At lunch - 2 lbs of bananas (some of which he just eats and sometimes he recommends blending them into "banana milk"

Great idea Claire - weren't you also struggling with 3pm binges? I have, and it might be a signal that I just wasn't eating enough prior to that. We'll see. I would love to start a new thread, or find one already going somewhere. I could have sworn I have seen one somewhere - or maybe I am thinking about people who blog about 80-10-10. I still haven't gotten through the book,but am going to

I went back to that site, and phew, I couldn't really read much. It was so negative, everyone fighting and calling names. Is there a place where people doing 80-10-10 be of support to each other rather than bash each other or the creator? I am wondering if there is a plaec on this site or maybe on dougs actual site, or another site altogether. Bryan are you still following 80-10-10?

Did you get your book Perbetty? I just got mine! I am AMAZED at the amount of food to be eaten on a daily basis. Maybe this is why I have been struggling - I am NOT getting enough food....? I love how he has sample days with sample menus. This is a huge help for me, even though I know that people on this site have recommended using sites to plug in calories, etc. to make sure we are getting

the tomatoes were ripe and perfect to eat. so delicious! But, aren't they so acidic that they could make my mouth break out? Like the acidity of the oranges? I used to be so sensitive that I would eat a bunch of pineapple and end up with a HUGE cold sore on my lip the size of texas. I once had to go to the Emergency room because my lip blew up so enormously that it touched my nose. Why woul

218. Listening to my body
So, I had been craving tomatoes like crazy. I didn't have any, and finally got some the other day. I sat down and ate three the first day, along with brewers yeast, some spike, and then I had a cucumber (duo eating for me ) The second day, still the same thing - craving tomatoes! I had four, and then had a zucchini. All prepared the same - a little spike, and brewers yeast.

I have heard that organic bananas often do not turn yellow (not sure if this is true or not) but that conventional ones always do because of a certain chemical on them.
I do know fm experience that my organic bananas are most times ready to be eaten way before they are yellow. Once mine turn yellow, I have a couple of hours before they start to spot. Definitely interested to know if the che

I still feel like I need more support - like a raw guru living with me for two weeks to help me get on track. I have ED stuff that really gets in the way on my path to raw eating - I know it sounds lame, but the bottom line is that I definitely need more support while starting out. Has anyone else had the same kind of need - someone to talk to during the day about the experiences transtitioning

Totally ridiculous. Of course some people love Pollen - he justifies their way of eating and makes them feel better about something that most people innately know is not "the way." I see my family doing it all the time - justifying WHY they HAVE to eat meat. And, then when a professional backs it up, they think he/she is god. Interesting, but I agree with whoever said it - those are

What I don't understand is how people on this thread can be eating so little and not fading away to nothing! It is truly a whole new way of thinking to me, and like someone else said - almost seems like anorexia! It is so hard to fathom I think because I have dealt with anorexia and for so long was pushed to eat, eat, eat. Kids are waking up - definitely so interesting though.

I think he just meant that it was a good overview of the tools for people who are starting out. I swear once you start using more quality products you just "know" that you are getting quality product. Perspective just happens.

A couple of things -
Where do people go for retreat other than Tree of Life - is there any place? I was wondering the same thing about eating disorder treatement facilities because most places that I have ever heard of require that you eat their food plan - consisting mostly of SAD foods.

The thread I was thinking of was "so confused" I think, although there were others right around that time frame that were going that were really helpful to decide what to buy. For me it was simple once I sifted through the jargon and realized what my own needs were/are. I am eventually going to get a REALlY good juicer, but not for a bit. I am still paying my vitamix off and so far h

I doubt it, they do such different things. Where is baltochef? He is the one that has all the knowledge about it - he helped me tremendously with my purchase of the vitamix. Not sure he even knows that. But there is a thread that he and La_Veronique do a lot of discussing about differences, advantages, disadvantes, prices, etc. That entire thread provides some great insight to the products a

Emiliab - what is the rationale for eating raw for one year before juicing? I can't imagine eating raw without some sort of blend or juice. That is just my preference though, i would love to hear what you think! Veggiefreak

Here are a few that I do on a regular basis:
6-7 pieces kale

1/2 lime with peel
2-3 big handfuls arugula
4-5 leaves of mint
scoop of chia seeds (does anyone else go crazy over chia seeds?)
1 banana
4-5 strawberries unhulled, just thrown in after washing
1/2 head of small cabbage - or a good amount of any other green
Sometimes I soak the chia seeds before I add them so th

236. Re: Quantum Eating
One other question I have though, is why she would suggest eating during the elimination time when many raw foodists say not to eat (morning time until noon). Is it because the elimination period is now not just the morning, but instead the time that the body is fasting? And, in actuality I usually stop eating around six or seven pm, and don't eat again until 11-12, except for a bit of tea or w

Way to go Wy, I am ordering the book myself. I am definitely interested and agree with that you are saying about "food for nutrition" and getting evergy elsewhere. So much emphasis IS placed on food, more than necessary I think. I still question the dry fast - even the notion that I can do it for more than 8-10 hours through the night!
