Eat mono meals of lots of bananas, blend your foods, eat a lot of soups, take Vitamineral Green and MRM Plant Based Digestive enzymes. Lots of green smoothies really helped too! Poor digestion was the reason why I went raw and all of this has help...

Does anyone know where I can buy coconut butter in bulk?? Going through a 16 oz jar a week at 9.99 a jar is not very wallet friendly. Thank you!

The High Life

In France I was basically following 80/10/10 with the exception of the oil I used in my salad and the handful of brazil nuts I would soak and eat with a banana. I ate at least a pound of salad a night and hoards and hoards of fruit. Oh, cannot for get the mature coconut from Monoprix! What a treat that was! Before France I weighed 125 and when I came back I weighed 115. We were also quite active, walking at least 5 to six miles a day. In Nice I ran 6 miles everyday and while in Paris I did 45 mi… Continue

To dehydration and beyond

I went to my first potluck last week at Arnold's Way in PA. IT WAS AWESOME! The food was so wonderful and everyone was so lovely. I cannot wait to go back. Being there really inspired me to get my raw food tush on the move and buy a dehydrator. For what I pay in WF to buy raw crackers and treats and such I could easily be making myself at home - which any way you put it is much healthier and enviromentally sound as there will be no plastic containers, etc. My next big purchase is going to be a r… Continue

Bonjour!


It has been such a time since I have written but with good reason because for the past two weeks I have been in France! Actually, right now I am in Nice which is right between Manaco and Cannes. Lovely beaches, kind of touristy, excellent for running, looks like Miami but nicer with more Italian architecture. I don't really feel like I am in France at all!


This trip, food wise, has been very challenging. I did not expect to come here and drink green smoothies or find raw food t

...In the sunshine of your looooveeee


Between the chaoticness of NYC, school, and work I barely have time to take a minute and just breathe. I find myself rushing from one place to another -- literally, like I total loser running to get to the subway, running to get to Westerly, running home. I just feel this constant pressure to get places as soon as possible. I hate being late and because I am so busy I feel the need to optimize my time. Logically, if I run, I will get there faster. If I run, I won't miss that train tha

Citrus Mania!!!


Ok, so lately I have been utterly obsessed with the sweet and tangy wonder that is citrus. I put limes in my smoothies, in my dressing, and oranges in my smoothies....as I am eating a whole orange on its own! I guess it is just the fact that it is getting warmer here in NYC and my body knows what it needs Vitamin D/C. I have also been eating raw coconut. I am not sure on the elemental benefits of that, but I know I like it. lol.


My lunches have been green filled lately. Yesterday I

hi fellow kelp noodle enthusiast!

*275 Organic Market- ask for the Kombu Noodles, they are in the freezer section and in green package. they also have it in dried form in the nori/spices aisle
*Jasmart on 23rd St- ask for kelp or kombu noodles, they have it near the front in the refridgerator section, also in dried form in the back near seaweed
*Whole Foods Columbus Circle- ask for Kombu Noodles, they are located next to tofu in the refridgerator section. It's in a green package (same brand as 275 Organic Market, but not frozen) they also have it in dried form in the nori and spices aisle

You know, I didn't have a period for a year when I lived in Germany back when I was 17... but I wasn't raw then.....
It came back after that year... don't know why!
So my daughter is living in Paris right now.. I may need to pick your brain about France.. how long were you there?
I love some of the same music you do....
Your page here is great...

Hi Alysha,
I am so glad you read the article on menstruation. Isn't it fascinating? And so true! I am certain. I don't know if it's all from Dr Shelton as Xerxes sent it to me exactly as it is.
Bless U,

Left the kale in there for about 6 hours. I'm trying to think what other veggies I can dehydrate and turn into chips. I was thinking of doing baby spinach the other night, but I ended up eating it as a salad instead. And then I was thinking that maybe the leaves were too small to dehydrate. Who knows.

My grandmother turned me on to this one. What about that little rock poppy segment in the middle that doesnt quite fit in with the rest of it? Its beautiful though, 80's ruled the world of great sappy songs.

Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)

We know the holiday season can be busy, with lots of parties and gatherings. Most of these events serve up sugary, artificial, and/or unhealthy foods making it especially hard to stay with a raw or vegan diet. So, come and celebrate the holidays ...

wonderful. Trader Joe's has good prices too. And they are only a few blocks away from me so this is great.

I certainly believe you. I have just only seen them steamed or boiled at TJs so this is especially exciting to me that they have nice bags of raw ones to buy. it was me being incredulous in a good way.

Try this Doreen. I found out about it when I worked at Jubbs longevity. There is absolutely no aftertaste and a bottle lasts forever. I've been using it for years. Lucky Vitamin has amazing prices on many things too. http://www.luckyvitamin.com/i...
