I have only been eating raw for a few weeks. As a emotional eater, I have been on some sort of diet for years. I started this phase with the same mentality. What I did not expect was how great that I would feel! I have been very diligent in making sure I eat enough/ not too much. I have stuck to fresh fruit and veggies. Sure it is a bit boring but the physical effects are just too amazing. I look forward to visiting this site to get ideas and stay raw! Thanks. : )
Great web site!

To Carolyn who posted back in March – A wonderful book entitled, “Eat To Live” by Dr. Joel Fuhrman recommends that we consume one ounce of nuts or seeds per day. That includes those who are overweight. This book is so enlightening! I would recommend anyone to read it and his latest book, “Super Immunity”

Susan, I just discovered your site and am loving what I see. Thank you!

I want to say that you are a true inspiration. Your recipes are far the best raw vegan recipes I have found on internet. I LOVE to “cook”, but I mostly love to get inspired from life and I put that inspiration in my creations and you are an artist with food.
Thank you for helping me through my raw vegan journey – I am not 100% raw vegan… yet

I love the site. I can’t wait to try a raw cashew cheese (I’m waiting for my raw, organic cashews to be delivered). I started 100% raw vegan (formerly 80% macrobiotic vegan for three months, and before that 100% SAD vegetarian for 11 years) on Monday and I am adapting to the experience. I’m not sure how I feel about fermented foods. I’ve read that they become toxic when they ferment (eg alcohol). Is this not the case or is the idea that fermented foods in small amounts is not toxic?

It completely depends on the recipe. I am not sure coconut butter or oil would be a good substitution for the almond butter in the mousse.

Great and informative site!! Question that I have – I am allergic to gluten, dairy, eggs, almonds, peanuts, mushrooms, red kidney beans and pineapple and have been researching and leaning towards eating more raw foods to help with several health issues, so can I substitute almond milk with coconut milk and almond butter with coconut butter? I was interested in the choclate mousse.

Thank you!

Hello “Ray” ! I finally got myself to begin with the “green-drinks” ! Gosh….my first drinks were …gheee…
However , trying to keep them “green” in color as well , with lots of lemon and fresh orange and perhaps a spoon of ” acacia honey ” it’s much better ! But even the grape-blueberry-greens combination of susan is nice. I do add something sweet …..Best off all ; I’ts TRUE ! You feel full of energy drinking them every day

Nice site you have here. I watch Dan The Man McDonald the liferegenerator on youtube. He got me into the raw food movement here. I find myself actually leaning towards being more of a fruititarian. I think its because the green juices I make taste well……horrible. Im going to check out some of the recipes on your site see if I can get some better results. Thanks for the site. I know deep down raw is the way to go. Peace out….

I think one of the biggest myths is that when you eat raw, you don’t have to worry about how much you eat. If you are trying to lose weight, you will need to adjust what you are eating. Everyone is different. Some people can eat what ever they want, including lots of nuts, etc. I can not. You have to experiment and stay very balanced to find your “sweet spot”.
