I've had such an interesting and growth focused month. It seems to work like that for me...plateaus followed by powerful times of intense growth.
My 15-yo daughter is responding to the way I have become so much more gentle and peaceful. She is moody and difficult because she is quitting smoking,but she is quitting because she sees me making positive changes for my well-being and wants to feel

Today I have been so worried about my missing daughter; I haven't been hungry at all, even though I spent much of my afternoon fixing food for the upcoming week. Saturday is my "prep" day so that I have grab 'n go food for the work week. I made flax crackers and they are in the dehydrator while I'm at work tonight. I also made some almond-sesame milk and used the pulp to make almond-car

I don't use or like milk or eggs, but there is a similar little place in Salt Lake City I am considering trying for my youngest son...he is lactose intolerant and not wanting to make the shift to veggie. How does goat milk taste in comparison to bovine? I want to try it for him, but am not sure how it will fly. Thanks!

5. Amaaaaazing!
Thirty-six hours without cooked and already the cravings have pretty much disappeared. I've been super stressed again today (I have a 15 year old who ran away last night and is with friends who are using drugs) but once I made the committment to not use "junk" knowing it will just make the misery worse, I've been able to enjoy my fruits and veggies. I started thinking today about the &q

This last week has been extremely stressful in a number of ways; I've really had a hard time and finding myself justifying or rationalizing why I don't really want to keep fighting cravings for cooked food. It's really interesting that the foods that make me feel the worst and have the worst effects on my body are the ones I crave more and more and more of. It's not like my body telling me what I

Oh, yes, what I ate today: I didn't work, so I had a more normal schedule. I air fasted till about 3 pm. Then I had a large glass of grapefruit/orange juice. About two hours later, I had a huge green salad with some of the zucchini salad on the recipe page of this site (my all-time favorite salad--I could eat it every day and sometimes I do!). I've decided to try avoiding eating fruit at the end

Back to 100% raw...and interestingly, my youngest is showing interest in many of the foods I prepare. He loves my fresh salsa, and also the homemade salt-free sauerkraut I make. Both my children are eating freely of the fruit in the refrigerator, and both have enjoyed the juice I've been making recently. Perhaps there is a silver lining to things...and my children will learn to enjoy the bounties

Yesterday and today were the most stressful days I have had in a very long time, and that's saying something (I work full time, 20 hours a week internship, and 2 nights a week of class + 2 teenagers at home). Had a very intense event with my youngest; it's not over yet and I'm feeling stretched to breaking. The other one had her wisdom teeth out today too, and of course is in a lot of pain and on

Day 4 all raw! I struggle with how much and how often I'm eating--as in I feel guilty. Its such good food and it feels like I'm eating non-stop. I'm not even trying to figure out the calories, just focusing on eating raw and trying to pay attention to what my body wants. I've been eating lots of dates and fruit. I remember Victoria Botenko says that sweet craving is partly due to lack of calcium,

I probably ought to introduce myself, and tell why I'm doing this journey. I'm 49 years old, a single mom, with 10 months to go on a Master's in mental health counseling. I work full time, and have 2 kids at home. I've been blessed with tremendous health all my life. I have 10 children all together, and have never had any problems. Most of my kids were birthed at home. (Yes, I'm a Mormon ;-D ) I

So today, again, not enough sleep. Got home at 7:30 am, slept till about 11:30, then got up and cleaned up a little before heading to internship at 2:00. For my meal, I had about 1/4 of a watermelon and a Lara bar. I'm drinking water because I'm thirsty, not sure why.
Got a call from my 6th grade son at 4:00--he's suspended from school for fighting. I'm noticing that its lots easier for me to

13. Re: group meals
daywahn, AA saved my life and eventually, as I got healthier and healthier, I ended up here...with raw...because that's what I came to know God wanted for me. I think your brother is in a good place. It works for some people, not so much for others. Funny thing, I used to think people were "put out" when I didn't want what they were having, but pretty soon, I noticed that if I didn't sa

I've sprouted by spreading soaked seeds on a wet paper or regular towel on a cookie sheet, then keeping another towel wet over them. It depends on the seed type; I have terrible luck with the bottle/screen for a lid method. This method has worked wonderfully well with grains like wheat or rye when I'm sprouting for rejuvelac; it also works well with legumes like lentils or peas. I also use trays

15. Raw feels right
I've been playing with different things for years, trying to find something that will work to keep me healthy and vital for a long life. Nothing ever seemed to fit. I've been diagnosed in January with hypothyroid, but the medication level is very low to manage it. I've been working toward becoming raw for a while, and finally did it! Using some of the salad recipes from this website helped a lot!
