601. Re: Rainbow Green
You probably posted something about this, or maybe it's none of my business, but can you tell me (us here...) what your diet looks like? I'm just curious.
Thank you so much for the book recommendation. At $15, I can afford that and am going to order it. Personally, I'd be happy to have some fresh fruit or veggies with a friend, plain and simple. But my SAD friends need more... production value

602. Re: Rainbow Green
Bryan,
A lot of your advice (to me and others over time here) has been right on. I loved your breakdown of what it takes to make different kinds of salad dressings. It was so simple, even I could remember it!
Do you have any cookbooks or web sites that you recommend that have mostly SIMPLE recipes? (Anyone besides Bryan feel free to jump in here too!)
I have a few raw uncookbooks but the

I gotta back up Bryan on fitday.com and also keeping track that way of your fat intake. I've seen fitday recommended and had it recommended to me. I resisted it for a long time. I wouldn't want to do it every day for the rest of my life, but keeping track for about a month really helped me to see what I was taking in to my body. I have liver/gallbladder damage from a life threatening, longterm bo

604. Re: cholesterol
Is the McDougal plan all raw? I thought it included cooked foods... ?

605. Re: cholesterol
I was 50-70% raw for a couple of years... didn't lose any weight, my cholesterol didn't go down, and my blood pressure didn't go down. What I was eating that was cooked would be considered high quality for cooked food. (No fast food type stuff.) I wasn't eating any heavily processed food.
Honestly, I have read lots of stories of people who had success at 50% raw and I was frustrated. Then, af

It took me a long time to figure out that there are a lot of very healthy people in the raw/vegan community who eat very differently from each other. If I eat like the healthiest person I know, I'm not necessarily going to be as healthy as that person. I need to eat what is best for me. And, as I said before, that may change over time.
There are a lot of people who will tell you, with almost r

607. Re: Help with skin
Aquadecoco said: "It's like taking English grammar rules and applying them to Portuguese - they don't work."
That is so true. Everything I learned while growing up in a processed/SAD food world, doesn't apply.
I just woke up and ate some yummy organic green grapes for breakfast. No worries about quantity or reading the ingredient label for harmful additives.

This thread seems to be a good place to post my thoughts on something that has been on my mind for a while.
One person eats cheeseburgers and someone says, "TOXIC! BAD!" and another eats flax seeds or spirulina and there is always going to be someone who says, "TOXIC! BAD!"
A friend of mine, one of the kindest people I know, eats all processed foods and meats and diet s

This (from Graham's article) is so true!!!
"I went raw but I got so skinny that I went back to eating cooked", I hear again and again. I can only reply that most people are skinny, they just hide that fact under a substantial layer of fat. We have become used to seeing fat people, they are the norm. So used to it, in fact, that people who are not fat look abnormal to us. They look

Some suggestions... take 'em or leave em...
1. Keep lots of healthy food in your home and at work. That helps me. Sometimes I am home and have a craving for something I know isn't good for me and will make me feel like crap after I eat it (either immediately or in the long run). When I have healthy food around, I'm less likely to go out and get something not so healthy. I'm lazy really: If I h

Thanks for posting about this site:
I am starting to think that I should use fitday.com for a while.
Why are sprouts controversial?
About blue/green algae and spirulina... don't take this personally, please... but isn't it just pond scum?

I have been lurking on this site for years and finally registered to respond to this thread.
I have had the same problem... getting enough protein. I know from both my own self-observation and from blood tests. Both confirm that I routinely have low protein levels.
For me, this may be because I have liver and gall bladder damage as a result of a life-threatening and long episode of hepatit
