Cassandra commented on Michelle Bosmier's blog post Nama Shoyu Marinated Mushrooms"I have looked for nama shoyu everywhere! What section do you find it in at the store? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place."

I have been raw for about a month and a half now. I started out great, all raw, I still am for the most part (cheat with salad dressing sometimes). When I first began I tried all sorts of recipes and didnt mind the hassle. Now at 1.5 months I am getting lazy with my food and not in the mood to put so much work into it. I have pretty much been eating smoothies and salads..which is boring. I need any help with EASY recipes. I have all the equipment, juicer, food processor, dehydrator. It…See More

Juice Fast
Tomorrow I am starting a 10 day juice fast. If I feel good enough to go on I will go for as long as I can up to 30 days. Nervous and excited! Cant wait to see how I feel afterwards. I hope I have researched enough and doing everything the way I am supposed to.

Day 14
Raw is still going great for me! I know I will stick with it for the rest of my life. I feel amazing and I have lost 12 lbs in 14 days! Thats insane to me. I recently started juicing and the weight is flying off. I feel more confident, my mind is clear, and my skin is glowing. I went 100% raw with my food but sometimes if the flavor just isnt there ill add a sauce. They are organic but they are not homemade by me. I need to look into making my own!

Enjoy your juicer! I wish I had one. I did buy fresh juice and do a detox at the end of finals (lots of bad eating and stress) which really just made worlds of difference....rejuvenated me and made me realize that my interest in raw food had to turn to a commitment. (as you see, i'm new to this too, though my background as a vegan nutrition nerd who played around with raw often made it easy)Remember that smoothies with the fiber intact will make you feel way more full though!

Good Morning! I just thought I would post to say hello to everyone, as I am coming back after a long haul of taking care of others who were in very bad straights, which in turn put me in very bad straights too. I am back to being me now, and pursing the life I have wanted and missed for so long. I am growing my holistics and massage practice in Coppell, TX, healing myself, and thriving! It looks like many of the folks I knew when I first truly embraced raw veganism are not around. I was…See More
