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

I feel like I'm starting to come out of my lapse. I really do feel and think that "Dairy" "Ice Cream" the other day messed me up hormonely for one and sent me on an emotional downward spiral. I'm really grateful for this awareness and for the experience because, I it allowed me to reflect to my childhood and see how I had the same feelings and reactions from Milk. So, interesting.

I think all this is bringing me closer to who I am. When I was a kid I did not like any meat and was forced to get used to it. Not sure about the dairy but, the meat....yes! I think intuitively as a child I knew I was Vegan without knowing that or even what that was. Hehe! I feel I'm coming home to this.

I have been home the last few days and that really helps me to stay Raw. No temptations but, raw ones. ;) Speaking of I made my first Cashew based ice cream. Chocolate/Chocolate chip. Oh My Goodness. I think it's gonna be a fattening Winner! :)

I think the reason why I can't drop down my weight is I eat too much fat and I also eat more then I used to. So, I'm not stressing over it right now but, I think I'd like to try another Green Smoothie and Juice fast next week. I did good the one time I did it with Knitster because, I prepared way in advance. So, I am starting to prepare myself mentally and emotionally for this. I will do 3 days and shoot for 7. Sounds doeable to me. ;) I haven't picked a day yet but, it will be in the middle to the end of the week.

Beware: Poo talk below

I also have been on a Colon/Parasite Cleanse for almost 2 months of a 3 month cycle and I've been taking a clove of garlic daily for over a week now and I found some mucus in my poo tonite (which I've been eliminating alot this week) but, I also saw a thin, long white thing. I have never seen anything like that before. I was wondering if it was a parasite. I posted about it in the living section to see if anyone might know. I don't.

Todays Food:

B: 1/2 Honeydew melon

S: 1 Banana

L: Spinach leaves with Broccoli salad on top and Pineapple around the edges on a small plate.
1/2 Carrot/Orange Cake Mini Loaf

S: 5-6 Large Strawberries

S: 1/2 RawVolution Bar
Handful of Cinnamon Almonds

S: 1/2 Grapefruit and sampling chocolate/chocolate chip ice cream. I hope I can sleep.

I feel strange commenting on your poo but this "thin white thing"...are we talking spaghetti like? rice like? or flat like fettucine? Wait...did I just become a poo detective?? Awesome!

Hey Jen, you know we have the same problem with the weight issue! I agree with you that my fat intake is probably way up there too...Especially because I make a lot of nut pate's and snack on nuts too.... Gotta watch that guac also. But, you do eat a lot of fruit which is good... Hey, what is that RawVolution Bar you ate?

Hi xinmywayx,
hahahah! I would have to say it was more spaghetti like but, thinner.

Hey Nee',

Go to Rawindulgence.com they are soooooooooo good! Yea, I"m eating alot more fruit and I think it's giving me more energy so, if I can decrease the fat I bet I'll do really well.

I'm not giving you an opinion here because I know nothing about parasites, but I do trust that YOU were right all along about needing that parasite cleanse! You have such a strong intuition. I might have poo-pooed (pun intended) the parasite idea, good thing you didn't ignore it. Which cleanse were you using? Will you need to add friendly bacteria back into your system when it is over?

I want to modify my diet for a short period, too. April 9 is a full moon. I'm going to a presentation by Victoria and Valya Boutenko that evening. Seems like the perfect day to start a green smoothie fast. :)

have you read The China Study? It's crazy what dairy does to our bodies.

Knitster, I am still doing "Organic Research" and it has probiotics that you take also. I have another month after this one with a week off inbetween. Thank you for the acknowledge on my intuition. I need to learn to listen better for me. ;) hehehehe

Rawchic, No I haven't read it. That would be interesting. Thanks
