Omigosh! I'm coming over for cake. MMmmmmmmmm.....

I made a date nut torte that was simular to this. The frosting was lemon juice and dates. It didn't look that good though. The frosting sure was good though!!!

Cairidh, So, you were eating only fruit? No fats? If you were eating all that fruit with no fats, it was probally a blood sugar problem. Wai and RRM said you get sufficient proteins just from eating fruits alone. The whole idea is to use the nuts and avocadoes to balance the blood sugar from the fru...

CG- you are not alone. I also crave sugary things when I eat a fatty meal. Maybe it's the body trying to level our energy. I'm not sure exactly why it happens but that's what I came up with. It usually hits thirty minutes after I eat a non-sweet meal.

If I get too much olive oil the same thing happens to me. Just try drinking it with the oj and eggs only. Also, try mixing some saliva with the drink before you swallow to get some digestive juices going to help with digestion. I read in one forum that I go to that you should "chew" your liquids and...

Sula, you are too funny. I'm packed too, so if any one leaves me out....

I know exatly what everyone is saying. It's usually the social aspect of the diet that sidetracks me. I would have to replace my whole life to be not tempted. That is where will power comes in.

Bambi,

Are you sure I don't know you? lol That is EXACTLY what I talk about to my boyfriend all the time. He even jokes about it! When I get stressed he'll say, "just pretend you are on your island, naked in the sun!" Wouldn't that be the life?

Bambi- I hear ya. I'm sorry to hear about your great-grandmother. We just found out my grand mother has lung cancer. I hope you cheer up soon! In what you said about fruits, fruit that is good, meaning juicy and sweet, is a big factor in my staying raw. Where I live there is a good selection, but I ...

Hi Sher! Wellll, let's just say that I have been working on it! :) I started doing weights once a week and it's helped a lot. My deal is that I have to be really strict for the diet to work. I went 20 days 100% straight a month ago and it made a huge difference. I couldn't hardly see it at all. So, ...

Cairidh, Actually, I have that book and I've read it. I've read several raw books and I know so much about what cooked food does to your body that I can't believe I still even want it! I know that if I can just get off the stuff long enough, that the cravings do go away. I mainly eat cooked when fam...

Hi Amber! Well, I have known about this diet for two years come April. I am a big time health nut and I have been trying all sorts of diets until I found out about Wai and RRM's research and it was like I finall found the truth. It's funny but I never had to worry about cellulite until a year or mor...

Today was a much better day but then I started craving Indian food. That is what I crave, spicy foods. I haven't gone off the deep end yet though! I think I just need to keep my self busy like everyone suggested. Sula, I now know for a fact that is why people are so addicted to processed foods, beca...

Are you drinking any teas or coffee? That will cause yellowing as well. I don't think the orange juice would cause that. I've noticed when I don't consume munch food my teeth are a lot whiter. Mabye it's the kind of munch foods you are consuming. They change the ph of your saliva. That is how the te...

Hi everyone! Okay, I need some suggestions for fighting cravings. I was doing so well, no munch food, for over 20 days. My boyfriend brought over a pizza one night, my weakness by the way, and I have been eating munch food every since! I thought I would have a piece or two, very bad idea. I really d...

The calcium reqirements on this diet are different than on the standard diet. Your body automaticaly adjusts the absorbsion rate for what ever nutrients you need. When you are on a standard cooked diet, not only do you need more calcium but more of other nutrients as well due to the acid/drying natu...

Thomas, I have definatley noticed this as well. When I look at a man now, I see thier diet errors in thier eyes and skin. Silly I know. I'm finding it harder to find a man attractive, expecially my age. I still look like I'm 25 and they all look 45-50!!! I'm 36. I'm dating a man that is three years ...
