• RCBAlive - candy after drinking milk? Seriously? That's horrible, I can't believe your daughter's teacher used to do that! I think that my students will learn a lot from seeing what I eat. There's a little boy who always bring that fluorescent blue …

• I love to see my "kids" eat well. They were always asking me tons of questions at the beginning of the year about what I ate, like "why do you eat so many apples?", "Do you ever eat anything else but fruit?", "Do you have a collection of bananas and…

• I would like to finish eating by 8:30pm, but I always seem to eat a snack right before I go to bed around 9:30/10:00. Sometimes it's a rather large snack, more like a meal and then I feel really full, even when I wake up. I would say finish your las…

• Wow, I really enjoyed reading the article. I do agree that I feel my best when I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, and little fat. The proof is that I had a lot of nuts tonight with some dry fruit, and OMG boy do I ever feel like crap. I feel heavy…

• I agree with windmillmind, when I first started eating raw I was ALWAYS hungry. I would eat a huge salad or a fruit meal and less than 2 hours later it felt like I hadn't eaten in days! It took about 3 months for my body to adjust. Don't give up, ju…

• Wow, you are such an inspiration jakkrabbit :) I really admire your motivation to eat raw and to pursue your fitness goals. I was wondering, in your video you said you were housebound, does that mean that you never leave the house? Or do you go out,…

• When I transitioned into raw, I used to take VEGA protein powder, which has hemp seed protein. I find that it's a little 'grainy", but not as bad as other powders I have tried before.

• OMG I tried it tonight, it's AMAZING!!!! I wish I had more. I need to buy more buckwheat groats tomorrow to make more. I had only bought a bit to try it out, but I LOVE it :)

• Thanks guys for all the recipes! They all look so good, but I don't have a dehydrator. I'll try the buckwheat porridge and the quinoa breakfast too. I had cooked buckwheat and quinoa porridge tonight. I didn't have any raw stuff that was ready from …

• I agree with SbutterAMfly! 80/10/10 is the best way of eating for me, because I also love sweet things. I find that when I don't eat enough fruit I am more prone to eating cooked carbs.

• Not at all, other than going to the bathroom (#2) more often, but I think that's it's actually a good thing! I haven't gooten sick in years and I feel like I have a lot more energy too :)

• I guess I'm weird because I really like the cruchiness and bitterness of kelp noodles! I'll eat them straight out of the package without anything on them (but they do taste better in a salad!). Are you supposed to soak kelp noodles? Is it ok to eat …

• I always find apples & bananas to be very portable, cheap and filling. I'll have 2 apples or 2 bananas for a snack and it seems to do the trick for a couple of hours. As for iron most leafy greens, parsley & sea vegetables, like seaweed are …

• Ha Ha! Sometimes I amaze myself when I eat. I'll make a HUGE salad and I'm almost scared to eat it, because there is so much food. Last night it took me 40 min to eat my dinner because I was eating so much, but I felt fine afterward (a little too fu…

• I tend to eat fruit all day until dinner (when I have my large salad). For lunch I tend to bring a large container with ONE of the following things: -2lbs of grapes -1/2 cantaloupe, 1/2 honeydew & 1/2 mini watermelon -Raw apple sauce made with 4…

• sv3, that's so nice of your coworkers to think of you! Every Friday at work we have "treats", which usually consists of very unhealthy foods, but many of my coworkers always make an effort to bring in raw veggies and/or fruit for me :)

• When I first wen raw I also had to stay home for a day because I was going #2 A LOT! It's normal if your body is not used to eating that much fruit & vegetables. It might take a few weeks to get used to eat and then you will develop a more "norm…
