• Hey thanks a lot I appreciate it. I only re-open my wounds whenever I scratch, but as long as I keep it lubricated with lotion or the oil I mentioned, I'm good--so I try to make sure that it's 24/7 or else my legs are doomed once again. But I've got…

• I...love...apples!!! Those are my snacks. I shamelessly eat them beside my neighbor who's shoving a big mac down their throat. Oranges, bananas, apples... Hey, sometimes I eat spinach like pop-corn. Just bring it in a little bag or bowl and chow dow…

• Even though I still have a lingering eating disorder that comes and goes, I am CERTAIN that raw food is the answer for me as an individual. Whenever I eat raw food, there is NO GUILT whatsoever. And I make sure that I get enough calories. That is KE…

• Bethany, Hey girl I've been following up on you and I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work. I'm personally in a hole myself and trying to get out of it. Yeah it totally sucks. If I'm not raw, I'm thinking about raw. It's kinda obvious what the a…

• Good point, grapefruitfanatic. I too am bulimic and raw food is part of my healing process. I'm still working on my raw priorities and sometimes I give in to cooked food only to feel guilt and unhealthy emotions right away. But I'm VERY grateful for…

• CONGRATULATIONS for choosing raw food! Definitely keep it simple if you don't have time to be fancy. One of my favorite treats is blending a whole canteloupe with ice--it turns very frothy and soo delicious! It's an easy way to get extra calories if…

• You know I never really believed that raw food makes you "radiant" until I saw a picture of myself raw and WOW!! I was definitely radiating all over the place! So far I've been lucky in my raw journey. My family is extremely supportive of my journey…

• LOL, Deadly Steve. Actually, I put the garlic in the door--where I guess you normally put cheese. I have plenty of garlic! And yes I know about fruit lasting longer at room temperature, but I eat it up so quickly and I have very limitted counter spa…

• Hm, how weird. I eat about a bunch of bananas a day. But I notice that I don't drink as much water as I should. But how weird that every time I go raw again, this happens. Cami, thanks a lot for the magnesium glycinate advice! I'll definitely turn t…

• I'm so glad that there are people here that can relate to the--(dare I say it?) embarrassment of bringing raw food into a work place! I was just thinking about it today while at work. I realized how anxious I was simply because I was hungry again an…

• Um, when I first tried green smoothies,I too was discouraged. BUT!!! Make it simple!! My green smoothies are as easy as this: 3 oranges, and a lot of spinach until the taste is just right OR one whole pineapple and a lot of spinach until the taste i…

• I don't doubt for one minute that the raw food changed your kid's behavioral patterns. Just knowing the tremendous anxious affect coffee has on my system is one of MANY examples that food/SAD products can have on your body. Especially with kids bein…

• I have thoroughly enjoyed the soap nuts for my laundry. I developed this horrible rash whenever I sleep on regular-washed sheets so I needed an alternative. I never minded that it didn't smell "clean", but I'm sure if it ever bothers me I'll just pu…

• Hey everyone! Great idea with this thread, Durian. I have been bulimic for over two years; I'm not as diehard as I used to be. I used to binge/purge 5-6 times a day and now it's usually about 2-3 times a week. I've gained a lot of weight and don't f…

• Aw I love it! Sometimes I have sympathy for my body as if it's seperate from my "self." I feel horrible for beating this precious thing up with over-eating and when I'm in tuned to what my body needs, my happiness increases. Sometimes when raw, I'll…

• Hey Shay!! I'm from East Texas--and raw foodists where I'm from are hard to come by. So many people are into good country cookin'!! Good luck! You'll love it in no time! Remember, sometimes it's best to keep it simple; greens help with the cravings,…

• Oh yeah. I completely understand. There are some days were ALL I think about is cooked food: when I can get it, how I can get it, how I can hide it, etc! I tell myself how it's "okay" but then after I eat it, I have SUCH regret! Recently I had that …

• I think what you're asking is feeling stupid good AFTER consuming raw food? If so, GREEN smoothies or green juice, definitely! Or just greens! or...ALL THE TIME! haha. Or if your question was WHILE eating raw food... it depends on what I haven't had…

• joannabanana: I think you've definitely spoken truth in that! Lately I've been "reading my body" and how it responds to the raw food I'm putting in it--and today I made up my usual dinner with avacado and I hardly wanted it, so I didn't have much. T…
