Day 8 – still going
Visions of cantaloupe were dancing through my head today. I don’t want to juice it, I want to eat it. Perhaps it is time to end the juice fast. I will see how I feel in the morning. I wish the weather was nicer, that would probably change my outlook on everything. Considering that I didn’t plan on juice fasting and also considering that I’ve n

The rest of day 6
Not a great rest of the day. I had a bath late morning and after about 15 minutes of soaking I didn’t feel very good. My ears started ringing, I felt really spacey and nauseous. I managed to get myself to my bed and proceeded to lie there for a while. I felt really weird for about 2 hours. I had little bouts of nausea for the rest of the day. I made

If you mean the packaged hemp milk in a carton - I don't know - It isn't raw. If you think it helps you get to where you want to be then go for it. You can make it yourself though.
I never had a problem with trying to find a substitute for cow's milk - I just eliminated cow's milk from my diet. I decided it was easier to just eliminate the things I felt were not great for me rather than try

It won't help with the crunch factor like a chip does but I like to use salsa as a salad dressing.

I find it easiest to eat a lot of fruits and veggies just as they are. I don't make a lot of recipes - too time consuming and a lot of the ingredients can be expensive - nuts and so forth. The same amount of nuts for a recipe can last me weeks just by eating a few every day or so - you don't need much.
That said, I do have a juicer and do like to use it a lot. I also like using my blender t

Saturday – still at it – day 5
As promised the weather was exceptional. Most of the snow is now melted. I was able to sit outside for half an hour and get some sun. It felt amazing!
I walked to the grocery store and purchased a most lovely pineapple – and it was! I really enjoy pineapple-orange juice in the mornings; I liken it to the ‘nectar of the Gods’.

Thursday – still juice fasting, day 3.
We got a sh*tload of snow today. I mean super duper amounts. If anyone saw Canadian news, Calgary made the headlines.
Things are going well. A few unpleasantries were going on bowel-wise. All kinds of gurgling and I swear if you looked at my stomach it looked like an alien was moving around in there. Wasn’t exactly painful but didn’t feel to

Apparently I’m juicing fasting (feasting). I didn’t plan on it . . . it just seemed to happen.
Last Friday night I had juice for dinner and wasn’t hungry after it which left me pleasantly surprised. Saturday I felt like juicing again so I had juice for breakfast and lunch, decided I was hungry and had a few apples and then had juice for dinner. Same thing happened on Sunday. Monday r

160. Re: Cilantro Pesto
I love this stuff! To Prism's recipe I also add some dulse, use flax or Udo's oil instead of the olive oil and use soaked brazil nuts and sunflower seeds for the 'nut' portion. Yum, yum, yum. I heard that cilantro is good for getting rid of heavy metals like mercury in the body.

I’ve stopped taking on the universe. I just think that some people are way too fixated on the idea of career and money and material things. Not enough time spent on spiritual endeavors. But, I’ve let that go. I’ll concentrate on my own spiritual endeavors. No more anger.
I’m still plugging away. I’ve been through some emotional roller coasters the last few months and I haven’

I make a salad dressing with it. I probably wouldn't eat as many greens if I didn't use the dressing, so for me, for now, it's a keeper.

I too come home from work and immediately get out of my clothes. Nothing like a good pair of flannel jammies, especially with this lovely Canadian winter we've had. I haven't worn earrings in years. I still like to wear a pendant around my neck. Usually some kind of natural stone on a fabric cord. No rings. Don't like wearing watches anymore either.

I can't handle watching the news anymore - depresses the hell out of me - so I don't.
On weekday mornings they give out free newspapers before you get on the train. I take one and do the Sudoku and the crossword on the way to work. That's the extent of my newspaper reading. I wish there was a 'happy newspaper'. One that would only tell you happy things - like Mrs. Beavis' cat had 3 beautif

Maybe not the best approach but I lied to my mother about it. She comes to visit only twice a year. A few years ago she watched me go through hell with arthritis. After researching vegan and raw diets I decided that I had nothing to lose by trying. The next time she came to visit she noticed how much better I was but was really concerned about my food choices. I told her that my doctor told

I have this problem with pineapples and kiwis and such. I now blend them with bananas and eat them as a smoothie. I'm hoping one day to be able to eat them "as is" again.

I am also the proud recipient of a few boils. Annoying and painful, yes. I take them as a good sign that things are cleaning up. I use a little tea tree oil on them. It helps with the pain and inflammation.

I guess I'll be a sporadic poster. . .
Things have been going fairly well since June. I've been high raw since then. I may have cooked veggies or quinoa a few times a week. It's working for me.
I've been calmer. Going with the flow. Nice and mellow. And then it hit about a week and a half ago. ANGER! What the. . .? Where did that come from? I don't know what to do with it. I have

The last couple of weeks I've found that my hands were drying out and cracking, especially the pads of my thumbs. The only thing I've found that seems to be working is to keep my hands dry and and using a good hand cream. This means having to were rubber gloves when I'm preparing fruits and veggies and washing dishes. I hate wearing them because I love to feel what I'm doing but it brought swe

175. Re: green smoothie
For me greens digest really well with anything.
My favorite green smoothie:
1 small banana, 5 strawberries, 1 kiwi, the juice of 1 orange and a very large handful of spinach.
I whirr this up in the blender and eat it from a bowl with a spoon. I love chomping on the strawberry seeds.

Well, it's been five days without a morning coffee. Happily, I never had any side effects from quitting. I was expecting a headache, but then again I had only been drinking it the last few weeks. I haven't been a 'regular' coffee drinker for years. I drink it for a few weeks, stop for a few, start again, etc. Coffee makes me jittery after I've been consuming for a while. I feel much better

We got a composter for the office today, yah! The office is a house. Everyone there eats pretty healthy, but I'm the only vegan. If I ever have to go back to working in an office building, it will be a very hard adjustment. I'm spoiled.

The last few days have gone well. I haven't had a lot of energy in the evenings and find that I pass out way earlier than usual. Healing sleep is good! Today I think I have managed a totally raw day. I juiced some pineapple with an orange; had grapes; two bananas; more grapes and later a handful of hemp hearts. I was already starting to detox. . . I am sporting a few lovely large pimples on

I wasn't overly energetic today, but I did manage to get some house chores done.
I was outside in the flower garden and my daugther commented that "You're always talking to the birds and the flowers. You're weird." I took it as a compliment but I'm not sure that's how she meant it.
Today I had grapes, an apple, a big bowl of spring mix greens and some hemp seeds. Still not much
