Hi I made the transition about a month and a half ago and it has been absolutely wonderful for me.
Before this happened, I made a very slow move into it; I was 50% raw for a year or so falling off the wagon and getting back on over and over again. I have tried macrobiotic diet eating lots of soy products. After a year of eating this way, I realized that my body really liked raw food much more

Wow, thank you everybody! Lots of comments over night.
I am flying from Europe so I will check with the rule before I go.
I am thinking of bringing bananas, apples, dried fruit and nuts. They all sounds good to snack on while on board reading my favorite books!

Honeymoon to India very soon!
I am wondering what to take with me on board.
Since I don't have a dehydrator to make cookies, which would be really nice, I am thinking of brining some fruit and nuts.
Does any one out there have delicious raw snack ideas that doesn't require any dehydration or freezing?
Thank you!

I teach vinyasa flow yoga and Ashtanga yoga in the Netherlands.
The combination of raw food and yoga is powerful and amazing!
I need the energy to teach yoga so this way of eating is really wonderful.
Since I started to eat more raw food combined with yoga practice, I have realized that I am more grounded with the Mother Earth and feel more love within and around me, which feels so warm in the

Thank you guys!
I will tell my friend about it.
coco,
thank you for your advice. I remember your amazing story in the different topic (but related to pregnancy) about your giving birth! I am currently incorporating more and more raw food in my life and it is going well. Someday I want to be a healthy mother like you!

Hello everyone.
I am sure there was a similar topic before but I really wanted to know as soon as possible.
I have a friend who has been trying to get pregnant but no success yet. She is around 35 years old, healthy but skinny. She used to be very sporty and one time she only had 8 % of fat. Now she has more than 8 % but still is very skinny ( to me, at least)

Hi coco,
I know! But this is how Japanese women are taught when they are pregnant. I wonder what kind of other food they eat to keep their weight off.
My question to you; So, my friend was told that eating fruit makes her baby too big when she/he is ready to come out. How was your baby? Did you have a healthy delivery?
I am so anxious to tell my friend that eating fruit is good for the

Good topic! I am not pregnant but my friend is.
She sent me email yesterday saying that being pregnant makes her hungry and she is now under a very strict weight control and that makes her feel like binge-eating. I said to her that maybe she can make sweets out of fruits and nuts (She is not raw or anything). She told me that she is not allowed to eat more than 1 piece of fruit a day because the

Hello, there.
The kale season has kicked in in the Netherlands and I recently discovered that what they sell and eat in winter time here known as boerenkool in Dutch is actually kale in English! I was excited to find that out!
Last week, I bought the organic kale and decided to try my very first kale salad. It was my huge surprise to find there were sooooo many little bugs on the leaves and I

Growing up in Japan, persimmons are my favorite fall fruit. The black spot is no problem. I never eat the skin though. Isn't it a little bitter?
In Japan, we sun dried the astringent persimmon in winter in the very cold winter air. The astringent ones that grow in Japan are too sour and bitter to eat raw so people in old times would dry them. My grandmother used to make them at home and whenev

For hair, I use Weleda rosemary shampoo. Once a week, I use also hair oil from Weleda. My hair shines and is more beautiful than ever! I only wash my hair once every day so that my body can produce natural oil to protect hair.
For body, I wash it only with warm water. Once in a while I use soap free shower gel but I feel pretty clean only with water too.
For face, I use lavera cleansing cr

Hello, everyone.
I have a massive walnut tree in my garden and have already picked thousands of them this year. More are still coming..
Do you have any recipe that uses walnuts?
I have made walnut milk, which is delicious, but personally I don't like the bitter taste of walnuts so much that everytime I make something with walnuts I don't like it.
I don't have a good blender or mixer

I have seen young coconuts at Asian stores but I was worried that they traveled so far (I live in the Netherlands) that they might be heavily pesticide-treated or something. So I never bought ones but I do know that some great recipes use young coconut meat. Are they safe?

17. what to blend
It has been a while since I came to this forum the last time....
I am very slowly incorporating raw food into my life and it has been almost a year! I like cooking or uncooking food in the kitchen but when it comes to raw food, my recipe is still very boring.. And I tend to blame it for the lack of raw food kitchen utilities! So, I made up my mind. I am going to buy vitamix (yes, I don't have it

Thanks for your tips! I don't have a dehydrator so can not make crackers but knowing how to use flaxseed helps me create more raw recipes!

Dear islandgirl,
Yap, I see the picture of the flaxseed coming out of my system as they are ;-)
Thanks for your tips! (Same as sesame seed, I think.)
So, if I soak them, should I dump the water I used for soaking? Or that gooey stuff is good for the body or something?
So many wonders about seeds...

Hi Francis,
Thank! I will be in the North tomorrow anyway and would love to go to the organic market so I will go. Do you know how late the market is open? Do I need to take a tram from the central station?
Will let you know my email address but don't know what's the safest way though..

Hi everyone!
I live in the Netherlands and I recently found out that I can buy flax seeds in the organic store near my house! They are called Lijzaad in Dutch and I have been for a long time wondering what they were. I googled it finally today to find out that they are flax seeds! I am going back to store tomorrow and buy them! They don't have flaxseed oil though...

Deb,
Oh I forgot to write one more thing down for the nut paste. I put maple syrup just a hint and it did a wonder. Now this experience inspired me so I will try other nuts as well.

Thank you for the input! I will remember that! I am also checking your 80-10-10 food diary. Good luck with it and you are truly inspiring!

She was one of the reasons why I got interested in raw food. Look at her! She is radiant and so beautiful from inside out. I recently checked her on you tube too and she is not only beautiful but also humorous.
She is truly an inspiring person, I think.

Deb,
Hi there. Last night I cracked lots of walnuts open and soaked them in water overnight. This morning, I drained the water and put the nuts in the blender and add about 2 cups of water and blend it. Turned out that the walnut milk is delicious! I don't know, this is my very first nut milk so cashew nut or almond might taste better but I am very happy that I tried this out!

Thank you mamadeb!
I still have tons of walnut left to use up before the fall comes.
I will try to make walnut milk to see how it tastes! But, I don't have Vita-mix (I just have a normal pretty weak blender) so I am not sure if I can get any juice out of the nuts.
Thank you!

29. nut milk
Hi there.
I have been wondering... The nuts you can buy at normal organic store... How can I find out that they are raw? If they are not raw (although they look like they haven't been fried or anything), is it still healthy to make nut milk out of nuts that are not for sure raw and drink it instead of soy milk.
I have got a big walnut tree in my garden and I still have tons of them left to

Oh! I was told to do it everyday for at least two weeks!
I always wait for my dairy No 2 before my enema. Is it still not good to do it everyday?
Since it's weekend, I think I will take a rest from enema.

Can you recommend a good book or two regarding colonics? I think I would like to read it myself to learn more.
