  • Can we keep the GOD discussions in the Christian section of the forum (I think it's labelled, "hello raw Christians"?) This site is supposed to be about discussion the RAW, VEGAN food and lifestyle and not about preaching the ethics behind eating an…
  • Going off topic again :D Isn't part of the point of eating organic, raw, vegan food to minimize the environmental contaminants we put it our bodies? Obviously we're ingesting some through our inorganic foods and polluted air but it seems silly to kn…
  • You should ABSOLUTELY NOT be eating this every day. I'm actually shocked that you think it's okay! If you are consuming wild - not farmed fish - you are consuming fish that is swims in waters contaminated with high levels of mercury, polychlorinated…
  • I'm interested in this too as my yard is absolutely FULL of big, wild aloe plants and my acne on my face is HORRIBLE (no end in sight!)
  • I vomit every time I eat spinach - seems you CAN have too much of a good thing! - so I've moved on to other greens. You might have an intolerance too? Although it sounds like mixing lemon juice with spinach and carrot is a recipe for disaster! Just …
  • You're not hungry because your body is full of fantastic fiber, which makes you feel full, regardless of the calories you've consumed. 850 is NOT enough calories to sustain you - not even close! Eat often - bananas are a great way to gain calories A…
  • liger - are you eating ENOUGH? A lot of people think they can eat the same sized salads and fruit portions when they go raw and end up not eating nearly enough calories to sustain them! You should be eating A LOT - especially if you're transitioning…
  • Hi Genny - I would LOVE to go to your class! I'm currently overseas but have a home on Grant Street off Commercial and will be home in February or March if you'll be hosting another then!
  • Pretty sure Don's not her husband! But all the same....YAY!
  • I tried using spinach instead of kale. The "chips" are super thin and are really crumbly if over-dehydrated and gross and soggy (especially if you are coating or marinating the spinach beforehand with any oil) if under-dehydrated. Eventually I found…
  • It's so much fun reading everyone's responses. It's amazing how different we all are :) 1: What country are you from? Kenya 2: What's your occupation? Wildlife Photographer/Freelance writer 3: How long have you been Raw? 6 months at 100% 4: Favourit…
  • Hi sixthangel9716 - I don't eat nuts and seeds (I react badly to a lot of them) but I eat one giant avocado a day (which are naturally high in fat) and tons of fruit - literally KGs of it a day - and the weight is steadily coming off. STOP READING a…
  • RAW CAN play a HUGE role in healing alcoholism and, in my opinion, proper nutrition (i.e. raw) is second only to abstinence in terms of healing this illness. "Alcoholics have used up their nutrient stores and are often drawing on their own tissues f…
  • Harkis - Your lack of sleep is alcohol-related. When I was drinking, I was ALWAYS awake in the wee hours of the morning. My father - who's an alcoholic - has the same problem with insomnia. Drunk sleep is not restful sleep! It took me weeks to get a…
  • Harkis - A few VERY important things: I'm a recovering alcoholic and started my sober path when I was 24 and I can say from experience that the best thing you can do for yourself is GO. TO. AA. You might feel silly or embarrassed at first or like yo…
  • I'll get to compiling and will maybe start a thread? It would be great to have a list of 101 delicious fruit smoothies!!
  • Rawlizard - If you're worried about being calorie deficient after cutting out bread then - honestly - chug some fruit smoothies! I will sing the glories of fruit smoothies on the rooftops if I have to, they're so deliciously amazing! You of course d…
  • Hi rawlizard! I'm in my fourth month of 100% raw and I do NOT consume any seeds, nuts or nut/seed milks (my body just can NOT tolerate them in any quantity) and have managed to be successful. I also struggled with bread in the beginning - I'm a sand…
  • Iceberg lettuce (which I don't eat), spinach, something called sukuma wiki - which is like spinach but bigger and tougher (I think it might be collard or kale?) and a small lettuce with soft green and red leaves and that's it! Right now I seem okay …
  • Hi happy2swim - I'm currently in Kenya but will be traveling to Korea on October 17th (Seoul and then to Busan). If you're in either of those areas and want to meet up for a raw lunch or dinner, that would be awesome!

  • Belgian beer...thinking about it makes me swoon
  • What about sprouted adzuki beans? I've never sprouted beans before but I'm told this is a good one?
  • Mmmm ginger orange is my FAVOURITE: 1 juiced orange, 1 clove of garlic, one inch of fresh ginger chopped, a few squirts of nama shoyu blended in my magic bullet then tossed with green onions, cilantro, and a few veggies sliced super thin (I make spi…

  • Absolutely! I put my faith in people and nature

  • Prepare the sauce in advance but not the noodles - If you leave the sauce to marinate overnight, it's amazingly delicious. I usually use fresh tomatoes, soaked sundried tomatoes, salt, oregano, a teeny bit of cinnamon, garlic, mushrooms and olive oi…
  • I live in Africa and have travelled around the continent a lot. Most of the indigenous tribes do NOT live off fruit, veg and nuts, in fact I have yet to encounter one that does. The bulk of their consumption is actually animal - blood, meat, milk, t…

  • Thanks for your comments and advice. I cut out the nuts and the agave entirely and started taking antihistamines, which helped for a bit and then the rash actually worsened :S I emailed my Canadian doctor and he seems to think it's more likely a ski…
  • Hi Shannon! Welcome :) Congratulations on starting what will seriously be an amazing journey. Make sure to ask questions (even the gross ones) and EAT, EAT, EAT, especially if you're active! Your body will thank you in ways you never thought possibl…
  • Thanks to everyone for the information/ideas/suggestions and support! I have looked into food combining (and printed a handy chart to hang on my fridge) and am going to act on the suggestion of cutting out oat groats in the morning and replace them …
  • This article along with the comments seriously gets my heart pumping. To suggest that the free-will consumption of live, nutritious whole foods is somehow "cultish" is beyond absurd. The kids' deficiencies were clearly a result of a mother improperl…
