let's say they were the worms that kids get (and dogs), eating a ton of carrots get rid of them...so if you want to be sure you could try this.

My belly is not very happy with green smoothies, I always end up with the runs...it doesn't really bother me but I have noticed some people talking about mono eating, is that what my body is trying to tell me?

thanks for the responses! Phantom, there are not to many dandelions where we are going and I am definitely not adept when it comes to wild edibles (I will be attending a wild edible excursion held by rawbc in Surrey, BC...yay!!!). Sunflower, thanks for the encouragement and I'm thinking there is some truth to what you're saying...thanks again!

I'm going camping for a week and will not have access to electricity. Green smoothies have changed my life sooo dramatically I am scared to give them up, even for just a week! I was thinking of whipping up a whole a batch, store them in mason jars and limit myself to 1/day. Any advice? Thanks.

I understand your struggle. I am going through the same thing. Victoria Boutenko writes that we need to listen to our bodies when we have cravings and I totally agree with this. I think that in my case, and many others, we need to uncover what our body really needs when it's craving the bad stuff. So, if you're jonesing for dates and walnuts, what possible nutrition is your body after? I'm fi

What a fantastic law! As a teacher I always feel so sad for my 8 year old students who come to school stinking of cigarettes. I used to smoke, but since having my own kids I can't even imagine putting toxins into their little bodies, let alone mine!

yeah, I know what you mean. I'm new to this lifestyle as well and have found that I rely quite a bit on the "junk food" to keep me satisfied. Avos definitely fill me up. I also just gave myself the green light to eat as much as I want as long as it's raw. I am so used to limiting and watching what I eat, it is very freeing to just eat when I'm hungry. As a newbie it is hard to beli

that sounds like an allergy? I'm new to this raw thing but not new to serious food allergies. Do they tingle too?

I love my bullet and it makes the perfect amount so that my smoothies are always fresh, never any leftovers. I have not had any problems with it (touch wood), I've made thick dips and ground nuts with great success. I use it a minimum of 4 times a day. I did notice that it is a little harder to clean, but that seems so minor for all its benefits.

Hey Pampam, we've chatted and you've given me some great encouragement! I'm in Vancouver but often go down to Snohomish because I have family there. Next time I'm in America I'd love to meet up if it's convenient!

THanks sundancer! I've been away camping for the last bit. It has been a tradition to be yummy goodies such as candy and chips on camping trips. I found a great recipe that allowed me to indulge:
1 cup of figs or raisins
1 cup of your choice of nuts
a little oil if you want
grind up the figs, grind up the nuts and mix together reserving some of the nut dust. roll into marble size ball

oh Pampam, don't worry about it! I am looking forawrd to trying the nettles next summer! I was walking y my neighbour's house the other day and was practically salivating at all the dandelion leaves she had in her yard! And to think I used to curse my neighbours for not taking care of their lawns! Now I can benefit from them teeheee!

thanks for the encouragement sundancer! AFter my blown day I had a really good day, I guess because I was really, truly not hungry and felt terrible. Today has been back to normal, I'm eating lots of fruit and have had one green smoothie. I felt so nasty after my tortellini fiasco I think I may have learned my lesson! Hopefully it will not be forgotten!

so...I'm thinking I should re-title this thread to the 30 day journey towards 100% raw....this hasn't been as easy as I forecasted. Perhaps it is due to my own eating issues or maybe it's like this for everybody. Yesterday started off stellar. I ate fruit to my hearts content and had two green smoothies. However, by evening I ended up eating a big bowl of tortellini that I had made for my fam

eeeeew, I didn't know what stinging nettle was until Pam mentioned that she put it in her smoothies which neutralizes the stingers....I know that weed, I HATED when I accidentally stepped on those as a kid. OUCH! I did google it and the Canadian government warns not to ingest if breastfeeding....I don't mind if I got a little sick from it...but not babushka...I'll wait until she's weaned for ex

to make the sunflower hummus I just use sunflower seeds that have been soaked for 24 hours instead of garbanzos. Last night I added some zuchinni and it was very yummy. When I cook I don't really measure but here's what's in it (approximate measurements):
1 cup of dry sunflower seeds that I soak
2-3 garlic cloves (depending on how you like it)

thanks for the advice Pam! I've been curiously looking at the different weeds wondering if they are edible or not. Do you just wash and eat the stinging nettle or do you prepare it in some way? It's funny, ever since I started the green smoothies I have been craving them more and more....lately I've had a hankering to eat flowers...I NEVER thought I'd have a hankering for flowers (and have no

thanks for the encouragement sundancer! I've tried the kale and am not a big fan of its taste, I do add a couple of leafs into my smoothies every second day. I REALLY dig spinach smoothies, I could literally live off them.
So anyhoo, the pigs crashed (but did not burn, because this would mean finality to my rawness). I guess not getting enough calories made me so hungry I could not control

thanks for the advice Sundancer! I am tempted to agree with you after my first full day of raw I found that my body was really craving something fatty. By evening I had a handful of almonds and felt much better. Day one was successful and looked something like this:
3 bananas
3 apples
3/4 cups of strawberries
1/2 cup mango
ginger
1 container of baby romaine
1 english cucumber

30. 30day 100% raw
Since I was a child I always passed up the mushy carrots, brocs and green beans and insisted my veggies be raw. My mother encouraged this way of eating and always had fresh fruit or "God's candy", on hand. I never cared much for meat and would simply choke it down because it was healthy for me (I have learned since then). Therefore, going raw doesn't seem like a big deal....huh. Exce
