What form of B12 do you take?
Well, I know the world isn't in perfect health, but even though veggies and fruits will have less vits than they used to - they will still have plenty if we eat enough. Pre 'supplements' how did ma...

I've not started raw yet (but I do eat lots of raw fruit and tend to cook my own things from scratch etc, not junk), and this is something I was worrying about too. I hardly ever drink, and once I ...

Newbie here - why do you need to take supplements on a RAW food diet? Surely all the fruit and veg gives you enough vitamins? I've never taken supplements and am not keen on starting. Also, most vi...

This is a relief to read - I have been to alot of online Raw food type places and they are very much wanting to convert me to going 100% raw. At the moment at least, it is not going to work with my lifestyle. One day, when I can grow all my own th...
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Artist/Painter/illustrator/Photographer and Bellydancer.
Thats not very insightful is it - I have painted/drawn before I could walk and now it is my profession. Its not making millions yet, but one day.... ONE DAY!! I am a portrait painter and fantasy/horror illustrator - and the Bellydancing started as a hobby and I now teach it!
I have always been attracted to the healthy living thing - but I am weak (bacon!), and don't think i'd ever go 100% but i'm open to surprises. I have spent time in the past juicing regularly, but found it not very satisfying - I like to feel i've eaten something (although would be happy for a juice for brekky).
I am friendly and open and unfortunately have to be anonymous on here because of very scary internet experiences in the past. I am very happy to have found this site - I think its the jump start I need!
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- Seriously want to be as raw as possible - but don't know how!! I'm worried about the impact it will have with my family, friends and my partner (obviously not worried about the health benefits!). I still want to be able to enjoy meals out with friends and family and not become an outcast (our family eat alot of meat). I have never been a vegetarian, but have done juicing for a while (but not currently) and i loved it - but its very time consuming the juicing. I think I could do a 75% raw diet - maybe more. I am put off by the 'you have to be 100% RAW' folks, and hats off to them for 100%, but its not something I am particularly interested in (at the moment). What I worry about is not getting enough of the right things - ie, I want to make sure I get a varied enough range of all the proteins, fats, etc with the things I eat.

Survivorman owns Grylls.
Yay for Man vs Wild! Also Survivorman ftw ^_^
Spell weaver? You mean mage or are you talking about Jewelcrafting? Inscription maybe? Sure it's not another game? :P
That sounds like a new disease..affluenza..
Right--it's good in smoothies too. It's a necessity when there's no fruit in there!
In water with a twist of lemon or lime, in teas, in water (with flavored stevia), and with millet or quinoa.
Thanks, Jeff. This looks good too.
Hi Lizz,
I haven't tried yacon; I think it's still too sweet, technically. I believe stevia is truly the only natural sweetener that is not a form of sugar. When I add vanilla flavor and a little coconut oil to the stevia, it's kind of like maple...

People, with what do you combine (green) stevia? With honey, yacon or something else...?

The opposite is NOT true (lesbian women loving men...), so is there something wrong with men?
Just so everyone knows we have been farming organic for over 10 years by CCOF out of Santa Cruz. We grow almonds, pistachios, prunes and raisins. We, as all organic almond farmers, were really upset when the Almond Board of California began mandat...
