I came across this thread when it was first started, and though oil pulling sounded very strange. Now that I'm reading the thread again over a month later, I'm ready to try it. And with 14 pages of...

This is a good thread. I went 100% raw for several weeks, and decided that I was not becoming a heathier person, I was becoming very obssive, compulsive, and all I ever thought and worried about was...

3 weeks? I'm on month 6 and still have it. :eek: I see it as a good thing though, the body is cleaning itself out!

I think I've seen something like that in the store, and it was just called red kale.

Hello!

I have been 70-95% raw for the past 6 months. (Started with lower percentage, and have increased bit by bit.) I have decided to get a series of 3 colonic hydrotherapies to help further...

I have been bringing 2 20oz canteens of green smoothies to work as part of my food for the day. I make them in the morning at home, and then eat them later in the day. I'm sure you could even make...

Whenever I eat cruciferous veggies (esp. cabbage, bok choy, collard greens, broccoli...) I seem to get a headache within 5-10 minutes of eating them. Sometimes I'll even get a headache while eating,...

I'm glad you were able to find something that works for you! I'm training for a marathon, and I rely on smoothies with protein powder mixed in for my meals! :)

Those pics look delicious! Thanks for sharing! :)

For everyone wanting to try Cafe Gratitude in SF, also be sure to check out "Alive"... my favorite raw restaurant! The location is a bit...

That's a great idea! It can be hard to plan for the week and have all the food stay fresh enough by the time you're ready to eat it. Luckily, there is a good corner store near me that has great...

Do sesame seeds need to be ground up like flax seeds for my body to properly absorb the nutrients? Or can I just eat them whole?

I munch and snack on my raw foods all day long. I'll rarely go 2 hours without eating something small. Should I be eating larger portions less often to give my digestive system a break? What do...

No, I don't worry about it...I just include them in my diet. A tablespoon of ground flax seed (hidden inside a smoothie) each day will keep you covered. Walnuts are also a good source.

The only "preparing" I do is washing my fruits/veggies, and throwing them in the blender. It doesn't get much easier than that. :)

Oh yes! You are not alone! :)

I have at least 3 20oz. green smoothies per day, in addition to other raw foods. Some days I'll just have green smoothies all day!

Today I am thankful for...

-being able to spend a day at the beach over the weekend...I feel fortunate to live so close to the ocean!
-having some luck shopping...I found some new clothes that I...

I'm in for May!

I did 30 days raw in March, and mostly raw in April, but not 100%. I've started again on 100% raw, today is day 4! The May Challenge will help me keep going...

I love the...

Don't give up! :) There is a way that will be right for you...keep searching!

I am having a similar issue...I'm switiching to raw, and I'm very active. I'm not 100% raw, but I'm at least 90%. ...

I supplement with Vitamin D, plus try to get at least 10 minutes of sunlight during the weekdays. Weekends are easier, since I'm not stuck in an office all day, so I'm able to get about an hour.

I've been more adventurous about trying new foods now that I'm eating more raw...

Todays adventure was mustard greens. I packed my green smoothie to the brim with them, and WOW! are they spicy...

This morning I am thankful for...

:)

-a strong healthy body
-improved digestion
-clear beautiful skin
-my body responding positively to my yoga practice
-the improvement in my running...

I have a question about protein powder and food combining.

If I have my hemp protein powder drink (which is liquid), how does that combine? Should I drink that first before anything else since it...

Today I am grateful for...

:)

-sitting outside on a gorgeous sunny morning (vitamin D!)
-the nourishment of wheatgrass juice
-quiet time to practice yoga this morning
-a productive, yet low...

Good thread Miss Linda! :)

When I discovered this lifestyle (very recently--only a month ago) I was doing a lot of reading on fasting and cleansing. I almost wanted to do a fast...and a colon...

Count me in! March was my first month, and I'm ready to go for it again. I've gone through the most difficult times already, (I hope!) as far as cravings, so I know this month will be easier. I've...
