I have had teaching in South Korea in the back of my mind. Is it possible to eat raw and vegan while there or is it very difficult? Anybody know? I have heard it is unsafe to eat fruits and veggies there.

I have decided to do a two week water fast starting tomorrow. I have done two seven day water fasts in the past two years with good results and want to try a longer fast. I am looking for direction and clarity on where to go next in my life. Does anyone have any experience doing a two week water fast? Did you have energy while on it? What were your results from the fast?

One of the real reasons I went raw around three years ago was because I was unhappy and wanted to be a happier person. One thing that disappointed me at first was that I didn't feel happier although physically I loooked so much better. Anyways, quitting a job that I dreaded going to last October and getting certified in yoga have really helped me to become a happier person. I look forward to each day so much more! Also, I started taking improv acting classes and acting classes which helped me to…

So, honestly my ideal weight is 116 - 120 lbs. Right now I am ranging from 126 - 128 lbs eating very high raw. It seems the only time I am at my ideal weight is when I am juice fasting or eating zero nuts and fats. I am not sure if I should accept that my average weight is 126 - 128 or if I should try and get down to my ideal weight by restricting my fat intake a great deal. I just feel that I like the way I look better when I am about ten lbs lighter. However, I do love to have my raw desserts…

I love teaching yoga over working at a desk all day long. I love being connected with my body and doing something that is good for me and helping others to connect with themselves. I am up to teaching four classes a week now and just got back from teaching tonight. What can I say? I love it! I have had six people sign up for my eight class yoga series and love everyone in there!

Why is it so difficult? I want to try and be 100% raw from now until I leave for Kripalu. Just because I think it is the healthiest way to eat for my body, mind, spirit and soul. My new motto will be "just say no". when I get vegan cooked cravings, just say no! No matter how much my body is saying yes to cooked vegan I will try and say no. Wish me luck.

I have decided I really want to start wearing clothing made of 100% organic cotton. I was doing some research online to try and find some affordable clothing. Does anyone out there have a good product line they use that is affordable? I saw that american apparel has some organic clothes, levis came out with organic jeans, and there is a store called patagonia that is near me in Atlanta that is 100% organic. I almost want to sell my clothes at some thrift store and just buy all new clothes. If an…

I have an older dog, about 12 years old. She is starting to get cysts growing on her and lately she has been throwing up a yellow color. I don't know what to do for her, I have tried feeding her raw foods and she won't eat any of it. I have a suspision that our roommate is feeding her junk food but I have told her not to and I think she still might be. I feel like daisy (my dog) needs to fast or just eat pure foods but I don't want to make her worse. I don't know how to help animals heal. Help,…

It feels like slowly but surely it is getting easier and easier to eat completely raw. I drink lots of green smoothies lately, drink veggie juice, and make a gourmet dessert like once a week, as well as eat flax crackers and granola for snacks. So, far I haven't really had any cravings for any cooked foods. Wish me luck going 60 days!

So, I have eaten 100% raw for six days now and only have 54 more days to go. That is pretty cool.
It really helps that I love flax crackers and know how to make raw granola now. These are good when you have the munchies. I also love my desserts, so I never feel tempted to eat unhealthy ones.

I was watching this documentary last night and it was very good and I highly recomend all of you watch it if you are able to. It explains GMO's and how certain big companies have pattons on GMO seeds and farmers are being forced to buy their seeds from these large money hungry corporations. It made me afraid for our food supply and I wander how this affects organic produce.
Anyways, on another note, I am going to make an effort to start juicing more veggies. I used to drink LOTS of vegetable jui…

So, I did eat raw yesterday but have not been eating 100 % raw, I always eat vegan and mostly raw fruits and veggies though. I am trying to get back into the swing of things. It really helps when I experiment with different recipes because raw foods are so delicious. Well, wish me luck everyone :) I also just recently started school and am taking lots of theater classes, voice classes and even a piano class. Hopefully once I get adjusted to my new schedule I can get swinging with raw again :)

Today is my 9th day eating raw on my new 60 day challenge and it is going very well. It feels like it is getting easier and easier and this 9 days has flown by! I feel like I am getting more creative in the kitchen and better at putting flavors together. I have been eating simply with lots of smoothies and salads as well as a few gourmet meals. Although I tend to make my gourmet meals on the lighter side rather than super heavy with nuts. Anyway, I am proud of myself and feel the next 51 days wi…
