Date: April 01, 2011 04:08AM Hi there... so I'm having cravings for eggs... not fried or anything simple soft boiled eggs... i can taste them feel them in my mouth and it seems so good... I even had a dream about them last night... of course I also had a dream about pretzels and PB&J... but that's besides the point eggs have been an on going thing and I haven't had any for 3 years give or take and I'm wondering if I am craving some nutrient that they have that maybe I'm not getting in my mostly raw vegan diet... anyone have any idea what it might be and where I can get this nutrient in a raw form??? I appreciate the info.

Vivid Dreams like that are a sign of a Body getting Pure. Count your blessings, work through it with a Raw Treat you normally wouldn't have, and move on.....WY Re: Cravings

Date: April 01, 2011 09:44AM You could be craving anything from various amino acids/protein, to iodine, vitamin b12 etc.
Worth seeing if some seaweeds take care of the iodine/minerals if you aren't already eating them. If you are taking a b12 supplement then that probably rules that out also. Re: Cravings

Date: April 01, 2011 12:48PM I was once a heavy pot smoker, and for about 5 years after quitting, I'd sometimes have intense dreams about smoking pot, so much so that I was sure I'd given in at some point and had actually smoked some weed. I never did, and eventually the dreams and the cravings went away. So you have to be careful about interpreting dreams - I don't think my body really needed more of that harsh smoke taken into my lungs. Re: Cravings

Date: April 01, 2011 01:18PM ok last night's dream was a tasting of chocolate treats for a wedding... YUMMM... all kinds of treats peanut butter and chocolate chocolate cake chocolate mint things even a vegetarian one that had a thin slice of sweet potato in the middle... strange but good... i'm starting to like these dreams cause this is all things I can't eat due to allergies and such... no eggs in the dream though that craving is more of a day time craving...
I don't take a b12 supplement and have wondering if I should... any suggestions on a good one??? love laugh and dream Re: Cravings

Maybe a Vitamin E thing: peanuts and eggs both have a lot. Also, sweet potatoes. Seeing the pattern here? What's your diet like at the moment? Hope you figure this out soon Re: Cravings

Date: April 01, 2011 01:31PM Sublingual b12 is considered the best, unless you can get access to b12 injections.
Chocolates often though to craving magnesium. Re: Cravings

Date: April 01, 2011 06:32PM what do I eat normally... in the morning I have a smoothie... various fruits lately mostly mango strawberry grapes kiwi peaches plums pineapple with orange or apple juice... not all of them at once at most 3 at a time... with Field of greens powder it's a mix of grasses and their juices... lunch varies slightly today was kale, spinach carrots celery green onions lemon juice and a honey mustard dressing (I know not exactly raw but I did say mostly raw... honey is raw... mustard probably not.) sometimes i switch carrots for beets and beet greens for the kale... sometimes i have a lunch of bananas raisons figs and dates... Dinner is romaine lettuce, a mix of baby greens, zucchini mushrooms broccoli lemon juice and flax oil ... sometimes cabbage mixed in... I was having steamed veg but have slowly been stopping that... but still occasionally have bean thread or thin rice noodles with steamed brussels sprouts and peas in a home made veg broth ... I suppose I am in transition and this is where the dreams are coming in??? I have been going for every other day being 98% raw and the other days having some steamed things but less then before... feeling lighter but having cravings.... it's hard to get raw sea greens around here... I do occasional avocado and Almond milk but not a lot as fat irritates my gall bladder issues...
where do I get Vit E and magnesium from??? got myself a small raw treat at the health food store today it was nice Love laugh and dream Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
