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..
neither wins because the world isn't fair- and we are constantly having to deal with it. the more conscious you are the more you see how unethical people rule the world and you can't wish them away by feeding your happiness with cacao. it's a fun ...
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?
Wow Id like to hear more on this from other people as well. I am not sure where to get info on things like this either- I just know my personal experience with a low carb diet. I still believe in low carb for the most part but plant based live foo...
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...

Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.

What other book can you recommend Angus?...staying with those kinda ideas, living in alignment with nature, natural hygiene, fruit diets, fasting (or anyone else :).
You know, I'm aware that we made some groundbreaking discoveries in recent years ...
I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...
