the greens in my DH were organic, surprisingly! i live in Santa cruz though so people are generally a bit more cautious.. (on that same note, a "restaurant" just opened on campus that is mostly local grown organic foods)
take raw snacks for between meals/classes: almonds, fruit from the DH (remember to wash! / might get boring sometimes.. they usually only have like oranges, apples

experiment with recipes!!
lately i've been experimenting with raw recipes and they are turning out DELICIOUS!! i make something new every night and i can't believe how simple yet utterly delicious and HEALTHY the food is. it's encourages me and keeps me going to know that you to sacrifice as much as you think- flavor, fullness etc. it's also really really fun!! if there is something cooked

6. Re: binges
another thing i've tried...
i tell myself to curb snacking at night before i go to bed and to curb those midnight cravings for something sweet/fatty, i tell myself (just for now as i'm still transitioning to raw) to eat whatever i want up until 730pm or so. after that, i brush my teeth and if i get "hungry", drink water.
a good snack that i love is cut up slices of banana and alm

if you're craving fats/calories, try eating more avocado (MMMM), nuts, hemp seeds ..
i've had some cravings and major temptations (my mom held a going away party for me the other night and there were cookies, cakes etc which i love) but i always feel heavy/bloated after i eat these things, unlike the happy,light,healthy feelings i get after eating raw/living foods there are a lot of raw foods

11. Re: Dehydrators
part of your decision might be based on how much stuff you plan on dehydrating at once and for how many people. if there is mainly one with a good possibility of another eating the dehydrated foods, maybe a 5-tray is a good starting point?
you can still make breads in a 4-tray as you don't need to use all trays at once. for instance, you could just put in 1 or 2 trays if the food you're de

i've never felt the tingling while i try to fall asleep so i can't help you with that but for the jolting business...happens to me occasionally. sometimes when i first start falling asleep and entering my dreamstate, i'll wake up with a jolt. the image of getting your balls kicked might've set something off in your brain/body which caused you to wake up with the jolt, similar to when you need t

it's actually 2 tsp per quart (about the same as a liter). i don't know why i typed 1/2..maybe my unconscious wish for it to be less! anyway, while on the cleanse i added 1 tsp per 16 oz and even that was harsh.
my question still stands with an edited number.

good question...i'm going to have to keep looking back at this thread as i'll be in italy for 3 weeks this summer!
you can probably do a search for health food stores in those cities and buy fresh greens and fruits at the supermarket...although i have no idea how available organic produce will be..
as a backup, i'd take some nuts, seeds, lara bars or something similar with you... i also lik
