I just wanted to add a link -- apparently cholesterol isn't really related to heart disease after all:

I was thinking it sounds like you need to lower your blood sugar -- because high blood sugar is what causes high triglycerides -- so you would want to reduce the number of sweet fruits and juices, and also increase foods like avocado and greens. I...
Kristy - I just realized/remembered that you started this discussion wondering why "raw" isn't working yet. "Raw", as people credit it for restoring/improving their health, usually means consistently eating AT LEAST 80% raw plant foods & the cooke...
That's awesome! (Although every raw vegan has different needs) I'm just wondering how to measure .01 cup (that's 1/100 of a cup) of ground flaxseed... ;)

I agree with those who've said what you leave out of your diet is more important than what you add in. I think percentage raw, whether it's 50% or 95% is less significant than what's in the % of cooked food you're still eating. 50% raw with the ot...

Kristy, You know, you don't have to do what your dr. suggests... I mean, if you agree, then fine, but if you don't, or want to wait to consider her suggestions, it's your body! Drs. don't even always agree...there's always also second opinions, an...
Wow... thanks for all the encouragement. I went ahead and made my followup appointment for Friday. I am hoping my doctor will suggesting Niacin again (she did before, but I wanted to try the diet only last time) and not lipitor or a statin. I woul...
Profile Information
- How Long Have You Been Raw?
- Just Getting Started
- Why Do You Want to Join Raw Fu?
- I first was introduced to raw foods in January 2008.
I decided to join the raw fu challenge to help encourage and support my commitment to a raw food lifestyle. I would like to meet similar minded people in varying stages of this lifestyle and learn.
Starting August 1st, I am going to put an emphasis on being 100% raw until dinner. Dinner with the family I am going to try to keep vegan with some occasional fish.

Happy day #30 ....
Well, this 10 days has been a bit tough, lots of work stuff happening, school stuff, and just all around things to distract me from keeping up with my blog and eating as raw as I would like.
Earlier in the 10 days I was really excited because I finally saw the scale dip into the 153's, something I hadn't seen in years. It got as low as 153.2 .... meaning I was only 3 pounds from my first big goal. However, due to some dietary indiscretions including probably too much salt (clam chowder), and th… Continue

Saturdays thoughts....
I didn't even realize till Bunny mentioned it today that we are almost 1/4 of the way through the challenge. One hundred days seems a lot smaller when it is broken down into 25's.
As per usual, I woke up and gained this morning. Seems like the way things work with me on the weekends when I have more cooked food.
Today was a really relaxing day, we finally didn't have a million things going on and could really just relax and catch up on the house. I caught all the dishes up and organized my cou… Continue

The weekend is here...
Friday:
Things ended up being not so relaxing as I thought. Daughter went to school late, Home economist really didn't have what I needed, so that was disappointing... but... the evening was fun. Good dinner with hubby and then watched 21. Didn't stay as raw as I would like. ....always tomorrow.
B: OJ fresh squeezed with VMG.
Strawberries/agave
water.
Tea
L: Organic mac and cheese from Home econmist and some flax crackers. Small bite of toll house brownie.
D: Baked potato (cheese/bacon piece… Continue

uZa said… - Hello friend. Thanks for the comment on my video. I was just thinking about you the other day, wondering whatever happened to you since I rarely see you online anymore either.
Hope all is well and that you've settled into the new neighborhood alright. Please don't be a stranger.
PS I'm getting fatter! Gotta get back to high raw.

- good idea!
awesome on the weight loss . . my scale says I've lost a little more weight but to me I look exactly the same in mirrors and photos, and my clothes basically fit the same, so I'm not celebrating just yet.
Things are going well for me. I gave notice on my job yesterday and am all about figuring out "what next" . . or not. Basically still just dealing with one day at a time . . . .

- you keep changing your pic, and then I miss your posts, so stop it! lol
There are so many Raw Fu-Reaks now that I have a hard time keeping up with everything. When I'm only allowing myself ten minutes I tend to skim the images until I come across people I know . . . and that's what I mean that I keep missing your posts.
How have things been going?
