Music, stress management & laughing 'till my belly hurts

Here I am, three months into being high raw and I'm not feeling great. Why? Are the superfoods not working anymore? The green smoothies just not hitting the spot? Has my body reached it's peak optimum ALREADY?!?! Surely not. No. It's not. The last three days I have spent partly in a blissed out euphoric state (for those of you who haven't heard - I saw Bon Jovi play live at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday and LOVED IT!) and partly in a very stressed out state (work has been a bit more than stre… Continue

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...
