Hi! I just saw your post about Santa Fe in the Travelers Support Group which I just joined. This caught my eye as my mom just moved out to Santa Fe & is looking for a place to live. She isn't a raw foodie but is definitely a free spirit, MAJOR dog lover etc etc. Just wondering if you knew of any available places to live in that area of NM that I could refer her to by chance?
Thanks for the insights. I have seen some work of Gabriel Cousens and it seems to work very well. I think I'm probably addicted to sweet foods and don't eat near enough greens. I plan on gettting way more greens so its at least half of the volume of my food per day. I think that is very sustainable. I tried growing wheatgrass but it hasn't worked very well so far. I think I'll definitely be more balanced when I get more greens in my diet. Thanks again
Hi Adam, I have had very few challenges being raw. I made my decision and I've stuck to it for 6 years now. It's been great. Every day I learn something new and I try it. Now I am on a wheatgrass kick, and I have started growing my own. It's very powerful stuff; it's an excellent detoxifyer and antioxidant. I recommend it to all. One ounce of wheatgrass is like 2.5 lbs of vegetables. After a few days on wheatgrass, my skin is so soft, and I have very few cravings for anything not green. I think you may be eating too many fruits. I would cut back a bit on the fruits and include many more greens. I think the less sweet food we eat, the easier it is to be raw. Perhaps it has something to do with the extreme quality of the sweet food, that makes it hard to maintain. Greens are more balanced. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck.
Hi Anou, my name is Adam and I'm trying to do the raw thing. I have doen it relatively well for 7-8 months but there are a few problems I'm running into. What are the biggest challenges you have encountered being raw?
I've been a raw fooder for 6 years. I work as a 3d CAD specialist. I have a 12 year old Australian Shepherd female that I love with all my heart. I make delicious raw dishes and like to invite my friends over for dinner. I try to do whatever I can to keep my friends healthy.

It would be great to have more raw food friends.

Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...

Yes, it helps.

I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
