Would you be brave enough to do a day of fasting (water and lemon juice) to give your body a break? This works for me every time when I don't feel well with what I'm eating. Then, since you said you...

If low fat was fine, how about trying to eat low fat raw vegan? Is that the way you ate or was is just low fat?

Can you give us an example of how you ate - your meals in say, a day or two (a week...

I have a green smoothie with stinging nettles about 5 times a week and it's delicious.

When I started I ate them fresh (in smoothies) but then I found the smell too foul and I decided to...

It's difficult to say as you don't give any specifics as to how/what you eat (or rather ate).

From people I know who eat or have tried raw food and myself I can give you some ideas. Maybe if you...

I'm just sprouting mine. You know you got the right kind because they're actually sprouting. If they were a darker colour, they wouldn't sprout as those are actually toasted.

Thank you, Mary Kay :)

Hi Green_Woman,

I can tell you what my experience with feeding raw vegan to a dog is and I hope this will help you decide what you wish to do.

Before I got my dog I already decided that she was...

I think we like to forget that eating too much of anything will make us gain weight. I can't be sure but it sounds to me like you're eating too many nuts. Nuts are very rich in fat and althought raw...

Sorry for the late response Ginger. I've been swamped with work.

Here's what cured my appetite for meat and sugar:

Meat

- I noticed I was getting very tired and a bit depressed and that...

I like things simple (or lazy:) ).

Take the nuts, if you don't have vitamix, you surely must have a coffee grinder, (This will do a much better job than the food processor but not as good as...

What are you craving most? Maybe we could help you with some raw alternatives to that. But in general I find that listening to your body is a very good thing. If you're craving heavy foods, eat...

I, on the other hand, am very organised with my free time. I spent most of it resting :D.

All the best,
Lia

Raw peanuts don't taste anything like the ones in peanut butter. To get those kind, you would have to roast the nuts and then grind them. :(

If anyone knows a recipe that would be close to peanut...

Did you dehydrate whole bananas? Because I got mine crunchy but I cut them in slices (circles) just like the ones in the stores. I think they dried up in about 5 hours.

I do all the 'dehydrated' recipes that take a long time over night and don't bother flipping them over. They dry out anyway - it just may take a little longer.

Make a mixed salad: some tomatoes, cucumber, red onion (sweeter than others), red bell pepper, some salt, juice of a lemon (or apple cider vinegar), olive, oil and some fresh basil.

My own banana milkshake:

2-3 ripe bananas (more if you like your shakes sweeter)
1 teaspoon of almond butter
2 small celery stalks
1,5 pint of water

Mix for 45 sec. Enjoy!

Buying lots of nuts can really be expensive. Try using seeds as well and they are much cheaper. The cheapest you can get are the sunflower seeds, then sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, followed by walnuts...

I agree with Rawkinlocs. The food that I threw away when trying new recipes - dehydrated or not! It breaks my heart. And to this day (I've been doing this (on and of - now ON :) ) for 10 years now) I...

I try to never buy unripe avocados. They (many, many times) go rotten and I really hate when this happens! But sometimes, I can't resist buying more than I need and then some are not ripe. I found...

It really isn't necessary to own a dehydrator (Samariah asked the same question). You can use the oven at low temperatures to dry up your food. You can put the food in the oven in the evening and let...

You're so welcome :) I'm anti-oven as well, but only when it comes to baking ;)

I use my owen all the time and it works fine. Just leave the door slightly open (stick a folded piece of paper in between to allow the heat and steam to escape). I find, at the time being, that I...
