Ummm, I did notice one thing in your food list...protein powder...many of them are not raw, most contain soya and some people are intolerant of soya. It causes puffiness, and water retention.

Go for fresh apple and prune juice:

Drink 2-3 cups of prune juice.
After ½ hour, drink one cup of apple juice
Then, 1-hour later drink another cup of apple juice.

This eliminates the fibre...

Dear Francesca,
I'll be your Raw Buddy if you want one, we can help each other :)

This is the second time I have tried to go Raw, and I was vegetarian before, so it is not always easy.

I also...

I like both styles. At the end of it, it is just a variant on RAW.

I try to keep most of the day simple, but have a bit of fun in the evening. Why? Because I used to love to cook, I adored...

Last year, I was doing ok two weeks into Raw, and then I let myself down and got back into standard Vegan eating and cooking.

The good news, I have not gained any weight since, and have dealt with...

Ladies, do any of you have a favourite recipe for surviving TOM cravings? Each month for three days, I become a sugar and carbohydrate fiend. Then I get the mother of all migraines for the next three...

Tali, I hope I get there soon! Yes, you hit it spot on, I haven't had handy nibbles, and I just don't eat fruit in the afternoon. Some nibbly things are a great idea. I think Alissa used fudge...

So far I use the recipe as it stands once, then start playing with it to suit my own tastes. Lots of substitutions though, as I don't have access to agave nectar, coconut oil etc.

I love my beans sliced really finely, and tossed in my apple and sesame sauce.

Apple and sesame sauce, 3 servings.
One apple, cored and peeled. Put into blender and add 1/2 teaspoon tahini (fresh...

This sounds silly, as I have only been RAW for a week so far, I did have a slip yesterday as my TOM craving kicked in. I ate a slice of toast :o and it was so revolting, it was like eating charcoal....

Morning everyone!
I've been absent due to lack of internet, our telephone line came down in the gale the other night.

Are you all Rawing along?

The last few days have been rough, I can not...

You can also get hormone related migraines at the TOM, as serotonin levels drop then. Many women suffer from this and often confuse it for a chocolate/carbohydrate reaction, which of course the body...

Dear Zuri,
It has been pointed out that one of my earlier statements, could be taken as inflammatory, not the way I meant it at all. I apologise for that, and have modified the line, so that it can...

Tali, Definitely a foot in mouth day! :( you are quite right I should have been more diplomatic...I just hate technobabble, but that is no excuse. I have been impolite, I think I'll go and apologise....

Whilst not addicted, I would like to kick the craving for wholemeal toast with Dundee marmalade, it is haunting me at the moment.

Sugar in all it's many forms, I found today that Alissa's pumpkin...

Welcome aboard flipinwild, Authenticme and KissyKate, post when you can, eat as near to 100% Raw as you can, and hey if you slip up, so what, just start again, we're here!

Tali, I agree those...

Dear Zuri,
My reply was not to shoot the mesenger, just to add scientific fact to some lala land statements (sorry to all inhabitants of lala land for this defamation!) and to help you out.
...

Well that article was certainly interesting, however with reference to that link.

I am a Medical Electronics Engineer by trade, I maintain and service all types of hospital equipment including...

Our local (60 miles away) supermarket has a veg/fruit problem too, just as you said, unripe or rotten.

It was one of the reasons I started growing my own. I now grow or crop wild about 65% of my...

May I suggest that you use the banana to search, or look in the RAW restaurants section.

However you could also try

Thank you rawcutter ! :D

Hi Courtney :D
My best friend Tania is a Russian, also from Siberia, small world! I don't think Alissa's book is available as an ebook. Why not email her to find out? Email her at ...

My favourites are mung bean, mustard and cress, and beet sprouts.

Rawcutter, do I have to use the flax seeds? I think they taste awful, I don't like psyllium husks either.

many thanks

Judy
