Rawdev...thanks for bumping this one forward. I hadn't noticed it before and it surely is entertaining.
When I was a kid, I couldn't stand the taste of eggs. So when my mom made french toast, I'd smother it in peanut butter to hide the egg flavor. I still love peanut butter (now almond butter) on just about anything. One Thanksgiving, I sucked the pimento out of all the olives and put them ba

Thank you Jodi...although I have no idea what you said up there, but the end result is good. I'll copy your directions and try again later with another picture.
I went to the eye doctor today for my check up and new prescription. The doc said my astigmatism has IMPROVED! I said, I didn't know that could happen. I've had glasses since I was 19. It has to be attributed to the raw foods! While th

183. Coffee Alternative
I've been off caffeine for a year now and off decaf coffee since I went raw two and a half months ago. I don't know if I just miss holding the warm cup or what...and I'm thinking the winter time is going to be a challenge for me. Do any of you have a coffee alternative? I know the health food store sells something...I haven't really looked at it. I'm not much of a tea fan, but was thinking there

Day 7...I made it one week, 100% and surpassed my previous goal. YEAH! My weight loss for the week was 3.4 lbs which was great. I've noticed that my the longer into the week I went the slower my weight loss got and I didn't lose any since yesterday. It makes me wonder if perhaps I'm not eating enough and my body is hanging onto the weight. I just haven't been very hungry. I will feel hungry and t

Good Morning Pam, I'm sorry you're feeling depressed. I have struggled with depression for most of my life. Mine is a chemical imbalance and doesn't really have anything to do with circumstances. For the last 5 years I have taken 5-HTP which helps tremendously. It is a natural supplement made from a griffonia bean. It probably isn't raw, but without it, I can't function. I have tried going off of

I am also new (9 weeks raw) and I also take a vit/min supplement + extra Calcium/mag for the same peace of mind that Dewey mentioned. I actually calculated all the nutritional info into fitday and with it, I meet all of my nutritional needs for the day. Having a healthy lifestyle includes doing what is best for your body's needs and for me, that is what is best. I know some say they can get ever

I can see it now...Betty's Raw Adventures in Paradise. Make sure when you advertise, you emphasize that it is raw FOOD not just raw...you might end up with a bunch of nudists! You make it sound so wonderful and inviting. I would love to participate...but
Next summer I (hopefully) will be moving from CA to SC to begin a PhD program. Moving my family across the country I'm sure will wipe out the

196. Re: 2 more questions
In my opinion the hemp protein is good stuff...cold pressed...cold milled and organic. In fact, I just bought some, but haven't used it yet. None of the nutrients are lost in how it is prepared. (Heat destroys the natural enzymes and nutrients in foods and causes the internal chemistry of the food to change, thus making it less beneficial and in some cases even harmful)

197. Re: Bread
Hi Shubby...welcome! I think you are closer to being raw than you think. Most people start out slowly by adding more fruits and veggies into their diet...you are already doing that. I was a carb-a-holic so I can relate to how you feel about giving them up. Honestly, I still miss them but have made a decision to omit them because I feel so much better without them. When I first decided to go raw,

Leonie...I haven't checked this thread in a while. Sorry for the late response. What I've noticed with being 100% is that my pain level is tremendously reduced as is my mental / emotional outlook. Of all the diets / lifestyles I tried over the years, it makes me feel the best and for that reason, it is certainly worth pursuing!

200. Re: Raw Dog Food?
I have the same question. I just logged on here for the first time. Can you buy raw dog food or do you guys make it for your pets? My dalmation is 10 years old so I'm wondering what changing her diet NOW would do to her.

Thanks Pam...
I believe in miracles! I've had them happen in my life so I know they can happen for others. I have a strong personal belief in Jesus Christ and believe that with God, all things are possible!
Day 6 and I feel really good today. My weight was down again .4, which with all the flax seed I ate yesterday, I am happy with that. I ate some raw edemame beans last night and they made

pampam...what weight loss group do you attend? I still attend weight watchers even though I am not really following their plan completely. They do have one called the core plan that allows you to eat all the fruits and vegetables you want (in addition to whole wheat pasta and some milk products) but I just "say" that I'm following the core plan, even though I don't do anything but the f

203. Re: I need help
Yes, I agree with the above posts. Go slowly and allow your body and your taste buds time to adjust. One of the keys for me has been only eating things I like. I don't especially like vegetables or even salads so I stick more to fruits and nuts. I'll have a banana with some almond butter on it. When I first started on raw, I would have a fruit smoothie in the morning with all fruits that I really

Day 5 today...still totally 100% raw. Looking back over the past 2 months, I would say that staying 100% this time (so far)is much easier than being any percentage less than that. Previously when I ate even a little cooked food I was fighting cravings and felt hungry / deprived all the time. I just haven't experienced it this time around. It feels so good and so far, I haven't been tempted to eat

Yeah...a natural blonde...and all the blonde jokes that go with it. One time I put two contacts in the same eye, but didn't know it and took the sink apart looking for my new contact lense which I hopelessly couldn't find. So after putting the sink pipes back together I resolved to take out the one contact only to find the other one there too. I once sat in line at a drive thru teller only to rea

My lifestyle right now (full time grad student...homeschooling mom) doesn't really allow for a lot of friends, although I know a lot of people, there are only a few people close to me due to time restraints. I have a walking buddy who just told me today that she wishes she could do what I am doing...but then our time together is never spent around food. My family is who I mostly eat with or aroun

Welcome Custom...I love your aka! So you're a cowgirl. That would have made a cut screen name too. I moved to CA from Kansas where my best friend and her family are farmers, including cattle. Even though she's my best friend, there is NO WAY she will ever understand my going raw. So I just say I'm eating more healthy food choices and leave it at that. You can come out of the closet... a lot of us
