Why not blend up some strawberries, apple cider vinegar and pepper? Maybe you could add a tiny bit of oil..

Personally I just like to sprinkle lemon juice on my salads, if anything.

Ah, that's so funny.
I know, it's like no matter what you tell them they still go down the line... "So, no red meat? Then you eat chicken, right? Oh. So, no meat at all? What about fish?"
Seriously...

Hi Dora. =]
My hair loss slowed and stopped after a few months, so it's no longer an issue for me. I didn't do anything specific to cause that, I think it was just a part of my transition to raw...

...nobody?

I think it's often the labels that create disputes and alienate people. However, they do simplify things. If I don't feel like getting into a huge explanation about my lifestyle, I often just say I'm...

Has anyone tried taking niacin for the purpose of releasing toxins before? I've been hearing a lot about it lately and I'm pretty curious what the raw community has to say about it. :heart:

Your journey sounds beautiful.
I'm so happy for what you're doing, best of luck :heart:

Well, I'm just turning twenty. So I'll get back to you on this in a few decades. :P

Hydration is key, above all else.
I think it is a cleaning-out issue... is it possible you're (going to be) losing weight? Because a surprising amount of the time, fat gets.. well, excreted. So it...

Awesome! :dance:

I love the atmosphere at mine. I actually like spending time in there, whereas a run to walmart or something is stressful. I am sure it will be rewarding for you. <3

I agree, gradual changes are the best, and longest-lasting. ;)

Also, try to buy things in-season (this will get easier as we finally come out of winter), and find local farmers' markets and fruit...

I eat them, I loooove them.
But quite a few are addicting for me, so I have to really stop and think before I munch - or even before I buy them.

Awesome. =] Welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy your time raw - is it an experiment or a permanent switch?

I just made this chili last night, and it was SO AMAZING.

Based off of this recipe, and tailored to my personal tastes. =]

...

Then send it out my way? ;)

Lol. I have heard someone here (DebB?) say that you can freeze it no problem.

I've tried a couple, and the only bars that I love are the Raw Revolution bars (even though they are a little heavy sometimes). They list the exact raw percentage on the packaging of each bar, and it...

I don't care much for it, so I haven't tried these, but:

Kim Chi
Coleslaw
Cabbage Wraps
Nori Rolls
Thai Dishes

They make ice cream (and smoothies and frostings) a lot creamier. =]
Personally though I just eat the meat with another fruit or two chopped up, because I love it so much, and don't get it often....

Yep, I have definitely experienced this on a smaller scale.
My body needs food pretty often, but my taste buds want it more. ;) If I wait to be really hungry, and eat light water-dense things I am...

Better to go every other day than have to throw things out! I think I still have to go to the store every few days or so, but I prefer it that way, because then I can buy what my body craves as I...

Well, take fat-soluble vitamins as one example. If you get too many of those, they are stored in the liver, and can cause damage to it, break down red blood cells, create toxicity, etc.

I'm just...

Just enough to make it all blend. I suppose if I had a regular supply of coconut water I'd use that though. Mmmm.

Yep, I just make sure they are organic and munch away. :P

I don't even know if there ARE any raw raisins on the market. o.O

Sometimes you just have to ignore it. Eat what you need without the obsession getting in the way of enjoying your nutrients.
Easier said than done though, I have the caloric contents of most foods...

Today was my rest day, but lately I've picked up a new ab exercise and I LOVE it!

15 medicine ball pass
16 medicine ball toe touches
15 hip lifts
15 side bend crunches, each side
15 vertical...
