RE: working on willingness [s]

Sound wonderful.

 

for some reason, within the RF movement people have been taught to juice

greens with semisweet or subacid fruits. May I also suggest using sweet

fruits, since you are trying to add sweetness and alkalinity, not acidity.

So instead of the apples, try dates, figs, apricots, and the like.

Next step would be to take out the nongreen vegetables and use bananas. For

example, a smoothie of bananas, dates, and celery goes down VERY well, I

have them frequently.

HI Lynne,

 

I love juicing. I've started juicing more greens lately to try and help

balance out my diet. My favorite basics usually start with carrot juice.

Then I'll add spinach or any kind of lettuce. If you're not used to the

taste of greens just start with a little at a time and begin to increase.

Adding an apple also helps with sweetness and goes well with carrot and

greens. Celery will cut the sweetness a bit and goes well all mentioned

above. I've done a juice fast in the past which was a nice break for my

body, but it's not necessary to cleanse when you're just starting out. For

some people just eating raw will provide detox and cleansing, especially at

first. If you're still interested in fasting here are some links:

Also, if you go to ://www.rawfoodsupport.com/

<http://www.rawfoodsupport.com/> they have a raw forum where you can look

at past posts, there are a lot with people that have the same questions as

you.

 

Good luck!

Hello everyone, I am new to all this but I am VERY interested and

trying to learn - it is something like when we (my husband and I)

became vegetarians 7 years ago - I floundered at first without

recipes and ideas - that is why I am here - to drain all you people

of everything you know!! To continue on the food journey and I see

the great need for change and it is the next step on the journey of

looking after ourselves and the world.

 

I am sprouting seeds and finding them good - trial and error - any

info would be good - there is a smell that goes with sprouting (not

too pleasant!), isn't there - ir is that me not doing it right?!

 

I have them (the seeds) in the kitchen in a heated propogator as I

found it too cold here for them to sprout much (England).

 

I am going to buy a juicer today - possibly that will help us to

consume more raw vegatables - any comments or suggestions anyone?

 

Would a " fast " help us to cleanse our bodies or is that outside what

the group would talk about? Never ever done a fast but have read

about it - anyway - thanks - hopefully will hear from you all

Love Lynne xx
