So... I am only on day 3 of raw food and my stomach appears to have gotten fatter but my legs are losing weight cause my pants got looser. I think I am bloated/constipated :( Since I got off the...

-Half of one of those little watermelons
-Strawberries
-Small handful raw cashews
-Salad(romaine, spinach, tomatoes, corn, topped with 1 avocado cut into pieces, and raw "ranch dressing")

So I woke up late today and didn't have time to make breakfast or lunch to take to work. I went to the grocery store at lunch and bought some watermelon.

Todays Intake:
-A few slices of...

I also just got off the master cleanse on monday, and I made myself a nice size avocado and kale salad yesterday and it filled me up all day. I actually forgot to eat more because I wasn't hungry. I...

Yea, I actually have benadryl at home since I occassionally break out in hives. Unfortunately I'm still at work right now and don't have any on me, but luckily I get off in 20 mins! Phew.

It's been 4 hrs since lunch now, and my throat is still itching like crazy :(
I wish I would have known I was allergic before I ate two large sticks of it! Oh well, live & learn I suppose. I keep...

Thanks for the reply! The only reason I considred still eating these foods in small quantities is because I don't have a severe reaction to them, but it definitely does cause my throat to puff up...

I have always had a bad reaction to raw onions, sometimes even cooked ones if I ate too many. I get a rash on my skin if I handle/cut an onion, and my throat puffs up a bit after eating raw onions. I...

Everyone has had good suggestions. I find it kind of odd that they buy those snacks and refuse to move them somewhere other than the table...not to mention you say they don't even eat the stuff...

Thanks, I will try that :)

I was watching the video of Ani Phyo making her "Kreamy Avocado Soup" and thought it looked really good. Any ideas what I could use instead of miso?

The Ingredients List Is:
1.5 avocados
2 tblsp...

Thanks for this, as I have seen some raw recipes that called for rice and wasn't sure about it. I didn't know there was such a thing as raw rice :)

No worries, I am using the maple syrup for the cleanse and may continue to use maple syrup later on as well. I haven't decided yet, but I just want to know which foods aren't really raw, for my own...

I would have never thought to make date paste. Great idea, I'm learning more and more every day :)

Thanks, and I will check into getting some raw honey. Although my boyfriend is vegan and won't eat anything I make that has honey, oh well.

Thanks for the info! Out of the agave and maple syrup which one would you say is healthier for the body? I have grade b maple syrup since I'm doing the master cleanse but was considering buying some...

All of the pickled beets I've ever seen are loaded with sugar. I wouldn't eat them for this reason.

I'm going to have to try that apple cobbler recipe once I get a dehydrator. It sounds delish!

Oh okay. I was just curious... I don't even know what a raw olive looks or tastes like, but I do like the canned ones.

I wouldn't see why it would matter. They just get more sweet once they are ripe.

All the salads look great! Where do you all get your raw olives at though?

What are some foods that are commonly mistaken for being raw but really aren't?

I am on day 5 of 10 and feeling okay so far!

I want to try this recipe but was just wondering if you have to special order the Himalayan Crystal Salt? or should they most likely have it at my local health food store?

I am doing a 10 day master cleanse. I have heard that maple syrup isn't actually raw though but I had already started once I found that out. I have done it before and it does seem to help clean out...
