Profile Information

About Me:
I'm a newbie. I've been fascinated with the raw foods lifestyle for years. I even tried to go raw in late 2007, alas I ended up back on cooked foods. I also ended up gaining 60 pounds and discovering that there's something wrong with my digestive tract but the doctors can't figure it out. All in all, I'm here to fix myself.

Hi Crystal- Yes i still use bananas occasionally too because they are just so convenient. But I have been experiementing with alternatives like chia seeds and some coconut- and irish moss seaweed.

That's awesome! Haha I say that word all the time- but it still amazes me how much I like stuff like spinach and strawberries and basil. You can make it into a filling too and wrap it in a collard leaf or lettuce. I have made it like that as an hordeurve for people and they always are suprised and love it!

It is definitely hard, especially when you're just starting. My dad kind of took my veganism offensively at first lol, like I was hurting him by not eating it. He's cool with it now, he has a garden so he thinks I want to know everything about it. I might be vegan but jalepenos are still too hot for me to handle. Just stay with it and remember if its something you really want you can do it and family will support you even if they say they won't because they want the best for you.

Yup, I can say that sometimes I do miss beef patties and curried chicken. It took me a few years to totally eliminate all meat from my diet first pork, then beef, then finally everything with a face lol. I'm not totally raw so I still eat cabbage and greens and stuff just minus the meat and it tastes just as good. My aunts still try to make me eat curry goat tho lol.

OMG Seriously- since I have been here I have been suffering from intense allergies that I never had before. Otherwise it seems like a pretty interesting and progressive place..

You should come on over sometime. I've been to Mexico but not New Mexico. How are you getting on with raw living? I'm struggling a bit this week. Xx

How long did 50lbs last you? A week? I would recommend that a person get some greens to go along with their bananas.. did you forage for any greens that week?

That is a good point Angus. I have found that a lot of fundamentalist religions accuse everyone else of worshiping the devil and it like a blind hysteria- like all these other people have a black bible in their house and secretely worship a statue...
