• I had soaked red rice recently and it was really good. I had none of the stomach upsets and blow outs I normally get eating grains. :)

• Well, you didnt have to eat the cereal, LOL – but you did. :) 811 isnt the definition of a raw diet. Just like spritedmama said, it works for some, but you have to find what works for you. It definitely doesn’t work for me in so many ways. So far, t…

• Thanks for all of your advice and info! I started the parasite cleanse last week (the day I first posted about this) and it’s helped a lot in past several days. My stomach is definitely, noticeably flatter. It wasn’t flabby before, but it was more o…

• That interesting – I dont eat corn or grains at all for that matter right now, but I am allergic to gluten prior to going raw. When I stopped eating them (year and a half ago) my stomach went down some. I will look into doing cleanses. I already sta…

• I have to chime in here too – artificial fragrances make me nauseated and headachy. I didnt like them before now they really bother me. SAD food smells doesnt bother me much, its just everything else. I’m thinking of trying to push for my office to …

• Thanks everyone – good advice! Chris, I so wish I haven’t read so many guidelines myself in the beginning. It’s hard to read about people who eat a few pieces of fruit and a smoothies a day, cut, cut, cut everything else and feel satisfied. I realiz…

• Thanks spirtedmama! No wonder I have such a bad reaction to nutritional yeast. It almost have a “gluten” effect in my body and I had a horrible migraine on top of that. You learn something new everyday.

• Last night, I grated a little dried chipotle into my guacamole. I wondered if that was raw or not—the amount was so small, I doubt it matters. I like dried herbs, its has such a different flavor than fresh, though I grow basil, sage and rosemary now…

• I’m not sure about other people, but when I tried nutritional yeast before I had a bad reaction. Basically my belly bloated up like a balloon (baking bread!) and I had gas pains for about day. I’m gluten intolerant and though nutritional yeast isn’t…

• For now, I listen to what my body want. I’ve read that eating around 10 or 11AM is best but when your’re up at 6AM to go to work, it doesnt work for everyone. I have to eat within an hour or getting up because I tend to have extreme low blood sugar …

• I just try to have citrus alone w/o anything else. My DP told me to eat melon alone as well. Other than that, I just try not to put too much into a smoothie. If I do, I make sure I’m only using 1 fruit (two if they are in the same family) and whatev…

• I started really working out again yesterday starting with a 30 minute run (hills). I didn’t do much during my heavy detox phase except for my Hatha Yoga classes. Today, I got back into weights and strength training and I must say, I am much stronge…

• I started running a year and a half ago. I was up to 5-6 days a week, but with knee pain from severely flat feet (no matter what shoes I wear) I had to cut down to 2-3 days a week with some Yoga and weights. I’m 28 and don’t want to have knee surger…

• Strawberries are in season (at least out here) and they are everywhere – I cant get enough. Next comes melons, kiwis, and oranges.

• I made banana nut bread. I don’t really measure if I’m making up my own recipe: ground almond mush (after making almond milk) sprouted buckwheat bananas (the more the sweeter and moist it will be) whole walnuts (crushed) vanilla – optional cinnamon …

• Thanks Spritedmama, I am sorry to hear about your loss as well. I am learning more and more about hypothyroid but would love to read your info on it. Thank you so much. Carla

• Hello, I’m pretty new to raw foods myself. I am 28, live in the San Francisco Bay Area, no children, one stillbirth (I think due to being hypothyroid – I hope raw can help with that). My DP (dear partner) is very supportive of my new lifestyle chang…

• I have tried the unbleached parchment and it was a big mess. I will try two, even three layers next time. If I can find the pre-cut ones in sheets, that would be ideal. The curliness of the rolled paper makes it hard. I did find some silicone ones I…

• Hi Pomme, I eat about 3-4 servings of fruit a day, but I limit most of that to berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc) since they are in season. I don’t get the sugar crash when I stick to low GI fruits. I soak all of my nuts. I normally cant diges…

• I tried it starting about a week ago and my skin look worse. Its very dry now. It could be my diet, but I drink a lot of water. I’m thinking of stopping, but how long do you have to dry brush before you see results?

• I know David Wholfe has raw cashews on his website. I haven’t tried them yet, but I will order a batch to do a side by side comparison with the ones I already have. I dont eat many nuts, but I make nut milk with almonds and sometimes have walnuts or…
