I got mine used, so it didn't come with a wooden stick. What does it look like? Maybe I can rig one. Also, my lid is weird - it's really tall, with a hole at the top that doesn't have a cover. Is...

I am a green smoothie fiend, and finally got a Vitamix!!! I was so excited, but just tried to make a green smoothie and it wasn't mixing. Didn't crush the ice and only crushed the leaves after much...

Lately I've been experiencing super-fatigued leg muscles for no apparant reason. What do you think is going on? Is there any way I can get rid of them? I have a soccer game on Sunday!

Hello to a fellow Albuquerquean! I just moved here, and have had a hard time finding the best places for affordable produce. Which Asian market do you go to, and where is it...

What are some good sources of zinc? Also, are there any foods that can interfere with or inhibit its absorption?

Thanks for the encouragment. Mine has been falling out over the past 6 weeks or so, and also seems to be slowing somewhat. Glad to hear your hair is so much better!

I got really, really thin for about 5 months. Then I came up to (almost) normal weight within 3 or 4 weeks!

I just did a banana search on this and found lots of discussion. Lots of people said it's a detox symptom, which I'm inclined to think, too (or a product of my hormones rebalancing themselves . . ....

I've been raw for about 9 months, and I've noticed a greater-than-usual amount of hair coming out of my head over the past 2 months (I'm a female). What's going on?

I hear ya on feeling like you're always eating the same thing! My current favorite is tomato slices (1/4" thick) with bread crumbs (I dehydrate sprouted wheat and pulse it in my blender to a coarse...

Thank you so much to everyone on the boards. This is not the first time you've inspired and excited me in a time of vulnerability regarding Raw!

I think I was assuming that I had pretty much...

I'm beginning to think, more and more, that it's absorption, too. Seems like if my body needed more calories, it would ask for more food. Also, I know my absorption is getting better than it was,...

That's awesome info! Thank you so much. I'm excited about the Amazon stuff.

Keep the ideas comin' :)

I'm looking for the most inexpensive places to buy certain raw foods in bulk. What have you all found?

My best two finds are:
1. Mountainroseherbs.com for coconut oil - their prices and quality...

Do you think it's a matter of calories or of absorption?

Thanks so much, all of you.

Actually, I do want to gain some weight in the form of water/fat. I'm not so skinny so as to look emaciated, but I definitely want to look "softer" - not bony or...

What happened to her? And how is she doing now?

Hi, all :)

I have been all-raw for about 8 months. At the beginning of my raw journey, I ate only when I was hungry, but lost a ton of weight that I REALLY didn't want to lose. About three...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I had no idea the onion bread was so popular! I'll have to try some.

What things do people make with grains? I have a dehydrator, just so you know ;)

Thanks for all of your replies. I definitely agree that feeling "blah" is not worth the convenience of cooked food. I do really appreciate the balanced approach that you have, jujube, as I agree -...

I need some inspiration! I'm stuck in a food rut . . . I drink tons of smoothies and eat tons of fruit and salads, but I don't have many other meal ideas.

What are people's stand-by meals? The...

Hi, all :)

I have been 100% raw for about 8 months, and have experienced a level of health and vitality I didn't know was possible! However, the Raw lifestyle has been incredibly trying for me. ...

I had learned the same thing about HCl - that is was mainly only needed for protein digestion. That's why I haven't done it yet. Interesting that you had some similar reactions as I...

My weight wasn't even close to within medical norms. I'm still definitely below the "norms," but I don't look so incredibly thin . . .

I've gotten so many cold sores since starting raw! I rarely got them before raw. Why the sudden outbreaks? Everyone says that cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. So why are there more now...
