think about a small young apple, barely formed--compared to a large ripe apple weighing close to a pound! do you think these have the same calorie/nutrition content?

I have stretch marks from growing fast when I was in junior high. They have faded over the years, but not noticably since going raw (7-8 months ago). I think time is more of a healing factor there.

124. Re: fruit question
this used to happen to me with watermelons first thing in the morning.
Now I do oil pulling upon waking--so I'm less inclined to dive in without thoughtfulness. A friend told me that the seedless varieties may be doing it--because their sugar has been altered.
I used to believe that it was good to eat first thing in the morning, to get things moving. But now I'm doing much better by oil

I ate a lot of cacao nibs early on. But I eventually stopped caring about chocolate. I say get some raw chocolate. who cares if it goes against some peoples' raw ideal--if it keeps you from quitting raw altogether, it would be a GOOD thing ay?

126. Re: oil pulling
I've been doing it for a week and a half. I use sunflower oil, but sesame is supposed to be really good for your skin. I haven't noticed any of the benefits yet. But, it doesn't help me slow down a little in the morning. I would normally rush to drink as much water as I can, eat something, dress, gather my books and rush off the the subway. When I do the oil pulling, I find I am more thought

What is happening--when I bite into an apple sometimes, and there are these dappled pockets of clear areas in the fruit? do you know what I'm speaking of? They are still crunchy; it isn't a bruise, and they seem to taste alright. Just the whiteness is gone from them.

I used to live with a guy, who went veggie when we moved in together, (he swore it wasn't a compromise, it was an improvement). With me in the kitchen, he was nearly vegan. And without either of us trying to be, we were close to 80% raw. When I left in December, he stayed veggie except when he would see his parents every few months. Then he was seeing a girl who was not veggie, so he slipped

If you look for the nutrition facts of watermelon seeds through a search, you'll find that it has a lot of fiber, protein, and considerable fat content--very similar to the makeup of most nuts and seeds. I used to buy licorice watermelon seeds from a chinese market in Portland OR. so much chewing.

ambaryarena--that's funny, I was monoing apples since Monday too! I did this for about 8 or 9 days at the beginning of September too. And now that I'm thinking of it, I did a cleanse at the beggining of August...I wonder if I'm doing these hyper-clean 'vacations' right as I'm about to get my period (which is back after a 3-4 month hiatus, I might add). I, like Lee_123, did it partly to save mo

134. Re: durian
I had one a few weeks ago and loved it to death. I ate half that night, and the rest in the morning. But immediately afterward, the smell and aftertaste made me a little ill.
I bought one again this past weekend--a friend was in town, and he NEEDED to try it. I ate about a see and a half and loved it again. Then, neither of us could even stand the thought of having it in the fridge.

I have felt very aware/awake on raw.
but now, I'm noticing more immediately when a situation, or certain company is giving me negative feelings. I tend to think that being raw doesn't necessarily leave you elated, but rather, more in tune with your reactions and perceptions.

friends have given me raw chocolate--I don't buy it because of the cost.
oh yes. and it's terrible. it never melts into your tongue--just gets chewed up and tastes like eating wax.
cacao nibs taste good to me. nutty and intensely cocoa. not sweet, but still satisfying.
If you're dying for chocolate, and more prepared/processed raw foods are okay to you (not passing judgement...just clarifyi

137. Re: female question?
I've been raw for 6-7 months now. I stopped menstruating about 4 months into it, then got it again last month. It was brief and painless. If I get it on time this month, I should have PMS right now--I wonder if I'm just tired and under pressure, or if I really am feeling the symptoms. Either way, I have been craving bananas madly, and I'm normally not so into them. Other than that--dandelion

I think you'll get more sensitive to certain combinations the longer you're raw. At first, I ate so much onion and garlic, and now the strength is too much.
also, I ate tomatoes constantly and with everything. Now I can really only eat them by themselves--same with grapes.
Melons are tough for me--but I can't resist! Someone told me it had to do with metabolizing

hey. I lived in LA for a few months this summer.
"Cru" in Sunset Junction (Silverlake area) was very good, and not too expensive. Their icecream is deadly excellent (don't bother with the brownie sundae, I'd get three scoops of three different flavors.)
The Hollywood farmer's market on Sunday morning is fantastic--so big, so many sellers, so many SAMPLES. that was my breakfas

I'm nearly 100% raw, and last night, I had several vivid vivid dreams. the last one was full of anger (toward my brother, whom I am incredibly close to), which was upsetting, but vivid nonetheless. I hadn't dreamed as memorably as I used to, since I went raw early this spring. But this week, I began taking a multivitamin, and a vegetarian EFA (essential fatty acid) capsule. I was concerned ab

I worked at the Blossoming Lotus in Portland Oregon for a little while (vegan + raw options restaurant). Great People. But half of them were overweight. And only two or three were the glowing toned image I'd have expected of the lifestyle. we made raw fudge, raw pies, raw iceKream, raw cookies, nut pates, oily guac, etc. If I were living on those foods?

hey. I spent three months living in LA (may-june-july). and I went to the hollywood farmer's market every sunday. I was able to purchase (most of) what I needed for the week, for around 20-30 dollars. granted, I didn't ask each farmer whether his produce was organic. But I would have to say, that's close to what I spent per week as an undergrad--living on tuna, skippy super-chunky, and canne
