i'm really curious about those lara bars...don't think i can get them here.
sounds like you're doing awesome! i love the green smoothies too. and i'm always shocked when i count the calories....i can't imagine eating 2000 calories raw, that would be soooo much food!!!
you're so right....the situation in the states could definitely be worse....but man, it should be sooooo much better than i

man....
just showed up to work and one of the teachers i work with handed me a whole cacao. she rocks! but i still haven't figured out what to do with the first one!!
she did, however, tell me that when i cut it open, i need to peel the beans (with my teeth or fingernails) and let them dry, then grind them. i don't have a dehydrator....any thoughts? i shall experiment tonight!!

well said...america is a toxic nation....yup, in so many ways. i'm in a city in brazil that is supposedly in one of the poorer regions...yet when i look out my window i can see mcdonalds, pizza hut, burger king, wal-mart, and even a sam's club. literally, all down the street in front of my apartment. the people here had such a diverse and interesting diet, and now when i see them sitting in their

it is indeed awesome in brazil.....i've only been here for a few months, i'm actually from texas. hopefully i'll be here for awhile though!
the markets are fabulous....just such a huge variety of fruits. and because of the year-round warm climate, there's always tons of stuff in season. very good for a raw foodie!
still haven't touched the cacao.....going to research it online now!

yay for you!!
how lucky that you have an uncle that has been raw for so long- what a motivation!
just ignore your friend....some people are just like that. how you feel is all that matters, right?

mmm, raw carob....need to learn how to say that in portuguese so i can see if they have it here.
well, today has been great so far! after that wonderful mint pear smoothie, i had a huge salad for lunch. arugula, spinach, parsley, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, almonds, avocado (mmmmmmm), a little olive oil and lime juice.....really really good. pretty fatty though,

mmm....apple juice cleanse. sounds good.
someone posted that they juiced apples with mint leaves...that sounds so amazingly good to me! it inspired my breakfast green smoothie today of pear, mint, and spinach.
how many precleanse days do you plan on doing?

wow, paulina....i'm so sorry about your family.
i completely understand...my uncle and my father-in-law both died of cancer a few years ago. cancer really terrifies me...BIG part of the reason i'm eating more raw now.
hopefully once your husband sees your commitment and your good health he will be on board!
i'll keep your family in my thoughts.
so i last night i thought i'd made the be

45. vitamin D?

hi paulina!
i'm new to this too, and i understand the "all or nothing" mentality. i keep telling myself i'm not 100% right now, and there's no reason to feel guilty if i have a little cooked food here and there....as long as the majority is raw, i'm doing loads better than i was before!
good luck with your fast! what kind of juices are you using?

hi all!
i love reading about all of your experiences, so i thought it might help me stay motivated if i posted my own.
i'm not 100% raw by any means...this is all fairly new to me. i definitely grew up on THE typical american diet, and tried every fad diet under the sun, with little to no real results. weight has always been an issue. then a few years ago, i developed a horrible allergy pro

okay, great! thanks for the help!
i know that they aren't unhealthy- they are natural- i was just curious about the "live enzymes". i know heating destroys them, but does freezing?

51. frozen pulp?
hi everyone,
i was wondering about the value of drinking juice made from frozen pulp. where i live, it is very easy to buy many types of frozen pulp to blend: they haven't been pasteurized, there's no added sugar or anything, it is simply a package of fruit pulp that has been frozen. i know that fresh is best, but is it okay and considered "raw" to consume this? the fruit has not bee
