Jumping in for day #1 of being raw on Monday! My health problems have encouraged me to try raw again. I'm excited to get started, but I have a bad track record with eating raw so I'm a bit nervous....

Not that they are really excuses, I'm very dedicated to my health. I have no problem eating vegan, but for some reason really struggle with raw no matter how hard I try.
I have had health problems...

I have strayed away from my raw ways, mostly because I was bored with what I was eating and am always on a very tight budget.

I'd like to start adding more raw foods again, and was hoping you guys...

Now that us students are heading back to school, I'm curious what people bring for lunch/snacks? Any simple recipes? Lugging enough apple, peaches and bananas to school is just not practical!

Sorry it took me so long to reply.

That's too bad contessa :( I gave my other juicer away, and now I have no way to make juice (I can't afford another one). It was given to me because she had...

I was given a Brevilee JE900 juicer (by someone who would have took VERY good care of it). However it leaks like crazy where the fibre goes into the container (even though I make sure the container...

Hmm...an hour or two before I work out? lol! I usually have to eat right before I work out or I get hungry almost immediatly, which is really distracting when I'm doing weights :S
Maybe I'll have...

Awesome, thanks Aleesha! Today I'm trying just juice except for a smoothie before and after I workout, and see how that goes.

Perfect, thank you! I'm in the gym daily and usually walk a couple of hours a day, so a juice fast just isn't enough for me. I figured green smoothies will still be beneficial, and I won't have to...

I was thinking of switching to a green smoothie fast, however now that I've spoiled myself with fresh juice I don't want to give it up LOL! Could I drink juice on a green smoothie diet, or would that...

How come the persons post was deleted about eating disorders? It would have been neat hearing everyones opinion.

I'm jealous of all of you!

Used to live on a bike when I was younger. Finally made the leap in the Winter and bought a 2006 Norco Rival, and got some work done on it. It was nothing great, but...

Nice to meet anothr raw foodie from the area! I haven't met anyone else from around here who is. I managed to track down two people in Kingston, where I will be moving in September. We seem to be a...

Day 1 of fast was a SUCCESS! It had it's ups and downs, but for the most part I felt great. Friday will be my last day, as my cousin (she is going to school to be a personal trainer) will be coming...

Thank you Aleesha! You have been so helpful! I didn't realize it was normal, figured it would be something to worry about. I shall start today as day 1 lol!

My other big problem: vegetable juice...

Yesterday didn't go so well! I ended up having one 'regular' meal. I was hungry, and felt dizzy and weak. Figured better to be safe then sorry! So I'm hoping today I can make it on just juice, but...

And they turned into little plants :P. They had green buds on the ends of the sprout. I threw them out, but would they still have been OK to eat? Did I let them sprout too long?

I used to LOVE bean salads and chick pea jardinieres. Something like that would be great for preparing in advanced and craving when I'm hungry. Does anyone have any recipes for something like that,...

Day 1 of fasting! Had a yummy appl/grape/lemon juice for breakfeast. Felt the difference at the gym between having just juice in my system and food. Ah well!

I know it's better to drink the juice...

Will do!
Back from the grocery store. I'm prepared to get started! I'm guessing it would be different for everyone, but on average how much juice do you drink on a fast in a day?

Thanks so much for the tips! I think I'm going to start my fast tomorrow. I do have a couple of concerns though.

-I know when I take wheatgrass (I'd only have it every couple of weeks) because it...

It is a BRAUN MP80.

Oh. My. Gosh. To test to see if it worked, I cut up a couple of apples to make apple juice. This is quite possibly the greatest tasting juice I have ever had (Once I got past...

sozei that put a smile on my face! lol thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm really excited to try it out! What would you suggest for a first timer? 1-2 days then see how I'm doing?

Oh, and do you have any suggestions for a mix with orange...

Hello fasters! Newbie here crashing your thread.
Today I made the leap-I bought a juicer for $4 at a yard sale! I haven't used it yet, so I can't tell you if it works LOL. If not, I will go yard...
