You should add green smoothies to your diet. You'll get a lot more greens in your diet. I've lost 30 lbs since I added green smoothies. I'm going to do a 30 100% raw diet in January... I just don't crave the cooked food anymore.
omg its my little buddy Watermelon.....
i have lost 6 kilos in 6 weeks from going from high fruit low fat to high greens lower fruit and moderate fat,its great to lose excess...i train alot as you know....but i believe once things balance out and...
Haha, that's what I'm shooting for. Why do you suppose that is, is it a matter of remineralization, giving up emotional eating patterns, hormone rebalancing?
are you feeling better on these diets though? If you do, don't stress, it will happen. I heard lots of people not losing weight on raw for a while and then suddenly it all started to come off.
I'd like to have slightly textured / matte messed up look. Typically when I get out of the shower and just brush my hair around with my fingers i get it right. But once it dries up it all becomes one.
How can I best maintain that look with a "non...
yep... its the magnesium, you absorb it through your skin
You might find doing a fruit and green smoothie-concentrated diet helpful in the beginning, since they're easiest to digest. When your digestion starts to normalize you can go back to including more raw veggies and salads, nuts, ect.

- currently recovering from a life long battle with bulimia. I gave birth to very heathy and beautiful baby boy on september 21st 2008. Around the same time my 2 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with Autisim, and since then we have switched his diet from a sad diet to a gluton free dairy free diet. I dont believe that I will ever recover from bulimia but I know that I can be healthier and happier, and so thats why i'm here.

Chava said… - congradulations on the baby and thanks for joining raw toddlers and babies. i also had my 3rd baby August 30 too! Plus i have a 2.5 & 1.5 year olds. My biggest challenge is getting them to try more salads and chopped veggies, since they are so used to softer smoother foods. :)

Jennifer said… - Hi! You look beautiful! Congrats on your second baby! I was anorexic for many many years but after having children, and allowing myself to love myself I'm happy to say that I do not suffer any longer. the only thing that remains is some body dismorphia and I'm not sure if that ever goes away. But I know what I think that I see isn't probably really there and check in with my hubby from time to time. It's good to someone to keep me in check, you know?
LOTS OF LOVE! If you need any tips for staying raw during your pregnacy please feel free to contact me!

Detoxing?
Yesterday was not one of my best days in this pregnancy. I felt tired, depressed, emotional, irritable, headachy, and restless. I usually have cravings for some cooked food at somepoint everday but yesterday they were the strongest. I survived but was a little worried. Is it detox? pregnancy? both? should I be worried?I see the doctor tomorrow, and the therapist. i've gained almost 5 pounds since the puring stopped, and so i'm pleased. I hope the doctor has good news for me about my bloodwork fr… Continue

Bad News
all of my bloodtests have come back negative. I'm severly anemic, I have very low blood platelets, and I have gestational diabetes, and the worst part is that its all my falt. My doctor said this is all due to the fact that I had an extreame eating disorder and never got proper care in time. She said that she highly reccomends that I get what my body needs quickly because i'm high risk and could go into labor any time in the next 10 weeks and if I do there is a good chance that I will have compl… Continue

the effect cooked food has on me after only a little over 2 weeks raw
last night I made a super nutritious veggie and kale soup with lentil beans for my family, and actually had a bowl of it with a piece of sprouted grain bread and earth balance. My first un purged cooked meal in over two weeks. I woke up a couple of hours ago, around 4am with a horrible back ache and soreness all over that was so bad that I thought I could be in labor. on top of that my constipation that I thought was gone forever suddenly came back. I'm starting to feel a little better now after… Continue

This is what my mom recommends too. The thing is I live in a high-rise building in NYC, so I'm definetely not "grounded".
The grounding bed technology makes sense, but it doesn't feel natural to me. Has anyone tried it? Did you notice any changes...
So here is the deal... I have been running since Jan 2009 and doing this 8/1/1 thing (trying to be 100% but not yet) I am running in the California International Marathon Dec 6th and training is going fine running 2 to 4 times off and on a week fo...
Such a handsome boy.
thanks funny man!
Without fruit:
Bell pepper juice (very colorful and festive... red, orange, yellow)
Jicama juice (sweet milky)
Carrot juice with pumpkin pie spice
Cashew nutmilk with pumpkin pie spice
With fruit:
spinach and pineapple
spinach and coconut water
Would soaking them help? I've read that nuts in general has alot of anti-nutrients & soaking is always suggested.
Does anyone make raw recipes for their pets? Do you think it's healthy for dogs to not eat meat?
I LOVE this post. you have nailed on the head so many things that I think, about religion, food, dogma, etc.
It's true that so many legalistic people do not realize that what they're doing may come off badly to others; just trying to find what is...
No I haven't heard of it, I'll look into it thanks!
I'm trying to see the humor in the situation lol.
Hi,
Sorry to disappoint u, but you should never eat raw chestnuts. They're poisonous! They contain tannin a toxic substance. I used to let my dog play around with them until I learned about the tannin. It's highly toxic for animals (they can die f...

So I've been 60-100% raw for the past few weeks different people have told me I smell like pot, like I just finished smoking it or something! I can't smell a thing AT ALL but this has come from different people at different times so I guess I fina...
