These posts are very helpful. I like the thought that I am not self-sabotaging but am self-protecting. I think that it is so important to re-frame these ideas. I actually work for a chiropractor...

I've been thinking a lot about why some people find it easier to go raw then others. For some of us it is such a on again and off again battle and other people have great success from day 1. The...

Thanks, D'Vorah. That list will be very helpful. My hope is that I can identify then hopefully eliminate the extraneous reasons I eat and get to eating for fuel.

I know that this is a raw board and that most of the people who are already there already listen to their body's needs but I thought this might be helpful for some of us struggling on the journey.

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but one reason I self-sabotage is because when I reach a goal, I fear that I will find I was capable of doing it at any time. That means that years of not...

There are a lot of simple things that you can do with chia seeds. When they are mixed with water, they get gelatinous just like flax. I have a flax allergy so I substitute chia seeds in recipes. ...

I haven't been all raw in a long time and was really only all raw for about a month. Unlike most people, I didn't feel all that huge of a difference and felt that I should have had more success for...

I haven't posted in a while and am only doing raw sometimes but I work for an awesome lady who is a natural doctor and teaches raw food classes. She made some brownies the other day with hazelnuts. ...

I am afraid to give up my food addiction. The last time I went completely raw, it was scary. I don't think I am afraid to give up the cooked foods themselves, but the addiction to them. Addictions...

I am not seasoned by any means but I would like to caution you on your weight loss expectations. When I did my 30 day challenge, I really expected the weight to fly off and it didn't. I lost about...

I wanted to let everyone know that I found a flax alternative. I am allergic to flax. It has been so hard to want crackers, bread, and easy pizza crust but know that all the recipes include flax. ...

I would love to do this. I am coming from being a total meat and cheese eater with fast food binges. This has been a huge, inspiring, on going transtition for me. I feel that I would be great to...

I am so inspired by all of you who say that cooked food doesn't even appeal to you. I know that most of you who say that are 100% raw. I'd like to take a poll and see how long it took you to not...

Thanks everyone. I think that the big issue for me is that I really want to be 100% raw but my head keeps saying things like what about social events and well once in a while won't hurt? Also, the...

I posted this on my blog today after my bif McDonald's snafu yesterday. I am looking for a kind mix of opinions.

I've been thinking a lot today about what being raw means to me. There are many...

Okay, I realize that I am coming from a different place than a lot of you. There are quite a few of you that where vegan before raw. I was not only a SAD eater but had plenty of fast food binges. ...

Another idea for the crust, after you sprout the wheat berries, throw in the food processor and process like mad. Then add some water and olive oil if you have it. It should make a nice dough. ...

I've been raw for a month from a SAD diet. I still have my allergies. I agree that there are two different sets of allergies at work, food and pollen. My food allergies are a lot better but my...

Today marks my first 30 days raw. I have to say it is rather anti-climatic. I started this with the intent to try it for 30 days and make a decision about the future afterwards. About halfway...

I definitely know where you are coming from. One idea is to plan ahead for these cravings. I found it very helpful to always have corn chips and guacamole and raw pizza around. That way I feel...

I also wanted to thank you, RawTruth, for reminding us that we are doing a great job on the weight loss. It really does creep into the subconcious sometimes.

I started at about 248 and have lost the 10 pounds. I know that in Eastern medicine, being weight and allergies are linked. I've tried to do body fat tests before and the machine always says that I...

You can make some corn chips to have with guacamole and some raw pizza. Maybe if you make food like this, your mom will see it as "real" food.

Please don't tell me I will be the second!

I know this topic gets posted a lot but I think it is really helpful for some of us to remember that the weight doesn't automatically drop off of all of us. I am at four weeks of pretty much 100%...
