I have a dear friend who is obese. She is very interested in raw foods, mostly for weight loss, but she is hesitant as every other "diet" has failed her in the past. She is willing to give it a shot,...

Hiya Pansy and thank you so much!

I haven't posted in a couple weeks. I'm still recovering from my accident and taking lots of time to rest and recoup.

It was so nice to see your wishes on the...

Problem is I can't smell them nor taste them at present. My nose is broken and my mouth is wired shut (amongst other injuries from an accident 6 weeks ago).

I guess I'll just hold onto them and...

I'm reading this thread with interest and still don't know what to make of the conflicting info. For what it's worth, I've had 7 miscarriages. During those times I've been SAD, vegetarian, cooked...

Congrats Lorena! What a wonderful birthday gift! :)

I can't add anything to Raene's list, but I will second her recommendation to read Jinjee's book. I've never had a raw pregnancy, but the...

Gingersnap and cherry pie (funny, since I don't like the SAD version!)

My eyes must be tired. I thought this thread said, "What's your favorite Lace Bra?" I thought, "Now that's a strange topic...

Can anyone tell me how long nuts last before going rancid/bad? I have a bag of mixed (in the shell) nuts that I think are over a year old, maybe more! I found them when clearing out a pantry of my...

I recently returned to the board after a year's hiatus. When I read this thread last year I thought "no way". Now I am really, really intrigued and want to start this right away....yet I can't! I...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I did the baking soda bath and used the shea butter since it was what I had on hand. It seems to have worked. My skin is still a little warm, but nothing like...

I got sunburned today and noticed now (many hours later) that is it much worse than I originally thought. My face and forearms are really red and my one arm hurts a bit.

I have some pure shea...

I think (and anyone may correct me if I'm wrong) that Alissa wrote her book primarily for those to whom raw foods is a competely new concept. There are many people here who eased their way into it...

If you take into consideration the amount of calories it used to take you to maintain your current weight, and the amount of calories/food you are eating now, I'll bet you find that you aren't eating...

Rawca,

Why can't you wear sleeveless shirts or bathing suits? It's not like you're walking around with your arms in the air! :p

If someone's suggestion helps, wonderful. If not, you wear...

Thanks everyone for the nice welcome back!

I look forward to getting to know the people who have come aboard since I left.

EZRider - The Diamonds' book was also what introduced me to raw! I...

Hi Everyone,

Some of you may remember me from a couple years ago. It has been more than a year since I last posted.

I am back with my tail tucked between my legs, having fallen off the raw...

What an incredible transformation!!! Congratulations!!! :D

I jumped rope quite a bit when I first started raw 2 years ago. However, my feet and shins took a beating, so I switched to skipping rope in intervals of jumping.

Someone has claimed the magazines. :)

I ask because I recently "cashed" in some unusable frequent flyer miles for magazine subscriptions. The variety wasn't that great and I ended up picking a few mags that I have given away. One that I...

<<Nod,nod,nod. Yup! 6. I was counting the one in the oven.>>

Revvell, I'm suprised at you. In the oven? In the dehydrator, maybe! :D

I'm going to listen to this tonight, too.

I do the same as Katie does, with the cauliflower. I was a real rice lover and this has helped tremendously with the cravings.

I had been chiding my brother for not eating ANY fruits or vegetables when he called me one day and proudly announced that he had, in fact, had lettuce, tomato and onion for lunch. I said, "That's...

I get in a large amount of greens everyday. Two big bunches in my smoothie (which lasts most of the morning); and another big bunch either at lunch or dinner in a salad. Love my greens. :)

Yes, I went through this and now my hair is strong and healthy and grows so fast. I recommend plenty of greens and making sure you have enough EFA's in your diet (as Jaurequi mentioned).

Thank you so much, Zuzu!! :D
