Natalia Rose suggests a juicer in addition to the Vita-Mix. Do I need both? I already own a Vita-Mix. Can I use it as a juicer?

Jessica, are you 100% raw right now? If not that's fine, just let me know the percentage, and the other foods you are eating as well. Please be as specific as possible, thanks ;)

Ntalia, I suppose it really depends on a lot of things. I prefere a juicer in addition because I like to use the pulp to make breads and crackers out of it. If this was not a concern, nor is a concern of yours, then a VitaMix is probably right for the job.. and a fine mesh strainer ;)

Thanks for inviting me. I have been 90% raw for 2 months now. I did it for health reasons & have my Dr appt. next week. So keep your fingers crossed! I have lost 20lbs so that is a bonus. Going raw has been an amazing transformation for me!

loosing weight on gourmet i think is easier when you do not use alot of nuts, and you soak your nuts when you use them, i heard soaking them chcnges the fat protein ratio? so when they are not soaked they are more fat than protein, and when you soak them, they are more protein than fat, kevin gianni i think said this??? anyone else hear this?

Also curious about the master cleanse, any thoughts?

I'm down another .5 lb today after just day two of Natalia Rose :) I think raw gourmet can work if you are careful about your food combining as NR details in her book, The Raw Food Detox Diet.

Burke, I'd like to hear what you have to say about addictions. I've finally started reading Victoria Boutenko's book (12 steps) and it makes an awful lot of sense. I've made a lot of excuses in the past and it's about time to figure them out, I think.

I had a terrible day yesterday and was up 2.5 lbs this morning! I stayed raw but ate too many nuts, not enough greens. I was home, bored, with two bored kids on a rainy day. I found myself feeling hungrier and hungrier the more I ate. I've been doing so well, I guess one bad day can be excused, I just wish I didn't do this kind of self-sabotage!

Torque, Give me another 48 hours and I will have an addiction article written ;)

Jennifer- Are you making sure to germinate the seeds and nuts you are eating? Germination makes all the difference in the world, as a matter of fact it's best to not even eat a seed or nut that's not. Women especially will develope a "Pot Belly" from seeds and nuts if not consumed properly and in the right amounts.
