OMG so i have gone 100% raw well okay so 100% minus the fact I cant stop the craving and the temptation and the actual GOING TO Starbucks for my mocha or gingerbread latte or whatever....Is this going to totally ruin the whole raw thing? If i have 1 a day but eat totally RAW for everything else will I still loose weight? Anyone have a magic pill that will keep me away from Starbucks... i swear they must put crack in their coffee lol....
I half assed raw for about a year until I heard about 811rv. During that year I went to Starbucks daily. The weekend I started adding lots of fruit to my diet I quit coffee also. Went hand in hand.

Hi Ami, when I went 100% (I'm now 80% high raw) every time I went past a gas station or through the checkout at the supermarket, I wanted my usual chocolate bar and energy drink (I was caffiene addicted, at least 3 red bull energy drinks each day + coffee!). I didn't actually want to eat the chocolate or drink red bull nor was I craving it, it was simply the everyday habit I had got myself into. I never gave in, and even now I get the feeling but not as strong. So it could simply be a habit you need to break or change - for example, make a new habit where you buy a cup of herbal tea instead.
yes i agree with you that it is for sure an emotional attachment ;) I know I will eventually do it, i guess it is just frustrating when you cant turn something like that OFF. :)
Yes Ami, you can cut the cords to anything, including Starbucks. Set your intention, meditate alone and call in Archangel Michael to help you cut the cords and Archangel Raphael to heal any wounds or cravings left over after cutting the cords energetically.
By the way, maybe you can shift your addiction to a positive one - I go to Starbucks almost every other day to pick up free coffee grounds for my garden. I look around at everyone consuming non-life-giving foods and drinks and feel about a week younger when I leave without consuming a thing.
Try my Chai/coffee substitute drink that i created "Shakti Chai" it has helped many people get off of coffee.
It has Raw Cacao, Dandelion & 20 Tonic herbs.

Going to starbucks may simply be a habit...and not necessarily what you order. Next time...order a green tea instead of mocha or latte (they do sell tea at Starbucks. Try to transition away from starbucks by going to other coffee shops. I like going to coffeshops to read but i always buy green tea instead of coffee.
Thanks for the tips :) funny it is not the caffeine that i crave it is the SWEETS! artificial sweets i know ;) I get decaf... but I will try for sure to get some tea :) I wish i liked tea more than i do :)
Part 1: I have used Liquid Zeolites for detoxing lead from doing stained glass art for a few years and MSM for ease of movement in the joints. Both worked great.
Part 2: I have used-
Aged garlic extracts/ immune tonic and system cleanser
Anti-Par...
If someone wants to control everybody and I am allowing everyone to be free you mean?
I am sure there will be willing followers for whatever. Some people like to follow orders.
This has always been one of my healthier alternatives. However, usually our pizzas were done on French bread. Not the best healthy food mind you, but much better than restaurant pizzas!
Is about de-calcifying the body that can give us stones, cysts, scars, hardening of the arteries.
