Yeah total. We have a running club here in FLA that's all raw athletes. I'll get you a shirt for free. It's Pearl Izumi tech gear too. Their club called RawForce. It's part of a local NPO.

I went to the Cafe Gratitude in San Francisco. I wish there was one in Louisville... I'd eat there everyday!!!
As far as hormones... Jeez it is an interesting phase in my life. I just went to my local health food store yesterday and spoke with one of the herbalists. She really helped and suggested I use Wild Yam instead of the creams because most I'm finding have parabens in them. I do not have children and I have been told peri-menopause can come on earlier if you don't.
It seems like a lot of people who are on raw diets benefit in balancing out hormones and diseases. I would just put out a post on the forum regarding Hypothyroidism you will be surprised at how many people understand and have great advice.
Have a wonderful week and thanks for caring.
If you want to avoid the sugar spike, you might want to think about a smoothie instead of juice. It's the fiber in fruit that slows the absorption of natural sugar. By removing the fiber (which the juicer does) you may experience a sugar spike. Typically fruits and fats should not be combined but you can always dilute sweet juices with water or use them as a base for green juice. Hope that helps!
For pre-bedtime, I would stick to more veggies and less fruits since you won't need the sugars for energy at the end of the day. The Green Lemonaide on my blog is one of my favorites and is good as either a juice or a smoothie. Most of the time, I just look into the fridge for whatever inspires me. I love juiced cucumber, celery and zucchini as a base and I don't forget the spices! Parsley is so refreshing but cilantro and mint are lovely too. While I stay away from heavy fruits at night, I usually use an apple or a pear or some pineapple to lighten the green taste.
That's hilareous. My husband looks at the sun to make himself sneeze. There's some weird phenomena that 10% of the population has that looking at the sun makes them sneeze.

Hi Loren. Dillon is 6 years old, very skinny and eats like a horse, I have noted in the past that when he has had a virus and been suffering from fever and lack of appetite that his autism is less severe.
celery is hugely important in my diet,as i dont add salt to anything..when i do have the occasional piece of sunbread or raw chocolate which contains salt,i reallllly feel it quite negatively....
great advice Loren :)
Great points RG you're right, one size dosent fit all. For me it was purely a health thing to start, but then as you so well described it, the layers started peeling back. It really took me by surprise, was very unexpected, which is why I now just...
Hi Nicole,
How old is your son? As far as diet, I would be giving him plenty of fruit, and plenty of simple salads, including lots of tomatoes and perhaps some celery as both are high in sodium.
But as I understand it, salt cravings are usually ...
