• I love mine too! I use it everyday. But I was wonderning if anyone had a good suggestion on how to clean the "teeth" that hold the vegetable? I find that there is always some residue that I can't get off.

• American Yogini, the Spirooli is not that hard to clean and not all at hard to assembly. Hey, you are talking to a person who can't even assemble Kinder Surprise toys! The only tricky parts to clean are the blades, but I'm sure it's the same thing w…

• KMcR- I go it on this website that my brother sent me http://www.rawnutrition.ca/html/spiral_slicer.html The Spirooli cost $49.99 + tax + shipping, which came out to a price in the low 60s (I can't remember the exact price). I ordered it on Monday a…

• I always decline invitations too because I don't want to eat what they are making or they want to go to a restaurant where I can't eat anything. I'm sorry but I'm not paying $10 for a salad made with lettuce and 2 slices of tomato. I'll pay half tha…

• Wow so much good advice. Thanks guys. I had so much of them last night that I felt SO SICK to my stomach, I actually thought I was going to be sick. So I'm ok today, but I'll try to eat more fruit in order not to crave starchy foods and nuts and I'l…

• I've had the same problem as you, although I've only been raw for 3 weeks. My first week was fine and I didn't miss bread at all, but then during my second week I had the worst craving for it. At first I waited it out for a few days to see if it wou…

• Well I made a batch of raw brownies yesterday and eat the ENTIRE thing! So I'm pretty sure that would make you gain weight!

• Eat some avocados, nuts and seeds, and use olive oil on your salads. They are very healthy for you, but have more calories and fat than other raw foods. I you don't want to eat nuts or seeds just plain, you can make a lot of different things with th…

• KMcR, I never thought about putting dates in my smoothies! That sounds really good, it would taste nice a sweet. I'll have to try it. Ya you are pretty "close" to me (compared to most people in this forum). Btw, another crappy night. I went to my fr…

• KMcR So far I've been eating well today, with lots of veggies and fruit. So hopefully I will keep it up the rest of the day. My worst time is in the evening. However I still feel bloated with water retention today which is making me feel fat. So hop…

• Wow, there's so many different answers...I don't know what to do! I guess it does make sense that by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, my body will get rid of all unecessary water weight and it maight make me look less bloated. I guess if you c…

• Thanks Rubber Duck, Well for dinner, I kind of had a mish mash of things, because I felt like eating a lot of different things. I had: 1 mango, 1 orange, 1/4 cantaloupe, 1/4 avocado, goji berries, tried some chia seeds in a tiny amount of buckwheat …

• rubber duck, Thank you for your input. I started transitioning 2.5 weeks ago. I was vegetarian for 14 years, but ate eggs and fish. I started eating chicken, turkey, (no cheese) 3 years ago. So I wouldn't say I was eating a lot of meat, but a bit ev…

• THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!!!! So I went to the store today and bought chia seeds, hemp seeds, almonds and goji berries. The thing is that I'm trying to lose 5-10lbs so I don't know how much and how often I should eat seeds/nuts. Could anyone tell…

• Thank you! I put the VEGA powder in my smoothie in the morning with a banana, strawberries and spinach. What portion of seeds to you use? Could you send me a "sample day" of what you eat, so I can see if I'm on the right track?

• I'm also recovering from an eating disorder and just started to follow a raw vegan diet, with an emphasis on fruit. I never used to eat avocados because I was terrified of their fat content. But since starting this lifestyle change I can eat 1/2 avo…

• Ya, I know that the sickness is a great reminder! However, sometimes I "forget" how I felt the last time and the cycle continues! Oh man, I hope that one day I will learn from my mistakes & I can stop bingeing on crap.

• Kitty, I feel your pain. I had a binge yesterday on Ritz crackers, and I ate 1/2 a large box. I felt so sick from the gluten and the salt. I also felt very anxious and I wanted to die :( I went for a 2 hour walk in order to calm myself down (yup, it…

• schrip - don't worry, I went through a period a few months ago when ALL I wanted for dinner for weeks on end was steamed broccoli & cauliflower with tomato sauce! I got over that, and now I'm right back into what I was eating before.

• joannabanana, that's so funny because my salads are usually all raw...except for the mushrooms. I also cook them too! I also prefer broccoli and cauliflower slightly cooked, but all other vegetables I like raw. I've gotta try that grape, banana, spi…

• Rawholic, that's so funny! I bundle myself up too when I drink my smoothies because I like them to be half-frozen. I just hate being cold, but I either like my food to be really cold or really hot, nothing in between. If I have a smoothie for breakf…
