thanks for opening this discussion!
i ate a high percentage of raw foods right before i met my partner - so did he. the first meal he made me was zucchini noodles with raw pesto but from there it was a downward spiral - heavy, cooked vegetarian foods and lots of drinking.
in any case, we got pregnant 4 years later by surprise. he was disappointed that he wasn't in optimal health when we co

i may have one...its slightly damaged - well the text is fine but it was in a package with raw cacao spread and now its dirty on the edges and some of the index...but if you want it let me know.

ive noticed since going *mostly* raw 3 months ago, the horrible and intense sadness i used to get right before my period AND before i ovulated are reduced to a light feeling under the weather. just wanted to add that.

i have a question about poo too- i just went 90% raw about 3 months ago. i ate pretty clean for a cooked person - mostly vegetarian (hardly any dairy)...just lots of grains, eggs and some fish with my veggies. anyway...since getting my second colonic 2 weeks ago my gas is more intense, and i feel bloated and crampy. COULD THIS BE detox/??? the only thing that "clears me out" is Manna B

A lot of raw foodists agree that one of the worst kinds of food you can eat is processed flours/grains. Those that offer an Intermediate Diet talk about sprouted grain breads such as manna bread, ezekiel breads, etc...
my question:
ive been coming up with new recipes for cookies and burgers, and i love to soak, sprout and dehydrate buckwheat and oats...would it be bad to pulverize/grind the

i've been trying to figure out what the ideal breakfast is...smoothie with some greens, superfoods and fruit, or green juice? i know its a personal choice, and one is obviously more complex (in terms of digestion)...also, i know some raw eaters are really into green juices - if you are one of them, do you ever add anything else? apple, carrot, beet, etc? is there a benefit to keeping it 100% gree

I started eating 85-90% raw about 3 weeks ago. i just noticed dark purplish circles under my eyes which ive never had before. what could i be deficient in?
as for supplements; i take:
-blue-green algae
-MSM
-Vegan DHA
-siblingual B12
i did some online research and came up with 2 possibilities: iron or vitamin K. i tend to think its not iron (anemia) because i feel like i have a good am

no, i just want one of them. i have to employ superfoods as i dont have the time, resources or access to the optimal foods at all times.

i just bought Klamath Blue-Green Algae from power organics b/c it was at my co-op. ive been hearing some about crystal and blue manna from various raw websites. arent these the same thing? are the mannas superior to the power organics brand?
also, if someone could comment on e3live in relation to using a powder, that would be great. thanks!

another raw question added on: ive begun to sprout mung, and the sprouts all turned pinkish. does this mean they went bad?

i personally would continue eating mostly raw with some cooked foods - i dont think i could have made it through my pregnancy w/o omega 3's and DHA( i did use fish oils) ...but you can get those in vegan supplements. you should see if you can talk to shazzie - she went cooked vegan for her pregnancy and then went back to raw at some point.
it seems to me its more important to have a healthy b

i've been napping since going about 90% raw a few weeks ago - and i never ever could nap before!! it feels good to nap. i do think my body needs it, and i believe that it is a symptom of detox. seems like eating the cooked carbs may prevent the detox from happening, thus making you feel better.
i agree with someone else about doing a smoothie - packed with lots of fruits, greens and superfoods

i've been feeling cloudy lately. also my eyes feel cloudy. this makes raw eating very challenging. my kitchen is always a mess because i feel mentally dull, not inspired to clean it. its been about a week or more since going 90% raw with one serving of rice or quinoa a day.
can i be that toxic?
my son also developed a few little acne pimples on his face. could this be from my detox??

i do appreciate my partner. yesterday when he came to trays of freshly dehydrated flax crackers, he said "this is what i've always wanted. someone who makes me raw food." some setbacks (for him) have been that *I* have brought home buttery cookies and muffins which i was given, and of course didnt eat them so he ate them. i hope he's feeling ok.
today is day 4 and im just ok. this is

i am a nursing mom of a 22 month old boy. ive wanted to go raw AGAIN since ive been pregnant, and was hesitant b/c of detox in breastmilk. i recently read this on shazzies site:

i want to be cleaning the house as much as i'm cleaning my body, but i dont have much energy. i dont feel washed out, just mellow like i want to sit or maybe nap.
2 nights ago i had weird dreams and i knew in my sleep that i was detoxing. it was uncomfortable.
my partner has been really cool about the whole thing. he's been into eating whatever i am, and supplementing with whatever he norm

thank you both meow and happyvegan for sharing. i feel like i have more clarity each day as to what this will look like.
the very first time i ate raw, i was living with a man who was actually really a negative, messed up person. the only positive thing that came out of that relationship was that he introduced me to raw foods. we both went 100% raw for only about a month - we ate a huge salad

Good stuff:
- my son LOVES green things! ive heard some babies avoid green things but not my little guy. i always put leafy greens into his juices, vitamineral green into his smoothies and spirulina into his store-bought juice. i am able to sneak spinach into his scrambled egg but we will need to find another vehicle. he wont eat greens straight but i know its be

I am a mom of a 22 month old boy. Years ago, i ate about 85% raw and loved it. I fell off the wagon, wanted to do the Master Cleanse and found out i was pregnant. I ate vegetarian through the pregnancy.
So ive basically been putting off transitioning raw until i stop breastfeeding (which i wont be doing any time soon, since i plan to breastfeed for a long time!). Right before New Years, I rea
