Reply from leigh, Age 16 - 03/10/08 - IP#: 66.57.182.xxx wow thanks. im definitely going to try that. i tried to make to make raw chocolate cupcakes, but the directions said to mix everything in a food processor and i don't have on sooo i tried to se a blender and that didn't work out too well. it wasn't strong enough so it just ended up a big mushy mess...but the mush was still good lol. where did you find the chocolate recipe at?
Reply from Motivated, Age 18 - 03/09/08 - IP#: 24.63.216.xxx omg. i totally want to make a raw pizza- and holy crap- i made raw chocolate last night and ate chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered raw almonds! my boyfriend who hate everything his sister (who eats raw) makes loved it and couldn't tell the diff. between my raw chocolate and real processed chocolate! you use raw agave nectar, coconut oil(i would like to find an alternative to cut down on fat), and raw cacoa powder- it is so easy and delicious and has so much fiber and protien!!!
Reply from leigh, Age 16 - 03/07/08 - IP#: 66.57.182.xxx yea that's like the exact same thing i did. i attempted to eat whole vegetables for dinner and stuff, but that didn't work out too well. except for stuff like celery, and carrotts and corn. but it seems like you pretty much know what you're doing. but omg have you looked at the pictures of some of the raw things you can make? it looks soo good. i really wanna take a raw "cooking" class. good luck!
Reply from Motivated, Age 18 - 03/07/08 - IP#: 24.63.216.xxx thanks! yeah- i'm not planning on buying any specific equipment until i know i will actually use it- so for the next few days i'm planning on focusing on large organic salads and raw nuts and dehydrated berries (dehydrated by trader joes- no me), as well as fruits and i'm planning on having one non raw meal at night which will probably consist of salmon or some other meat...any other suggestions?
Reply from leigh, Age 16 - 03/06/08 - IP#: 66.57.182.xxx yea i've tried to do it. i never went completely raw, but like 50-75%. and let me tell you it was hard. i havent' been able to stick to it.i mean, yea to really do it right you have to eat A LOT of food. and it's not that great. i was basically eating the same thing everyday, which was boring. but i know they have a lot of raw food recipes like cookies that are really really good, it's just a pain in the ass to prepare them and you need a lot of equipment like a dehydrator, food processor, blender, etc. but as far as overall health i do think it is the best way to go. i lost weight really quickly and i used to have bad acne and my skin cleared up. i definitely recommend it. but it's hard.good luck :)
