yup - pretty sick, huh? Evil, evil, evil
Thanks for the comments, guys - I really appreciate it! Hearing that she has (possibly) high cholesterol really opened my eyes. Change starts with me. She loves green smoothies and green juices (most of the time!) - if that's how she eats her vegg...
Suvine, aren't doctors kids wonderful? I went to a dentist who was recommended to me by a big raw vegan (real), supposedly this dentist was a raw vegan himself. I went to meet him and he was fat and jolly. I let him work on me. He let his kid in t...
Don't use food as a reward or punishment. Don't only bond with her over food. Find other ways to spend time together also.
And put all dips, dressing, etc ON THE SIDE. That way, they feel in control.
Some kind of cereal with flax in it would be good. If you want to ween her from chicken go wth he vegan ones sold at the store. A likd like that will neer know he differene. Raising the good fats are a good idea- if she likes fat you should try to...
Kendra, you just answered your own question. It's not just a result of eating too many animal products, but crap food in general. Incorporate fresh fruits and veggies into her diet. If she doesn't like veggies, have you tried radishes, bok choy , ...

Carla said… - Thank you, I'm so excited scared andhopeful all at the same time. So many things run through your head when your pregnant especially when your a high risk case. I have had some cheat days but I hope that Raw food will help my body be stronger and diminish or lessen the risks of my high risk history. Raw food has done so much for my life.

Charles said… - Oh, no, you weren't bothering him at all. He gets a kick out of being recognized. I first met him last summer at a raw picnic in Central Park. He's been a good friend throughout.

- I apologize. I wasn't laughing at you. Philip had mentioned to me earlier in the day that he always gets recognized now whenever he walks into a raw food place. Sure enough, there you were to say hello. I just thought it was pretty amusing.

Anita said… - Hey Kendra,
Your little girl is adorable! I have a one yr. old girl that I am so in love with. She brings me so much joy and laughter. Anywho, I read your blog. Don't beat yourself up....perfect can't be your goal. Any time you make a healthy choice & take care of yourself is a victory. Being hard on ourselves will just lead to poor food choices. Compassion, I believe, is key....although I am still trying to have more of it for myself as well. Take care, Anita

- About Me:
- I have been married for 8 years and have a beautiful 5 year old daughter. I first discovered raw in March 2008. I have been on and off raw and mostly vegan since then. My biggest motivation for going raw is weight loss. My 2009 New Years' Resolution is to re-commit to a healthy, non-processed, low sugar, all vegan, high raw diet. I am doing this for myself and my daughter - I want her to have a healthy mommy who is a good example of a healthy lifestyle.

My daughter has borderline high cholesterol
My daughter is 5 - she will be 6 in August. She had some routine bloodwork done this past Friday because I am concerned about rampant diabetes in hubby's side of the family. Fortunately, her bloodwork came back perfect - except for one thing. Her cholesterol level was 180. :( I do not know her LDL, HDL, or triglycerides yet - I need to see the report myself. The only meat she eats is chicken - unfortunately, it is usually fried. She also eats french fries when we go out to eat. She loves fruit,… Continue

Thanksgiving is making me sick
Right now, I hate this stupid holiday. I just saw part of the video where dumbass Palin is talking about pardoning a turkey while others are being butchered behind her. Until I discovered the vegan/raw lifestyle, I used to just have a few bites every year because I somehow felt anti-American unless I ate flesh. But I never enjoyed it - I never enjoyed meat in general. Like most in the SAD lifestyle, I just chose not to think about where it came from - how it got to my plate. Well, now I cannot i… Continue

Kombucha explosion
OK, I have heard so much about the wonders of kombucha, that I just had to try it. I went to Whole Foods (for the first time in a long time - closest one is about 25 miles away), and found the GT brand. I bought the raspberry one ("Synergy"). My first mistake was not really reading the bottle - it says to shake gently, and they mean it. I got in the car, gave it a few shakes, and opened it. It promptly exploded (fortunately, it wasn't too much of a mess as I didn't lose too much of it). Then I t… Continue

wow that is impressive.
Part 1: I have used Liquid Zeolites for detoxing lead from doing stained glass art for a few years and MSM for ease of movement in the joints. Both worked great.
Part 2: I have used-
Aged garlic extracts/ immune tonic and system cleanser

If someone wants to control everybody and I am allowing everyone to be free you mean?
I am sure there will be willing followers for whatever. Some people like to follow orders.
This has always been one of my healthier alternatives. However, usually our pizzas were done on French bread. Not the best healthy food mind you, but much better than restaurant pizzas!
AAHAHHAHA
AHAAHA well the book went to number one

Is about de-calcifying the body that can give us stones, cysts, scars, hardening of the arteries.
I joined this program a few months ago and it includes a pass to see him in Costa Mesa, California (near Los Angeles, the City of Angels thankfully)...
I have seen gitmr peeps drinking raw vodka and smoking raw pot whatever that is.
I think it tastes bad. I have put it in guac and that was gross and I tried drinking it mixed in water...same. Does anyone here use it and if so how.
sorry, for the messy spelling :P
thank you
I have a wonderful, close friend and we like to go out and talk over dinner, just the two of us, as they say.
He can handle drinking.
Last time, I had one 16-oz organic beer and I was hung over all the next day till 7pm.
I see why they call it ...
