Oh I agree Aleesha, life has taken me through all sorts of twists and turns. I was writing my person statement for art school yesterday and when I saw it written down I was so surprised. I'm so much...

I hate how my family treat my diet, they're not as bad when I stick to it but they make fun of me completely if I struggle and have a day where I end up eating cooked food.

They say I'm...

I had big laps in healthy food over the weekend. I suspected I would as my boyfriend was round which often equals epic fattening junk food time.

My highlight of today was a smoothy: cranberries,...

^ Thank you. :)

Felt a wee bit better in the evening. Went to the health suit at the gym for a sauna/steam room. That's supposed to boost your immune system. After I felt really sick but it wore...

I sort of meant the how rather than the why.

Like where would you like to be in a few years. How do you want to be living, what are your goals?

Not your motivation, though it's nice to hear....

I'm unwell. I doubt it's detox yet.

I had a very small bowl of mostly raw and completely gluten free cereal when I got up, seem to have developed a UTI but now I'm feeling sick and I'm feverish...

^ I'm still at the very beginning so I have a lot to learn from, many ways to grow and still have much of the health and amazing benefits to come.

Another thing I'd like to be part of my "journey"...

Some people are new to raw, others are working up to it. Where do you want your raw food journey to take you? What are your ultimate goals if it were possible to eat the way you like, how would you...

I agree, which is why I still try and do as much as I can on a very low budget with very limited time.

Eating raw in London next week will be very challenging. I'm going to be down for the...

Today I've had:

Gluten free natural cereal (not 100% raw but is mostly nuts, dried fruit and seeds)
Avocado and orange salad with a very small side of (non raw) lentil soup.

I don't know what...

Rob, I think I'm similar with high water foods. I think it's because it has more of a detoxing effect to be getting so much fluid intake, it flushes things out your system? Maybe it's just a hydrated...

^ Sounds great! Welcome to the forum!! :dance:

I didn't have much of a start yesterday except that I had salad with everything I ate.

I'm a firm believer in not wasting food, it makes me...

I already follow the site but hadn't "liked" it on facebook yet, didn't realise there was a facebook page.

I love the site, it's funny and not all raw food crazy like some sites. It's realistic...

Hi folks. I kinda fell under the radar for a while and so did my diet BIG TIME.

This is the worst I've been eating in about 8 years. I keep talking to people about "that time i ate raw" and...

I think everyone has given good food advice. :) A detox fast would be good for healing your body and will probably lose you some pounds!
If you're doing a juice fast you'll probably want an electric...

Numbers do seem to dwindle out towards the end of the month.

I'm not doing the challenge but I like popping in and reading how everyone's doing anyway.

I'm doing rubbish! My mum keeps buying my...

I'll be trying that with the flax seeds. I'm not having luck sprouting them but after looking into it see why. Some of them started to sprout but they don't seem to be getting anywhere. I need to be...

^ Ohhhh yum!!!

Glad to say that while I'm still only vegan and gluten free I'm eating mostly raw food. I've also got my appetite back.

So far today:

Breakfast: fruit salad and a naked raw...

^ I love alfalfa so that's a start.

I've had adzuki bean sprouts, they're one I can only handle in salads disguised with dressing and all the flavoursome trimmings. The black eyed peas were even...

Ooooh.

LOTS of counter space! You need it for you blenders, juicers, dehydrators and all that jazz.
No cooking equipment.
A massive fridge (thankfully already have one).
Various shelves in...

^ That's lousy!

I'm glad to say I fought it off before it really kicked in and my headache did totally disappear after a salad and some frozen banana!! :)

I'll definitely be following this...

^ My god that looks incredible! Thanks for sharing I am going to be on that as soon as I have money!

Looking forward to getting a manual juicer, I think that's what I'm lacking to make efficiently...

Ah thanks Mr Raw.

So really it's not worth persevering with as I couldn't even really eat like rice and it's not all that nutritious?

What are the most nutritious sprouts? When I get money I'll...

The only meds I'm on were prescribed by my psychiatrist, who I actually really liked.

He knew I didn't want to go on anything, but he was right that I needed to take them. At least on them I can...

Glad to say I finished the salad later and it was still yummy.

I have a new favourite, naked bars. They're nuts and dried fruit blended and cold pressed with no added sugar or syrups. They're...
