• Good advice Raw Curls. I would also add what helped me a great deal was to have some raw packaged foods that helped me transition. Raw bread ( I didn't have a dehydrator when I first started ), ulimana's raw cacao brownie bites and Dr. Cow's cashew …

• I agree it's much easier to be 100%. If I do feel myself craving more I'll add soy, brown rice or steamed sweet potato, but I plan it out and don't eat them compulsively. For me I know feeling deprivation will eventually lead to a binge, so I prefer…

  in dehydrate at 140 Comment by schmoopee
• Great advice Zoe! I would also add 2 things... 1) Romaine's is not very nutrient dense for a salad base. I would recommend massaged kale and/or spinach--try to get the most out of every meal. 2) I have problems with low energy and low mood, what hel…

  in ways of storing and preserving produce? Comment by schmoopee
• Those seen on tv green bags seem to work. It does take a while to figure out how much to buy, I usually go to the store 2-3 times a week. When I do have things starting to get too old I pop them in the freezer to be used for smoothies.
