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?

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!
I want to spread the word of the benefits of a raw food lifestyle to as many as possible. I enjoy fitness, eating raw, and summer in the Windy City (Chicago)

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.

Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
Hi Jeff,
Every organism is completely self-healing. When sick or badly injured enough, every species will lie down and rest completely. Fasting itself has no curative power, but when we stop processing food (the single most energy expensive proce...
