anti-raw stance?
California has recently passed a ban on raw milk starting in 2008- namely, raw milk with a certain number of one of the many bacterias is no longer 'safe' (it's one of the feeder bacteria that keeps the milk less toxic than pasturized)- and whenever some veggie or fruit has contamination, raw milk is temporarily banned for the 'public's safety'.

i used to make it with raw sugar.
man, my kombuchas were monsters- i had a very happy compost pile.
i'd use white sugar if i started making it now, cheaper, and that mushroom thing will eat whatever you give it.
so, you can use raw sugar, you just have to monitor it a bit more closely- not to overage or get vinegar.

i'm an super easy raw-fooder.
i do no prep, except to cut and toss together.

i'm not vegan, so i have other things that i cannot mention.
but the chief things in my diet are green juices and salads.

i smoked on and off for six years.
i went raw, and smoked even less, but didn't try to quit.
got pregnant and lost the taste.
never gone back.
but i found myself working my way there on raw.
drinking and smoking were quickly losing their appeal as i grew on raw.
i think there have been amazing posts here.

155. Re: Acne!
hm,
avocados did give me acne. just avocados though, not olive oil. nuts and seeds make it worse too.
so it seems some fats do affect it.
and hormones.
i don't eat dates or other sweet fruits too much, lately, except in green juice (apples and carrots with a lot of green things).
and for the first time since i got preggers, my skin is great.
i have very low blood sugar and

hm, i have no good news with raw foods and stretches/stretched skin.
my thighs stretched when i grew at puberty, and i got marks on the inner part.
my breasts sagged when i turned 23, and they stretched too.
pregnancy only gave me 5 tiny lines on my belly- but i was raw then, but my outer thighs got stretch marks the first pregnancy.
oh, and pregnancy added to my breast stretch marks.

159. Re: female question?
i used to have a really long cycle, and light periods. my last two periods (in may and june) were 28 days, very light, painless and almost nothing of note. then i got pregnant.
while raw and breastfeeding, i would ovulate, but not bleed. this happened three or four times.
i'm used to a normal cycle, light, painless, and easy. but also long cycles have been normal for me.

i love raw coconut- and the juice is amazing.

i went sodium free for years, but my problem wasn't salt, but wheat.
but i still eat a low sodium diet, most of the time i add no salt to my foods. but every so often, my body wants salty things. i keep dulse on hand, and sea salt.
i just went through a huge salt-eating phase. i desperately craved it, and would be unsatisfied with food unless i added salt. so finally i broke down (worri

my fat always gets really soft right before it melts away.
so i think the soft jiggliness is good.
as for cellulite- i never had it before i got pregnant. (and it wasn't b/c i didn't have any toxins in my body) but i didn't store my fat as cellulite.
the estrogen in pregnancy gave me some weight on the back of my thighs, which faded as i breastfed, and eventually went away, but i'm pretty

i guess since i don't use a lot of recipes, i never run into this problem.
i don't like onions or garlic b/c i smell like them for days after i eat them, and they stay on my tongue. so i choose not to eat them.
if you have a reaction to onions, i'd stay away from garlic too, too many similar compounds that could affect you.
as for texture, sprouts have that fresh crispy crunch, as d

my first pregnancy turned me against caffeine really quickly. but in the second trimester, i could have small doses, and did, third trimester- no more.
this time around, i can have small amounts of cacao, but i don't really want it.
any other caffeine is just horrible.
cacao doesn't affect me as badly as coffee, so i'm not sure about David Wolfe's thing on coffee/cacao/caffeine. but av

i always travel with larabars-
but i don't eat them at home.
they're like snickers or hersheys to me.
delicious, but not as nutritious as fruit and veggies.
i don't like some of them (cherry pie, or cashew cookie) but generally find them a fun and easy diversion from my fresh foods, and a nice treat.
esp the cacao rich ones now.... yum.

nuts and seeds are not something you need a lot of, nor do you need them frequently. i go months without looking at them. and feel great. i agree about the prepared raw/gourmet raw- i don't waste my time.
except for banana sorbet with raw cacao- once a month.
avocados and olive oil are pretty good. i can live with those pretty well.
coconut oil, when desired.

lots of good info here-
go slow- you don't need to detox with a baby on board. detoxing is really hard on them.
and listen to your body-
if you get a headache and realize you've only done fruits and veggies,
eat something a little more stablilizing- like brown rice.
but adding fruits and veggies in is always important,
and you'll probably find the more you eat,
the less prenatals yo

congrats- zapple!
that's so exciting-
i find that juicing is really essential during pregnancy, esp during the first trimester, as nausea is kinda hard and juicing can get you all the nutrients without usually causing nausea.
once you hit your second trimester, you'll start craving more carb rich and dense foods- avocados are a huge filler, bananas, still a lot of juice, and coconuts are

how can they say things like

there isn't much juice
i would put the pulp through repeatedly
and i liked the juice a lot
though i would generally cut it with sweeter juices
unless i was taking it therapeutically
