YUMMY!!! How old is your son? He is very well educated on nutrition or he just has some pure tastebuds. Great job mama!! Sorry I haven't been around very much as I found out my husband is coming home earlier than expected so my week to do list got chopped into two days. Keep up the great work!! Fresh clean & simple = Yum!

RMccully, did the pasta say it was raw? Pretty sure that it isn't and the bread isn't raw either - but since you are in transition they are both very good foods to keep you on the right track. However in the beginning you may have days where you just don't feel good mixed with days of super energy - this will happen as you…

Sailady, thanks for the info!! Yeah kidney beans and I think black beans as well should be avoided. I've wasted quite a bit of sprouts as well - its always a surprise how much they end up producing!!

Well Michael the guy doing the Western States 100 mile race ended up having some type of issue with his hamstring. He completed like 85 miles and half of that was with injury.

I know Jinjee was low fat raw vegan for the majority of all her pregnancies and I have seen many others than continue on their diets while breastfeeding.

What expert are you talking about? The video wouldn't play for me & I don't recognize any of these names listed. Of course people can always take things too far as with any diet or lifestyle change. This lifestyle can be as simple as you would like to make it or as complex with gourmet recipes, "super foods", and such. As…

Sounds great Jess - we can all support each other!!

In the past 4 months I did a 28 day water fast and followed with low fat raw vegan diet. I just completed a 5 day "change of the season maintenance" water fast. I didn't have any complications during either fast. During this time I did the following: skin brushing, deep breathing exercises, jal netti, sunbathing,…

I forgot to mention there will be a PRIZE this time!! I'm working on a formula to take into consideration the following: adherence to 75% raw over the course of the month (doing more will kind of be like a tie breaker type thing), quality activity level on the thread, and there will be a vote for each person to pick who…

Revolting. Its so sad because people actually by this stuff - the more they buy the more companies give these people what they want. If more people wanted fruit & veggies then that would be what they give us. I can't eat anything at a convienence store. How sad is that - nothing they have is edible to me.
