[QUOTE=kyrie]Hi,

Most people when reading Doug Graham' article will overdose on sweet fruit, and pay heavy consequences, physically and mentally.

A high glycemic diet is incredibly bad for you,...

It's been more expensive for me as well. I mostly eat spinach (from Costco), lots of avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions and garlic. I eat bananas and mangos and sometimes oranges when I feel...

How do you know if you are a slow or fast oxidizer?

I am interested in tofu because of its protein, but I keep hearing all this negative stuff about it, so I'm wary about buying it. However, I did see a recipe for making your own (raw) tofu- you...

sigtau- we can't PM each other but I did want to ask you a question. Could you email me at rawallison @ cox.net?

I've had hair loss since going raw and it's pretty obvious in my case that the problem is related to my change in diet. I lost a lot of weight quickly from going raw (25 lbs in January alone), and...

I definitely believe that we are all unique and have to do what works for our own mind/body/lifestyle. The more reading you do (and I'm a huge reader!) the more confused you can get with all the...

Hi, Lunar*Fey! I know what you mean about eating until you feel sick. Before raw, I used to have terrible cravings and would compulsively eat until getting sick. Personally, I believe that anything...

Thank you everyone for clarifying this for me!

Someone sent me an email which appears to offer a local Alissa Cohen course. I just want to make sure it's an Alissa Cohen class (authentic)!
The URL below is a clickable link- can you let me...

Hey- just this weekend on my blog Raw Odyssey I posted about my girlfriend who had gastric bypass surgery in 2004. Due to food addictions she started regaining some of her weight, and was feeling...

I sometimes wonder what would happen if I ate a full-on cooked meal, like spaghetti or an omelette. Maybe, like you, I would feel tired and sluggish. I love eating the way I do now; I eat very few...

Great question! I just noticed these past couple weeks that I can sleep between 5 and 6 hours and then get up, fully refreshed. I used to stay in bed as long as possible- sometimes until 11 or noon...

Thanks for the comment, rawmommie. I have been the recipient of some of those harsh-sounding replies and have cut down my questions quite a bit because of it. I don't think people are mean on...

Thank you for the responses. I hope my next experiment goes better!!

I tried sprouting wheatberries and they appear to have been bad- they had a nasty, cheesy smell. I want to try sprouting again but would first like to know what methods have worked for people on...

I have a raw food blog at www.rawodyssey.blogspot.com. You are welcome to use anything from there, or I can put something together for you. Raw has been great for me. I've lost 40 lbs since January...

Someone brought me a container of sprouted garbanzo beans. Does this mean I do not have to soak them or anything before trying to make raw hummus, or should I be soaking them in water? They don't...

I love dates! They are desert fruit and grow on palm trees (date palms). Some dates are allowed to dry on the tree in the desert but many are "cured" after they are picked. (I used to think dates...

Since starting raw, losing weight has been pretty simple and usually quite steady for me, thank goodness. I tend to stay away from sweets and snack foods that mimic SAD snacks because I don't want...

My girlfriend has always been an ice eater and says she was told it was a symptom of lupus. I'm not so sure about that myself. I know that she has been anemic before, and since having gastric bypass...

Wow- I don't have any strange symptoms at all since starting raw 7 weeks ago. In 7 weeks of being raw I only had a few hours of largely-unexplained queasiness, which might have been due to something...

That's so funny you call them cockroaches. Whenever I eat them (medjool) the seeds look like little cockroaches to me and I have to try really hard to ignore that!!! :p

Congratulations! My cravings went away almost immediately and I never crave cooked foods. I wish I had discovered this years ago, but they say things happen when you're ready for them, so I guess I...

Somone's post reminded me that I wanted to ask what these two terms actually mean, and how they correspond to health. If anyone can explain these in layman's terms, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!...
