sugar is energy. greens and sprouts are nutritious, but they certainly do not give enough expendable energy for most people!
i'm a watery fruit fan, like someone else, the cleaner the sugar, the more i love it. i love dates, otherwise known as the raw candy, and pears when they are falling off the stem.
one of the things here is that everyone's body functions a little differently. some p

332. Re: Pomegranates
i've tried pomegranates with my Champion and after that the Omega. with seeds, i agree, most non-raw-juicer-folks would find it a bit unappealing. the Pepto-bismol color almost chased me away, and i was surprised at all the seed bits that gave so much fiber to my drink.
i think i'll try the citrus juicer trick next time. that sounds like it could work. either that, or just getting some che

bone structure may be too set to change b/c of diet. but you can really adjust the flesh and muscles and skin hanging on it. that is really a huge thing.
i'm dreadfully allergic to wheat/rye/oats/barley/spelt/kamut and the rest. what you describe sounds like me on a cooked SAD diet. i used to notice it in my hands and face most.

Kim-
no good oranges until winter really starts. i don't know where they're getting these, but the season is off. we tend to juice now, but they've been horrible for us too, and eat in the winter! i'm not buying until they look delicious again!
limes and lemons- also tend to juice. the acid can be bad for your teeth if you chew them. but juiced, they go on anything and mix with everythin

confuzed-
you're going to find there are a lot of different opinions on raw even on this board. some are going to be more vegetable oriented, others more fruit, and others you'll have no idea what they're eating b/c they dis everything!
there are conflicts w/ fat (David's 5 small avocados, while delicious and wonderful would be viewed as excessive) and a whole lot more!

hm, tasting identical. might be tough.
i can do cinnamon raisin.
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dates
cinnamon to taste (i like a lot, 2 tsp, but 1 is probably enough)
i put the cinnamon, raisans and dates and 1/2 of the pecans through my juicer together until they form a thick paste, once in the champion, twice in the omega. chop the rest of the pecans (or coffee grind them)

took my husband 8 days to get past the detox signs, and he fasts often. the tongue is the worst. the face means your skin is jumping in on the detox. your breath is horrible mostly b/c of your tongue. do you have a tongue scraper? i always brush my tongue, but it makes some people gag.
so today his tongue is pink and his body is finally not too funky smelling. the more you purify your di

sha-
i just jumped on this link. i bought my omega a few years ago, and was very disappointed. not only was the machine hard to clean up and inconstant, but the directions in the manual actually caused me to burn a 'nozzle' (what the hell are those for?) onto the blank. i followed the directions and they wanted me to mail the pieces back to see if they qualified for a refund. i was pissed.

hey, start it and see how it goes!
i miss chewing when i fast, but it is a cleaner and better way of living. now that you bring it up, i'm now thinking about it for myself. i'd miss my nuts. and seeds. but last time i went on juice only, i didn't really want them.
thanks for the idea!
blessings to all the juice people! hope to join you soon.

my husband gets them when he eats too many high-acid fruits. he recently only ate pineapple, orange juice and grapefruit juice for a day and though he has been really unstressed and resting, he got a sore. he's also sensitive to mangos.

RIGHT ON.
good to hear positive stuff on raw bodies that have meat on them. and i applaud your efforts both for yourself and others. i've seen the negative posts and have to laugh as well. even raw, if i worked out as much as some of people claim too, i'd be big. but living raw for me means less obsessing about meeting societal ideals, not trying to meet them while not living according to

Hey,

i've loved figs since i was a kid in greece and we had a tree in our backyard. though i don't eat them fresh that often since the price puts me off. but the buggie thing doesn't put me off. the caterpillars i've found in Medjool dates have scared me before. i give tho

start each day with fresh fruit. and fresh vegetable juice.
make lunch a raw meal with fresh veggies and/or fruit. probably a fatty one to fill you as your body transitions (avocado) and a flavorful salad blend.
try and stay raw for dinner, but don't be horrified if you really crave cooked food. try and eat as little as possible, steamed veggies, barely hot, for instance. cut out the me

spelt does have gluten. not as much as wheat, but enough to aggravate gluten allergies.
i'm with bryan, flax is the best. though i suppose all seeds could work. though i wouldn't do sesame.
i've read about the opiates qualities of grains too, and i think it is all, but wheat is the most prevalent in our society. sprouting any grain you wish will help, but grains are grains, if you're se

i'm hoping eating raw will also help you just feel better and glow from the inside out. 5 3 and 105? that's a very nice ratio. i'm 5 5 and 125 or so, though i don't get on the scale very often.
my face shape has changed dramatically, from very puffy/round to nicely oval. part of it is age though, when i hit 25, there was a distinct shift, but it might have corresponded with my turn to raw

to be perfectly honest, though there are no hormones in copper, it seems putting a copper device into your uterus to fool it into thinking it's pregnant seems like it would still have some negative effects. i guess it's easier than learning and working with your own cycles, but i would be very careful. there are negative aspects, and if you do get pregnant while still having the iud, the danger

i'm not sure how it works with tomatoes. i know with spinach, there are some "supernutrients" that can become toxic in high doses, but that are not overly accessable when raw. so i can't help but think tomatoes are better raw, even if that one nutrient is less accessable.
i eat a lot of raw tomatoes.
