Anastazia...Ireland... I'm back, too!!! This is probably the 9th time I've started again, but as long as we get back on raw at least one more time than we get off it, we're doing better than most of...

Well, of course it leaves out a lot of foods...

... it leaves out all the foods that lead to diabetes and other illness.

What she really means is "it's too simple and it doesn't require...

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone! I definitely need more water and I know eating more raw will help (and no caffeine!! Eeek!) I'm not opposed to chiropractic, but was waiting to see what...

well how incredibly frustrating... the Phys. Ass't called and I talked to her a while. She says I have "significant and impressive" bulges at C5/6 and C6/7. The 5/6 should cause the sympoms in my...

Hi all,

Just got a voicemail from my doc -- I have two bulging discs in my neck that are causing numbness and pin/needles in my hand and arm. This is good incentive to get myself back on a 100%...

So I guess it wasn't just me. I've smelled that smell before, though MUCH fainter and totally tolerable. THis one was ... nauseating. I almost made pudding out of it, which was my intention, but I...

Okay all you tropical fruit gurus... are papayas supposed to smell and taste like stinky feet cheese?? I don't even know what stinky feet cheese is, but that's what it smelled and tasted like....

Well, trials are supposed to build character. I've learned through this so far, and I know I have even more to learn yet.

Thanks to everyone else for your "welcome back"s :)

So.... are ya back on??? Are ya? Are ya? :D

Don't know about the benefits, but my batch was truly nasty. Now I like "weird" stuff... I love kombucha where many can't stand it. I figured I'd be okay with rejuvelac, but tried straight, it was so...

Well...

dust yerself off and get back on in the morning! You may be bruised from your fall, but you're not broken...;)

The quicker you get back on, the better. You're certainly not alone...

I've found the same thing here... mostly with green organic bananas though and not so much conventional. One bunch even stayed green and got hard...never soft and ripe. What's up with that?!

Thanks Elizabeth. Yes, it's like RP (I hope I'm crediting the correct person) said... "I don't have to eat raw, I get to eat raw." (Hope I quoted it correctly as well)

Hi all! I'm back again.

Some of you know my husband died nearly 8 weeks ago. That threw me off the raw track. That first week or two were a numb blur and I just didn't care about staying raw,...

Depends if you go by calories or number of meals, but if we're counting number of meals it seems more like:

66% raw = half lunch and half dinner cooked
75% raw = 6-8 cooked meals per week
80%...

I just posted this in my blog, but wanted to offer it to those who don't read the blogs...

...

I just had an interesting analogy pop into my head regarding the raw food journey.

Have you...

Yes! If you're ingesting the fiber, your body is still expending energy to try to digest and eliminate it. The point of juices is to get all the nutrients while resting the digestive system. Energy...

Hi Shannon!

A friend and I are planning to start this March 1. I've read the first month of Angela's blog and she says it was only about $5 a day. Not sure how prices in Costa Rica compare to...

SWEET!!! I can view the new board just like the old one now :) Thanks much! It makes a huge difference, even if it sounds like a trivial issue.

Well, I have a "food drawer" which has nuts, raisins, lara bars, dates, etc.

I bring a huge lunch bag of bananas, apples, oranges or whatever fruit I have. I leave it there for the week, bring...

How awesome for you, Sherah! :)

I remember the first time I got a true compliment like that when I was about 90 days raw. Someone at church who I didn't see that often walked by me, said hi,...

...and I don't know that I'd call them ruined even if they DID get a little too warm. True, they wouldn't be technically raw or living if they got hot enough to kill the enzymes, but they're still...

I get this, too. I hate to have my browser take up my whole window--usually it's taking up about 3/4 to 4/5 so I can still see the desktop icons on the left side (I keep my browser to the right side...

Hi.... wondering if any of you have started (or participate in) a raw foods group of any kind at your church. If so, would you be willing to share your program, things you've learned, what works,...

I find them to be quite heavy and I don't eat them that often, personally. However, I bought them because I want to try keeping them at work for the days I want a hearty snack in the afternoon, or a...
