For me the one month raw for each year cooked was about right. I was 45 when I went raw, 100% overnight. I shocked the hell out of my body. I didn't know anything about raw food, detox, or gently easing myself in to it. All I had read were the books by Dr.Norman Walker so I was juicing all day long for myself, then partner and two kids. And dragging crates of carrots and spinach up 3 flights of s

Hi Gosia,
Thanks for your encouraging words. You're right, I am where I should be.
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better at last. I've always hated taking pills as well. That's good that you're body is sending you such clear messages. I want to get to the stage where I only eat when I'm hungry and my body tells me what it wants to eat and food as such is not important anymore, just a means

Hi suncloud,
Cauliflower rice is minced raw cauliflower. If you process it in the foodprocessor it has a texture similar to rice.

I've hit a bit of a rough spot with my eating. Except for two days, I've had fat every evening this week. I have most definitely not been eating low fat this week.
And tonight I had cauliflower rice with lots of spices and oil and olives (no salt) and tomatoe and cucumber rolled up in a lettuce leaf and nori. It was a cold and rainy Sunday today and I just wanted to lie on the settee, wrapped

You can do it Gosia! There comes a point where you just have to trust that if you do the right thing and keep on doing it then everything will turn out all right.
I have reached that point in knowing that for me, eating right means eating high fruit/low fat. I'm not sure about the greens at the moment. I might even be on my way to becoming a fruitarian. I'm still drinking green juices, although

Gosia you're back, good for you! I think you made a wise decision, eating low fat will probably help you to recover sooner. I have been seeing a chiropractor for the last two years for my back. Two weeks after starting this trial I changed my treatments from having my spine adjusted manually, to having him teach my body to correct itself and he says he has never seen such a fast response. He told

Thanks for wishing me well. Yes, this time around detox feels very exciting. I started eating high fruit/low fat because I wanted to improve my health some more and it looks like that's what I'm getting by ridding myself of some crap I was still storing in my body.

Sorry peisi, I promised to post and then I didn't. I've been ill for the last couple of days, feels like some major detox. I know detox is a word used quite a lot on this board but I can't see what else it could be. I have not been ill for years. My tonsils are swollen and I'm feverish. I tried eating less but that didn't help so now I'm juice fasting and trying to take it easy. I haven't exerci

Hey peisi,
I was wondering the same thing myself about this thread but I'm still doing the trial and as long as you're still here I'll keep posting as well. I've been really busy this week and I didn't get round to posting my food intake for last week yet and it's late where I am so I'm going to bed now but I promise I'll write a proper post tomorrow

Oh my peisi, you're getting an hourglass figure for sure If my past experiences are anything to go by you're whole body will get trim and slim and then finally your thighs will lose their excess fat. That's what I think is happening to you anyway.
Mmmm, the glasses make you look dark and mysterious if that's the kind of image you want. Not bad.

Hi anuiyer7,
My youngest son had asthma before we started eating raw. Not very severe but he did have to use a inhaler on and off. Within a couple of weeks of eating 100% raw his asthma disappeared.
A friend of mine has a daughter who has very severe asthma. She wakes up several times a night, not being able to breathe and has to use her inhaler. My friend put her on raw diet and also with

Yeah, lots of us still here!!
Thanks for reminding me about Nora's site Gosia. I hadn't been there for ages but today I was reading there for quite a while and found lots of good stuff to think about in her personal raw story. Especially about overeating, which I'm doing a lot at the moment because I do miss not eating so much fat. And also about mistakes being very much a part of our future

To me blended foods would tax the system more because of the lack of mastication (mixing with saliva) and the speed/volume/ and COMBINATIONS of food ingested. to me this goes hand in hand with blending, however of course it doesn't have to, depending on the individual's use

That's really interesting about Nora getting rid of her excess fat like that. Did you read that on her website or on her forum? I really want to try eating no overt fats at all for a while as well but after my macadam

That's a coincidence,a post about warts. I am treating my youngest son for a wart at the moment. He has a huge one on one of his little toes. I haven't seen a GP for anything for about 3 years or more now and I felt quite reluctant to do so when my son sprouted this big wart. So I wondered if my favourite treatment for anything from cuts to bruises to sprained ankles would work it's miracle cure

I agree with you Anaken that baby food is pureed because babies don't have teeth. I think blended food is helpful for adults though because most of us and especially once we get older, have compromised digestive systems from years of eating cooked food and when we first start eating raw our bodies have trouble digesting all the roughage in raw foods. A lot of people also

I find that a bit confusing, Brian Clement saying that blending renders the food useless yet he worked with Ann Wigmore when she ran the Boston Hippocrates centre,which he took over after her death and then moved to Florida. And Ann Wigmore mostly lived on her famous (blended) green soup.
Anyway, the way I feel about blending foods is that you lose a bit of nutrition through oxidation but you
