• Hey Sl! We have a lot in common! I lost a lot of weight on Atkins exactly five years ago. I was wicked thin and had tons of energy. I lost about 135 pounds and kept, well, a lot of it off except for about 50 of it. Most of it in the past six months.…

• :). Oh, thanks so much, all of you! I’ve been doing more reading and thinking about all this, and I’m thinking first of all that I’m not eating enough green veggies. I’ve been eating veggies but more colored ones and less salads and smoothies so I f…

• Thanks Rosita! It’s pretty likely I’m detoxing too quickly. I went from SAD to raw overnight. I was so thrilled by all the testimonials I wanted to get started right away and get to all the marvelous health benefits. Mostly I’ve just been cranky and…

• No idea, Kevyn. Chemically it doesn’t make sense to me. I’m not saying it’s wrong, I’ve just never been able to make heads or tails of it. R

  in Allergic to cashews? Comment by Rawcuss
• Maybe not an allergy, exactly, chicory; maybe just thing that doesn’t agree with me. Not sure. Sunshine, my body has no idea what to make of all this :). I was just reading about acid/alkaline foods and cashews seem to be on the list of offenders in…

• :). thanks jenoz! This is what I was thinking. I’ve eaten a lot of different foods in the past few weeks - carob chips ( not raw); “raw pecans” ( who knows); store bought trail mix ( no way) - but I didn’t have any reaction and actually lost weight …

• Wellll….I know about the Cashew Controversy, but on the site I was reading the guy said that he felt that cashews were “raw enough” http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/store2/faqs.asp This is what the guys said, it's at the bottom of the page, a pers…

• :) hey thanks Kristen! Good idea about the milk thistle! It didn’t occur to me to do liver clearing herbs because I’m trying to stay away from supplements. I was taking a ton before and none of them seemed to be helping much so I figured I’d chuck …

• :). Thanks bitt. Oh, I’d love some chocolate. Thing is, I’m trying to stay away from all caffeine. I had an episode with some cacao nibs a week or so ago and I was up allll night :). I was thinking something herbal that doesn’t tax the liver. But I …

• Since I’m 5’10’, the calorie sites recommend anywhere between 1800 to 2500 calories, depending on the site. I’m pretty sure the calorie thing is wrong, although I’m not sure how. I used to be a lowcarb fanatic and lost a good deal of weight that way…

  in calories, how many do you eat? Does it matter? Comment by Rawcuss
• :). Okay, thanks all! I was reading about the idea of just chewing out the juice and thought I’d try that, but the blender idea seems more civilized. I figured there was some other strategy out there besides a masticating juicer. I’m actually a litt…

• :). Hey This is what worked for me: get a good quality home acid peel kit with a reasonable concentration of glycolic acid. Use that once a week according to the directions. Then, the rest of the week use a ligher exfoliating acid cream, with salicy…

• I just toughed it out. The first three days I didn’t notice and then the night of the fourth day I had about the worst headache I have ever had in my life. It wasn’t just a headache—my back, the small of my back, my shoulders, the backs of my knees.…

  in Coffee Addict - HELP Comment by Rawcuss
• :). You know, the funny thing is, I was just “trying” this because my husband wants to go on a retreat to quit smoking. Somehow I heard it was all raw food, and I figured, well, okay, I’ll check this out early and go into my caffeine withdrawal in a…

• :). heyenglish: I was a lowcarber for about five years and I did a lot of strength training—bodybuilding type regime. Right now I’m doing kettlebell traing three times a week. Kettlebells are really tough but there’s a cardio component. If you’re lo…

  in I lost ten pounds this week. Comment by Rawcuss
• :) Hi. This week I gave up alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, grains, carbs, meat, and dairy. It was actually pretty easy, I let myself eat a lot and allowed myself to be braindead. Friday night I had the worst headqache I have ever had in my…

• lzhpt—thanks for your reply! I have this feeling about Whole Foods, I actually saw raw cacao nibs there a few months ago and I thought now what in the world would anybody want with those? Only one raw food book at my library, I’m waiting for it to c…

• :). Oh, thanks, amysue! No olives, huh? I kind of had a feeling that was going to be a no. Bummer about the pecans, too. Clicking around I found the “OK foods” list too, which should help. :). Oh, well, I'll try to do better tomorrow. Onward :)
