Quite possible - yes. Make a list with two sides: What YOU think are the best foods.....and what YOU think are the worst foods. Make small goals to cut out the latter....while incorporating the...

You can try it both ways. If you don't have a problem combining - then I wouldn't worry about it. :)

Stay true to YOUR goals. If your goals REQUIRE healthy eating....you will be no more tempted to eat something else than you would be to trash your car or something. You need it.....so you maintain...

I've done that many times. It can be quite healthy.

A living diet is eating stuff that would potentially grow if you planted it. A raw diet might simply mean uncooked or unheated. The former you can be SURE is raw. The latter - not always. ;)

The same way I avoid using drugs - by being laser-clear on what my long-term goals are....and by always having healthier alternatives ready. And by being prepared to say no in a polite and humorous...

There are few leaves that will KILL you....but many or irritating or sickening or unpalatable. You could do a little research if you wish:

Right. They won't be poison.....but I cannot vouch for the bitterness and palatability! LOL.

Stay full, eat before you go out, and always bring a snack bag. Never show up someplace and feel compelled to eat crappy choices. Socially say: "I not hungry, but I'm here to spend time with YOU."...

If you integrate raw foods slowly....at a pace that's right for you.....then any detox will be mild. Don't make any changes in your life you aren't prepared to do forever.

I hear chewing parsley or mint is helpful. But keep in mind that garlic oils seep into every part of you. You can literally smell it coming off a person when its fresh (take my word for it. LOL).

I love it: "When are YOU going to stop?" Heh..heh.

-I got that a lot the first couple of months. But I handled it with humor and just shrugged. After a few months....they get just get tired of...

I hear you - and it can be creepy. But how is that different from any other day....and from anyone? EVERYONE is ALWAYS into other people's business. That's what people DO. They depersonalize and get...

If YOU question it, perhaps you shouldn't do it. If you do, make a conscious decision to do it - and accept full responsibility for any consequences....and you should be fine! Happy 21st!

I've been all-raw for about 8 years - mostly fruit the whole time. My blood test results have always shown adequate proteins/amino acids....and I have never had any symptoms of protein deficiency. I...

That has not been my experience. After 8 years or so of eating all raw, and the past few just eating fruit...my blood numbers are quite ok...as are my organ functions. My blood sugar actually reads...

Yes. Additional sunlight in eyes and on skin. Larger amounts of pure water. Avoiding chemicals and processed foods. Simpler eating with little or no combining. Try these simple things first, and...

Right! Pass it on!

A high BMI is NOT unusual these days! Ha! ha! (as is a high fat %). My advice / opinion is to keep your metabolism up by eating small meals quite often....perhaps 4-6 times per day. Get good exercise...

All you can do is what you can do. If you HAVE to eat, then at least eating the healthiest fruits and vegetables, low on the glycemic index, will maximize your chances for healing and blood sugar...

Right. 30 days may give you a taste of energy, but it might take longer to make ALL the changes to your lifestyle to fully feel healthy and energetic (depending on how long a person lead a poor...

I've been all raw for about 8 years....with no nuts for the past 2 or 3 (they were just upsetting my teeth & digestion). I have had no adverse reactions....and have had many improvements in health...

Must be very frustrating. All you CAN do is change your LIFESTYLE in some way to achieve a long-term solution. You can try simplifying your diet. You CAN fast or mono-eat for a period of time to see...

You could say you eat "unprocessed" foods. This pretty much leaves just fruits and vegetables! Ha! ha!
