OK I submit, I cannot fast I need to chew and I really miss the texture of food. I am not giving up on raw just fasting.

I have tons of Raw (Uncook) Books and have been experimenting with my own recipes so I will continue to eat high raw with some fish and or sea food, not much. Also wondering how you guys feel about shirataki noodles.

I love them as they are just 100% fiber. You do not cook them, I guess you could if you choose but it is not required. To be blunt they come out in the same condition that they go in, meaning that they pass right through you whole.

So that is where I am and I am fine with it. I will still have my GS but in addition to my raw meals and of course I will continue juicing. I believe that each of us need to find our own comfort place on this journey and this is mine. Maybe one day I will be ready to fast, I truly hope so as I would love to experience an extended fast.

Hope everyone is well.

    I've tried to fast SO much too and I just can't do it. Somehow I think that it will happen eventually...the longer we are raw and all. I eventually want to intermittently fast because it activates a gene that fights disease/cancer and utilizes stem cells in the creation of new cell generation. Google it, the studies are awesome.

    Hi Sygma,

    I am so with you, I think that the most important thing is to be as raw as possible. I too want to be able to fast and hopefully I will get there but for right now I need to chew (LOL).

    I will check out the studies that you mentioned.

    Blessings.

    Good observation about yourself. I am not into fasting either, at this point.
