I didn't know you could MAKE coconut milk. I thought people just drank the middle of of young coconuts.

I'm interested if you can, because I don't have a place to buy young coconuts.

Christy,

It took about a little more than a month. I remember at about week three thinking . . . ah, ha! So this is NOT going to work.

It was completely gone before I went on my bender.

It...

I have enjoyed your posts so long now RawPriestess! You are always so encouraging!

Thank you.

That's all I need. Going to the food grinder now, boss! :p

Azianbee, here it is:

Szechwan Marinade (from Raw Foods for Busy People)

1/4 cup unrefined sesame oil (I used organic raw olive)
2-3 T rice wine (I don't know if that's really raw)
2-3 T Nama...

I bought mine at a health food store. It's called Synergy organic & raw. It's made with organic raw kombucha & fresh juices. I'm not an expert. I'm sure some other posters who are nutritionists could...

So meat sets you off? I'm not sure what is was for me yet. It could be the meat . . or the dairy . . . or the white flour . . .. or the .. . I cheated on all levels! (I'm very thorough!)

I'm with...

Thakns Boz,

My stats? I weighed 183.5 when I started raw. In the photo, I weighed between 165.5 and 167. In the after, I was back up to 172.

The nutritionist told me to juice kale and celery....

Larue,

You're absolutley right! I wasn't doing a before and after on purpose, it just happened . . . so it's not scientfic. I tend to avoid cameras. That's why I did my best to find two shots as...

Madmel,

did you put your daughter up on your avatar???? That is amazing!

I'd still be hungry too! I'm hungry if I don't get fats with my food. Like a small handful of nuts, avocado, oil in the marinade . . . maybe it's mental.

Oooooh, that's what people mean when they...

Hey Chamomile . . . Welcome & Congrats on the one year and 6 month milestone! And thanks for the encouragement and feedback.

I'm getting back on high raw after a week of cheating and paying for...

Hi Boz,

Is fifteen pounds in 60 days a lot and fast? I thought it was agonizingly slow! I can lose weight faster on a low carb diet, but my skin/face/energy/back doesn't heal with a low carb...

Okay everyone who is waffling about staying raw or who is wondering if it's worth it, or who is trying to decide, does it really make a difference, or maybe who is just wondering who would be stupid...

My daughter starts kindergarten in the fall, and in Pre-K I always struggled with finding the right tupperware, getting things to fit and (yikes!) ending up using way too many plastic bags (can...

I truly know very little about this, but our local raw guru lady put me on angstrom silver drops when I came down with a wicked throat infection with fever, aches, swollen glands which were sensitive...

My daugher is five. When she was three she had horrible eczema or psoriasis. Anyway, she was mostly nondairy just from my beliefs, so I called a guru demrmatologist: cream, ointments, change soaps,...

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we...

EeeeK! :eek: I hope the frozen water bottles aren't made from plastic. A chemical engineer from one of the big plastic companies has proven that when you freeze water in a plastic water bottle, it...

There is a bodybuilder who does speaking engagements et al and put out a book called Raw Power.

Thanks for the feedback. How hard are the bristles supposed to be. Does it hurt? Ouch. Or is it soft like a hair brush?

Sorry. I'm a newbie! :eek:

What kind of brush does one use to do this skin brushing? I can't afford colonics, nor are they in my area. And I can't afford going to the sauna, so sounds like I need to do skin brushing and the...

I loved this testamonial. You're right, we newbies thrive on this stuff. I'm about 2 weeks raw (from KFC binges to raw) and don't "know" a single raw person, so I sometimes doubt this will work...

The great thing about kids her age is their favorite foods are simple! My daughter is not 100% raw (I'm only two weeks raw) but I send her lunches to pre-K about 90% raw. This diet is so conducive to...

I felt great the first couple of days of going raw, but then the symptoms hit me hard on day . . . three or four, I think.

Maybe you'll be lucky! The toughest thing about it is, is . . . is this...
