I've been a pescatarian since 1997, a strict vegetarian since 98, gave up honey last year and began my raw food journey early in 2008.
Initially i was attracted to the lifestyle/diet as a way of healing my chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome, but i've discovered so much more about myself along the way, And such wonderful food, so full of life & flavour just as nature intended =). Green smoothies rock my world!
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Perhaps a mentoring/buddy system & lots of local & international networking jazz :).

I know this fourum is great because of the people it attracts but not so great to express my artistic me in any way lol
That's why (though it's almost dead these days) I kept my myspace page and use it as a kind of billboard to say what I have to say, well I still keep it simple though.
My weekend should be fun, it's a super sunny day so I will take the kids to the beach in a minute and then they go off with their dad till tomorrow, yay so I will be going out tonight for a change.....Hope you'll have a great one too my lovely.......Take care

I've been the opposite. I think I was an idealist all my life, but I've grown far more cynical as I get older. It's hard to see optimism when I see people getting fatter and sicker and the world gets more and more polluted. The more I learn about world politics and globalization, the more I think this planet is doomed. But, hey, I'll do my best to reverse that trend.
You shouldn't feel ashamed to have fallen off the raw wagon. I'm sure that's happened to everyone on here at some point. In fact, it's during those moments that you should get on here, for support and to inspire you back on track. It's great to have you back on here.
As for being raw while it's cold, it honestly doesn't bother me. But if I did want something hot, I'd stick to tea. Grab yourself a cuppa!
Hey Kat, Will be in Brizvegas next weekend i think.. drop us an email if you're around and want to catch up over a smoothie ;-) lucystegley AT gmail.com
I would like to buy one book, ( I already have the Complete Book of Raw but there are not a lot of photos and I am visual).
I am thinking of Ani Phyo's book but wanted to here what you had to say.
My situation is in regards to ingredients I can g...
Amen, Loren. So do you feel the same way about blending then? The whole fiber is still there with blending so not improving on nature as much as sort of 'pre-chewing', if you will
I'm planning to start enemas too (I think when my roommate will leave next month...). Of course it's unnatural, but we have eaten unnatural for years and years and I believe it can help a lot getting out the waste.
I just wanted to ask, what water...
I have a full size Excalibur that I never use. What an investment huh?
I just found I prefer my fruit n veggies simply prepared, I have little patience for the dehydrator. Ive seen the magical things people prepare with it though, so if you like m...
