Hi all,

I'm doing a modified green smoothie fast right now. Just loving these boards. I have a quick question: How much weight have y'all lost so far and what day are you on? Just curious.

And...

Hi all,

Just wondering if you have any thoughts on getting your tubes tied? I am seriously considering it so I can go off depo. I don't want any children.

Thanks,

If you are a binger or overeater, I would suggest you use this healthy way of eating to motivate you to dealing with your food issues with a therapist or by reading books, etc. There is a lot of...

I have discovered IE (intuitive eating) which is helping me overcome emotional eating (that and lots of prayer) and lose/ maintain my weight while raw even after extreme low-cal dieting for the past...

Thanks guys... One last question though... If I leave damp seeds on my kitchen counter in this weather, even with the a/c on, they start smelling sour/ moldy. Should I sprout them in the fridge??

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Just went to the health food store and bought:

quinoa
sesame seeds
sunflower seeds (hulled)
pepitas

Actually, they're really good! Very lightly crunchy. I soaked them AND skinned them and the bitterness is gone.

Like anything, if you overdo it, its probably not healthy, but I like them...

Have added some tree leaves to my green smoothies lately. No bad effects from those that I've tried. Any thoughts out there???

No bad effects yet (I'm shelling and soaking them myself) -- any thoughts??

Don't eat for a while. Or juice fast. That will speed healing, too. And maybe that's what your body is asking for.

There are some good books out there on the importance of healthy fats. Certain nutrients are only fat-soluble. Doug Graham is a very controversial raw foodist. Do what your body says to do.

potassium?

I don't think you should love a bad person just because they're family. And I agree with the ideas that you've presented, Revell - - I just don't think they apply in this case. Family members and...

My heart went out to you too reading this because I recently went home for a visit and everything!! went wrong. And then I came home to my husband and he did not sympathize with me at all. I don't...

I tried this yesterday in a green smoothie. Added more bulk and tiny chewable pieces in the GS. Is this unhealthy? Anyone know anything about molds, toxins, etc. in these?

Finally got my blender and GS's are my new favorite thing. But I drink a lot of them and they really, really bloat me. I know the answer is to just drink less... but could it also just be something...

I have a cheap blender too, but I love it! Everything is somewhat foamy, but I found that not adding ice actually makes it less foamy. I just refrigerate or stir in some ice cubes afterwards to...

mmm, that actually looks really good. Maybe I'll just eat it alone too.

Unsprouted, is it easily digested by the body?

Been trying to look this up but unable... Seems lentils and quinoa bulk up the most of all sprouts, and are cheapest to buy... or are there others?

What is the best way to prepare quinoa? All I...

And is Bob's red mill quinoa raw and sproutable?

Thanks! :)

Oh, and what do yo use unshprouted and sprouted quinoa for?

You know, that's what made me wonder. The weather isn't exactly COOL in CA, and I was thinking, if they put them in greenhouses....

Ah, I see. So I can still make iced cream before I get my vitamix? Awesome!

Thank you!!! Gotta love being a newbie!

For anyone who doesn't, it's awesome. Cheap products in bulk. Lots of options.

Really? Do you know why that is?

My main concern is enzyme inhibitors -- are they in the skin??
