Currently I eat about 6 small meals a day (some which are cooked), when I switch to raw foods 100% (4 sep, if anyone wants to start with me let me know :) ), can I eat 2-3 times a day (which is much more convient for when I go to uni) and get enough calories from the 2-3 meals without feeling tired (as it'll probably be mostly fruit+veg juices and salads, and some seeds+nuts)?
I think planning how many meals you are going to eat is a bit unwise. Better to go with when you feel hungry at first. If you graze now, chances are, you will graze when you switch to a raw diet. I do! Its an interesting way to see how often you truly feel hungry. At first, a large juice would keep me going all day-i couldnt understand it or get my head around it! I now find that i eat for pleasure more often than to satisfy hunger. Raw food is more sustaining........so you dont need as much, but perhaps at first you will stick to your usual eating times/habits..
Good luck!
Can you not bring a snack with you like an apple if you get hungry in between meals. As time has gone on I think I need to eat less often as the food I eat seems to keep my blood sugar more stable throughout the day. I find breakfast very important for keeping me going until lunchtime - I love buckwheaties with home made almond mylk but I don't know if there are very student friendly unless you have a dehydrator to bring with you. I tend to listen to my body and if I feel hungry I eat, if not I don't, but if I am out all day I like to know I have something to eat with me as I know I will not be able to find anything appropriate and I do not feel it is good for my body to not eat if I am hungry. I bring out some crackers and some fruit usually.
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.

Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
Hi Jeff,
Every organism is completely self-healing. When sick or badly injured enough, every species will lie down and rest completely. Fasting itself has no curative power, but when we stop processing food (the single most energy expensive proce...
OMG
steamed? I needed a nutcracker to open them and it was really hard to get them opened. You think? My pristine lips touched something that was steamed>??
