Ewww!

But I'm glad the almonds sprouted. I've had some do that, too. They're still alive, the hearty little things!

These are very good. I got the recipe from the Idiots Guide to Eating Raw, which is a useful book (I recommend it).

1 cup almonds
1 cup macadamia nuts
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin...

Happy birthday, Lodestar!

And many happy returns!

I started putting spirulina and maca in my morning smoothie and I definitely thought I could feel a difference in my energy level.

Everyone's body is different.

Welcome! I love your name, Kimbalaya! This transition does take time at first as you learn how to make things that you like to eat, but I think it will be well worth it. You'll have more energy and...

Those are beautiful, Rawknitster! You are a gourmet raw food genius!

I am definitely going to try making those, but mine won't look nearly as good as yours!

I read that a healthy young female who has been raw for a fairly substantial time (I don't know how long) will not bleed during her period but have a clear flow, not very much.

Maybe that's it.

I like to put frozen bananas through the champion juicer (with the blank plate). You can then alternate other frozen fruit to get different flavors, like strawberry or blueberry.

I also made a...

I have never warmed to eating raw spinach, but as spinach chips, I am enjoying them.

Good idea to try the spring mix. Let me know how it goes!

Virgo, with Taurus rising, and moon in Gemini. :D

Wow, juicing the foam! I must try that!

Hi Carol and welcome. I think you will be amazed and delighted by the health benefits of going raw. Alissa's book is the most practical guide around.

Good luck!

Nuts. I tried to resize the photo to make it smaller but some how I posted twice...

Yes, they are crunchy even when covered in oil.

Try spinach chips, too. Same process. They are delicious!

Some juices freeze really well, like orange juice and pineapple juice.

Carrot juice isn't quite the same after freezing.

When working, I like to make juice at night, freeze it, and then take it...

Welcome. I think you should read some of the before and after posts to get an idea of what to expect.

Personally, I'd get bored with nothing but GS and I'd quit pretty soon. You need to get...

I started by trying recipes, sometimes two new ones a day. I'd make small portions. Some of them really repulsed me!

But now my taste buds are beginning to change, and I'm going back to those...

Oh this sounds fabulous! I am going to make hummus this week! Thanks, Dakinimind.

I have found that going raw is the only thing that seems to let me lose weight. My thyroid is not working, but one of my goals is to eat 100% raw for so long that it starts working again. I believe...

Health reasons and fitness.

After menopause I could not lose any weight. I started having all sorts of health issues, including arthritis. I saw myself getting faded and gray and old before my...

I think it's a habit and it's the taste--it does taste good. We become slaves of our taste buds.

As a child I had to be forced to eat meat, but by my teens it had become a habit--that's what you...

I think 30 days sets up a habit of eating that you can follow. It breaks the addiction in that sense. But for some of us, even one bit of cooked food after the 30 days are over and we go back into...

I made the Russell James bread and didn't like it, but I might try it again and leave out the Herbs de Provence. Lavender tasting bread isn't my thing.
