Because our bodies do better with raw foods our guidelines change. This is why most other country's RDAs are so much lower than the US because their diets are better. If you compare this info with the UK's this is still even higher in most cases! These are my notes taken from Adam (nutrition genius on 30BAD) and other…

Feeling less hungry definitely happens to some because your able to taking in & absorbing vitamins!! This is why people will eat a huge old McD's meal and be hungry a little while later - they took in calories but there was no nutrition and in that the body is starved. glad your having such a wonderful time!! I'm jealous…

We are on the final stretch now!! Less than two weeks to go! How is everyone doing? I'm on day 2.5 at Banana Island and I very well see this going on for at least another week as we have another tree that is ready to go!! I had a bit of mucus today :( thinking maybe I have some unraw nuts or something in the house. Very…

WOW lots of questions!! Have you checked out the raw challenge thread? Lots of info there. I have a section all about protein & other links you can follow up on. I am building muscle because I am fueling my body and there is actually protein in fruit & veggies & its much easier to use because it comes in perfect amino acid…

-The produce people at the grocery store are your friends!! Whenever I go in there will be someone going through the produce and taking out the items with a little bruise or something - they throw this stuff out!! If you talk to them they will give you them for super discounted prices. I get a huge box of bananas (like…

coconut water is delicious!!!!!!!!!! Head to an asian market or if your lucky your local health food store will carry them. Get the young thai coconuts - they are white on the outside. Check out youtube for info on how to open one. Pop the top and sit back with the most energizing, refreshing liquid nature has to offer.…

Banana Smoothie!! Bananas & water = high energy pumping all day long. Breakfast should be jam packed with easily digestible foods to "break the fast" of not eating during the night. Bananas are cheap and provide fruit carbs which your body needs and your brain loves!! Kick the mood swings, get your body pumping, and fuel…

Right now I'm at Banana Island - only bananas for me!! I have about 20-30 bananas per day. When not doing this I only eat raw fruit, some veggies, and a very tiny amount of overt fats. I have never felt better!! Weight is dropping off, muscle is building up & I don't think about the things I need to do in the day - I just…

A 10 banana smoothie!! FUEL for the brain & body!!

Not sure why you would cover your "healthy" mashed potatoes (cauliflower) with heavily processed cheese...kind of defeats the purpose. How about some fresh herbs & garlic instead. i've seen folks use cauliflower as a substitute for rice as well. Here's a good one without all the added fat...…

Great job with your sis Ummbinat! What a wonderful gift to give! If we all just turn on one person to eating more raw foods then soon enough this world will be full of glowing happy people! My husband said the other day "can't we just be quiet vegans?" NO!!! There are so many people I care for and love deeply that are just…

I'm joining you!! Well kind of :) By tomorrow afternoon I will be on bananas. I still have a star fruit, 2 passion fruit, and a papaya that I will have for breakfast tomorrow. After that I have about 80 bananas staring at me soooo at least five days maybe more if some more bananas are ripened up by then. YAY!!! I've been…

Peanuts are toxic in their raw state & many people have allergies to peanuts soooo there is something in there that the human body doesn't like. I would avoid....besides almonds are amazing!! Oh and yeah pistachio <3
-
Bananas, dates, fresh figs, papaya, apples & almond butter, hummus with red pepper slices, bananas with carob sauce, and minty carob shakes are some of my favorites! Oh and banana crunch popsicles!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and we take bananas, mangos, pineapples, cherries...any fruit really and blend a couple of them up and put in…

I drink a total of 3 liters of water and nothing else everyday (about 13 cups). I drink 1 liter first thing in the morning and the rest throughout the day however never right before or after meals. I love being hydrated. Hydration= elimination and I definitely don't want toxins hanging out any longer than necessary. i do…

Best path would be to flush the feeling and/or take something alkalizing....so maybe some lemon water. Getting a bit of sun on the face always make me feel better as well - no matter what the ailment.
-
AWh thanks Ummbinat!! That sounds so yummy right now but I just used the last of my carob :( I should put in the notes on that one that refrigerating the banana for a couple hours makes it much more fun. Yeah everything has been on hold on the new site. RMC - I like the wheatgrass idea - never thought of that although my…

I can't stop at only one bunch - I eat 3!!

As far as that salsa/guacamole article - it said this accounts for 3.9% of restaurant related outbreaks. I'm sure the other 96% is from meat but no one seems to be doing an article on that. Our number 1 reason for eating this way is to be healthy. Having amazing health includes having a strong immune system. Eating this…

Hey everyone!!! Hope you are all doing well & thriving on whole delicious raw foods!! My husband came home again this weekend and is gone again :( We also found a home for one of the puppies & we are keeping the other. So things have settled down a bit around here. Tomorrow I am cutting out overt fats (nuts & avocados)…

Hemp protein powder - yummy & the most perfect protein available imho :)

I'm not a really big juicer but I would just say make sure you drink enough juice & hopefully you like the concoctions you come up with!! Keep us posted on your favorites!! Moreveggiesplease (Leah) does juicing & I think she just finished up a juice fast - she would be much more of an expert than me for sure.

Great job Ummbinat! No I think you have it private...go to My Home, then settings, and then the third category is where you can change your diary privacy settings. If you are consistently under than your body may start to store instead of burn. I would just try to stick with how many calories you should be having otherwise…

Oil pulling is an Ayurveda practice that has endless benefits. It strengthens the gums, whitens teeth, pulls toxins out of the body & tones the mouth in general, some even say it increases the metabolism & makes you live much longer. Basically you "pull" unrefined cold pressed sesame or sunflower oil through your teeth and…

Sometimes grape tomatoes do that to me as well. I have noticed a big difference between the ones that I grow & the ones at market - same type (I planted a tomato from them) & grown in same environment but theirs never taste like tomatoes while mine are delicious...I guess its the difference between love & chemicals. Great…

YAY RMC!!! So glad you finally found something you can eat!! When we are sick or injured its just natural for the body to fast & so your lack of hunger was dead on. Thanks for sharing that recipe Sailady! Is that from Ani Phyo? Your job sounds like a ton of fun - I'm sure very busy but always something new. Maybe get one…
-
Oh RMC!! I'm sorry your having such a hard time! Was the tomato just not ripe? I know kiwi & pineapple will do that to me if they are underripe. Yeah I would say a blended salad/soup cucumber, red bell pepper or something like that. Bananas would be one of the best because its soft & totally non acidic. Maybe try swinging…

Woohoo!! Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Mine is over and sadly enough my husband is off again for a couple more weeks. Sounds good Ummbinat!! I might have to try that pear recipe - I don't usually eat them either (the texture is weird for me) but that drink looks really yummy!! I'm so glad you got 80/10/10…

Ahh!! I feel so behind on everything! My husband came home yesterday & we also got two itty bitty puppies yesterday AM so I've been running around like a crazy woman. Puppies are bathed and husband is at work. You have all been quite busy!! Glad to have you join us Ummbinat!! So far here is the list of RAWkin peeps:…
