I started my raw journey with Alissa's book and DVD. I've been raw 20 months, so I'm still a newbie in my book...So...I'm reading and experimenting with what works for my body. I have a new body...

It's the first raw dessert I ever made :) I put mine in a pie crust plate for the first layer and then spread the topping leaving an edge like a cooked pie crust would :) It's not as dense and...

I don't do any dairy or any gluten...I'm 90-100 percent raw depending on the time of year :) I'm about 99 percent vegan. I do have organic eggs (only 2) in an omellette about every 4-5 months :) ...

What I eat depends on the seasons, my workout schedule, and what my own body tells me :)

Alissa, it was great to read your posts :)

Hugs to all,
Lisa

I don't want to pick on that sentence above, but for me, it takes so much of my vital life force energy to try to convince or "convert" people to healthy ways (I'm not even talking about our diet of...

Health issues, spirituality, as well as "vanity." I'm 19 months raw :)

Sorry you are going through this...I hope you feel better very soon!

Also, glad to hear you're going to a licensed health professional--right? :) Sometimes, lots of well-intentioned people will...

I have to do nuts and sweet fruit in moderation 'cause I can swing towards tiredness with too much of either. Greens are my favorite energizing food lately :)

I'll be 19 months raw...tomorrow :)

All I can say is that I've never done any fasting or cleansing, etc. in my entire life. Since being raw, my body has naturally detoxed...I've gone through...

I love green smoothies...I haven't drank one in public though...hee hee! Btw, I used to work for attorneys...hee hee! :)

I've had a swollen right lymph gland under my right earlobe for many years. I myself have a history of Epstein Barr virus and am prone to flare-ups, but not so much any more.

One of the best...

Carla,

Hee hee! I could live on mangoes, young coconuts, pineapple, etc., etc. Or, maybe up in an avocado tree :) Hee hee! :) *giggles*

Wendee,

Loved your post! :)

They have a lovely family :) I always send them love etherically when I make Storm's raw tabouli :)

I started my raw journey on December 1, 2005 here in the bitter cold Midwest. I figured if I could be raw when it's 1) cold...brr! 2) during holiday party season 3) a time for less produce...

Alissa sells a great brand :) She carries both raw cacao powder and the raw carob powder ;) I have to give her a plug...Her packages always come so quickly :)

Where is the retreat with David Wolfe in July? In Michigan??? Oh, that would be sooo cool!

It really is individual. Also, it depends on the workout. I make myself an energy drink that I concoct for during a workout. If I'm riding my bike for 3 hours LOL, water alone just doesn't cut it...

I'd experiment. As an athlete myself, that's the only way I know whether something works for me and when to do it. For me, I have to have light, low fat, high carbs before a workout. During, the...

I concur with the weight comments...I'm a size 2 or 4, but I weight 115-120 which for 5'2 is considered a medium frame, but my friends who wear the same size are about 90-100 pounds. Wild, huh? :)

I think I saw some Nutiva ones today on amazon.com :)

I don't eat very many. They are more like condiments for me...like 10 pinenuts on a salad or 5-10 almonds as a snack 2-3x per week. Maybe once every 2 months, I'll make a raw pie with nuts as a...

I don't personally like things that are overly sweet or overly fat :) So, that is why energy bars don't work very well for me--unless I make my own, that is :)

Yep, everyone IS different :) I am...

AWWwww...I love ferrets. I have 3 little boys in Ferret Heaven. Gosh, wish I was raw when they were sick/dying or maybe I could have helped them more :)

That is soooo precious :)

Naiad,

Yours sounds great too! I've been guided by my intuition to add a few greens, but not sure which ones would go with it. But, I absolutely love coconut stuff too, so maybe a piece of Young...
