182. no mo nama shoyu
i guess it was about a month ago i started logging my food intake into nutritiondata.com and found out that my sodium intake was through the roof, largely thanks to my old friend, nama shoyu. so i decided to see if i could at least keep my sodium levels to the rda, and figured out just how much NS and sea salt i was alloted per day in order to meet that small goal. then i told myself that the bot

or she could do a juice "fast" incorporating lots of leafy greens and fruits. this might be cleansing enough for her to help with the excema.
as an aside, i used to work in a retail store that sold hawaiian kukui nut oil, and people from around the world would call/write to order and reorder the stuff, saying it was the only thing that ever helped them with their excema and psoriasi

well, tell yourself you can have it tomorrow if you still want it. then think of something really nice to do for yourself today that doesn't involve food. get a massage, go for a walk, spend time with a friend, or as a last resort just lock yourself in the house and give your neighbor your car keys and tell them in no uncertain terms that they should not give them to you until tomorrow.

187. Re: Hi.Resignation
hey brian, we've all been there. the raw food path is kind of like yoga... you can't compare your progress to the progress of the person on the mat next to you. its all about being YOU, sometimes joyfully, sometimes painfully. so don't compare yourself to anyone else, or imagine that everyone is effortlessly succeeding where you are struggling/failing. when i slip, i just get back in the saddle a

i tried to make some lentil/nut pates but they came out horrible. but all my nut pates come out horrible, so i can't blame the sprouts.
i like to toss lentil sprouts with a light curry dressing and just snack away. aren't they fun? and if you grow a bunch of colored lentils together they just look beautiful. also great on spinach salads, etc.
