• Hmmm... I read somewhere recently that there is a poisonous compound, cyanide, I think in the pit, but I can't confirm if that is true. It's supposed to protect the avocado from animals eating it, or something.

• Pirawna- I'm so glad you were able to turn your health around with the raw diet- go you! Your story is inspiring.

• Hi Kelly, I really recomend trying different combinations and keeping a journal... otherwise you might be restricting yourself from eating some combination that you might enjoy, but that isn't "recomended", eventhough it might work for you. Just a t…

• Looking on the bright side... Seems like a lot of free advertizing for the raw diet, to me... I mean, everyone who opened up their hotmail that morning had the chance to click and read about the raw diet, and hear NO substantive argument against it,…

• I add tons of raw garlic (that I smash with a special stone I have just for the purpose) to salad dressings of all kinds. Makes them even yummier. I didn't realize how overboard I'd gone till I heard the comments of a non raw friend who I had over f…

• Yeah, I like lettuce in a smoothie, it just needs to have some kind of darker green as well, or it tastes kind of odd.

• (Hi, strong_and_raw, nice to see you.) I'd also like to know how eggplant does with a spiralizer. (Any other fave veggies done that way too?, I'm on the verge of buying one, but just don't want to have tons of equipment lieing around if I won't use …

• Hi Sonia, Re: not losing any weight yet, be patient and eat lots of veggies, moderate fruit and limited nuts and plenty of exercize. I know lots of people recommend higher fruit, but if you stick to the above, I'm thinking you'll see some weight los…

• Hi lady25mo2001, I can identify with the frustration, but as others have said, you CAN make it simple. I have found it best just to soak nuts and wash fruits and veggies. Then I grind the nuts in the grinder attachment on my blender to make a pate, …

• I live in Ethiopia, and the papayas here are HUGE. I think it is more of an issue of different types of papaya. I always laugh when I read a recipe calling for 2 papayas or something, as one of ours is "as big as your head".

• 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 …

• I just have to add my 2 cents that it probably isn't the best thing to spend too much time analyzing fat content and worrying about it. Just go for balance and see how you feel. If you feel fine on 40% fat for a period of time while you get used to …

• Hi, formosa, Personally, I don't worry about food combining, and I'd say just see how your body reacts, and if certain combinations bother you, avoid them. For me, it helps to eat fruit BEFORE a meal, so some of that glucose gets a chance to get abs…
