Congrats! I just started on my raw journey a week ago and am about 50% raw consistently. I am loving every single minute of this! I love how much better I feel physically, and am amazed by how quickly my body has detoxed from the sugar.

Keep up the great work & I wish you all of my best!

YAY YAY and YAY! I live in Dallas TX and today we got TONS of snow…tons for us anyway. It has been harder to eat raw this winter as it has been a really cold winter. Add to that I took a tropical vacation at the end of last month and then coming back to this…I was starting to think I had S.A.D.! No more, I’ve given up coffee for now (doing a 21 day thing w. a friend) and even though I’ve slipped a few times, I’m finding ways to over come. Keep it up though you can sooo do this. BTW, this is by far one of my fav raw sites..awesome pics, great recipes, great content. KUTGW!

This is my first winter, in Illinois being all raw. I am loving it. I am not cold as I was previous years on a cooked diet. I even continue to go outside for a walk most days. The thermostat is set lower than normal and I have not had the need to wear tons of layers. I feel it could be due to improved circulation and continually feeding my cells hydrated foods. I wish you the best.

You go girl! This is my first winter 100% raw. I’m amazed that it’s been relatively easy. So you’ve got my support.

my hands and feet were always cold when i ate cooked food. the first few years i was raw, i found it ‘enticing’ to think of eating a little nice warm/hot soup but i finally connected my cooked soup to lifelong poor circulation. so instead of cooking soup, now i blend cuke, celery, onion, carrot (as a base), add greens & some other vegetable(s) for flavor (and to cover lots of nutritional bases). sometimes i add seasonings if i find one interesting at the moment — herbs, curry, spicy peppers, etc. i’m eating far less salt now. am feeling comfortable this winter… but i don’t live in the snow.

I get the forms at my local cooking store. There are a lot of online stores you could check out if you don’t have anything local. As far as the crust goes, some of them are dehydrated, that might be a crust you like better. I like to do crusts that are not dehydrated sometimes so that people who don’t have dehydrators can still make them.

I tried your banana tartlets and they are delicous. What can I do to keep the crust a little crustier? Mine are usually soggy.

Also where do you buy the forms for your sweets, or also the vertical stacking?

PS You have a fabulous website. Thank you so much!

I am so excited about this! I am going to follow you! I was told just yesterday by my new colonhydrotherapist that his raw food clientele are the sickest clients that he treats and that eating raw food in the winter in actually really bad for the body. He has 30 years experience and is advocating ayurveda and he even mentioned butter. He says eating seasonally is optimum. It made sense to my mind but not to my heart. I did not want to argue with him because he was clearly speaking from a place of ego with all of his qualifications, etc. So does warm food actually warm the body? Is raw food damaging to the body in winter? I am in total support of your challenge and can’t wait to hear what you experience each day! I am reading ANASTASIA right now, she lives in Siberia and she only eats raw food. I believe her.

Good for you! I’m in the very same boat (only I’m starting a 90 day challenge – all raw). I’m so excited and am looking forward to feeling great! =) So, I’ll be checking in here to see how you are doing and cheering you on all that I can.
