  • After eating only organic vegetables and fruits for 2 years straight, I noticed a significant difference of tastes and colors between organic and conventionally grown produce. I mostly do my shopping at the farmers market because it is much cheaper …

  • Hi Natosha- I was eating a whole lot of nuts and seeds to feel full when I first started. My body also went through sort of a shock since I didn't transition into this diet. Also, I think with raw food it isn't an all or nothing deal. You can be 50%…
  • I usually take a big fruit smoothie to enjoy. If you want, you can make raw popcorn. Here's the link !
  • Hi blakejack- I rarely use any of my cookbooks since they almost always call for a lot of dehydration time and a lot of ingredients that cost too much. I use my juicer everyday for juice in the morning and maybe a salad and pate for lunch and a smoo…
  • Hi blakejack- If you want maximum results and take better care of your health, your diet should consist of 100% organic produce and grocery. And yes, even with the farmer's market available it is more expensive than the conventional stuff. But I'd r…

  • OKay, honestly I think I'm going to vomit if I even look at another glass of vegetable juice. For the past couple days, I've been drinking fruit juices to get by, but I'm really tired of juice right now. I vowed to do a 90-day juice feast, but I fee…

  • hi ras-saadon. From what I understnad you want to consume at least 4 liters a day with 2 pounds of leafy greens and 1 head celery. The rest is your choice! Last night, I juiced apples, beets, and carrots. Today I started off with Natalia Rose's gree…

  • Yay! So glad you're doing this too rawkarategirl! Good luck to you and let me know how it goes for you! I feel good so far. Got loads of energy!

  • I agree with pixx. You may be consuming too much agave syrup. You can make syrups out of dates and water and it'll be just as sweet. Mikfizzle I wouldn't think that it's healthy to eat ani phyo's dessert as a meal. Even if the ingredients are natura…
  • I agree. I don't think raw pudding will hurt you. Maybe you're craving sweets because you're not eating enought fruit. I easily go through 5 bananas, 1 lb strawberries, 3 peaches, and 5 apples in one day. I don't really have any other form of sugar …
  • Hi sfranky- I went from SAD, like pastas and chips to a strict raw vegan diet. I did experience detox symptoms but they weren't as bad because I haven't done any fasts. I've been replacing a couple meals here and there with green juice and smoothies…

  • kiwiandme- Don't feel bad. Today is a brand a new day and you can start fresh! Lulushka had some really great advice. I too recommend Natalia Rose's book. I've read it and it has helped me a lot! There are times I walk down the bread aisle and think…

  • I guess I could say that I am afraid of a lot of the foods that my friends eat, serve, and want to share with me. But I do love my friends. I hope it didn't come off as if I thought they were freaks or something. I truly love them all and respect th…

  • Sonnenhut- Thank you! Yes, when it comes to family, it IS a big deal! My family eats a lot of rice and beef and pork (GROSS). We seem to have a problem at every gathering because I only eat what I bring. They ask if the food tastes bad, if I'm on a …

  • mikfizzle- sorry that you feel left out sometimes. Trust me, I understand! We're only doing what's best for our bodies. Hopefully our friends will come to understand that and support us, and not assume that we have an easting disorder. Good luck to …

  • thanks for all your advice. I guess what brings me up to this topic is that I recently went to a friend's birthday party with 20 of our closest friends. They served burgers, salad, and drinks. Salad! I asked the person who made the salad what was in…

  • KarinaFirebreather- I sent my mom and sister the link! Thank you so much for that. I've seen some kind of vegetable cleaning spray at my local Trader Joe's and was planning to send a few to them. They're very open-minded and told me that they would …
  • Microwaving is probably the worst thing you could do for your body (besides the absolute worst such as drugs or something). When I imagine microwaved foods, all I can think of is radiation; electromagnetic waves literally killing the enzymes and fla…

  • This is really interesting. I've been getting the raw agave from Whole Foods and even though it says raw, it does have a corn syrupy consistency. Thank you for bringing up this topic! I will definately reconsider before buying another bottle.

  • Chia seeds! Wow, I'll definately look into that! Thank you! My husband's been urging me to drink raw cow's milk because of my nails but I refused and he got upset. Most of my family and friends seem to think that I'm just going through a phase, or t…

  • Karina- thank you. I will try to incorporate more calcium and zinc rich foods into my diet. I must admit I haven't been really good about this. I got a urinary tract infection a few days ago and payed all of my time and focus on that. I've been wate…

  • Thank you Chattanoog. I will try this cleanse since it seems like the most reasonable thing to do! My nails have actually gotten better though they are still pretty thin and fragile!

  • putiger- i've been raw for about 5 months. I have never done a fast. Is my body detoxing?
    in Brittle Nails Comment by Sheik
  • No, I don't use nail polish. Maybe I'm just a little deprived of calcium? I know that kale, carrots, spinach, and avocado are calcium rich, but I rarely eat kale or avocado. Do you know how much I should eat to get enough?

  • ambiguous- you bring up such an interesting point. I certainly hope that I don't have any tapeworms! I would think that I'd know if I did. I remember before trying the raw diet, I'd gorge on pastas and breads and fried foods just because.... I never…

  • Thanks everyone for being so helpful! I do agree with Kelly that I should not be forcing myself to eat when I'm full. I don't plan on going back to dairy with all the pimples I got from its oils! I'm going to incorporate some avocados and more banan…

  • valgal- thank you so much. I have an idea of how much an average girl should be eating. Before going raw, I used to indulge in milk chocolate and fries and pizza! Salty and greasy everyday; which resulted in acne covered face and body, but I still c…

  • Hey Troubles- I know that fatty fruits like avocado may help, but I heard that too much consumption can be detrimental. A typical day looks like this: Breakfast: Green juice with 4 cups kale, 2 cups spinach, 4 sticks celery, 1 apple, 1/2 cucumber Lu…
