Im still doing well even tho I had turkey mashed taters and corn, chocolate pie for Thanksgiving at my son's house. Im not going to be 100% and dont really want to be yet, I was getting bored with eating cold food all the time. As long as I stay eating healthy, whether its steamed veggies or some cooked farro, Im going to stay committed to this no matter what. I feel good when I eat raw, and I wa

Rocketship, that would be a jerk wouldnt it? I dont think I would have refused the job if I was really offered it after taking another test, but they havent called so Im pretty sure hired someone else. Oh well, its ok. LIfe101, you didnt use the potty since you got up before the test????? There is no way I could wait even till 8 am to use the potty, altho' when I went when I got up it wasnt dilu

Hi Cyclopsicle! I have read you shouldnt eat the stems of kale and collard greens, is this true and if so that could be it, b/c I ate the stem of both of them in one smoothie. Havent had any since and Ive been great. I do eat my Farro cooked, I tried soaking it and it just didnt get it. I feel the same way, I still have yogurt, but really that is the only things Ive had but Im going to keep an op

I like this thread too, the food is simple, which is what Im searching for, I keep looking in my new raw recipe books and most have tons of ingredients, most of which I dont have or maybe cant even get/find. I really wish I wouldnt have to bother eating at all, take a pill or something, I dont like having to be bothered but my stomach beckons me to give it some attention! SO, my search for simple

Yesterday I apparently made a bad choice b/c I made a smoothie that tore up my stomoch. Collard greens, large leaf of Kale, papaya, rasberries, almond milk, I think it may be the kale but got a stomach ache after I drank it and then after all day of an awful pain I threw it all up which didnt seem to help ALOT but some. Im water fasting today with detox symptoms, achy, tired, laying on the couch

They wouldnt do that, they balked at even thinking of paying for a 3rd, that is why I said I would pay for it. Im still in awe of the whole experience, never in a million years would I have thought Id fail the drug test, well, 20 yrs ago I definetely would have, but we wont go there! ) Im moving on and looking forward to the next one where i will pray for a blood test instead of urine.

Ive been wanting to get a Kangen machine but cant do it right at the moment, Ive read about alkalizing drops to add to filtered water to make it alkaline water but is it good and does it work? The green smoothie girl on the youtubevids states in her site that she did the drops before she got her machine she has, anyone have any knowledge about this youd like to share?

Today was good, spent the day running around thrift shopping and checking out the health food and asian markets. Couldnt find any young coconuts, dang, but did find some unsweetened shredded so that's good. Not raw probably, but better than nothing. Ate at a great salad bar, then came home and rewatched the sprouting youtube videos and started my mung beans soaking and almonds. Dehydrator should

Thanks for all your support everyone! The lady was supposed to call HQ and find out what to do b/c they havent ever had anyone have a need for a 3rd test. When she calls me back, if she does, im going to tell her Ive spoken with my attorney AND my Dr to discuss this but Im not going to push it further b/c the job doesnt pay enough for me to even bother. I would like to exonerate (is that how you

Made some ginger salad dressing today that is awesome, tangy, but awesome. I ate a big bowl of onions and cucumbers with that on it and was still hungry and I had a salad with my normal stuff in it and Im still not filled up. I'll get out the celery and almond butter next. Im a little afraid to keep going knowing that another drug test is going to be in my future when I get another interview call

THanks Cyclopsicle, I do a smoothie for breakfast almost every morning, but I tend to do the same thing almost every time. I get the big bag of frozen fruit, mixed fruit, and add a handful of organic spring mix or spinach, some ground flax, hemp protien, almond milk ( its not raw tho) its good but I do need to mix it up a bit for different flavor and nutrition values. Was the avocado and ACV and

Bad day altogether, as stated in my other post about failing my pre-employment drug test because my urine was too diluted, it was just a bad day. I went to Burger King with my son and had a Jr Whopper and fries, it wasnt near as good as I was expecting. Only had 1/2 the fries and threw the rest away. Went to my local "Earthfare" grocery store and thought for sure they'd have the raw soy

Well her office is right next to my would have been boss's office so its not like I wouldnt see her often. The more I think about it I would like to prove my "cleanliness" and then tell them Im just not interested in working there anymore. So how is everyone else's urine as you eat raw?? Is it diluted too? IS this normal? My friend that is doing it along with me says her's isnt necessar

Well, Im not sure I want the job anymore if they are going to be such a pain to start with.If I get a lawyer and win I"ll be labeled for life on the job so I cant win. Im sure there is something else that is going to come along, I am waiting to hear back from the hospital, Im a CNA (nurse asst) hopefully THEY will know the difference between a pothead and someone who eats healthy. shesh.

Ok, this is rediculous but true. I interviewed for a job and got it but had to take the pee test for drugs and the 1st one came back too diluted so they made me take it again. I drank 2 cups of coffee before the test in the morning, nothing else, and it STILL came back too diluted. Needless to say I found out today that they cant hire me b/c I "failed" the drug test! I told them I eat r

Im finding soaked almonds dont make such good almond butter as when i made it with unsoaked almonds, I only added a tad of coconut oil to it to hopefully thin it down but it didnt help. I soaked a bag of almonds about 4 days ago and stuck them in the fridge so now I think they are too old maybe to make butter with? I hate wasting stuff. Ill have to soak some then make the butter right away and se

Ive been doing good for about 5 days now, not long but long enough to struggle a bit about not waning to be hungry all the time! I havent been eating all that bad for years but there are times when a pizza or wings and such gets in there and I"ll feel bad for days, just tired and icky feeling but I do love salads and eat them regularly, soup, just not enough raw in my old way of eating.

I have a raw food cookbook (Rawsome) that I tried a salad recipe of either kale or collard greens, store didnt have any kale so I got the collard greens, but the dressing was just olive oil and some
