• Ok TOTALLY screwed up today :( I can't believe how horrible I ate, I don't remember the last time I ate so poorly and I feel like crap. I'm usually pretty good with not giving into my cravings and I don't know what happened today. I'm a teacher and …

• I ate mostly raw today, except for a bowl of rice and some rice cakes, so I guess it wasn't all raw. I'm aiming for 100% tomorrow. There's no more rice cakes in my kitchen, so I think I should be good. However, I'm going to my friend's house tomorro…

• FireFern, I also used to get dizzy spells a lot, but now that I eat A LOT of fruit it never happens to me. I can even run first thing in the morning for 13.5km without eating anything and I don't get weak or dizzy. Before becoming raw, I would feel …

• miranimal - thanks for your support! I don't feel that guilty about it, since it was only a very small piece. But I really couldn't refuse since I'm the only one out of about 40 other teachers that can't eat gluten. So she really did the time to mak…

• So far so good, I started yesterday and did well. I still haven't had dinner, but I've been eating pretty well today. However, one of my coworkers made a gluten-free cake for me (because she knows that I can't have gluten) every Thursday we have "Tr…

• Thanks Fortune! I'm kind of an obsessive person when it comes to exercise (it's part of an eating disorder that I'm trying to deal with). I would love to be able to take a break from exercise and try a juice fast. I just need to learn how to relax w…

• Good for you for trying a juice fast! I really envy your willpower. I would really like to do one but I'm too scared of being hungry and week. I'm a runner, so I don't think that I can do a juice fast and run 13km 4 times a week and skip rope 1h20mi…

• I use cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew. I tend to mix them together as a fruit salad with strawberries, raspberries and/or blueberries. I'm usually pretty hungry for my breakfast because I run when I wake up so I'll have 1/2 cantaloupe, 1/4 honey…

• Just make sure you set out a bedtime routine. When I was in University I used to have a tv in my room and I used to have SO much trouble sleeping. Most of the time I would fall asleep with the tv on and then wake up a few hours later to turn it off …

• Hi SA-RAW, it's so funny because I made a carrot soup last night very similar to the one you described. Do you know a good recipe for raw mashed potato (basically mashed cauliflower) that doesn't required nuts? I just don't want it to be too fatteni…

• joannabanana - I made apple sauce tonight, but I didn't have all the ingredients you used so I improvied. I used 2 apples, 8 strawberries and a bit of cinnamon. It was REALLY good!

• vegankid, I can completly relate with you. When I was a teenager I also suffered from anorexia, then recovered until I was about 23, when I began to exercise compulsivly and binge. Now I'm 29 and I've been raw for 4 months and feel so much better. I…
