I actually ate an entire pizza even after I went raw. I would get into these downward spirals sometimes...especially when feeling lonely and I didnt know what to make, so naturally like any addict I would reach for the old vice. It was so amazing to observe how I was acting...I felt out of control really for the first time in my life. <BR/><BR/>Food is MUCH stronger than we ever give it credit for...or maybe its so strong because it has been a lifelong habit. Both are likely the case.<BR/><BR/>The dehydrator will put a lot of fun into raw foods...it will help alot.

It got me curious. Last semester I wrote my comp II essay on Raw. I used your site, (I cited you!)for some of the information. I still read frequent your site because I am so interested. I have to ask. I am 24 and very pretty but I have one burden to bear. My skin. I am always battling my complexion. I saw lots of research and opinions saying there is an improvement in the skin. I do imagine my diet does adversely affect my skin with the sugar and fried foods and such. My concern, however, is the acidity. Did/does the acidity of the fruits and veggies affect you? Dryness, etc? Your skin is flawless.

Try to eat it earlier rather than later...it might be pretty stimulating and is a big heavy. But this should knock out any craving youll have. <BR/><BR/>The ratio? 1 part powder to 1 part coco oil...then add in agave to sweeten. If its too thin, add more powder. Then put it in the freezer for 30 min or so...youll be all set.<BR/><BR/>If I knew that back in the day, I would have avoided many ben & jerry's pints of sugar and mucous. Please avoid that. <BR/><BR/>Much thanks for saying hello...<BR/><BR/>AnthonyAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191035281346536783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-21077937038132359742008-06-04T18:15:00.000-05:002008-06-04T18:15:00.000-05:00Anthony-Maca is my miracle food.

So....I was having extreme female problems, so much so that they were going to remove my plumbing. I had a girlfriend that went in for the same type of problem, she had the operation and said things were fine. She suffered a great deal of pain and anguish during the procedure. I somehow felt deep in my heart that I could find a way that my body could fix it. At the time, I was not raw. I suffered so much that, at times, I thought that I would die. I somehow became raw. Don't ask me how, it was just meant to be. I didn't start maca right away, but somehow during my research I started putting it into my smoothies. In less than six weeks, my problem was GONE. I thought that there was no way that a simple powder could do the trick. I am stubborn, so, I stopped being totally raw and stopped maca to see what would happen. My pain and symtoms came back. After a really bad week, I thought I would have to go to the hospital. I started back on maca with raw and have never had the problem again. I read an article from a doctor that said that the hormones and drugs they give our cows (meat and milk products) digested by us can make us fat just like the farmer does to the animal before slaughter. I wonder what other things it is doing to our bodies. We as women are being used as ginnea pigs and have all sort of problems with our female cycles from our food source along with the chemicals from our enviornment on a daily basis. My friend, by the way, is having problems again. She eats meat and the SAD diet. The operation only helped for so long. So.. I started to ask women that had gone raw what type of reaction they had to maca and their female cycles. No pain, no mood swings, a breeze. I had a young family member that was told by her doctor that her body didn't produce enough hormones to have children. I said "TAKE MACA" she said within 3 weeks her body was normal. So, for me, menopause was a breeze, no surgury, no pain and the mood swings are a thing of the past. I still have my female organs and my young family member can have children. A side effect (or a gift) is I build muscle like I am in my early 20's. I wish I had done this years ago. I would have had a much easier time being a women. Not to leave the males out. Just to let you know, (which I am sure you do) maca is nature's viagra. I was extremely hesitant to introduce it to my brothers, (they can be dogs.. at times.. in a nice way) They both have told me that they are building muscle like they were 20 again. They are having a good love life. (I didn't ask the details). Yes, maca, with raw, is truly a great thing. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>A women that loves being a womenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-12455917235869324672008-06-04T17:22:00.000-05:002008-06-04T17:22:00.000-05:00kate-- wow! thatIS even weirder!it's giving me hop...kate-- wow! thatIS even weirder!it's giving me hope though!

I tried 100% when I started, and although I maintained it most of the time, I still had deep cravings which led to some pretty spectacular crashes. <BR/><BR/>If you are craving...dont feel like its the end of the world to give in. Try to at least have a salad first, then if you are still craving, go for it if you must. Learning how to make raw treats, and especially raw cacao treats and ice cream helped me SO much. The more you know, the easier it is to control.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes always to you.<BR/><BR/>Anthony<BR/><BR/>Tash!

This is what I have done and it keeps me from being derailed from my progress. The reason why raw food is a lifestyle and not a diet is that it is a gradual change as appose to a diet you will do in the short run and then quit because you've lost all the weight. I keep instilling these ideas in my mind of doing gradual changes instead of just going cold turkey. I feel this is the only method that works for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks - RebekaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-60584491488374155712008-06-04T11:39:00.000-05:002008-06-04T11:39:00.000-05:00Anonymous you said: "So, for a person that LOVES t...Anonymous you said: "So, for a person that LOVES to eat and didn't want to give up my food, my waist size (I'm a girl) is 23 inches, and my hips are 33.

You really should try not to feel guilty when you dont stay 100% though, feel great that you are so healthy. If you are close to being 100% then you are doing awesome. If you know you are going to be eating a meal that might not be the healthiest, maybe eat lighter before that meal. For me when I used to feel guilty, that is when I would eat more and work out less. The guilty feelings brought me down. For some, maybe it makes them work harder but not for me. When I know I will be eating something that is denser, or cooked...then I make sure I am pretty empty so my body can try to digest quiker. I dont know if that is the right thing to do but it seems to make me feel better. I actually think that waiting until your stoumach is empty and growling is a good thing. It gives your stoumach and digestive system a good rest which also speeds your metabalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-82474884489712564442008-06-03T17:07:00.000-05:002008-06-03T17:07:00.000-05:00Anthony, excellent post!
