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

coffee. creamer. sandwich bread. mayo. chips. corned beef. tofu. popcorn. pasta. cheese. ham. chicken. peanut butter. jam. white sugar. protein bars. soda.

sadly, this is my kitchen. I went off the deep end when ds went into the hospital last month. I have been full blown binging for 4 weeks and have gained FIFTEEN lbs. I was going to wait til after Easter, mainly so I could eat jelly beans with total abandon, but I can't take it anymore. My life is a nightmare. My binging is so painful, and I feel powerless to stop it. I have had binge eating problems since I was 5. I am the woman that addiction reality shows are based on. I will binge on anything.

The only time I was ever free from binging was when I was 100% raw from Sept to Feb. I am in so much emotional pain over this.

I must come back to raw. I don't know how-our $$$ is very very tight. I feel like I am robbing my children of $ if I eat raw, but it is the ONLY thing that will save me from a life of binging and morbid obesity (again).

well hello stranger! Lovely to see you again!!! Ok, first, google SuperSize me and then watch the free copy online. Then, if you do not have the book , at least read the excerpts,etc on amazon of "the china study". THEN google cheese addictions and see what you come up with there. Dude eating at mcd's put on like 15 pounds in 5 days!!!!

Now then, $$$$ is tight. I agree it is more expensive to eat healthy than to eat junk. BUT $ 4 $ when you compare the nutritional labels you get WAY more bang for your buck w/fresh foods. And you are in luck, more and more is in season right now. I got 4 bags of sugar snap peas for a $1 at wallyworld (not organic) on Sunday! Watch for markdowns or even ask if they have any they are marking down that is getting older.

Simple raw is a lot less expensive than gourmet, so keep it simple. Eat whole fruits and veggies and salads and don't have nuts and exotic things. You can actually come up with a LOT of combinations without nuts or dehydrator. Over ripe fruits/veggies are perfect for smoothies and often marked down. And do you have room to plant anything? A couple of us are having a seed exchange if you would like some seeds let me know.

I also have some great and not expensive recipes for your kids. I am right this minute cooking for them. Cook once and eat for a week. So kid friendly that they prepare on their own all week. And you will not feel like you are depriving them at all. I just spent $137 including baggies and fabric softener, etc, and got enough raw and cooked for 7 of us to eat for about 8 to 10 days easily. (parents are visiting) Let me know if you want the menu, happy to share.
