• I think "predominately raw" would describe your diet.

  in How do I know what % raw I am? Comment by sisterbecky
• Yes, I am curious too as to what they are eating when they try to go raw and get so cold?

  in feeling cold and tired while eating lot's of raw - are there some solutions? Comment by sisterbecky
• Your green smoothie fast? I'm curious, are you just adding some fruit (banana or mango) to tender greens? Or is it a more complicated than that? Oh, and congrads!

  in At long last I finally did it! Comment by sisterbecky
• Sassyraw, For context first, I want to say I'm vegetarian (not eggs, but still some dairy. Have been trying to give it up sometimes) and generally high raw. (not 100% except for one month at first). I'm trying to really listen to my body (not just d…

  in u kno am till new....some confusing things comeup!!! Benefits of full raw vegan compared 2 a cooking Comment by sisterbecky
• Hopefully you hang around some and still post. I have enjoyed many of your posts. I've personally found it can be very easy to get "sucked into" disagreements and topics on forums and it can bring you down sometimes. I try to take a small step back …

• Not trying to be noisy, but are you sure you need to loose 10 pounds in 20 days? My advice would be just lots of fresh greens and fruit, get moderate exercise, plenty of sleep. But, don't be starving yourself. Or wear yourself out over exercising. B…

  in need some help. Comment by sisterbecky
• Correction to my last post. Here is the link, and there is one reply at the bottom (worth checking out). It looks like the thread just started yesterday, so Dr. Graham hasn't personally answered it yet. You may be able to chime into the discussion a…

  in DETOXing..... Comment by sisterbecky
• Agnes, something else to think of. I found this short email question on "vegsource" that may apply to you. For some reason I couldn't copy the link? So, I cut and pasted it. (my computer skills are a bit lacking, sorry) I didn't find the answer to t…

  in DETOXing..... Comment by sisterbecky
• Agnes, my experience (and opinion) on detoxing may be a bit different from others. I also have not had candida problems. But, you did ask for our personal experiences on going 811. I've eaten high raw for several months, and did a month almost 100% …

  in DETOXing..... Comment by sisterbecky
• Really sore muscles? That doesn't sound right to me. Slight headach from say lack of coffee (if you use to drink coffee and your in withdrawls), but a lot of pain? What have you been eating? What were you eating before? (Did you just come from a rea…

  in WHAT TO DO..?? Comment by sisterbecky
• Take your time. Read lots of stuff, and even though antidotal has it's place- there is a lot of questionable science out there. Look for good sources sited in articles. Definately go easy on yourself. And about the meds. I personally would go easy o…

  in I need some direction in going RAW Comment by sisterbecky
• I would go with waterbabies advice on not making an issue of it. I generally eat high raw to some days all raw. Have been for months. No one really notices- not my coworkers or even my family. I've been vegetarian for almost a decade (that they noti…

  in kind of dreading it... Comment by sisterbecky
• I occasionally drink beer and wine. More wine (since I make it) than beer. I've noticed my desire for it has lessened. I tend to have about a third of a glass of wine, and fill the rest with water. I don't eat 100% raw (just pretty high raw, some da…

• I'm not trying to argue that many doctors will tell you that you could be deficient when you are not. I agree with that point, that they may make a general statement. But, I would find out what "borderline anemic" actually is. The doctor should be a…

  in Need help with Iron deficiency Comment by sisterbecky
• Ah ha:-) A junk food junky. Seriously though, here are some thoughts. What fruits and vegetables do you like? I would start with those. If you like bananas, apples, and grapes- try having a fruit salad for breakfast every morning. Just try changing …

  in Not sure if I can do this... Comment by sisterbecky
• Abbie, Just some thoughts that I'm throwing out at you. If they don't help, ignore them. First off, you may want to consider what kind of diet you "came from." Before you went raw (a few days ago?), where you vegan, vegetarian, much of a healthy eat…

  in Not sure if I can do this... Comment by sisterbecky
• Mikfizzle, I second (or third:-) the hemp. I sprinkle a tablespoon or so on salads or in smoothies. It is a complete protein, and compared to other sources (that are not vegan or vegetarian even) it is VERY nutritious! I also like the taste. Quinoia…

  in So Angry! Comment by sisterbecky
• I recently bought Graham's 80/10/10 book- and YES he recommends large salads of tender greens. It seems like people get so wrapped up in the fruit thing, and the large salads don't get mentioned so much. To my understanding, you may be eating in vol…

  in why are so many on this site afraid of fruit? Comment by sisterbecky
• Someone was asking about where people are hearing about vegans having b-12 problems: I personally do not know any vegans, and few vegetarians. I believe it is a push to better educate vegans so they don't run into problems down the road (it can take…

  in why are so many on this site afraid of fruit? Comment by sisterbecky
• Just to add some thoughts to the debate on B-12. Some possibilities on why "we" may need supplements, and our ancestors did not. Our ancestors very well may have needed supplements. They wouldn't have had blood tests to tell them. Though, even if yo…

• More links for anyone interested in Vitamin B-12. These are from "Vegan Outreach" and have sited sources (good to know where they are getting their info). http://www.veganoutreach.org/health/b12letter.html http://www.veganhealth.org/b12/hcy http://w…

  in why are so many on this site afraid of fruit? Comment by sisterbecky
• I haven't read all the replies to this thread, but I wanted to chime in with my 2 cents about the vitamin B-12. I would highly recommend lLlushka8's suggestion about the supplements if you are vegan raw. I generally do not take supplaments/vitamins …

• This may sound strange- but do you need to lose much weight? If you are quite a bit over weight, it seems the pounds drop off faster. If your just wanting to trim off 10 to 20 pounds, I think it may take a bit longer since your already pretty close …

  in :( Not losing weight Comment by sisterbecky
• I may have to visit my amazon account and see if they have any more used books left. Your raw adventures sound very similar to mine. Even though I don't stay 100% all the times, my diet is probably 100% better than when I was a teenager. I've been e…

• Have you thought of trying reiki? I have never actually gone to a reiki session (but know several people who have), but I have attended a session that was very similar (from the description) to reiki (it was a "healing" service that sounds very simi…

  in Come on people cant I gain weight?!? please!? Comment by sisterbecky
• My guess (just a guess) from your list of food is that you are not getting enough calories- seriously. I know it sounds like you are eating a lot. But, unless your really hitting the nuts, seeds, and such really heavy- you probably are under calorie…

  in Come on people cant I gain weight?!? please!? Comment by sisterbecky
• I know this sounds silly- but first off, try to take a deep breath and relax:-) The stress your in is just as unhealthy as about anything you could eat. Try to remember that the health and wellbeing is the most important thing- more important than "…

  in Come on people cant I gain weight?!? please!? Comment by sisterbecky
• "Do you think this is suitable for the raw food diet?" For me, yes. I steam some vegetables. I am not so worried about the 100%raw label though. For some people, being on an 100% raw food diet is important to them. In the end, you need to decide wha…

  in Steaming Broccoli?? Comment by sisterbecky
• I thought the "give it to me raw" response was pretty good. Eat good foods, exercise, get enough sleep, etc. I don't believe that eating raw can always keep you from getting sick. But, I think the healthy choices involved decrease your chances.
