Smoothies should help with the sweet tooth.
That is awesome. I wish my mother, age 70, would try raw food. She never sticks to anything long enough to see the results. She bought a Vita Mix and a juicer and probably used them for two weeks. Now she drinks those cans of Ensure and thinks she's eating healthy. LOL

Hello iLIVE,
I'm familiar with beachbody. I do Turbo Jam about 6 times per week. Excellent workouts except for Turbo Sculpt. I didn't find that workout very effective at all.
I've been raw for one year. I love the combination of raw and fitness. I'm looking leaner and with more definition. Most of all, my fitness level has increased.
I wish you the best in your journey.

My daughter suddenly likes foods that she didn't like before. It's weird how your tastes change once you go raw. She hated pineapples and mangoes before and now they are among her favorite foods.
I kept serving my daughter small amounts of the foods she supposedly didn't like and eventually she acquired a big appetite for them. She walks around munching on sprigs of Italian parsley. She

Hi Loretta,
Sorry about losing your brother.
I'm glad you found your way back to raw. Nothing keeps us balanced better than raw food, sunshine, and exercise.
Wow! A whole pint of green juice! What was in it?

I'm impressed too and I'm inspired. Thanks for posting.
I can do 50 very sloppy military style push ups. I'm going to start working on quality instead of quantity. As sloppy as mine are, I've developed some great definition considering I'm 46 and never had much muscle, even in my youth.
So which of those exercises can I do to tighten up my biceps? I love how my triceps and my shoulde

Synthetic hormones, such as birth control pills, can do some strange things. Especially when you discontinue them. I would be concerned with a 3 month long cycle though. Sometimes, spotting like that can be symptomatic of other things, such as an infection. Unfortunately, the only way to know for certain is through a medical exam. It could be your hormones are unbalanced from discontinuing th

Anuiyer,
If you have Comcast Cable, you should be able to get the ON DEMAND workouts through Exercise TV. The workouts vary in length but you can find a lot that are 20 minutes long. Perfect if you're short on time. They have categories for Yoga, Dance, Abs, Toning, etc.
You can find it under: ON DEMAND > SPORTS/FITNESS > EXERCISE TV.

132. Re: ringworm
I had ringworm from rescuing a stray kitten. I got rid of it by applying apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil. I mixed the ACV with a few drops of TTO in a dropper bottle and applied it to my forearm. It burned a little but it stopped the inferno itching. I can handle pain way better than I can an itch.
Supposedly, ACV creates an unfriendly environment for the ringworm and TTO is anti fung

My daughter saw a major improvement in her asthma too since going raw, but, if she exercises when the house is too warm she gets the asthma chest pains. The more greens we keep adding to our diet, the less problems she has with asthma.
Sometimes, the air quality gets so bad it just creates problems regardless of how optimum a persons diet is. Those environmental toxins in the air just wreak

It's been more than a month since I've used any hair products and my hair looks decent. I never did get the extreme greasiness that others have reported at the beginning. I think brushing my hair with a boar bristle brush before I shower has helped remove any excess oils. I can't wait to see what my hair will look like in a year.

My daughter has been struggling with hormonal acne for the past year. Eating 75%/80% raw has helped her hormonal imbalance improve, thus improving her acne.
Many females with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS causes major hormone imbalance), have been able to achieve hormone balance by eating "high" raw. This resulted in their skin clearing as well as restored fertility.

136. Re: Sun and skin
I definitely think that the sun's rays are therapeutic epsecially combined with a raw diet and exercise.
My daughter has always avoided the sun, She never did ANY outdoor activities before raw. In an effort to get her healthy again, I've been making her sit in the sun for 15 minutes daily. Her acne has improved, her skin has a healthy glow, and she reports feeling happier than ever. She

I also agree that bleeding for days at a time is NOT normal. My daughter has always had heavy cycles. After only two months of eating high raw, her cycles went from 6/7 days long to only 3 days. She's hoping to still improve on that and someday be among those raw females that only report a slight discharge.

I've never noticed any discomfort from food combining but my husband does have trouble with this. I guess it just depends on the person. I usually mix cantelope, honeydew, and watermelon with red globe grapes and I don't even burp. LOL

I've been hungrier than usual lately and I'm trying not to fill up on raw almonds. I've discovered how filling and delicious cherries are. I just had a bowl of cherries and it's the most satisfied I've been all week. Good grief, I've been ravenous this week.
I'm starting a 3 day fast tonight at 9:00 pm but until then, I've been eating cherries and green salad. I made a green salad with rom

145. Anxiety
I have not had an anxiety attack since I started eating "high" raw this past July. I have had anxiety disorder since before my teen years and I'm hoping it is gone for good.
Can anyone tell me why a raw diet eliminates anxiety? Maybe an ingredient in processed foods was triggering it? I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, but just curious so I can share with others.

I'm washing with water every day. I think that's why I haven't had any issues with oiliness. I'm also brushing my hair with a boar bristle brush which removes the oils from oilier areas and redistributes it to my much dryer ends.

I was expecting my hair to look oily and gross but yesterday and today, my hair just look healthy and clean.
Does anyone know if boars are killed to make boar bristle brushes or are their bristles just harvested from living boars? I thought they might be like porcupine quills or bird feathers that replenish themselves. I can't find anything on the net about that.
