I am lucky. I have a WF just .25 miles from my house...yes, walking distance! And another great health food store .5 miles away.

I shop at the independent health food store first and then pick...

I just have to say that's very cool....a raw food stonemason!

I'm curious...what is your daily diet to keep up your energy levels?

It depends on a lot of things....like how much you weigh, how much you want to lose, what is your activity level, etc.

It also depends on what you define as "eating whatever you want". I can...

It's a great idea, but she charges $27/month for the program. Yikes!

You can enter recipes and create shopping lists for FREE at food.com. Food.com also gives the nutritional breakdown for each...

There is a really good raw foods recipe book called "Raw Food Made Easy For 1 or 2 People" by Jennifer Cornbleet. Great for beginners -- you don't need a dehydrator or expensive blender for the...

Wow, so much has changed in TO since I lived there 20 years ago. It doesn't surprise me that Guelph would have a raw restaurant, given the presence of the university.

Sadly, we're behind the...

Macadamia nuts are a good substitute.

Harmful? Not sure what you mean. I've made kale chips in both the oven and dehydrator. The dehydrator chips are much better (the chips from the oven seem to get too dried out and fragile).

Why are you drinking so much water? Have you talked to your cardiologist about this? They can tell you all about the dangerous cases of hyponatremia they see. Your electrolytes could get really...

I know people who have run road races in them and swear by them (including a friend who ran a half marathon). Some trail runners use them, but many have abandoned them after a few runs (especially...

It's great you caught the problem before you had a heart attack. And to go through all of this at such a young age!

I dodged a bullet as well six years ago when I had open heart surgery for a...

Love it. Thank you!

You are correct, the ratio is what matters. My total cholesterol has actually been too low -- which means I'm not generating enough HDL (the good stuff). But my LDL is low as well.

Total...

Brilliantly put. The more "exclusive" raw sounds to the average person, the less likely they will be to give it a try. We need to make it more accessible to the masses.

I, too, am in this for...

Okay, I went for it. I got a good price on a refurbed 5200 with the 64-oz container from Vitamix.com (better deal than what's available on Ebay, all things considered) and I got the 48 oz container...

That is a great price for that unit. The webpage also has a good video showing how the sprializer works. (And if you look to the right on that page, it shows the same unit -- different branding --...

Also, the prices are in pounds and include VAT so, yes, it looks like it's a UK vendor.

I hope to purchase a VM 5200 soon and was wondering whether to get the 48 oz or the 64 oz container? I'll be prepping food for just two people. Many times I cut recipes in half because they are...

Hello, Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hello. I started eating 90% raw about two weeks ago. I've always liked lots of raw food, so it hasn't been difficult for me to make the...
