  • Spritedmama – even before I went raw, I reduced my cardio and increased my weight/bodywork and lost more inches than just doing a lot of cardio. Since going raw, I noticed I can do 2x the amount of weight/body work than I did before.
  • I had this several months back. It was more than likely hormonal imbalance – it went away and never returned.
  • SocaL, Do you ready/follow the book “Survival into the Twenty First Century”? I’m curious because my SO has the older edition and it was the most powerful health book I ever read – even years before going raw (though I don’t follow a lot of dietary …

  • Queenfluff – you may be speaking of Cafe Gratitude in San Francisco (they have two locations in SF, one in Berkeley and one in Marin Co) I had some of their cold pressed coffee and its pretty good. None of the bitterness and stomach ache I normally …

  • 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. :)

  • Remember SocaL, the restaurants have to turn over a profit somehow. ;)

  • I drink a glass probably once a twice a week.

  • I get full quickly too, but I’m hungry again an hour later.
  • 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…
    in Distended Belly Comment by barose
  • 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…

  • No I havnet tried it yet…I need to look into it. Thanks for the tip!
    in Distended Belly Comment by barose
  • I think its way to easy to feel guilty on any diet and raw is definitely no exception. I kept myself torchured with questions like “am I eating too much?” “too much fat?” “too little food?” but the truth of the matter I am seeing results more and mo…
  • “have to say, the 80-10-10 was probably the spaciest, weirdest I have ever felt in my entire life.” I tried 80-10-10 for about 2 and a half days and if I didn’t devourer an avocado ASAP, I would have probably passed out. Low fat and low protein give…
  • 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 …
    in Sensitive to Smell Comment by barose
  • 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.
    in Spices: raw or not? Comment by barose
  • 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…
    in Spices: raw or not? Comment by barose
  • Glad I’m not the only one!
  • Yes – before and after I went raw, I always ate kale plain, alone, unsoaked, raw. Do you suggest eating 4 heads of romaine a day in a smoothie? I probably could in additional to a salad and everything else.
  • Though darker/thicker greens are hard to digest, where do you draw the line as far as staying satisfied? When I eat romaine, I would have to eat a head 1-2 hours to keep from feeling hungry. Darker leaves are harder to digest, but at least I feel sa…
  • Glad to know I’m not the only one! ;)
    in Nutritional yeast Comment by barose
  • 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…

  • I like posting to people who have been 100% raw for years. Its nice to see where I might be in 6 months or 6 years. I do like the scale idea though – just to see where everyone is.
  • 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 …
    in Breakfast??? Comment by barose
  • 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 like to drink the water then eat the meat as/is. Its so good, I cant get myself to “do anything” else it. ;)
    in Young Coconut Comment by barose
  • 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.
