I think the thing is to prepare food in advance, find a few good staple recipes like pates, breads and salads and fruit smoothies. Make them up and take them into work with you. Soup can also be made up with warm water and put into a flask.
Psychologically, I don’t think you should be aiming for a body like a model but instead focus on eating healthy raw food. Your weight will naturally stabilise when raw long enough. It’s so easy to get carried away with ‘model’ images these days.
I enjoy chickpea hummus if I sprout them to short tails, then I will blanch them in hot water. I add sesames, olive oil, garlic, lemon, cumin, garlic and sea salt and blend until smooth. The blanching helps take out the bitter taste.
Not enought greens, if you don’t get the protein and calming satiating effect of greens, you will feel the need to keep eating. I don’t see how you can get bored with the food, there is so much variety, You could try sitting down and writing out a meal plan, making it as diverse as you desire. Using some superfoods can make it interesting too.
i am really happy making my crackers that are half buckwheat and half flax, if you make the batter quite thin, they turn out really nice and light like poppadoms. They’re on my page.
Hi bluebells, pau d’arco is very good for building immunity. It’s also important to keep Vitamin C levels high. Goji berries are good too. Nature’s biotic is a good quality supplement which claims to help build up immunity too. Your health will improve as you eat a good variety of natural unprocessed foods.
t the tree of life center, they use sprouted buckwheat and quinoa in moderations. They are the main grains/seeds they use raw as there is no mould in the storage process.
They would be useful foods to include in a diet based on carbs. I sometimes use them in my salads as they both have excellent qualities.
You probably need more fat and/or protein in your diet. Slow oxidisers need less fats/protein because they metabolise food slowly, if you’re speeding up too much and hungry all the time, you need more protein and/or fat. Experiment to see what helps.
I soak them for 20 minutes and then start the sprouting process, rinsing twice a day. They sprout really quickly within a couple of days, if they don’t they will go off. If they’re just going off and not too sour smelling, you can dehydrate them as rawnutrition said and store for making flour or granola.
I’m so glad I have an holistic dentist but it doesn’t really help with the dentist situation in general, you still get jags etc. My partner had to get a tooth pulled last time and it wasn’t fun, no anaesthetic just a jag. I’ve been ok so far but I do feel everything so much more than when I was cooked, I always take a flask of chamomile tea and down chlorella tablets when I go to the dentist. Seems to help me relax!

If you put 1/2 cup carob or mesquite flour in the grinder along with 1/2 cup cacao nibs and then grind, you will get a lovely fine chocolate powder.

Skip the banana in the filling and decoration. You can make a jam with the apricots you have and then layer the fruit on.

(Topic: Being Raw / dentists, anaesthesia and raw)
I’m so glad I have an holistic dentist but it doesn’t really help with the dentist situation in general, you still get jags etc. My partner had to get a tooth pulled last time and it wasn’t fun, no anaesthetic just a jag. I’ve been ok so far but I do feel everything so much more than when I was cooked, I always take a flask of chamomile tea and down chlorella tablets when I go to the dentist. Seems to help me relax!
