Yes sauerkraut with beets is very common and popular in some parts of the world. Sometimes they differ from traditional shredded kraut by fermenting the cabbage in large chunks. So you basically put layers large chunks of cabbage, then few slices of beets, then cabbage again, then beets, then cabbage.. Then pour salty water over the whole thing, put a plate on top and press with something heavy.

545. Re: dehydrating
I was also wondering, we have a fan assisted oven - the fan is positioned right in the middle of the back wall of the oven, essentially blowing air to the front. Would this work well as a dehydrator? My worry is the lowest temperature is 50C, but considering the door will be fully open, do you think it might still be ok?

I quit smoking by giving myself a little pep talk. There was something I was working on at the time and really really wanted to achieve, so I said to myself, "if you stop smoking now and don't touch cigarettes at all, you will achieve it. And if you do touch a cigarette, you will not achieve it!"
Absolutely ridiculous, but it worked. Whenever I was tempted to smoke again I remembered

You're very welcome gems, I too find it helpful reading about other people experiences when they try to overcome similar problems to mine! I totally agree every person is different, so we need to search for our own approaches, what works best for one may not be the same for the other!

Personally for us the issue with bread is the same as with all other baked and fried starchy foods (that is high temperature cooked starchy foods) - in the process of cooking they develop acrylamide, and it s a carcinogen, reference

551. Re: Protein
Most important thing about protein is that it must be complete and balanced, which means you need to be getting all essential amino acids in balanced proportion.
This is the problem for vegans because there are very few foods which are the source of complete protein, most of the time you have to combine different foods in order to get all amino acids in right proportions. By contrast non-vega

To be honest I wouldn't, perhaps not all but some goodies will be lost that way! I also do smothies just for myself, but don't have any leftovers - I mean if you made too much today, just use smaller proportions tomorrow and the problem should be no more?

I also have one non-raw and non-vegan sin.... Boiled and mashed potatoes mixed with few steamed prawns, and tiny bit of olive oil. Weird combination, but I love it and it's the only thing I miss since becoming raw and so I decided it'll be my secret.

No not at all! I must have sounded aggressive, but I didn't mean to. It's just worrying that there are so many examples when people start following an idea and forget to think for themselves at all, with disastrous results. Like they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions!

No I haven't suffered from heavy metal poisoning, but in which way is this relevant to my comment?
My comment was merely asking whether OP has suffered heavy metal poisoning, and the reason for this question was the not infrequent use of DMSA or other medications by people who do not suffer from heavy metal poisoning but merely strive to be 'healthier'.

Do you have any particular poisoning which would warrant the use of DMSA? There isn't much info but standard wiki article on chelation terapy references 2007 study according to which giving DMSA to rats without high levels of metal poisoning may cause lasting cognitive damage. Would such risk qualify as relatively safe? I don't know. But I can't help but thinking that sometimes people become so o

Doubt the pizza would just go the other end - i think it'll get absorbed just as much without enzymes it will only take longer.
One thing is I wouldnt sprinkle enzymes on your pizza, unless you plan to swallow the pizza without chewing. Enzymes have protective coating to help them avoid stomach acid and get to intestines where they do their work; if you chew them you risk breaking that protect

Go for a run? Find yourself a person to spend the energy with? Or if the age/health restricts you, find yourself a hobby that you like, and unspent energy will go there.
Personally I find my day very full, I have to think to make time for things I want to do, because there isn't enough in 24hours! Because of this the energy is rarely a problem. The only time I notice I become restless is on

561. Re: Here we go again
Because you have so much weight to lose, I believe one way is to start looking at the physical amount of food you put in your stomach. Once your stomach is back to a manageable size (they say a one-time food intake should not be more than what you can fit in your hands cupped together), it will be easier not to overeat, and yes you can overeat on raw healthy food just like on everything else.

Just be very strong about salt, don't allow yourself even a tiny bit, because otherwise the craving will never stop. But if you are patient it really will stop, forever!

One thing which definitely helped with my digestion problems (doctors thought I had gerd but I'm not sure, however I used to get tummy pain every time I ate something, and felt better when i was fasting, so quite similar to yours!) - was controlling the amount of food I ate during one intake of meal, and amount of meals throughout the day.

I go raw 1)because it seems silly to destroy various nutrients contained in the food by cooking, only for the sake of cooking. (It's like taking a vitamin/mineral pill, and throwing out 1/3, half, or most of it's contents before consuming the pill. Why would anyone do it?) And 2)because it feels and partly because of this tastes better to eat food in it's natural state. This is also the reason I

I think water fasts are very beneficial if you do it right, and in order to do it right you need to know exactly what is happening inside your body, which at the very least includes knowing the amount of nutrients your get with your diet overall. Other important thing is knowing your body fat percentage. And of course your personal conditions if you have any, as there are contraindications to fas

The only grief I have is celery - I haven't been raw for long so haven't tried many recipes, but ones I did celery was very stinky in the smoothie. So for now I just put it in salads.
