Where do you live, Ariella? Are you looking for someone local?

It's unlikely to be horrific. There ya go! ;)

Seriously, for most people detox isn't some horrible, unending illness that keeps you bedridden for months. If that happens, something is probably...

Pick up some ovulation tests for a few bucks and find out if you're still ovulating. Some raw women do cease menstruation and continue ovulating, but from what I've observed, that usually occurs...

What do you do in terms of exercise? If you don't already, start resistance training/weight lifting. Chances are, you've been shedding fat as well as muscle, which will make you look scrawny even if...

I'm willing to bet you're not eating enough. That would explain the low energy, occasional lightheadedness, and interrupted sleep. When you wake up in the middle of the night, are you hungry at all?...

Along with what FreedomSeeker listed, I would include:

-young coconut, Thai coconut (versus old/mature)
-green smoothie
-cacao
-dulse
-weird/exotic foods most people aren't familiar with, like...

Can you post what you've typically been eating in a day?

Raw or not, if you consistently eat a lot of carbohydrates with a lot of fat, your insulin sensitivity decreases -- and glucose stays in...

How often are you eating garlic, onions, durian, or strong spices?

I find these trigger BO for me without fail. When I avoid them, there is virtually no odor. I'm sure everyone's body responds...

There was a frequent poster here by the name of RawTruth who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year. She had surgery for it, but last I heard she was going to go the natural route and avoid...

Oops, I should've ready CrazyDelicious's reply before I posted. :o

I used to eat tons of these -- they're good! Age-wise, they're harvested later than young coconuts but earlier than mature coconuts, so they're in an intermediate stage where their meat hasn't fully...

There's a grain of truth in the idea that a very low fat diet would cause wrinkling -- IF it was deficient in essential fatty acids and high in refined sugar (which promotes rapid aging). That's a...

I'm heading to Thailand in April/May -- hopefully in time to catch durian season. ;)



Rawcstacy, you're so lucky. :) What part of Thailand are you in?

What you're doing should be fine. It'd be more of a problem if you were eating huge amounts of the same type of green day in and day out (eg, nothing but kale).

I don't think they'd be any harder on the teeth than whole fruit and greens. If you make them with lemons or citrus fruit then you may want to take extra care and rinse your mouth out with water...

Sounds like you hit the end of the "Raw Honeymoon." This is incredibly common -- I went through the same thing after my first year raw, at which point some of the amazing changes I saw in the...

Cucumbers do digest pretty quickly (except for the skin) and they're actually in the same botanical family as melons. But their food combining rules are different because cucumbers are very low in...

I get extremely nauseous with 'real' teas (black, white, green) -- especially if I drink them on an empty stomach. Herbal teas (which aren't made from the actual tea leaf) never give me that problem,...

What is your goal/desired outcome with the green smoothie fast? It sounds like that may not be what your body wants right now -- and really, the only difference between green-smoothie greens and...

Iodine will help you a lot, and you can get that abundantly from seaweeds (dulse, kelp, etc.). Black walnuts are also pretty high in iodine.

Limit goitrogenic foods (which interfere with thyroid...

I got scary-skinny when I first went raw. I was eating a lot of food, but it wasn't enough -- there was a period where I was scarfing down 3000+ calories a day and not gaining weight (and I'm only...

I would contact the company that makes the shoes and find out where they source their materials from. Who knows; the manufacturer may use wool from a small family farm or someplace where the sheep...

Sounds like she needs to go back to nutrition school. ;) *All* unrefined plant food has protein--some more than others. I compiled a list of the protein content of various raw foods (as a percentage...

I respect Brian Clement, but I can't imagine where he pulled that number from. I don't buy it. Maybe there are one or two very fragile nutrients that could be significantly destroyed by blending, but...

I've had phases where I've craved them like mad. Your body probably needs something in them right now -- they're pretty high in quite a few minerals and are also the only raw vegan food with vitamin...
