• I think the 25g fiber is meant to be a minimum, a target for people who are averaging 5-10 grams, which if I'm not mistaken is the typical SAD intake. These folks would never dream that anyone would ever even try to eat as healthy as a vegan, leave …

• Welcome, JessicaRabbitt, Nice to have you aboard. There are many of us around who are working on going raw for health rather than ethical reasons. I hope you find all the health you seek through making this great choice! -osoniye

• Wow, I think epie has ducked out of town. This is kind of like if you walk up to a couple you haven't seen in a while and say "So how's it going with the new house?" and then WWIII breaks out between them. LOL I think this is a GREAT community, and …

• Hey, rawcanadian, Thanks for the info. I just read your profile- that's great what you've been able to accomplish with eating raw, fitness, etc. My BP is just a tad high and I'm hoping eating raw and maybe some weight loss will bring that down again…

  in Thanks! Comment by osoniye
• Hi Siham , Just to add my 2 cents... the 2 things that jumped out at me in your post were "my mother planted an ugly seed in my head" and "I was spoiled as a child". I just wanted to comment that it may or may not work out for you to spend the rest …

• Hi, JCTVCBN , Welcome to goneraw. In my experience, a fairly decent blender is the most important appliance to have. It's good for smoothies and soups, and if you get one with a grinder attachment, you can make yummy spreads and dips as well. The ch…

• I’ve been really happy with the quality of products I’ve bought from NOL and also pretty much happy with the price (nuts are just expensive!!). My only complaint is that they are not transparent in what they call “raw”, being really pasturized (eg a…

  in Nutsonline Comment by osoniye
• Hi Mila, That’s interesting… I guess maybe that has to do with your body not going into starvation mode, huh? I’m just curious, what fruits do you eat mostly, and can you get a good variety of fruits there, especially in the colder months?

  in When's all this weight loss I read about supposed to start? Comment by osoniye
• Hi everybody- my comment about wt loss is that it’s best to go low fat, but not into deprivation mode. Like for example you can have half a handful of nuts instead of a whole one, or making a whole raw dessert. Or you can eat a half of a serving of …
