Good for you and welcome. I'm new as well and have eaten SAD lately at Church picnic, and wedding reception where there was not much else to eat, and I was too lazy to bring something raw.

I think...

Sometimes we just get things like this from tension, extra work for the muscles that we don't notice we're doing, etc. IMHO we can't track every little ache and pain to what we eat. Our bodies react...

I have read that these numbers are quite arbitrary. Who's to say what's high anyway. Besides many many studies have shown that high numbers are NOT a predictor of heart attack, or heart disease....

I like that attitude, Seductive Arts.

For heaven sake! eating raw foods, and eating healthy in general are positive things, but to make a fetish out of it and say you'd never eat anything unless...

Maybe we should try hot chocolate (using raw of course) or carob? I wonder if it would mix with water and not get slimy?

I may try this tomorrow. I guess having hot drinks is ok? I think I'll go...

Are you a young person still living at home? That can make a difference. I know as a parent I would have been very concerned about my child's health, even when they were in their late teens and early...

I struggle with coffee too as I sometimes have a headachy feeling in the morning and this does help. But this has become MUCH better since I've been raw, which is I guess about a month now. Had a...

I get sick of olive oil and vinegar so sometimes I change to this:

tahini thinned out with a little coconut milk (you could use water but the nut milk keeps it rich) and lemon - salt, pepper,...

all the above notes on what to eat are great. However, your stress level will go way down if you think about this the night before! Have you thought about creating a 'launch pad'?

This is a...

They are REAL! I actually saw advertisements in a "health food" magazine today for instant smoothies in a bag - why get out that old blender when you can add water to our toxic mix?

YUCK! I like...

I'v started using Greens+ in my smoothies to make sure I get all the vitamins and minerals I need but I see it has licorice in it. Does anyone know whether licorice every day is a bad idea?

I...

What I have noticed is that I no longer have low blood sugar fears. I never would eat sweet veggies or fruit. And i ate almost all meat/fat. I did feel great eating that way but I always craved fresh...

yes, I certainly must agree - up your fats!! The fact that your periods have stopped means your body is not functioning without some healthy fat. As well, maybe stay away from fruit for a few weeks...

Hi Sport. While I agree that the SAD diet is fat heavy, surely there's a difference in the quality, and kind, of fat consumed on SAD? Even if one only ate fat meat/fish one would be healthy (read...

why are so many of us here afraid of good fats? Fat is healthy for cell growth and maintenance, fat is satisfying, fat aids the skin, in short: fat is good. Since it occurs naturally in so many...

I do not have diabetes but have suffered with hypoglycemia for years. As a matter of fact I have not eaten fruit for years because of the fear of low sugar crash - and have eaten a very low carb,...

Why throw the water away? Can't we water plants with it? Or are the tannins good for nothing?

Coconut oil is saturated but it is very very very good for us. I'm no expert but I use it every day. You can feel sick on it but that's because you've eaten too much too soon. It needs to be...

Hi Kilico, and welcome. I've very new as well and learning every day. My DS is off to Sydney in a few weeks (from Canada) to work for a year. I know he's going to love it!

I hope lots of people...

Hi there RSC. I'm new as well, and from the Niagara Region in Ontario so upstate NY is not far. Glad you found this site too, I'm finding it a gold mine of very helpful material. Do you have...

Right! and remind yourself of all the wonderful food you CAN eat! When i think of how I always avoided fruit, and many veggies trying to do "low-carb" but now I'm FREE to eat veggies which I love,...

Celery? Really? I would have thought it would make things worse! Is this for real? I don't want to eat it and suffer!!!

Not that I don't believe you JulianRaw, but can you tell me a bit more about...

Hi there, I'm very new but want to welcome you back. I ate raw for about 6 days and really felt great, then went back to all meat - struggling with knowing just what I want to do. Maybe it just takes...

I'm a newbie - waiting patiently for my books to come...Alissa's and two others, so I need to ask this question here.

I have been suffering from terrible gas (sorry!!) and feeling very...

I've only been eating mostly raw for a few weeks but I think this is going to be good for me...so I'd like to join the 30-Day challenge beginning July 1.
