I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

So i felt absolutely amazing this morning... and then everything went worse- and i noticed that it happened after dried figs ( i had a Lot i admit) and most importantly- Odwalla smoothie...right away, my stomach got weird...started "bubbling" or whatever and became an inflated baloon... maaaaaan this sucks! after that i kept eating here and there and WHILE I ALREADY feel like a pregnant monster (sorry lol i don't know why i have such a description) i feel like eating even more because i can't even tell when i'm full (I"M FULL OF AIR ALL THE TIME!!!)

So i guess i react badly to dried fruit and flash-pasteurised commercial smoothies.... i reallllllllllly want to go on a juice fast or smth (i went on one for just a day last week and felt MARVELLOUS MAAAAAAAARVELLOUSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Perhaps tonight i'll go get a whole bunch of produce to be on a juice fast tomorrow....uhhh this bloating and stomach discomfort have been following me for WEEKS... i know i basically have to give a rest to my digestive system... how i wish i had another raw foodist to support me!

Oh my goodness dried fruit doesn't agree with me either...I have terrible bloating and gas with that stuff...Only in moderation will I ever eat it!
I will support you! I wish I knew more about raw foods, to give you advice. Right now I'm reading David Wolfe's Sunfood Diet book...it seems pretty useful (as long as I keep my bullshit filter on lol) I need all the motivation and help I can get....I's so hard being 100% raw, especially as a cook with all of the smells and food available...SO HARD...but totally worth it...I've lost 15 pounds in just three weeks! It's really incredible! But i'm still only around 90% raw...It's probably a good idea to do a juice fast...maybe I'll try that...

Hehe i think Wolfe's books are extremely informative. if you're not into his "stuff" just try to set it aside

when i "went raw" i was working for the college cafeteria! so the smells and everything was there! it was a bit tough.. but not really- i loved smelling it..yet i would not want to eat it :) and most importantly i saw students stand in line for the food- and they all looked so lifeless, sleepy, overweight, and confused..AAA!

I think they are informative about nutrition. And that's about it. I just don't think he knows anything about evolution, and I'm not really a big fan of his poetry haha...

Yeah I guess I don't have much willpower...That's why I love the raw food lifestyle because there are clear boundaries of what you can and can't eat, where before on other diets I would see a cookie or some pasta and figure that it wasn't TOO bad, and then the horrible junk food cycle would begin again. I still eat some things like condiments that aren't raw, but are still organic. It sounds like you have been raw for awhile...How long?
