The book you mentioned on July 8th - is it Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine by Gabriel Cousens? Do you still like it and find it helping with the raw food diet?
Enjoy those kittens. Are you and your dad okay now? Maybe yelling at him aired some things that needed airing...

Those baby peppers are good - yellow, orange, and red. I haven't eaten the lemon cucumber or fiddleback ferns yet, hopefully tonight. I bought some pluots last night at Trader Joe's. I've never tried those before either. It's fun to experiment.
I don't expect the raw food to cure my diabetes, but I expect it to help and it has already. My blood sugars are easier to control without any grains.

Well, I hope you are proud of yourself for making these changes because you should be. Thanks for all the information!

Ok, with my gurgling stomach or intestines yesterday, I found once I ate something it gurgled less and eventually not at all. I wasn't really hungry but I ate a few macadamia nuts and it's like it gave them something to chew on. ;-) Maybe my intestines were just too clean from the colonic.
I weighed myself this morning and I have not only lost the couple pounds I gained while taking prednisone

Wow, you did good introducing your relatives to wheatgrass and rejuvelac. So, do you grow your own wheatgrass and make your own rejuvelac? You must have taken your juicer with you, which juicer do you use that works well with both wheatgrass and watermelon ring?
I admire you so much. You have a lot going on in your life and you are still eating raw. Good for you!
I agree with you, they are

85% raw is still great! Good for you. When I fall off the wagon I usually do a lot worse than that. I hope you can get back on track soon though, so you can feel better.

Oh, I forgot, I think my pudding recipe also included 1/2 c of water.
I felt the need for a colonic yesterday and did one. It felt good but now my stomach is gurgling for some reason. Of course, it could be gurgling because of what I ate, not the colonic. I ate a big salad with many veggies and a tahini dressing kind of late last night. I'm not hungry, so that's not why my stomach is gurgling

Good luck, jonesy! I believe this is one of the toughest things to do, switch to more of a raw diet, but also the most rewarding. I admire you for trying again. I am on my 5th attempt starting the beginning of this month to go 100% raw. Sometimes the reactions from other people gets to me and how it affects the ability to mix in and socialize. I think it's sad how junk food is part of every socia

I think it is harder for us adults to listen to our intuition on what to eat because we have ignored our body's signals for so long. I remember reading The Raw Family and her son, in particular, seemed to have an intuition about what to eat when they switched to the raw diet. One time he craved cucumbers and just kept eating them until finally the craving was over. Would I listen to a craving lik

I drank that green beet juice after all last night AND ate the left over cherry/frozen fruit/raw chocolate smoothie. I think I accidentally came up with a good recipe for raw pudding. The smoothie hardened up in the frig overnight and was just like a pudding - and it was very yummy! I pitted a bunch of cherries and put it in my K-tec blender and added a frozen banana, 5 frozen strawberries, 10 fr

I bet cutting way back on the dried fruit, raw cheese, and definitely the coffee would help you to feel lots better on a raw food diet. Some raw foodists don't believe in including any of those. The dried fruit is pretty concentrated sugar and I know with my Type 1 Diabetes I have to avoid it. Raw cheese sure is yummy, but I got to where I could just feel the hit to my system when I ate it. It's

pampam, thanks for that information on juicing organic watermelons. Sounds good! I may have to try it someday.
camille, my dad was from Louisiana, which has a lot of french descendants, but we are not french ourselves. But then I went and married someone from up north of french descent. So, my daughter has a french first, last, and middle name - funny how it worked out.

I am been feeling anger some too and it didn't dawn on me until I read your post. I guess it is just something we will have to go through and, if we keep eating raw, get past. I bet it is the liver like pampam say, which gets so congested with cooked food.
Don't give up, you can do this!

Hi pam, I sympathize. It is really hard to do this alone. Right now, for instance, I am cooking pancakes for my son and I don't know anyone else around here that eats like this either. Anyway, that is why I like this forum. It is helping to keep me motivated.

Keep it up girl, you are doing great! All those good changes are happening and maybe the IBS type issues will clear up eventually too. It may just take longer.
I love avocados, but I had food allergy testing done awhile back (the blood test IgG kind) that says I am allergic or sensitive to them. It also said I was sensitive to sesame seeds (which would include tahini - another raw food I love)

That's interesting, pampam. I was curious if anyone included the watermelon rind when they juiced. Have you ever included the rind with any other fruits - like pineapple?
Just 2 more days of taking the prednisone for my poison ivy and the higher resulting blood sugars. I've gained a few pounds because of the increased insulin I've had to take, but I'm not worrying about it. They should go away

Well, that new holistic doctor was nice and wants to run a lot of tests on me. She emphasizes preventive medicine, which is good. I am most interested in the Spectracell test which will show all my vitamin levels - including Vitamin D which is in the news a lot lately as being a big problem for everybody. The only thing that I was a little disappointed in is that she wasn't interested in my diet,

I'm still going up and down on the blood sugars due to the prednisone, but I will be done with it in a few more days - thank goodness. The poison ivy is healing and I think that is what is itching now, the healing and flaking of skin. I can see the end in sight though, so that's good.
Okay, yesterday I had a frozen fruit smoothie for breakfast (so yummy!) and then later half of a banana to tak

I am one week raw, this time, today! Thanks for the encouragement, camille. I saw your name on another posting, is it okay to use it? My father's name was Camile and so is my daughter's middle name. Love that name!
Yeah, I thought it was funny. He's kind of like a rock star but he is promoting raw foods instead of singing, so he is a raw star I guess. It is nice to see the message getting spre

pampam,
I wanted to point out this video by Dr. Mercola . He doesn't eat 100% raw, but no grains, sugar, processed foods, etc. But anyway, I thought his video was a different take on the smoking issue. He seems to think one should correct their diet first before they stop smoking. But sounds you have already done that, so you may be ready.
Just food for thought.

Dr. Robbins always said not to juice what you wouldn't normally eat, so he would agree with you that juicing the rinds and seeds is gross (and I agree too). I tried including the pineapple rind one time when I juiced a pineapple a long time ago because some guru recommended it, and it WAS gross! ;-)
You are so right, the human body is such a mystery. Dr. Robbins used to say our body is smarter

Btw, this forum is keeping me so motivated! I just know this time I will stick with this wonderful diet for life! The only tough thing on the near horizon is a visit with the family in Oklahoma in August. Oh well, they are pretty used to me being weird. I have juiced, etc. at their house before. ;-)
Thanks, I am pretty happy with my bs numbers too. Hopefully, my A1c number will be much better

I eat nothing or a little fruit or a small fruit smoothie for breakfast (depending on if I am hungry or not).
I might eat 1/2 to a whole banana in the mid-morning if I get hungry.
At lunch I usually get a salad at the company salad bar with no dressing. On weekends it might be a green veggie juice.
I might eat a piece of fruit (grapefruit, apple, orange, or peach usually) in the mid-aft

Hi, Pooch,
I am following Matt Monarch's approach in his Raw Spirit book. Half of the book is an interview with Dr. Fred Bisci (a 40 year raw foodist) so it is really good. They believe that eating too much fruit (which Dr. Bisci tried to do at first and has seen patients and acquaitances that tried it) causes Hyperinsulin and the ratio of sugar to minerals causes problems. He said these peopl

From what I have read, protein is not a concern if you are eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Protein is made up of amino acids and our body has an amino acid pool where it accumulates what you provide through eating and combines and uses them as needed. For example, a banana has all 8 essential amino acids (and maybe tomatoes too, can't remember for sure). In fact fruits and veggies prov
