My daughter and I recently went 100% raw. Thus far, her behaviour has moderated, crankiness has diminished, whining is slowly disappearing. She doesn't get upset if dinner is late. She absolutely relishes eating uncooked food. She is four. Her new favorite food is young coconut. I got permission from her pediatrician before I changed her diet.
The baby is raw, too. At six months, she is eager

33. Re: loose weight
The truth is, the best way to lose weight is to stop eating so much. I suggest you start by drinking water instead of calorie rich juice. If you're getting enough vitamins and minerals from your salads you won't need the concentrated nutrition of juice. And then try eating two salads and not three. Overeating is a problem for me, too.
Some stratagies I use to prevent overeating:

34. Re: loose weight
Since you asked, and I have had great success with weight loss, I shall answer.
Greenfood.
To lose weight healthfully on raw vegan, please emphasize greens!! Eat salads twice a day and drink green smoothies. Juice kale, parsley, collards, etc. Start your own sprout growing operation. Make a tasty batch of raw sauerkraut. Toss some wakame onto your salad. Also, cut back on calorie dense food

35. Re: Raw Baby
Thanks for all the ideas!!! It's good to know that I am not the first to go here with my kids. I love the idea of blending fruit and giving baby green smoothies. I will endeavour to be more creative with the baby food. Soft pears next!
As for losing weight rapidly: yes, I am overweight. Quite a bit. Husband made me eat cooked while pregnant and I'm just getting back into raw now. Last time I a

36. Raw Baby
My baby is 5 months old and eager to start eating "real" food. This week I started her on banana and she is coping well, swallowing properly, and even feeds herself with the spoon! I've got a couple of avocados ripening for her to sample next.
Has anyone here raised raw vegan kids? Where do I go after banana and avocado? What kind of texture do you add and when? Can someone tell me

There is one other possibility: perhaps you have an enamel disorder. My husband takes fastidious care of his teeth, but they have been literally crumbling for years and they all need to be pulled and replaced. He's not doing anything wrong, it's just genetic. His father lost all his teeth before he was twenty years old because of this and hubby is happy to have about half of his left at forty!

I had the worst sugar craving the other day and found that the only help for it was the water and meat of a fresh, young coconut.
Mmmmm....divine.

Tried it.
Loved it.
Recommend it.
(With the one difference that I mixed the "butter" onto the cauliflower with my hands so the oil would melt and spread around better.)

Greetings!
I first started being raw on November 7, 2007. I stayed raw for over nine months, when a health issue and a husband paranoid about my new pregnancy forced me back to cooked food. I had a very difficult pregnancy, and ended up gaining 100 pounds.
In the very early morning on June 2, I lifted my baby out of her bassinet to nurse and my back completely gave out on me. I'm talking su

The sources of fat that I was having trouble digesting were....everything. Nuts, avocado, EVOO, flax, you name it. A small handful of pine nuts put me in the hospital last spring. All of it caused me pain, even in the smallest quantities. This is why I lived mainly on watermelon and other fruits for 6 weeks.
The reason that I can gain weight while pregnant is because the doctor has me on 150mg

Sundancer: Thank you for your wisdom. I can see that I need to do a little more research, and I'll start by finding the answers to your questions.
I am 5'8", and I don't do pregnancy well at all. With my first, I gained 80 pounds and I'm looking to end this pregnancy the same way. I do know from past experience that it comes off fairly quickly. I nursed my daughter until she naturally wea

It will be very low calorie simply because of the difference in what I'll eat then and what my husband feeds me now. Also, I cannot have large amounts of fats (almost none) because of a digestive issue that started when I was raw last time. I am on medication for it right now, but I'd rather quit taking it. If I do not take it, I get very bad abdominal cramps and a huge amount of pain, sometimes

My family (in-laws included) refuses to interfere, even when I beg for advice. And so I beg all of you. Please advise.
I was raw vegan for almost a year before getting pregnant. My husband made me start eating cooked food during pregnancy because I had such aversions to veggies, and was losing too much weight living on just fruit. I have officially gained too much weight eating cooked again. I

My favorite green smoothie is persimmons and spinach. Just add enough water to blend, and make sure the persimmons are very ripe.

47. Re: Facial scrub
I used to be BIG into natural and homemade beauty products. I even wrote my own book.
The easiest, and cheapest, facial scrub I've found is from India - chick pea flour. Put some in a spice jar to keep in your bathroom. When you wash, use about a teaspoon mixed with enough water (some use rose water) to make a smooth paste. Use as you would any facial scrub, and be sure to rinse thoroughly. I

I remember loeve reading some of my last posts and all the health issues I've been having.... Now they are starting to resolve (at last!).
And a new can of worms has been opened for me. I just found out about two weeks ago that I am pregnant!! We are happy and excited. Peter (who becomes my husband this Saturday the 26th) told his mother the best thing I've ever heard: "The baby was plann

I haven't been about to eat much else but fruit for a couple of weeks, due to various medical issues, but I got so hungry on the way home last night that I had to invent some "real" food to eat. I am a professional cook by trade (although recently turned school bus driver), so while my fiance was driving I made this fantastic dish in my head and threw it together the minute I got home.

According to what I've learned, because tomatoes and cukes (along with avocado and bell pepper) are botanically classified as fruit (fruit-vegetables, if you prefer) they can be combined with any kind of sweet fruit without adverse digestive distress. However, if you're eating melon, please eat if alone, and before any other fruit. It's the fastest digesting food on the planet and you wouldn't wa

So you want to know a little more, Loeve?
Well, the doctor sent me for a first round of testing - bloodwork and an ultrasound - and nothing turned up. She's sending me for a barium swallow next. Not entirely sure I want her to find something (just more medical intervention for me to loathe). I've also been avoiding taking the prescription of Prevacid that she told me to "try." I real

54. Body Attack!
Hi all! I'm new to this website, but have been raw since November 7, 2007. I've only ever heard about the benefits of being raw and there came a time when I just got so disgusted with eating meat and cooked food that I made the leap to raw cold turkey and haven't "cheated" even once since.
That being said, I have been having increasing health issues and wonder if they are in any way
