It's not the bananas - it's something else within your body, and my guess is too much fat. with that much fat, it surrounds the sugar molecules, and then the insuling can't get to the sugar, and we start another cycle. that's why I stuck to salad > originally.

I recommend stickig with > pure steam distilled water. i look on distilled water as a cooked item, it's heated. it wouldn't affect me adversely to drink distilled water since it comes cold, but i'm still wary of anything that's heated, i just don't think i need to heat anything, i don't think god set it up that way. i'll probably just take my chances with tap and spring water, i know they're not as healthy but i don't think this diet has a lot to do with health in the sense that spirituality can overcome anything easily, in other words, eating as i believe i should is the important thing and it's spiritual growth that makes all the difference, the physical is like a shadow nothing as far as food and everything else material. > > why skip avocado? > > for starting out, it's way too high in fat; in 100g, there's 75% of it > that's fat, a whopping 121 cal out of 160 calories. I think I > remember from when I saw you earlier that you were a huge avo fan - > used to eat multiple every day, as I remember. i don't know, i'd say a lot of fat as a comfort food for transitioning to raw is a good thing, i remember when i first went raw back in '95 i soon found avos and relied on them right from the beginning. plus a person is going to lose a lot of weight on this diet initially just because it's such a radical change, that taking in as much fat as raw allows is a good thing to eat something substantial that may help weight. i used to eat a lot everyday, now i just eat 2 or 3. > and i thought you said a little nuts/seeds are > > good, why skip them for now? > > yes, little nuts and seeds are ok - suggested skipping for now for > Heather to get an easier start into Raw, and to concentrate upon sweet > fruits.... from my perspective, nuts and seeds are for processing anger over this radical change of diet and the anger is highest initially so swallowing some raw nuts right from the beginning could be a good thing just so i feel like i'm eating something substantial and cooling my emotions a little bit. of course, you have to believe in the emotional component to getting raw to understand what i'm saying. > good luck to you...are you asking from an inquiring perspective, as in > you want to learn something? or is it something else? As I remember, > you were here for a long time, posted lots, and I assume, read lots. just dialoguing man, saying whatever comes to mind, i wouldn't ask anything for anyone else, if i ask, it's for me. and yes, sometimes i can learn something, just getting someone else's perspective and dialoguing about this is helpful, it doesn't matter a whole lot what someone else says. it's the commitment to being raw and communicating with others who want same that's the helpful thing, i've got to keep my commitment strong by sharing what i've got with others who believe in this. i posted lots on here earlier this year, it's not interesting enough to get that involved anymore. i haven't really read much about food, i was an avid spiritual reader for a long time and i simply know that i've got to get comfortable being a produce eater if i ever want any peace of mind in this life. rich www.rawfoodeaters it cheers me so when someone joins this group.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 25, 2005 Hi there Bob, Quick questions Here is my new diet (yet to be implemented) Breakfast 3 bananas 5 - 6 organics dates 3 peaches 2 apples Lunch salad with cukies and tomato Dinner oranges. How does that sound? about how much time does it take for a person to become fully detoxed, and start gaining weight again? Will this improve my elimination?

I am especially eager to respond to you as you share the name of my sister, and I notice the spelling is the same. I am sorry if I am digressing from the original topic but I can't help but elaborate on the lovely name. It was actually chosen by my maternal aunt for my sister as it means God is gracious, as my mother almost died during childbirth. Again, sorry for the digression but I don't often see it spelled that way. Do try the recipe and I am sure you will be pleased. Ron Janice's Jewels <janices_jewels wrote: Hi Ron.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 20, 2005 rawfood , " Debi " <debiannp> wrote: > > What are the best books to get? Welcome, Debi! My current favorite book is The Raw Food Gourmet: Going Raw for Total Well-Being by Gabrielle Chavez (ISBN 1-55643-613-0). The forward was written by Victoria Boutenko. Here's what's written on the back cover: " 'Going raw' is not a fad. It's a favor to yourself and the conscious choice to embrace health and optimize your life. The gourmet recipes and meal ideas here show that far from taking away familiar pleasures, raw foods can match them plus bring new excitement to your diet. Raw foods give the full complement of needed nutrition, and they have become a happy alternative for people with allergies or eating disorders. Perhaps the most surprising benefit from raw foods is that you will feel terrific -- physically energized and spiritually renewed. " Featuring some 150 'rawsome' recipes, from appetizers and snacks to feast foods and desserts, Chavez describes what you can create with the wide range of fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables, spices, and seasonings that make up the repertory of raw foods. Along with information on ingredients and preparation, she shares stories of her own voyage discovering the joys of un-cooking. Even those who can't imagine eating only raw foods will find irresitible recipes here. " Enjoy! Annette (Washington State) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Thanks for the tip on the book. I just donated most of my old cook books. I tossed a lot of the " old " flours and nasty white rice too. No turning back now! So far this has been fairly easy. My husband has been on a trip for the past week. I figure if need be I can grill him a piece of meat. Hope Everyone has a good weekend!

Guest guest Report post Posted November 4, 2005 Thanks Chanda! I will certainly check these out. We ate out last night at Old Country Buffet ~ we both ate strictly vegetarian! Celebrating her acceptance to Clarion University next fall. Maybe she can find some fellow vegetarians there....

Guest guest Report post Posted March 29, 2006 -Welcome Sharon, We have all been here waiting for you. LOL. Glad you stopped " lurking " and started posting. You'll like this group. In reference to the milk alergies..I finally got my 86 year old mother to stop drinking milk and using cream. She was having one sinus infection after another,stomach cramps, and acid reflux. After she stopped the milk no more problems and no need to take the medicines that the doctor gave her. She actually ended up in the ER before she would listen. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to stop old habits. I will be a Vegan in this lifetime but have to give away my leather boots,shoes and handbags first. I have vowed to never buy any leather again so that will be easy. Now to give up butter and occasionally cheese and it will be accomplished.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 29, 2006 I have gained much from this group by just lurking. If I ever start to cook from a cookbook I will be sure to post the recipe. I have tried a few from the files and they are now favorites. The pasta dishes, soups and grain recipes also. I'm going to try a loaf one of these days. I've been using the frozen Boca's and I'm rather tired of those now.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 7, 2006 I wish you the best of luck with defeating your breast cancer and regaining your life after an unhappy marriage. My daughter is a breast cancer survivor (and skin cancer) and how I wish she would be more open to more of a raw food diet. Maybe I can share your sucess stories with her!!! Trish Burrows P.O. Box 456 Newland, NC 28657 828-733-1672 sunflowers2 - rawfood: 5/6/2006 2:50:03 PM [Raw Food] New Here Hi everyone. I am a 58 year old woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I am obese and 3 years ago came out of a very difficult 25 year marriage which I ate my way through!!! When I was in my late 20ies, I became very interested in raw food. I still have all of my books, and have recently ordered a sprouter, and hope to detox and start eating primarly raw foods. Just wanted to introduce myself.
