Mehnoush,
I won't lose weight unless I really watch what I eat AND exercise...every day! For about an hour and a half, cardio and weight lifting. I think my body just adjusts to the decrease in food and I have to exercise to keep it burning the same calories. My theory is that this is an evolutionary skill that my body has developed. I have Scandinavian ancestry and I can't imagine if I was a v

Maybe you could make a sort of raw version of a pbj for next time you crave one! Mush up some fruit, raw nut butter, put it on a raw cracker. Yum.

And eating before you are hungry sure helps avoid cravings, though I am not sure everyone would agree with that way of eating.

I agree, I think when you get to your last 20, 30 lbs you might need to do some calorie restriction but at this point you shouldn't have to worry about it so much as long as the bulk of your foods are fruit and veggies which I am sure they are!

I am posting a picture of my eyes but I've never posted a picture before. Sorry if it doesn't work! My eyes shift colors some time, I don't know much about it. Let me know if any iridology folks can see anything in them.

Thats a good point rost. When I feel good and motivated its easy to go a bit overboard and end up too hungry! Even though raw food is healthy that doesn't mean I can't turn it in to a yo-yo diet! Eeek! Thanks!

67. Re: dandruff
I had dandruff, and no dandruff shampoo (natural or not) worked until I tried this kind from Avalon Organics I think it worked because it doesn't have sodium lauryl sulphate, which many react too. I can use anything without it now, and still don't have dandruff. Nothing else at all worked! Good luck!

I love this idea too! I would put it in a context of building healthy eating habits, building strong healthy bodies for learning and a good future. Talk about it like an "after school special" and you could actually do more radical things.

Maui Butterfly, you are brilliant! These are wonderful ideas for me- I felt like I was at a dead end. Thanks so very much.

Hello, since I became introduced to raw-foodism a couple of years ago I have been going through a pattern that follows something like this: I eat raw food and exercise, and begin to feel good and loose a little weight. (I would like to lose a little weight, about 15 lbs.). Then I become sick, for about a month during which I stop exercising and eating as much raw foods. I still eat healthy, just

I have heard that distilled water removes some minerals from the body. I believe it could be true.

72. Re: Raw Nerve
Hi EZ Rider! I have this problem but it comes and goes. I think there is some sort of energy thing happening with raw food, I don't actually think that super sensitivity is the permanent state (for me at least). I just deal with it while I have it and it tends to go away. I don't actually even avoid the news, because the sad emotional state doesn't really bother me. It kind of feels good to cry a

I have an idea for you that I think would help you, drink more juice! It has a lot of calories and its easier to drink when you are not hungry.

Oh no prob. Incidentally, my homeopath was very supportive of the raw thing as it worked well for me.

Ugg! That is so gross! I wonder if you don't have those kinds of symptoms if it is still a good idea to do a parasite cleanse just to be sure? Because I imagine these remedies are kind of harsh on the body. Even garlic makes my side ache so much its debilitating. I

I think that a lot of times if a stranger just sat down in front of you, that anyone could sort of guess the health problems that they were suffering from. For example....someone hunched over a bit might have back problems, or someone with yellow skin might have liver problems. There are lots of things like this. Our bodies show our diseases in lots of ways.

Hi Denise, yes I have plenty of experience. I'm not sure about stopping taking antibiotics before you are finished...that might be bad (drug-resistant bacteria etc.). Check out the discussion in the health section of this forum

Thanks Therese, Phantom and Maui! You bring up lots of interesting thoughts to me. I think you might be right that feeling the emotions rather than suppressing them is ideal, and maybe this is a more natural state. I actually have occasional problems with migraines that I believe to be a result of suppressed emotions, so maybe my true nature is this outwardly very emotional state. It certainly do

Hello life101, I am curious about your emotional experiences with the tearing up. I sometimes have this problem, well, maybe its not a problem for you but for me it can be inconvenient! For example, sometimes I cannot watch TV or read the newspaper because of this. If I am alone its ok but if I am with others it seems a little too strange.
Do you know what it is or how to deal with it? I have h

You are probably better by now but I used to have this problem a lot and I have figured out how to nip them in the bud. What works for me is that 100% cranberry juice Angie talked about, which IS bitter but cut it at like 1:4 with water (one part juice) and drink it all day. Drink a whole bottle of cranberry juice a day, also take cranberry pills along with it. Maybe a pill per glass. You can dri

Are you healthy in other aspects of your life? I find that if I exercise for more than 90 minutes I am sure to get a cold, it has to do with the stress hormones. Also, plenty of sleep and happiness help!

I am sure your problem is more serious than this, but I just figured out why I am so cold in the day but warm after I've slept. I guess that your body and muscles tense up, preventing heat from leaving your core while you are awake, and you relax at night and the heat comes to your body surface. You mentioned that you had a lot of anxiety, I wonder if that could be related and you are too tense t

I don't have any magic answers, sometimes these things just take a lot more time to heal than we think they should! Suggestions that work for me are eating well, of course, sleeping as much as you can, drinking as much water, herbal tea, juice as you can, getting tons of vitamin C, ginger and garlic, and doing things that are nice and calming. Watching a movie, reading a book, taking a bath. Howe

This is such a nice thread. I think sometimes i like to come on here and read about food everyday because it reinforces what I know to be true. There are conflicting messages out there, as everyone knows I am sure, and I want to keep hearing the raw messages too! However, it does get easy to obsess about food. I also have a tendency to obsess about my health, and imagine that there is something w

I think if you want/need to eat more fruts and veggies but can't afford it this is a problem, maybe add healthy cooked foods until you can afford the raw foods you need to be healthy. I find that I really need to stuff myself to get enough calories to feel good sometimes! Or, maybe play around with more "hearty" raw foods (nuts, oils) and see if that helps. Good luck!

Hello, I am interested in increasing the healthy flora in my body, for a number of reasons. I think that I might have harmed it by stress and coffee, and a bout of bad eating choices. Anyway, one thing that I am curious about is that I have heard that onion and garlic are prebiotics, in that they would help healthy flora grow while killing uneahlthy bacteria. Does anyone know if this is true? How
