  • sweetteaaa - just out of curiosity, how did you cut out most sugars and fats? What do you eat now? Thanks in advance!

  • I'm freezing like never before. I come from a very cold climate and still live in a moderately cold one, I used to love snow and the cold of winter but now I freeze all the time, even when it gets cool in summer evenings. I've begun feeling like mov…
    in Freezing on Raw? Comment by J A
  • Well I've been raw for a year, mainly 80/10/10 and about 90-95 % with two periods of 2,5 months each 100 % raw (November-mid-January and March-May). I've lost some serious weight, undergone emergency surgery because of appendicitis, been sicker than…
  • Hey pixiechick, this sounds very interesting - would you care to share your typical diet for these past 20 years?
  • 80/10/10 is definitely not the mainstream raw food diet, I'd say higher fat (not necessarily HIGH fat maybe 20-40 %) raw food is much more common.
  • There are proponents of both views. Some say you should get most of your fluids from vegetables / fruits since all water sources today are so polluted. Others say you shouldn't rely on plants only but need to drink water, too.
  • Gave me a good laugh ;-)
  • I believe that knowledge alone is seldom enough. Our relationship to food is emotional, not rational. There is nothing wrong with that but if you make the decision to follow a specific diet such as raw food, you will be far better off if you know wh…

  • Thanks emtpdmom, hadn't thought of that. I sure hope too and believe we will! ;D

  • I'm sure signatures from US citizens are a lot better than no signatures at all. There is a grand total of around 200 homeschooled children in all of Sweden. Including parents we'd maybe get around 400 signatures which simply isn't enough. We do get…
  • Thanks to all of you, awesome! *thumbs up* :-D It's important to show how big a question this is worldwide. The government knows we are very few but what they haven't realized is that this is a BIG one internationally and will put Sweden to shame in…

  • I live in Europe, our family spends the equivalent of approx. 1600 $ / month on food. We buy organic only and in bulk from wholesalers. We are 2 adults, 2 kids (5 and 2 years). Fresh fruits & vegetables probably are quite a bit more expensive he…

  • "I think Dr. G is making great use of a forum where people can ask basic questions, but I agree it is glaringly 90s looking. It also works to funnel the people who have real problems into consultations with him or a fasting clinic. I'm not a member …
  • You'll probably find ice cream recipes in the books you've ordered, most recipe books have at least one ice cream recipe. I keep things simple and just blend frozen mango and banana, makes a simple yet tasty ice cream. You could search youtube for "…
  • Zinfandel, I do agree that 80/10/10 would probably help but don't you agree that the site could be better? It's full of spam, pop-up windows and quite a number of Dr. G's answers are "Yes 80/10/10 is the way to go", no further explanations and, fran…
  • Hi Mama Bear! Thanks for sharing your story! I really feel for you and your husband, I know of my own experience what an energy drain illnesses in parents are for the whole family (I've got two kids myself, 5 and 2 years). I haven't got any personal…
  • "Sometimes it's the only thing available! I do try to let things sit on the counter to ripen, but often they go bad, before they get ripe. It's one of the reasons I buy a large portion of my fruit, frozen. It does not need to outlast shipping, so th…
  • Well that is the problem... Unless you live next to a pineapple plant, the fruit won't be ripe. They don't ripen properly off-plant. A partial ripening process will take place off-plant, but you don't get thoroughly ripe pineapples if you harvest th…
  • Pineapples contain large amounts of natural acids which will damage your mouth (and your stomach & bowels when they get there). That's what is causing the rash / feeling on your tongue. These acids gradually break down as the fruit ripens and wh…
  • Don't push it, let her taste some of the most fabulous raw foods there are and she may fall in love with it. I've recommended my overweight parents to eat more fruits which they do. They can't skip cookies, pies and coffee though but they do agree w…

  • BTW Ashton what did you eat pre-raw and what do you eat now?
    in Not craving greens? Comment by J A
  • Ashton, green smoothies taste just like you want them to taste :D I have a friend who really likes the taste of greens. Unfortunately her husband and daughter don't so they thought all green smoothies taste horribly (because she has like 75 % greens…
    in Not craving greens? Comment by J A
  • Try green smoothies. I rarely eat greens in salads, I currently avoid avocados and find salads boring without them so I just make green smoothies and enjoy my greens that way. I consume quite a lot of greens, 1-2 pounds a day.

  • Just thought to chime on re. running - running on soft ground (grass, forest floor) definitely not concrete will make things easier. Concrete is hard, soft ground will be a lot easier on your knees, ankles and pretty much your whole body. Plus you g…

  • Here's a few good ideas: - Find a place to live where you don't need to travel (nice nature so you won't need "vacations", a place where you can grow your own food / buy from locals, work at home / at a walking / cycling distance) - Eat local produc…

    in Your Top Ten Raw Foods Comment by J A
  • You know, I eat fruit and greens only (100 % raw), everything organic, and I eat a lot. Yesterday I had one whole watermelon, 6 mangos, 6 bananas and 2 quarts (litres) of green smoothie (fresh squeezed orange juice and about 1,5 pounds [700 grams] o…
