• Make fennel tea. Bring about a tbsp of fennel seeds to a boil and then steep for about 5 min. Obviously not raw, but a uti sucks. Try to eat lots of water rich foods too. Feel better :(

• I am definitely eating less aromatics. Cooked, I would use at least 1 onion and a whole head of garlic in a typical meal. Sometimes I would throw in scallions at the end for good measure lol. Now I might throw in 1 clove of garlic into a blended sau…

• Some people say that garlic contains a neurotoxin, but I can only find info about one study. There have been many studies showing garlic to be beneficial. I personally have no intention of giving up onions or garlic, though you obviously need less o…

• Thanks for all the advice. I think I'll go without. I didn't realize they made much noise. That would bug me. Your right rawcanadian, the food isn't exactly whole and unprocessed anymore is it?

• My smoothies aren't green yet lol! I really love zucchini pasta the most so far. I made a killer puttanesca last week and I made Ani Phyo's pistachio pesto last night. It is just like pasta! We had a tortufo for dessert last night that I was quite p…

• I forgot to mention that the Korean market also carries kelp noodles super cheap. I personally can't stand them, but I know a lot of people enjoy them.

• I shop mostly at a Korean market. It's actually a chain called Hmart. They carry more organic produce than Whole Foods and it is less expensive and way more fresh. They have a much larger selection than anywhere else I have ever been. They also carr…

• I'm so glad you posted this. I am very new to this, only 3 weeks, and I feel like I have been over consuming fats. All the cookbooks have high fat recipes though, so I have been thinking that it must be OK. Meanwhile, my digestion has been lousy and…

• I have been entirely disappointed with my breville. It just doesn't get much juice out of anything green.

• I just started using dr bronners, but because it was a bit drying for me I mixed it with about 35-40% or so coconut oil. I love it. I can use it in my hair, as body wash, and it removes make-up! It is head to toe soap. I have super sensitive skin, s…
