I would do it - you have to get the single girl's perspective on this - I could take the camera out on dates and get a "reaction shot" when I tell my date I am raw..... ;)

That "rawspiration" was great. Thank you. I think part of this (and sorry men if you get squeamish) is that for some reason I have been feeling like I am going to have my period for about a week and...

fell of the wagon this past weekend for 3 days straight :mad: - it all started when I went out to lunch and had cooked chicken in my salad. Then I went to the Harpoonfest in Boston and had 4 beers...

It is officially Day 63 and I had to share all of the changes I am going through as a result of being raw. Like Alissa said in her book, it's important to reflect on those things and not forget where...

See? I knew I had come to the right place to ask this question :) Thank you everyone for your heartfelt and practical advice and thank you for reminding me that I should feel happy I want to do...

I am 32 and I feel that I am not connected with myself at all. I go through the motions of the day but have to be busy. If I end up home alone I go crazy and ultimately feel really depressed. I am...

I'm with you!! That has been the most popular question since I started this and usually if I'm in a good mood I'll say, "Well, it's a myth that we need as much protein as the industry says that we...

You guys are AWESOME - thank you so much for all of your kind words :) Looking forward to chatting with everyone more as I begin my next 30 days. Thanks to everyone for being so inspiring.

My actual day 30 was yesterday but wanted to put my entry in from yesterday because I am proud of myself:

Weight-187.5 - loss:14 lbs
Thigh-25 inches - loss:2 inches
Calf - 16 inches - loss:...

Hi there,
The time is wrong when I post my journal entries. I thought I put in the right time zone and everything when I signed up. How do I go in and change that?

Thanks much!

Thank you to everyone for your inspiration and kind words. It's the best thing in life to feel like you're not alone. I am feeling little better but yeah, I think right now while I'm learning to...

Think only what you choose to experience, say only what you choose to make real, do only what you choose to demonstrate as your highest reality. We are the creators of our own experience of life....

Okay, I don't know if it's just me, but lately I have been feeling kind of depressed. I am not really having that hard of a time staying on raw foods (day 21) but I think perhaps without a food...

Hi,
I just wanted to thank you for sharing. I am very similar to you in terms of compulsive overeating and feeling depressed about it. I did not become bulimic but have thought about it many times....

I have found so far - (and I am only 9 days raw here) that my craving to drink wine has lowered. I'll pour myself a glass, have a couple of sips and I'm done. I used to drink 2-3 glasses 5 days out...

What about raisins? Do you soak raisins? I love alissa's date nut torte - the base of it has a combination of walnuts and raisins so I'm wondering If I'm supposed to soak either of those items before...

What exactly are sulfites? Even if they are not good for you, is wine still raw if it contains sulfites? Thanks!

That is a good one! I wish I had thought of that before telling that one friend I mentioned:) Thanks for the support!

Thank you everyone. It can be tough, and it's nice to know we all can relate to this issue. I guess I have a hard time understanding it because I don't think if the situation were reversed I would...

I have a friend who is acting very concerned about me being raw. She has asked the typical questions and then said that as soon as the 30 days are over she is going to take me out for some real food....

Are you supposed to soak everything, every kind of nut (including pine nuts), and raisins? Some recipes specify "soaked" and others don't - should I just assume that everything should be soaked?...

Monkey Boy,
I am so sorry about your cavities. Last year I went to the dentist, this is when I was eating cooked/processed and I had 2 new cavities and I was devastated. Did you have any dental...

Hi all,
I have been doing some more research on this and found a lot of sites saying that in order to have healthy teeth you must eat a lot of greens and raw foods. I also have been reading up on...

Thanks everyone - I feel a little better. I think it's just common sense as with a cooked diet - floss and brush. Sedona Sun, that is exactly what I was thinking when I read that - "Let me get this...

A couple of things I have read have concerned me:

I read a study done comparing a group of raw fooder vs. a group who eat cooked foods. The study said that the raw fooders had more evidence of...
