I hate raw tomatoes. I wish I loved them, they are SO beautiful. I have to choke them down. I did go to a potluck Sunday and the chef made the BEST raw tomato soup, but alas, no recipe. Evidently you have to pay $48 a month for 16 recipes.
Too bad, because I could eat that everyday the rest of my life I think.

It was weird...after day three I got to the point where I had no appetite and when I drank the juice I felt like I was going to vomit. I don't know if it was physical or emotional detox? I'm going back on a juice feast next week I think. I'm going camping this weekend and it may not be practical. I did buy a hand juicer, but after practicing, all I would be doing is hand juicing all day to get en

Thanks all. I may try the mung beans. I saw them last night at the health food store and brought my daughter to see them because I thought they were cute. Hee,
David do you sprout just until the sprout cracks the hull, or grow them longer? I tried to sprout quinoa once and I let it grow too long I guess because they fermented even though I rinsed 2-3 times a day. Lentils did better.

I LOVE beans. It's probably the one thing I really miss. Can I sprout beans and eat them? I don't hear much about raw beans, so I was curious wheather they are palitable or not. I was hoping for a soft bean to make raw chili. Pinto's maybe? <shrug>?

126. Re: detox question
I haven't had a sore throat, but since starting my juice feast my belly button turned bright red and raw last night. I also am noticing a pink tinge to my skin, all over, not just the face. It looks like I've gotten a little sun, but I haven't been in the sun much. Detox is interesting.

I'm paranoid of fat, but there are thngs that help me stay raw being a newbie like the lemon tahini dressing recipe I found last night. I thin it and use it very sparigly on the side. But it really help me break my aversion to greens since I started raw. I'm happy. :-)

I made it 4 days. I had 2 lettuce leaves w/ a dab of tahini dressing. Not too bad for a first try. I think I'll juice twice a day and have one small raw meal a day.
:-)
Oh... I lost 6 pounds the first 3 days. :-)

I'm doing well and detoxing. :-) There is a lot more energy and hapiness already. I'm prepared for the emotional detox that may come. This morning I woke up coughing and almost vomited. I wonder if that has to do with all the years of smoking cigarettes..could be.

Maybe juice feasting for 3 days will kick your cravings and let you get back to raw. Good Luck!

Well I'm definitely detoxing. I've been severely constipated for years due to gastroparesis, a gut motility disorder. I could not "go" on my own without precriptions. Yesterday (Day 1) I went 3 times! The evening one was diarrhea.
This morning after my juice I had it again, and most of it was clear. Odd... but I feel great!
I'm off to go fruit & veggie shopping!

Day 1 was fairly easy. I have a slight headache, but no worse than the ones I had SAD eating. I only had a 1/2 gallon of juice today. I think I'll incorporate more water or more juice. I felt lightheaded at times.
BUT I made it with no food.. NO CANDY (yay me!) I need to pick up some spinach.
Lunch was spinach/apple/carrot (YUM)
Dinner was tomato/bell pepper/celery/carrot (also YUM)

I don't have any feasting books, but I've been around the web and here. Of course here is the best! (wink). I didn't know they made mini juicers and oranges are 30 cents a pound at a store close to me! I bought some purified water in case I feel the need to drink something. I really just want to try to listen to my body, but don't want to do anything stupid if that's possible.

Thanks WY. I've read to drink a gallon a day which is hard to do in 5 hours. (one in the AM and 4 in the PM) I guess I'll just wing it. I'll try the dry fasting. Seems like embarking on 2 fasting elements when I've barely experienced one. Kinda scary. But who knows, I might surprise myself. :-)

I'm going to embark on a juice feast. I have researched and want to put myself in a space to really get in tough with, and listen to my body and what it wants.
It will be fruits, veggies and greens. How long I do it will be up to my body.
What I haven't run across is how to juice away from home. The juicer is pretty big to be lugging around to work and back. "They" say to drink y

and anorexia? Not disrespecting.. I just want to understand. They both are choosing not to eat, correct? Breatharian may be a choice and anorexia nervosa a compulsion, but doesn't the body go through the same things and end the same way?

142. Re: Raw percentages
I hate things that are complicated, but I read somewhere that (for example) if my 2 raw meals were 400cals total and my one meal was 800cals then my percentage would only be 33%.
I hate recording/journaling food. I'm trying to get out of that. It was part of my ED. Trying to listen to my body. I find if I stuff it with thingsI don;t realy want, but think I want... that I shut it up and I can't

146. Re: Quantum Eating
This is interesting. I wonder if eating twice a day would make my blood sugar crash (diabetes) or if it would stabilize it. I might need to guzzle water to stave off hunger. Interesting. Don't you get hungry?

I wish I had a place to be alone. To meditate and reflect withour interruption, without the claustrophobic feeling of my house and the mess and bills. My house represents stress. I wish there was pretty nature here.
I don't know why I feel I have to post my food. Am I looking for approval? answers? Ideas?......hmmm.... me thinks approval is in there somewhere.

I don't mind the $5, although I wish it was going to a cause. I just want to meet other raws. I wonder if I should post a raw gathering at my home on the health food store bulletin board? My hubby isn't cool with strangers, but maybe I could talk him into it.

I'm kinda tired of fruit. I never thought I would say that. It's been 3 weeks. Some days I'm higher raw, some lower. I try not to feel guilty for eating cooked food.
Today I had a lot of homemade vegan chili and some great raw jalepenos. I learned not to use my thumbnail to scrape out the seeds. My thumb is still hot from this morning (under the nail).
I'm off for some fresh juice.
