This looks so good!!!
I don't think it's uncommon to have viruses which were previously dormant, activate themselves in your system when you make a drastic change allowing your body to detox. It is a type of healing crisis, although it can be hard on the body. I agree ...
Hello Snowfall,
I'm new to the group and I know that this is an old post, but with that being said I saw it and it caught my eye and I just had to add a comment! I hope you are doing well and making great big strides to becoming the new you! I sor...
Thanks for contributing such a positive message!!
I’ve missed this site. Its only been about a month but I really missed reading everyone’s blogs everyday. Life has just been so busy lately. All work and no play !!!! I made a decision in December to really look into improving my health and GITMR ...
*experienced (I don't get body aches anymore)
I experience similar body/muscle aches. This is called ketosis. It's when the body goes into starvation mode. I wasn't eating enough in the beginning because I was experimenting and didn't know any better. You say that you're first go at 100% didn...
Also, get a cheap combo immersion blender/food processor. Mine was about $25 and while it's not exactly a vitamix, it gets the job done. Smoothies and stuff made in the food processor is a great way to get lots of nutritious calories quickly. I ma...
I'm not usually for micromanaging diets, but in the beginning you may need to. Most people (including me) have grown up not really thinking about nutrients every day. Right now as your body changes to a better diet you need it to have all the stre...
Also, it looks like the day you started feeling sick, you ate practically nothing. Just one pear, and you expect to make it through a shift of work? EAT, WOMAN! :)
The easiest way to do this, I think, is just to always have raw food on hand for th...
Wow, these are great posts for a tough topic, be gentle with yourself Snowfall, or let us be gentle with you :-) Sometimes it's not just physical detox. You might feel a lifting of all the numbing patterns that have kept you in a safe space and su...
Paul you hit on some great points!
"i transitioned in to being 100% over about two years, and when i went all the way it was necessary for me to do it because what cooked i did eat i binged on."
Currently my version of raw is my green smoothies...
hey Snowfall...great feedback so far that you've gotten from others--i love this site! i can identify with Blackmajik Womban here...my path to raw was so entwined with food addiction and just kind of an obsessive and compulsive way of eating and l...
hey Sno, even though I'm still a newbie I have some thoughts on this...
Personally I have found that when I keep planning (and keep failing) its not because of lack of will/desire, its because of an addiction to something...its because I'm denyin...
Hi Snowfall just go at your own pace. Be easy on yourself. Use green smoothies to control cravings and make you feel better.
Also I am loving my black tea to keep me energized and not hungry during the day.
But you know what is best for you. Enjoy...

Its only been a month but i've really missed GI2MR//Update
I’ve missed this site. Its only been about a month but I really missed reading everyone’s blogs everyday. Life has just been so busy lately. All work and no play !!!! I made a decision in December to really look into improving my health and GI2MR has played a crucial part in making that happen. Since December I have lost about 32lbs and for me that is amazing especially since I struggle with binge eating and exercise is just a word to me. Some of my binges can be up to 8,000 calories well that w… Continue

My first completely raw week did not go as well as i would have hoped.//// How did you transition to raw? Help please
So I’ve been steering myself towards a completely raw food diet since December. I've been juicing/making green smoothies and trying new recipes in the many books on Raw food i've purchased. However I have never gone a day completely raw. I have tried to do breakfast and dinner raw and some days i do great but most day i give into temptation. So this last week i was determined to completed a raw day and that turned into 4days. I was so proud of myself and i felt great until day five. I woke up ar… Continue

Afraid of being Thin
Ok so its Easter and i have been relaxing all day. Not doing anything actually no tv, no radio just thinking. Not good in some ways. I started looking into raw food because im afraid of dying young and it being because i didnt take better care of myself. With that said, I have used my weight to hide me. I have never liked the fact that men find me attractive. I know that is a strange thing to say but its true. I developed early i went from a chubby little girl at 9 to a very shaply preteen at 11… Continue

Veggie Cravings
Ok, i must admit. I have always been one to hate veggies, Especially raw. Salad! Me! Never! I've been drinking green smoothies everyday since february because i thought i could not stomach salad. I loved the comfort of cooked food. So why did i go food shopping and purchased Organic lettuce, Avocadoes and spinach and driving i just could not stop thinking about eating them. I opened the bad of spinach and tasted a leaf. It was really good, by the time i got home i had eaten half the bag.… Continue

Try Try Try again
Ok so i've been slowly trying to transition from a meat eater to a raw vegan. I am struggling a lot. The not eating meat part is easy. Im struggling with the raw part. I do good durning the day, then i get these late night cravings and i always end up eating something i shouldnt. I've made a lot of progress and even with my late night slipups i have lost 9lbs since i started on my birthday witch was March 3. I know this is the way for me, but why is it so darn hard. I know i shouldnt eat eat Fre… Continue

Savrah said… - hey there! sprout info...there's lots of it on the web. i like the website of the sproutman, steve meyerowitz. i'm not sure the url- google it. he has a couple good books too. ann wigmore has a good book, i think it's called the sprout book. you can really start with any guidelines and you will figure it out yourself, it's so easy! also, please ask me any specific questions you have.

Jay said… - You're Welcome!! You can get some guidance from those books and also use your own intuition and try different things as well. As long as you feel good internally and physically you're doing the right thing!!!

- Hi, I read several books when I first started the raw lifestyle. Victoria Boutenkos books were very helpful "12 Steps to Raw Foods " and "Green For Life". The best advice that I can give you is to stick with it and listen to your body.
Also, thanks for the compliment!!!

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.

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...

Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)
