, and I have never had such a horrible winter! I added healthy fats to my diet, gained some weight and now I probably suffer only as much as the average…

• Raw vs. cooked onion Artemis- great question about raw vs. cooked onion. I personally love onion and add it to most salads, but I can only tolerate it raw. Cooked onion makes my stomach sick and makes me gassy...so perhaps that study would have had …

• Troubles, I know what you mean about "fitting in"; more than anything I feel like if it is a relief for my friends who are trying to make plans with me. One thing I don't like about being raw is having others alter their plans because I can't eat or…

• Thanks for the feedback! I agree that it's not ideal. I'm getting married and my friends are throwing me a bachelorette party, so I might have a glass or two just for that occasion, then stay away from it. Thanks again- and the green juice sounds li…

• It helps to know that so many people have had the same problem that I have had!! Giving up coffee has been WAY harder than giving up cooked food for me. I just crave the taste; I know that my body doesn't need the caffeine. It has helped me to have …
