• Hi, scrapperjoe, ...sorry to hear about the sleep problems. I have often suffered from insomnia during stressful times in my life, like a rough job or family illness. The thing that helps me the most is getting plenty of exercise. If I get an hour i…

• 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…

• Hi there, rawcanadian, Just my 2 cents, is that avocados seem to keep my weight stable. I know that they are high in fat, but it's such a healthy fat, and I really like them. They are great in salads, smoothies, spreads, etc. It's easy for me to eat…

• So, how did it go, Siham?? Hope you had a great Christmas and were able to make the trip and enjoy it! It would be great to hear from you.

  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 …

• Welcome to goneraw, reciprocipe! This is a great site and I'm sure you'll learn lots from it and be encouraged. I used to live in Texas, and imagine that would be a hard place to be vegan, with all the "angus beef". Hope it goes well with the more v…

• 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…

  in I'm a mess! Any advice? Comment by osoniye
• Hi Viriditas, Thanks for posting that. I find it interesting… take it as kind of a puzzle to see if RDA’s can be met on raw, and how to get the best levels of nutrients. Did you run your diet through a computer program to check levels of nutrients, …

• 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…

• Hi lzhpt, Just wanted to say that raw is enough for me!! I’m still working towards it, but feel lighter and better so far and am not looking to “jumpstart” anything, just taking it slow and easy!

  in Why isn't raw enough? Comment by osoniye
• Hey, MOTH, I’m really glad to hear you’re doing great these days. I remember reading some of your posts a while back and feeling concerned for you but not wanting to pry, as a newcomer to the site, and haven’t been bold enough to ask how things are …

• 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 …

  in Binge eating Comment by osoniye
