I agree with nelaina. I buy the organic chocolate that's at least 70% cacao. If you can find it raw, all the better (i couldn't).
Wow. Best of luck on that. I lived in Kerala for 7.5 months and I think the vegetables were fine. I ate some of them raw. I got sick often, but it could have been a lot of things (such as not washing my hands properly).
After getting a stomach but...
For me, I've never been drawn big time in a craving way to carbs. I have at times gone for them too much, for various wrong reasons. I think cravings may not be too far off from what one really needs. I'm now a raw omnivore. I love eating raw fats...
I love it. What an amazing inspiration. It's so great to be able to read stories of people who have turned around in such a positive way!
That's hilarious!
I'd never had someone point out the stages of a raw food lifestyle before. I definitely felt euphoric at first. Now the cravings have come and I've caved in several times. You have no idea how happy I am that you're sharing such wisdom with me. I'...
Now that I think of it, I'm NOT eating enough calories throughout the day. Lately, I'll eat like a cucumber and a fruit smoothie in a day....and then at night I get carb hungry. But I don't get hungry during the day!!! :( Anyway, maybe it's discip...
You are really encouraging! I started well and then things got a bit rocky. But it's good to know there's support. I'm so surprised at the number of people willing to share and encourage. What a blessing! Thank you!!
I love bananas, I would eat many of them at first and I didn't have carb cravings....hmm. You are so right. Thanks for the advice! :)
Wow thanks, this really helps! Balance is critical.
i second the fruit. make sure you're getting enough calories during the day, especially from fresh fruit!! This should prevent carb cravings at night. I also munch on bananas if I'm craving carbs late-night.
Bananas help me with this. I always have bananas, in various stages of ripeness, piled in a basket in the kitchen. It's not exciting like pigging out on chips or other junk carbs, but it works if you always have a fruit snack ripe and ready to eat.

My food processor burnt out and I'm considering getting the Magic Bullet as a replacement. Can it also make things like date/nut bars as well as smoothies? Do cheap blenders work well at making daily green smoothies?
I'd get a processor/blender c...

Oh my sweetness...birds are amazing. Actually all animals are ;) Anyone can communicate with them, you just have to learn their language! All animals talk to us we just don't realize it ;) Animals are VERY emotional. They laugh, cry and mourn just...

Good for you practicing self-restraint, ESPECIALLY at "that time"!!! It can definitely be tough! Been there!
