• I completly agree with you, I would LOVE to go live in a warmer climate and live of the fruit that grow in nature. It would be so much fresher and cheaper! I try to get organic produce, but I must admit that most of the time it isn't because I can't…

• Hi WhiteApple, I come from Toronto, Canada, so there aren't many options, especially in the winter. I got to the farmer's markets in the summer and the prices of are pretty good, but i've never tried to bargain with them. I'm sure that you could if …

• I always eat something before I go to bed, usually because I 'm a little hungry, but sometimes just out of bordeom. But I always eat berries or some other fruit, and avoid harder to digest foods. I always work out first thing in the morning and I fi…

• I tried accessing the link, but it says that it's unavailable. I'd love to see your raw food fridge! I also did that when I moved out on my own and it looks so nice & colorful :)

• How is everyone doing on their 80/10/10 journey? I've being doing ok, but I don't want to say it's been 100% all the time, but I've been keeping a log and most of the time it's pretty close to 80/10/10 (i.e. 86/9/5, 90/4/6).

• I've been doing pretty good, but I still need to wean myself off mushrooms and seaweed. I had a bit of a slip on Sunday (eating some non-raw foods for an afternoon snack), but I went right back on track at dinner. I'm experimenting with different fr…

• Rebecca117, that sounds great. I have been easing into it for the past 4 days so I think that I'm getting the hand of it. I also love cashews! I can't have any nuts at home become if I do, I will eat them all. The only things that I eat that it not …

• I'd love to! I'm kind of doing it (but only on some days), and would like to do it 100%. I know I can do it, since I did during the summer, I just need to get back into it. I'm in!

• I tend to use romaine lettuce because it barely tastes like anything (the leaf part, not the hard centre part). Spinach is not bad either, but it turns my smoothies really dark green, and I prefer seeing all the beautiful color. It's a psychological…

• tabbycars tofu - I also bring a huge tub of melon or grapes to work and people always say "you are going to eat ALL that?". Seriously, I just want to say, "and you are going to eat THAT?" I now eat alone, so no one can make annoying comments on my f…

• g. - It's funny you say that you are going to lock your family's junk food away...that's exactly what I did last year when I lived at home! My sister took out all the junk that I would eat and put it in a large cardboard box and hid it somewhere in …

• OMG, I am EXACTLY like you! I eat picture perfect meals from the time I wake up until dinner, but then that's when the cravings come and it's so hard not to give in. I eat things that I would never eat, EVER! (chips, cookies, cheese. etc.) I tend no…

• Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll try to get some psyllium fiber, since my colonic therapist also suggested it. I'm starting to eat more bananas, but I still love my melon and grapes!

• I live in Toronto and it's getting cold here too. I was ok eating all raw in the summer but, just like you I need warm foods to keep my body warm, so I've started eating lightly cooked broccoli, zucchini and cauliflower. I think that it makes a big …

• I have also just come of the pill over a month ago after having been on it for 10 years. I still haven't had my period (which was supposed to come last week), but I feel like it's coming on some days. I can't offer any help, because I am also wonder…

• I am also having the same problem, it just does not get creamy at all. I tried soaking my almonds first & I thought that it would help with the consistency, but it never turned into "butter". It ended up being just thicker granules. The only way…

• VanillaKiss, I forgot to answer your question in your other post. I know it's a lot harder to stay raw in the winter (especially in such a cold country!), but it's possible. I just try to eat the same as I usually do in the summer, although it can b…

• I did when I had my first shot of wheatgrass juice & a juice feast on Saturday afternoon. It felt like all me cells were dancing in my body & I could have run a marathon because I had so much energy!

  in Raw food buzz! Comment by AVL
• Also, what's the point of eating only 1 meal a day? Can't you eat the same amount but space it out throughout the day? At least you would have more sustained energy.

• Ya, I've also noticed that my teeth are hurting more since starting to eat raw, back in May. I'm using Sensodyne toothpaste, but they still hurt a little.
