Hubby and I just made our first batch of KimChi last night. Made 6 Quart Mason jars full. 1. Were we supposed to stuff them super full, like we did?? 2. Was there supposed to be enough juice in each jar to immerse veggies? That didn't happen in all of them 3. Our jar lids exploded in middle of night and juice was all over counter. Realized that DUH we were supposed to leave breathing roo

242. Re: What to expect when first switching over to Raw??

Currently I am drinking 2 juices per day. Each are approx 12-14 oz. Usually, it is carrots, swiss chard, celery, 1/2 lemon (which I have to have because it cuts the sweetness), big handful parsley and tops of 1 green onion. Don't know if that is a good combo for my ailments. I don't know how much produce it would take to create 1 gallon juice but would be concerned about cost for certain

Because I cannot seem to get enough calories into my body, I am going to take the suggestion of a couple of you and add cooked organic brown rice. Question. When should I eat it? Morning, afternoon or night??? Thanks y'all!

Wow, Living Food. What an amazing amount of information. Thank you sooo much! You say that everyone should have 24 oz of sprout juice per day. Wow! That's ALOT of sprouts! How much sprouts would it take to get the 24oz of juice? I'm not ready to do this quite yet, but would love to at least start doing some sprouting. I get almost all of my produce organic at the Farmer's Market so am blessed

Panchito, Thank you. I sincerely appreciate your help. Still trying to read Herbert Sheltons pamphlet on Food Combining (Prana gave me the link). Is very interesting. Mainly, at this point, I'd really like to just have a chart to look at so that I can plainly see what I should and should not combine. Blessings, Mindy

249. Is it True about Nuts??

Is it true that if they are not first sprouted that the body will not assimilate them properly?? If so, sprouting is something I've never done, but need to learn. Any good articles or websites that you might know of that could teach me?? Thanks.

fresherthanlife - sorry, not sure what you are referring to when you say that "that's" too much sugar for you. Do you mean juice or eating high percentage of fruit in diet?? If you are referring to juicing, I juice 3-4 carrots and lots of greens. No fruit.

I had a feeling about the trail mix actually, so thanks for that confirmation. As far as the juice goes, I have got to have the extra nutrients right now though, so??? Perhaps I should just have 1 juice a day instead of 2 ??? Did you guys (you and Panchito) go back, by chance and read what I used to eat daily?? Also, you both said that my calorie intake was too low, but never said how mu

Prana - What I typed in there was only up until 3 pm. After that, I had 1 more veggie juice (exactly the same as earlier one) and then 1 big handful of raw organic trail mix (almonds, cashews, cranberries, raisins, pumkin seeds, sunflower seeds) I think that's all. Hope I'm not forgetting something. I always make sure to feel satisfied and I am trying to go and eat again as soon as I fee

Without going into detail, I will say that both yesterday and today, I've had SUCCESS. Yay!! What a relief. Good grief! ha. Storm - I had no idea that these can slow down digestion. I have 1 whole lemon (in my fresh juice) everyday and plenty of vinegar in my salad dressing. Hmmm... I'm not sure I can stand a juice without the lemon to be honest. They are just way too sweet for me. I can only

Thanks everyone for your input. Prana, I will come back here and do that later, though I will confess that I'm not certain I'll be able to remember everything. Will try though. I certainly hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot. My health depends on this.

I drink alot of water. I was extra thirsy yesterday so drank somewhere between 1.5-2.0 gallons. Yes, gallons! Still no movement this morning. Sheesh! I DO need to work on my chewing. Bad habit I have is chewing and swallowing food too quickly I am sure. Yes, I was drinking coffee for many years. Today is my 9th day without. I will be keeping an eye on my thyroid, realizing that it will

Just for my own personal record, want to document that today is my 8th day and I am very sluggish and feeling extra fatigued. Constipated also. Ugghhh. Not giving up though. No Way! Still trying to understand what I should and should not consume daily. Still don't have that down, but moving forward.

Are your melons from Mexico organic?? If not, I'd reconsider if I were you. Don't know if yo live in the U.S., but if you do, we (the U.S) imports produce that is laden with pesticides that are completely illegal for U.S. farmers to use here. Too weird that we even do that, but a warning to you in case you did not know. Blessings!

How much iodine, per day, is adequate? What are some good natural, raw sources of iodine that I can consume daily? Also, if I am to eliminate cruciferous veggies, what greens might I consider for juicing?? Thank you Powerlifer!

Surprised that I am, but am constipated on 100% Raw. Went straight from SAD to 100% only 8 days ago I think it was. I do need to go and get romaine lettuce as Prana suggested. Any other help? Should I/ Would it be bad to enema? Thanks

Powerlifer, Isn't it possible that fermenting the cruciferous veggies will "cook" them and allow them to be safely eaten just as steaming them would do?? Would be nice if is so.
