Thus far today:
several ounces of maple-syrup sweetened limeade with cayenne pepper (does wonders for impending migraines)
5 dates
a few cashews
lunch was a salad made from: 1/4 zucchini, 1/4...

Still using my blender, but in it this morning I made a smoothie using 3 ripe apricots, a quarter of a very sweet pineapple, a little water and ice. It was Awesome!! Best yet, I didn't feel the...

Keep it simple. Absolutely.

I have a serious thing for chocolate, and experiment often with various raw recipes. The pic below I have dubbed "raw chocolate balls." The recipe, approximately is:

10-12 Medjool dates
pinch...

I'm all for fasting, not that it's something I've been successful with, but do think it can be a legitimate part of a healthy lifestyle.

My struggle has been that I want to hear from people who...

I have been lurking or otherwise reading these forums since 2006 or 2007. In that time I've seen a lot of people come and go, but there is a trend which bothers me so much I just have to say...

Not sure about the 80-10-10, don't remember Alissa mentioning it in her book. The thing is I really need to make more recipes. I can go for quite awhile on salads and smoothies, or the "breads" and...

In.

Do we need to post what we eat every day? From previous Challenges, it seems to vary widely. What's the preference??

As so many of us do, I have come and gone with raw for a long time; 5-6 years now at this point. Right now I am not raw. Eat a salad every day, but that's it in terms of raw. In terms of time for...

Hey all. I have avoided this thread for a looong time, but have a major event coming up next year that I'd like to look REALLY good for! :)) Have lost about 45 pounds, still have a good 20 or 30 to...

I've heard raw organic coconut oil can help with the scars. In general, greens with the amount of nutrition they contain, are probably the best thing to flood your body with - particularly through...

I had a cooked meal yesterday, and within 2 or 3 hours had a massive headache. Have noticed this reaction before. In general, the more I'm eating raw, the more I notice the effects of cooked food -...

Breakfast this morning was a fresh squeezed oj smoothie with frozen cranberries and a touch of honey, repeated at lunch with a very ripe banana. With the smoothie at breakfast I had a raw phudge...

This morning's smoothie was dates, water and cranberries. Cranberries were frozen, which was nice, but by the time I'd gotten half the smoothie down, date pieces had sunk to the bottom. Need to get...

What trips me up the fastest is the pressure of feeling like I have to be 100% all the time. The perfectionist in me (which doubtless contributed to my eating disorder) says it has to be all or...

Wow. I am just in tears. What a beautiful story. Sounds like there is a very special reason you are on this earth, and I am so happy for you and the joy you are finding.

Doing great, not sure what day I'm on, not really keeping track.

Thought I had posted this morning, but hit a button and it went away. No idea what happened.

Anyhoo, eating lots of...

Not sure am afraid of the cabbage taste, just never cooked with it much, now that I'm working towards 100% raw even less sure what to do with it! Great ideas, ladies, thank you!!!

Cranberry relish has got to be my fave thing about Thanksgiving. Here's my recipe, though for a large crowd you might want to double it.
1 bag cranberries (I freeze them first)
1 navel orange...

Okay, not to overpost, but. The shake this morning didn't hold me for very long, and I don't want to eat too much fat too early in the day. So I worked on my cranberry relish, think I have it just...

So here's the thing. I am not a big fan of cabbage. Yet somehow there is one - a big, light green cabbage - sitting in my fridge. It is waiting for me to do something with it. But what?

Even...

Yesterday was pretty good - mostly ate raw phudge (very high in fat due to nuts and coconut). Found bananas on sale, which i LOVE to put in my shakes! Starting the day off with an oj, 2 banana...

Greetings! So I'm joining halfway through the month! Already feeling challenged by thinking about the upcoming holidays. How do you deal with family???? Add to this am meeting the soon-to-be...

Who-hoo! As I just noted in my blog, have put my bathroom scale, oh ye instrument of torture and unfair judgment, away.

Anyone else have the difficulty with nonstop weighing - or using it to...

Revell,

I didn't know about the weight gain, though I have read the list of FDA side effects. Scary. I know raw will take away the cravings at some point, I just have to do it. Despite all the...
