hey sachelle ... u m er I mean ... earth angel (sweet name)
I've been more around 80% the past few days - or eaten only one non-raw thing a day. like roasted pepitas or hummus. I'm having some financial constraints right now so I don't mind eating some cooked if its what we have (we still have rice and lentils in our dry storage).
I've been thinking the past fews days about what is it that

Made some raw cookies yesterday. They didn't come out to great as I substitued figs for dates and forgot to put banana ... but they satisfy the sweet craving a bit - remind me of Larabars. actually I had the Cashew cookie Larabar yesterday and that was yummy.
I think my blood orange binge is over. I've never been one for citrus...

Dafodil has some good points.
I used to have Colitis (think IBS x3 or so ... ) Using David Klein's book, enzyme therapy, food combining and acupuncture I am cured. Eliminating meat and esp dairy and grains makes a huge difference as it eliminates mucus causing agents. The other things that can help with IBS is psyllium husk and flax meal which balance out the fluids in your intestin

Hey I have not been around for a week or so. This past week I've been really occupied putting the news magazine together... so I am waiting for it right now and then delivery!
So last week was 100% easy .. then on the weekend I chose to eat a cooked meal after I went to WEgman's and they have an AWESOME produce selection. So I ate a barely cooked spicy stirfry with red rice and also some popcor

I agree with what David is saying. It is best to get somewhat comfortable and confident with the diet first. I am in week two of 100% raw and had a few days where I ate almost all fruit and for me that is not something I can sustain right away - I felt tired and imbalance. But I expect as I as I get stronger then I can fast and eat more fruit. Right now though I am eating more fatty food - avos a

I haven't posted for a few days.
Today was good but the past few days were hard as I felt I was going thru every craving for cooked food that I could. One night I ate some popcorn ... my stomach was hurting and I have this fear from the past of having an empty stomach - or equating empty stomach with pain - so then I want to eat something even though I know it would be better to not eat anythin

Yeah, I'm not sure about the truth or impact of this on the sproutability.
All I know is that we don't need organizations deciding how our food will be processed and not saying so on their labelling. There is a big ongoing debate about pasteurization and apple cider here in Upstate New York. One local mill has been protesting and gather thousands of letters in support of consumer choice. In dire

I've also heard that it increases the amount of minerals in the produce, so it's supposed to be good, esp for children to get their minerals. I don't remember where I read that though...

I am on the verge of creating a similar enterprise and so I have some of the same questions.
I guess the place to start is to check out what kind of prices you can get based on volume. with those prices you can start to get a business plan together...
the reality is that people are willing to pay more for organic and prepared organic foods, so put the price at what you need to cover

Hey starfruit -
Sounds like you are doing well barring the cooked food incident. ... I was wondering where do you get your macaroons? do you get them from one lucky duck? or do you make them?
just wondering.

you probably don't even need to steam it. I think cruciferous and starchy veggies are better digested if you steam them lightly - I don't even know if that's 'true' but they taste better to me.
Right now I'm drinking a smoothie of pineapple juice with banana, goji berries, raw maca and flax meal before I get down to doing some work - housekeeping kind of stuff.

Sushi nite!!
no fish no rice. My hunny made rice from cauliflower - really yummy combo of flavors the only thing was that it was a bit wet but overall just like veggie sushi.
here's a rough recipe for the 'rice'
1 cup of cauliflower, lightly steamed and processed
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp honey
1 tsp rice vinegar

I get what you're saying about money being an issue. I worry about that too. today I'm going to look online at prices for various raw things I can't get at the store to help me stay on track (nut butters esp.) But yeah, I always sya, 'you can't put a price on your health" since eating healthy has always been a priority for me, I try not to sweat it. And since I don't have health i

wow thanks for the info sachelle. I will probably continue to use it for the b-12. Probably my favorite "vegan but not raw treat" is popcorn with oil, n. yeast, dried seaweed and cayanne on it. I feel like that isn't a terrible thing to eat as long as its not everyday.
Today I've just been eating lots of fruit.

Transformation isn't always easy and that's what you're going through! You are really dealing with yourself and most people are not willing to do that. so Congrats for taking it on!
Just have faith in the process and your body's ability to heal itself. if you went from meat cooked diet to raw there's probably a lot for your body to deal with in the process. Have you been sleeping a l

You're in the right place for advice! I would suggest starting a topic on the diary list or meeting place for support - like you're own little cozy spot on this forum.
<I tend to eat a lot of nuts, seeds and dry fruit at night.>
that *might* be part of the issue. starting out you may find it more cleansing to do more fruit and less 'heavy' foods.
just my two cents

yeah he just told me he thinks he is moving towards that though not as quickly as I am. He also asked me to record my bodily sensations - like detox symptoms - as I go.
Today was really good. I don't have the salty cravings anymore. I'm feeling simpler with my food. For dinner I had two bananas with some raw almond butter and half an avacado, and half a tomato. I also had a slice of starfruit

Sachelle thanks for the advice. I'm going to check out fit day.
So this weekend was kind of like a free for all getting rid of cooked food in the house - but getting rid of, I mean eating --. Then we went to the store and bought lots of fresh fruit and veggies - I ate a prickly pear for the first time!

She had an allergic reaction to celery when she was young and almost died. She is very sensitive to anything raw, and can only eat a few bites before she feels a tingling in her throat which she links to the allergic reaction.
