LadyKhazam I'm pregnant and doing fine on a raw diet. I actually feel fantastic, no morning sickness or anything. My only issue is that I'm pretty new to raw and I'm still having a lot of cravings for cooked food which are only made worse by pregnancy. I do take a vegan prenatal vitamin though...just to make sure.

I find myself going grocery shopping every day too. I'm lucky I have a car though and that both Whole Foods and Sunflower Market are on the roads I drive to get home. Really I should be biking, it's only a 5 mile ride to work and I buy such a small amount of groceries that it would be easy to carry them in a basket on my bike.
I really like shopping every day for the food I'm going to eat for d

After I switched to raw foods I found that I actually get upset and antsy if I don't work out. It's become a new requirement in my life. And in order to not feel like I'm wasting all my time at the gym I try to ride my bike and walk to the store for all my errands, I garden, I mow the lawn, I clean the heck out of my house. I reorganize my closet and tool shed. This is all great exercise that get

35. Re: dating
I guess I'm just more concerned with people starving and dying than what's happening to animals. I devote my time and energy to helping people when I can. I don't think that anyone is wrong for wanting to stop factory farming, I agree that it's a horrible thing. When I did eat meat or animal products I bought it all from a local organic farmer anyway, so I put myself out of that a long time ago.

Oh David that's just not true, hehe. I was at the store the other night, walked by the nectarines and they smelled better to me than anything cooked has probably ever smelled! It's not a strong smell like Chinese food or anything, but fruit smells delicious to me just the same. I love the way my kitchen smells after I go grocery shopping and it's full of fruits and veggies.

I like to try and put a positive spin on it. Who did you learn about raw food from? How many people's lives has that person changed? Definitely yours. How many people's lives have you changed just by example? Probably more than you know.

Simple Living I was in the same boat as you at first. I put a lot of lemon juice on things, I like that flavor a lot.
As I've got more into raw I'm noticing that a lot of things just smell burnt to me. I used to walk by Mongolian BBQ on my lunch break every day and my mouth would just water, now I walk by there and it smells gross and burnt to me, I'm wanting to change the route I walk on to av

I sincerely doubt that any meat eaters want creatures to be raped, enslaved or tortured. My parents eat meat, but only eat what they hunt. Yes seriously. I'm sure not going to hold that against them.
It sounds like you have more of an issue w/the factory farming state in this world, which I completely understand. It's the reason I don't eat meat. Those animals are tortured and I don't believe th

"Of course, if cooked vegetarian food is right for someone, that's cool. It's not best and right for me, now. I just don't want others telling me that what is right for them is right for me. "
Lee that is perfect. It's one of the things I see echoed a lot on this forum. If it's best for you do it. My great grandma lived to 93 in perfect health for all but the last few months and she

This won't be a popular opinion but I say if you feel like there is no way to avoid discussing things with her, listen to and really consider her opinions. We as raw foodists don't know we're right anymore than anyone else. There are no long term studies of how eating 100% raw affects the human body. I don't know of any 95 years old out there in perfect health who've been eating raw food their wh

Utopian Life as far as wanting the opposite, I wouldn't say that I do. I'd love it if my husband and I had the same religious and political beliefs along with eating the same way, but we don't. It doesn't make me love him any less. He's kind and caring and extraordinarily good to me and to my family. He completely accepts my beliefs and vice versa. If I can accept be married to a Republican, I c

I wouldn't try to convince her at all. She has made it pretty clear that she is not interested in taking care of her health in the same manner that you are.
I would politely say something like "I appreciate your concern, but I am very happy with my health and the food that I eat" Then make it clear that you will not tolerate any further criticism or rudeness. Don't criticize her diet,

I do need bland food. What kind of weird craving is that? My baby likes bland food, lol. I had soup last night, totally bland, no salt, very little flavor soup and it was great. Fruit is too sweet, anything bitter or sour or tart is out too. How boring!

I'm jealous. I had major detox systems and still get some from time to time. My breath stank, I stank, I got sick, my skin broke out and I was exhausted. Of course I went from an extremely unhealthy Sad diet and was a smoker to almost overnight being raw. I think if you are already pretty healthy to start with you will fare a heck of a lot better than I did. And if you get detox syptoms in the fu

I keep my fridge on the lowest setting. We have a brand new super energy efficient fridge and on the factory setting everything I had was almost frozen. Back when we used butter the butter would be like a rock. I had to turn down the settings in my freezer too though.

Pampam I feel the same way. When I eat raw I feel so much happier. I don't know if it's a weight thing(before raw I was pretty overweight and am on my way down now) or if the food really affects our moods, but I know I feel happier. I feel that same fog that you're talking about when I eat regular food, especially on the few occasions when I have slipped and eaten meat(hey I am a recent vegetaria

On the other hand I say that I would be accepting, but when I quit smoking I badgered my husband nonstop until he did. I don't know if I could handle him eating a steak in front of me when I'm still struggling to be raw. I'm so glad we decided to do this together. Not that I would be mad at him or anything if he wanted a hamburger, but it sure would be hard for me to resist temptation.

I'm a big fan of Souper Salad too. I don't know if that's everywhere, but here in Phoenix they're all over. They have a great salad bar and plenty of fruit. I would go to the breakfast buffet at JB's because they have tons of fruit but I crave all the other bad for me stuff they have there. The smell of cinnamon rolls is just too much for me.

I will mention that when I went off my meds I weaned myself off and my doctor was totally aware that I was doing it. I really didn't think about mentioning that until Simple Living posted about responsibility. Sometimes I'm a little spacey that way. But yeah..it would be irresponsible for me not to mention that.
