For beverages, when I don't have time or am not up to making smoothies, I put some frozen strawberries in a glass jar, add water and a sweetener such as agave or honey (optional flavoring such as clove or cinnamon, etc).
Throughout the day as the frozen berries melt, it gives the water a nice, light refreshing flavor (kind of a kool-aid look) and when you're done drinking it, you still have th

A friend was feeling down because of something unfair that was done to her. I tried sharing a few words of encouragement and about 45 minutes later you could actually see the hurt beginning to wear off & she saw that as bad as it was that it could have been much worse. But best of all she gave me a big hug for taking the time to listen to her vent and her characteristic smile was back, despi

Actually you don't need to have any appliances to be raw, but it makes it easier to prepare a wider variety of dishes (and different textures of the same ingredients) if you have them. Otherwise, basically a knife would be all you need at a minimum to prepare meals.
Regarding spending on appliances, you can go as simple or as expensive as tools go. The good news is that you can make tasty st

I got the impressiion that at this phase you're rather eat heavier or more filling foods than just salads--if it were not for the time constraints. Maybe you could consider alternating meal formats. For example, prepare 2 quickie salads and/or fruit/veggies recipes to last let's say 3 days. Then on another day prepare let's say 2 different gourmet or more complex recipes to also last let's say

Welcome. Re your question on nut soaking, there is no hard fast rule on it, a few hours is usually good enough, it you want to leave it overnight, that's fine as well. Afterwards you either eat them or use them in recipes. Keep in mind that some recipes specify to use unsoaked nuts.
For more information check out the FAQ of rawfoods.com and while you are there, take time to look at the othe

Many doctors do advise their diabetic patients to refrain from eating grapes/grape juice. And people I know who check their blood sugar have stated that they do see it increase when they have eaten them.
I've never looked into why the grapes in particular causes this situation, but am sure it would be interesting to find out.

There is a saying:

While the new broom may have stronger bristles and apparently be more effective at sweeping, the old broom by being around a longer time (age), acquired much experience to know the tricks of the trade and be more efficient at sweeping since it's better acquainted with all the nooks and cra

The difference is in the property of the texture when used in food preparation. The hard one has more gluten and is usually preferred for baking breads. I'm not sure how much difference there is when making raw breads and other raw dishes as I've used both types and didn't notice any remarkable difference.

Typical Sunday meals consist of coconut and rice aka rice & peas, fried plaintains, meat (chicken or beef) and maybe a few leaves of iceberg lettuce, possibly even a few more vegetables in the salad.
So as an example, you could show that plantains can be eaten raw and still taste good with some seasoning and/or olive oil. For the salad you could use some of the same typical ing

Pistachio, thx for the heads up on the Tahini paste. I went on the Canadian website you mentioned. Is that a site you use for food recalls or is there another?
The recall was mentioned on an ABC affiliate tv station. The FDA's site, fda.gov, also lists some recalls, but I didn't see the current tahini recall there.

Yet one more unexpected advantage of a simple live/raw diet. Because of concern re aluminum I too switched to HFS deodorants, then to powder and after a while, although timid about it, decided to experiment going without, and it has worked for the most part so far. Exceptions are when I've eaten certain strong smelling foods, especially scallion aka green onions, onions, etc and then it changes

Instead of beating up on one's self because of 'setbacks'--meaning less than 100% raw or going back some days to a higher % cooked, take note of the accomplishments and benefits make so far, i.e. eliminating artificial colors and flavors, improved control over food addictions, less trips through fast food establishment

One possibility is that your colon and other avenues of elimination could be clogged due to your previous dietary lifestyle. Now that you have made a significant turnaround in your dietary habits in a relatively short time, your liver and cells are energized to start cleaning house and dumping old toxins.
