I think we've all been there! It takes a lot longer for your mind to catch on with raw than it does for your body. You'll still get those cravings, but they do shrink over time--the longer you stay...

Ditto on the juice, especially green juices (sometimes fruit juice gives you a sugar crash). Also, doing enemas is not widely socially accepted, but can really help speed you through your detox.

I bought Alissa's raw oats, but I really didn't like the taste, and they didn't agree with my tum. I used to love oatmeal, particularly in cookies, but now it just seems like glue to me.

In the beginning of my raw journey, I continued to drink wine, but over time I realized that it was almost impossible for me to have even just one glass of wine without wanting some kind of cooked...

I'm just about to eat tacos and summer corn salad from Rawvolution. My reward for finishing a 92 day juice feast was ordering The Box from Rawvolution. Everyone should splurge on it at least once;...

One of my favorites is dandelion greens. My body just wants to dance when I have a dandelion smoothie! But you'll want to add more fruit because there is a strong flavor. Kale is really good too,...

If you search on here for traveling while raw, you'll find a lot of great resources. I know there are a couple of raw flight attendants, so they have some great tips for what to eat/bring while...

Sounds like you're in Austin--me too! Costco is a good way to go, and if you spend the time to keep an eye on those grocery store ads and specials, you can usually find good deals on produce. Stock...

I fill my Vita Mix about 60-70% full with greens, and then add a ton of juicy, sweet fruits and sometimes fresh fruit juice. But it took me a while to build up to that amount of greens. Start out...

I'll check there, thanks!!

Where do you find nutritional yeast? I've looked for it, but can't figure out where it might be.

I second the raw glow thing. I've lost almost 70 pounds over the last year, and yes, people comment on it a lot. But in terms of strangers, I noticed people treating me differently before I started...

I'm still breaking my MC fast, so I started the day with fresh oj. I have lots more of that for later, and then some of my beloved veggie juice (carrot, cucumber, celery, spinach, parsley). I'm...

Lucy, I love it! Yes, I'm a green smoothie fiend. I eat/slurp about 40-64 ounces a day. I still get cravings though, so they're not a cure all for me. Plus, I was really asking about how to deal...

Ah Day Three, woohoo!

Today I am breaking the fast from my Master Cleanse, so I started the day with some of the lemonade, then had a bunch of grapefruit juice, and then a bunch of orange juice. ...

Just wanted to update--I've gone 14 days on the MC using agave (or raw honey when I ran out of agave for a couple of days). It's worked really well, and it tastes worlds better than the maple syrup....

Hi Everyone!

Today is my final day of the MC (I've gone 14 days). It has been awesome. As far as detox, I've been crankier than usual, my tongue went crazy white for the first 11-12 days, my...

Hey Everybody!

Today is my last day of a fourteen day Master Cleanse. I kind of feel like I want to keep going, but I'm heading out of town on Friday, and I need to ease back into solid food by...

Rawsinger, big hugs! I'm like you, I had to go all or nothing. And you know what? I did slip into cooked food about every 4 weeks or so in the beginning. But you learn a lot even from those...

I guess I'll just take it one day at a time and keep thinking about all the great effects raw has had on my life. And I'll start looking for some new favorite raw foods that I can get really excited...

I only liked veggies if they were cooked and smothered with butter and/or cheese, which is how my mom made them (gotta love those Southern cooks!). The onyl fruits I remember eating were the...

I'm in! I disappeared from the May challenge and am coming to the end of a two week Master Cleanse, but I'm in for June. Here's to farmer's markets, fresh summer produce, and my one year rawversary...

What now?

As of this morning, I've hit my lowest recorded weight ever (yay!). Does anyone have some advice or resources for sticking with raw once you've reached your goal? I know that my health...

I did the diet it recommended for a while, and lost ten pounds. I felt good at first, but I think that's just because it recommended that I cut out wheat. All the meat made me constipated and...

I've gone through those times too, and even though it sounds weird, I think it's detox. My advice would be to juice for a day or two. Whatever you do, make sure you eat plenty of greens. I went...
