I heard on the news this morning that this study DID NOT test for antibiotics or pesticides on the organic food.....so I don't know how reliable this so-call study is...
I've been raw as of 10/9/08 and have released 40+ lbs. so far. I am feel a whole lot better and believe I made the right choice to go raw. On December 27, 2008, I started a one month total juice feast and then later swtiched to a modified juice feast ( which consists of 2-3 quarts of juice and a salad or 2-3 cups of energy soup per day) for 2 weeks. I am now still drinking a minimum 1 quart of juice a day along with continuing to follow a 100% raw food diet. I am also a Certified Living on Live Food Raw Chef. I feel very blessed that I have found a way to become a better me. I made my dog go raw on February 14, 2009 and she also loves it too!

Hi Teresa! Hope you're doing well. I've been thinking about getting into juice, and I thought of you. How did your juice feast go? What did you drink? Any tricks to share for juice feasting in upper Manhattan? :)
Hola chica :) I am doing mighty fine. Lovin my Choco more and more each day. What an absolute delight to finally bond & connect with as well as deeply love an animal. I want a kitty next ;)
Hope you are doing well. I am really digging ripe plantain-mango-naner smoothies right now. Just need to try adding some fresh organic spinach to make a green smoothie. Don't know why I keep putting it off...
Hello long lost friend, Amber here. I know you must think I dont luv you anymore but the sad truth is that my world has been upside down and I have nothing happy to update you with. In any case, I hope all is well with you and hopefully we can enjoy some of this lovely weather together sometime soon. xoxoxoxo
Thanks, Teresa -- It's nice to hear from you. Maybe be can meet sometime at Raw Soul -- that probably about halfway between us. I admire your commitment and your progress. It would be lovely to have an uptown raw friend!
Hmmm. I've had mine for at least 10 years. I don't know about everybody else, but I find them very convenient to use. The Chico bags that is ( an no, I'm not selling them) because I can fold them up into tiny balls and stick them into my purse. Th...
In the first stage, the diet is restricted to veggies, protein, and just a few grains (eaten in very small portions). Fermented foods and sea veggies are very integral to this diet, so it sounds like you might really like the diet.
Nothing sweet ...

What do you eat in the first stage? I really think I am going to try and get this book because I always crave fermented, savory foods and sea veggies. Do you eat animal protein?
