Made up a healthy and tasty dish the other day I call GuacoSalad.
Avocado in a bowl (1 medium)
Diced tomato 1/3
Diced onion 1/4
Diced garlic (1 clove)
Diced cucumber (1/2 medium)
Squeeze 1/2 lemon and a little pulp
Add some black pepper and papri...
Thanks Curtis, great info.
I have only use Stevia to sweeten, and have stopped eating raw desserts out at raw restaurants. Of course I am on a mission to get rid of my diabetes, so, unfortunately, I can't indulge in some of the great raw desserts...
Good Point. However Mackey built his business from the ground up. He did not come from an elite family like G.W. who was "installed" as a CEO instead of earning it.
Background
Mackey began his first health food store, Safer Way, in his garage in ...
Did you transition cold turkey, or lead into it? What was your diet like before the challenge?
I transitioned over 3 to 4 weeks and it wasn't bad at all, i.e. no withdrawal. Did you have any symptoms?
To Your Health!

Yes, the guy could be right, left, or center I don't care. Do his stores offer a good product? If so, I will buy (and do). Whatever his views are, he has a right to express them. Plus, unless he has a direct agenda (as opposed to just an opinion) ...
I typically shop at Whole Foods and go about every other day. Usually I am getting a pound of the organic baby spinach for my smoothies, raw nuts, baby carrots, avocados, and fruit. Less often I'll buy Almond milk, rice protein powder, stevia, spi...
Yes, it is true what you say. Your body knows what it needs to be nourished. I transitioned from SAD to RAW over 3-4 weeks and never felt as though I was depriving myself.
Keep up the good work!

- Had an absolutely healthy, but godawful tasting smoothie, NEVER AGAIN. Here is the formula to avoid! Almond milk, walnuts, stevia, broccoli, brussel sprouts!
Does not blend well like a typical green smoothie made with spinach.

dont feel dumb! i appreciated you being willing to try and help me:)
Hey El-bo, LOL,
no bad amigo.
We'd love to have the chance to guide you through this amazing process some day.
And though I would never presume to speak for Doug and what he offers, we are in a completely different ballpark.
Yes, Tanglewood is...
Thank you so much for answering my questions! the whole idea of the diet really resonates with me, Ive been doing some research tonight and so starting tomorrow Im going to follow the basic principles from what I've read. I'm not vegan either- I f...
Thank you guys for the advice!
Freelee, i have learned about food combining before, I guess I was just hoping that in the raw environment it would be different. But it's ok! I just want to feel good.
huh...interesting...maybe that's why an apple and peanut butter level my blood sugar out. geezzz. i just suggested that. hmmnnn...i feeling kind of dumb b/c it has been one of my go to's when i have a stomach ache. i need to do some proper food co...
well...i'm pretty new to this. i'm not totally raw yet. plus, i'm just learning more about nutrition. i get bad stomach cramps sometimes when i'm running late in the morning and only have my morning coffee. on my way to work, i get cramps and don'...
Wow, that plant is so perfect is looks fake.
The best thing to do is drink green juices. Juice 2 lbs of greens per day. You are working from an old paradigm of health. Doing protein drinks doesn't help anyone. From your description you are not eating greens at all. You need to eat greens to ...
Learn about proper food combining, this is vital. Fruit is designed to be eaten alone, if eaten with fat,the fat keeps the sugar in the bloodstream for an unnatural length of time feeding problems such as candida, diabetes, adrenal fatigue etc. It...
hi-
i'm new. i started my healthy eating, well what i considered healthy eating, in 2007. that was moving away from lots of meats and fish to lower calore food and less fats. for me, that meant subway sandwiches. yes, i know, but hey..i had to st...
I'm getting ready to watch this now. Looking forward to it.
I reuse plastic bags till they're falling apart. I've gotten into the habit of always having a shopper or two with me or a rolled up plastic bag wherever I go.
Watched all 3 videos. Very compelling stuff. Looking forward to Monday's video. Thank you for sharing.
Hmmm. I've had mine for at least 10 years. I don't know about everybody else, but I find them very convenient to use. The Chico bags that is ( an no, I'm not selling them) because I can fold them up into tiny balls and stick them into my purse. Th...
In the first stage, the diet is restricted to veggies, protein, and just a few grains (eaten in very small portions). Fermented foods and sea veggies are very integral to this diet, so it sounds like you might really like the diet.
Nothing sweet ...
