• thanks kurite:) I feel like it's a bit of a food sensitivity, like you suggested...

• I get 8 hours a night, and after that point I wake up feeling like it's UP time...not that groggy, "uggghhhhh,....I need moooore..." kind of feeling. Even, like many others, 6 or 7 is fine too, it's just in my head that I MUST have 8 hours, and so t…

• Well well well...This is an interesting thread:) I have to say, most of the time we sit back and read nothing on this website that shakes us up. It seems like kurite has shaken the nest a bit, and now we're stirred up...makes for good reading though…

• You should know that people only comment because they feel a bit guilty about their own food choices. You're an example to them, a role model, that they (deep down?) feel they should follow but aren't ready/willing/brave enough to commit to followin…

• I'm definitely IN on this!:) I just finished reading the book, and I'm really excited...and a bit nervous, since I've always dealt with my emotions by eating, and that'll be tricky (maybe? maybe not?). From what I have learned from Dr. Graham's book…

• I've not been able to get green or purple cabbage to taste great in a smoothie, and I've REALLY tried. I do find that nappa cabbage isn't as cabbage-y....and blends well. My advice? Chug it down, and then chew some gum to forget the cabbage-ness of …

• Ohhhh leafygreen, you sound so much more understanding that I would be in your situation! you've inspired me to be more forbearing:) It's amazing to me, every time, how sensitive people are with what they don't eat. I mean, I'm the one eating the sa…

• yes, I DO feel a bit of embarrassment when people comment on my food, and this has been said over and over: Healthy food seems to elicit MORE of a response from unhealthy people than unhealthy food would from healthy people. It's absolutely shocking…

  in New to raw! advice please! Comment by tabbycats_tofu
• oh! I forgot to add: you need to find what works for you:) Maybe high-fruit is the thing for you, maybe greens in such abundance isn't the right way for you to go....you'll have to test it out:) How exciting!
