Probably sounds weird...but it's like...say you tell someone they can't have bananas for a month...what will they want? Nothing but bananas!

So was the way with me. I thought I had to be 100%....

Once a week. The scales are your guide, not your god.

I recently ran out of nuts & haven't bought anymore. To get some fat, I've been eating my avocados, olive oil & coconut oil. And I've been eating some raw pumpkin seeds as well. I find my tummy...

I find that I do this now. I came from a place in my life in which I was eating every 2 hours. Food on top of food. Blah. Didn't liked the feeling plus it was all that SAD food. With raw foods,...

This is day 7 for me on my 9 day fast. I have been drinking water with freshly squeezed lemon in it. Today, it tastes very strange. I can't explain it. It just taste odd to me. So does the...

It's 9 degrees out with a windchill factor of -1 here. BRRRR.

I'm drinking warm lemon water to stay warm. If I was not on a fast, I'd be eating foods with a lot of fat in them as fat will also...

I totallly agree with you about the suntan products! I stopped wearing that stuff a long time ago. And as long as I am eating raw, my body will respond positively to sunlight. No suntan or...

Can someone please tell me if I am on the right track here in regards to this?

I have fairly pale skin and all my life, I have burned very, very easily being out in the sunlight. However, I...

The raw date nut torte would make a great dessert. I have non-raw friends who just can't get enough of it when I make it.

It's always difficult for me during the winter time as I live in a very cold climate & nothing ever sounds as soothing as a steaming bowl of hot soup. But right now-even though it's supposed to drop...

Can you please list some here? I eat very simply but once in awhile, I like something heavier. But I do not like to spend too much time in the kitchen nor do I like to use too many ingredients at...

I love finding produce on sale!

It wasn't too cheap but the other day, I found organic avos for $1.50 a piece...well, cheaper....considering that ther regular avos are usually $2 a piece.

Even...

I've gone through those days, too. Some days, I eat more than normal. Other days, I might have a banana and a salad with olive oil & that's it. There have also been days-because I wasn't hungry-I...

I had this moment the other day...I did nothing but eat and eat and eat raw nuts. It felt like a binge! But then, I wonder if it truly were a binge or perhaps, maybe, my body just needed the fats. ...

Sometimes I wonder where I would be now if I had stuck to this for XXX amount of months. Of course, I let other things get in my way & all & went backwards instead of forward.

Recommitting came by...

Moretta, I, too, came off of a low carb diet. Don't be scared to eat the foods that nature intended for us to eat! I decided not to be afraid & went full force into it...of course, for a month, I...

Stacie, I do not see what my husband did as him sabotaging my efforts. I STILL could have protested & said no to the burger and fries. I had that CHOICE. But I opted not to. So that was my...

My sister just sent me an e mail with a poem and one part of the poem read:

"When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there."

So don't hurry the journey. Enjoy...

I am a simple person by nature so simplicity has always been the key with me when it comes to being raw.

But I have also enjoyed making some of the raw food recipes & proving to myself that I can...

AND A BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT

I will admit that I am far from perfect. This past year has been a learning experience of trial and error. I have also had quite a few slips & falls when it has come to...

During Christmas time-when they're available here-I'll buy some raw spanish peanuts and eat them.

But I've been told that peanuts are hard for the body to digest. Don't know if that's true or not...

I know some of you out there get frustrated & don't see the results as quickly as others or perhaps, you start eating certain foods & start bloating. But don't let any of that be a cause for giving...

Can anyone explain why?

The only combination I found that I liked and was able to tolerate was:

2 bananas
strawberries (around 5 extra large)
handful of spinach
purified water to taste
...

I always prefer my meals/desserts simple, and this is what dessert has been lately:

1 banana spread with 1 TBSP of raw, organic honey and sprinkled with a generous amount of organic cinnamon.

What has done wonders for me:

freshly sqeezed lemon juice in warm water 3x a day

flushes toxins, gets rid of cellulite, clears skin. In my case, it has.

Contrary to what people say - fat...
