  • Oh my goodness, so much to take in! Thank you so much for all of the information. I really hope it works out, just got word from my sister she doesn’t think she can afford it and I can’t go without her. We’ll see what happens!
  • Hi Shutter Nutter- I’m not very lubricated to begin with so I always use lubrication now I don’t know if I am less lubricated than before, I may need to experiment. Using lubrication is one extra step but not that big of a deal. If you are worried y…
  • Bitt- I don’t know if you have a Fred Meyer where you live but I bought some there this morning. It is Organic, unrefined, virgin cocomut oil.
  • Chicory- That is exactly what I was afraid of, I will probably try it to see how I react but my skin seems to break out easily with ointments but with this being so pure maybe my skin would react better.
  • Hi everyone, it’s been 22 hours since I’ve visited this thread and WOW I didn’t expect to have so much information shared. Thank you. I plan to go to the store tonight and get some. Now I want to try it on my skin as well. Have any of you had a bad …
  • Wow, thanks Angie. I have a friend who was just diagnosed with HIV and I will tell him to start with the coconut oil right away. If there is any chance in helping he should start right away. Alfredo sounds great right now, I’m super hungry! Better g…
  • I have the same problem, associate coconut oil with sweet things. I don’t even know all the benefits from it and that is also why I started this, to see what others have found that it helps. My mother-in-law gives coconut oil to her bulldog once a d…
  • Spiritulina- I agree, you should go see a doctor if you have any concern which you obviously do. On the other hand I have experienced when I use soap “downtown” to clean I end up smelling like crazy. I use only water and wash well because really it …
  • Thank you Zoe. I want to keep eating this way but of course it is a worry that I’m not eating what I need to be healthy. It sounds like I’m doing okay but like you said, you ate a lot more when you first started, and in the first month or so I did t…
  • Thank you pianissima! You made me feel a lot better. I kind of figured that because I’m eating this way I have to be better off anyway but they I do read so much on there about not getting enough calories yadda yadda and I really don’t want to have …
  • tunacupcakes – That doesn’t sound kooky at all. I think that everyone feels a sense of support knowing there are others around with the same lifestyle. I know I do at least. That is part of the reason I started this thread. To find out how people li…
  • Can one of you tell me about the Raw Spirit Fest? Where is the Raw Spirit Fest and what is there? heartshapedsky – Thanks for posting that link, I’m going to check it out. I need to start working out more. I love to ride my bike, never ride it serio…
  • I’m so happy to see there are people from Portland on here! I have been to the Blossoming Lotus, I’m actually going to have my family birthday dinner there on Thursday. Although my family does not eat raw they are supportive and are looking forward …
  • Can anyone tell me about the 7 Day Diva Diet and experiences from it?
  • Okay not to get off topic to much of this 10 day green smoothie thing, BUT can anyone tell me about the 7 Day Diva Diet that has done it? I’m curious to do it but want to know others opinions on it first. PS I haven’t done my 10 days of green smooth…
  • BeTheChange- Thank you so much for breaking it down and explaining the food combining in smoothie/juice form to me, it really helped me understand. I’m planning on going to the store and getting more greens and I’m climbing on board too. Better late…
  • Okay I must have missed that somewhere. Thank you for the tips. I’ll have to try it out.
  • I read in “The Raw Food Detox Diet” about food combining and not mixing veggies and fruit. Has anyone else read this and do think it actually makes a difference? Mixing fruit and greens would really make me want to try green smoothies.
  • I know that I should have green smoothies daily but the thought just doesn’t sound good. I’m sure they are great if you know how to make them right, how do you make them?
  • I also have the VitaMix and love it. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed foam at all.
