You can try more fat. I'm not familiar with the nutrient calculator. Maybe you can find out more. Generally I believe, you can play with the ratios and see what works for you. Maybe take an avo to work, sliced up and have that, if it helps. With the raisins, I would add 2 or more tablesp. to a cup.

The definition of insanity is sth like- if you do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. I became a raw foodist when I was 22 for the same reasons. People around me just didn't seem to be so healthy, balanced... If I had a kid, I would want it to grow up very different from the ...

the mouth ulcers are probably from the pineapple and kiwi. Cut those out for now. Make sure your oranges are ripe. I would suggest preparing 1/2 liter oj with oo and soak one or two cups or organic, sundried, unsulfured raisins over night, drink the water in the morning and add 2 -4 T. oo to it. Tak...

I would eat smaller quantities of food at a time like just 3 sips of juice with oo or 1/2 banana with oo at a time every 30 min or so, as not to spike your insulin. The skin often gets worse at first before it gets better. The trapped seabum can come out now.

I used to make my own sauerkraut and raw goat milk kefir. And I also used to take probiotics at some point. None of these ever had such an effect on my well being as the Wai diet does. If the concern is, to have good digestion then the Wai diet supports that. If you want to build up good bacteria in...

People who grow up in a sterile environment or are treated with medication/antibiotics a lot are more likely to get sick. They have a weak immune system. It is good to let a cold etc. run it's course because it builds the im. sy. up. The longer you wait to do that, the worse the illnesses become, un...

MJ, that is fantastic. I wish there was more people like you. The world would be a better place. It is awsome that your kids get to eat like this. They are so lucky. Makes me feel so happy to hear about this. :D You guys don't by chance live in Santa Barbara? I only get to meet raw foodies that are ...

you don't need to drink so much on this diet. Just drink when thirsty. Volvic water is recommended.
When you go on your walks, go without makeup. Wear makeup to work if you feel better. But as you get healthier and walk in the fresh air you will not need it anymore so much at some point.

Hi Welshie If you want to lose weight. Eat the sample diet and go on walks two or more hours every day. Take along some oj with oo and sip it, 3 sips at a time every twenty min. or so, dep. on your energy needs. Eat your protein meal after that. Try not to eat foods you'll gorge on. Because, when yo...

I'm not sure but google sth. like electric orange juicer or mechanical orange j. If you have trouble e...

I always cover my tuna with lemon juice and leave it out over night. Then I eat it with cucumber and avocado, oo. That mix is maybe not allowed on the strict sample plan.

Refined sugar undergoes a process that includes chemical treatment. White sugar has even been bleached with chlorine. Those are facts that cannot possibly be taken lightly. There are many more reasons not to eat sugar. I wouldn't ever eat it. How can we as raw foodies possibly trust some huge compan...
