• I personally have a hard time counting calories, even with websites like fitday, its always been hard for me to keep track. I did count around 1400 – 1600/day for a few days when I was on a different diet and I think that was too much for me – excep…

• 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…

• Wouldn’t it depend on your body type though? I have PCOS with insulin resistance (though I was able to reverse the insulin resistance through a “healthier” diet over the past two years) and was told that even on a raw diet to limit GI fruits like ba…

• 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…

  in New to raw food :) Comment by barose
• I see. I’ve tried counting them in the past when I was on a more SAD. I never did well with it. I would always default to eating too few if I did count or eat way too much if I didnt. Even using websites like fitday, etc. I never did well with it. I…

• Is there a reason why we should be counting calories? Say it isnt so! I only soak, not sprout almonds before milking them. Is that OK?

• Zoe – that rings true for me too. I (and others) have noticed a swift change in my moods. I am a much happier person now; even when things are not going well. When I was on a 100% SAD in my early 20’s it was horrible severe mood swings, uncontrollab…

• GirlyGirl I get confused myself on the different raw ideas. When I first learned about raw 5 years ago or so (found the Shazzie website) I though there was one way to be raw. Now I’m learning about high fruit low fat diets and question if that is ri…

• Me too. :( I had 2 tbs of cooked brown rice and I am feeling it big time. I’m having such a horrible inflammatory reaction to it. Now I know I have to be 100% strict. One of the reasons I’m going raw is because I have multiple food allergies. Back o…

• I’m on my first day of being 100% raw after around 90% or so the previous days. Yesterday I had miso soup with my lunch so that broke me.

• 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 thought it was from the plastic bags.I very rarely buy bagged veggies. I only do it if I’m traveling and thats the best looking vegetable in the store (depending on where I am).

• I’m wondering if 8-1-1 is good for people who have the tendency towards insulin resistance such as myself, I cannot eat a whole banana (maybe 1/4 one in a smoothie, any more I feel ill, shaky, nausea, etc ), grapes are out and most other super sweet…

  in Not raw Comment by barose
• Zoe, I see what you’re saying too. We’d have to agree to disagree. And I don’t mean deliberately eating something that is “in your face” not raw, but for example: I travel somewhat often and in certain areas (even veggie friendly cities) I have a ha…

• Just keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t be discouraged (I know its so easy to be). But its impossible to be perfect and 100% raw 100% of the time.

• That is really low! Of couse because I have blood sugar issues, cheaper fruits like bananas are not possible.

• I agree. I love the book, but please, watch the salt! Especially in the “no bean hummus”. Wonderful recipe, but you only need maybe 1 tsp of Celtic salt, not 2 1/2, yikes!

• Hello, I did post a thread in introductions, but Ill post here too. I’ve been between 80-90% raw for about a week now. I was not a vegetarian before but I didn’t eat beef, pork or diary so at least I have less to eliminate from my diet. I also didn’…
