The ONLY thing that help me (and I have a lifetime of a messed up digestive system) is drinking 1.5-2 liters of water on rising and eating a diet primarily of fruits and greens. I haven't taken any pills or potions teas or herbs. Everything works so…
I take 2tsp Natural Calm brans magnesium powder in a cup of watrm water and guaranteed to go within 24 hours. :-)
That happened to me in the beginning of my raw journey.
I stopped eating the nuts (even though it was just a handful) and my bowel movements became regular.

Carrots are a source of soluble fiber, they provide the bulk which helps push things through and are good for the intestinal flora. Insoluble fiber irritates the intestines (not in a bad way), so the peristalic contractions or whatever happen.

I know this might sound a little strange, but make some carrot pulp by jucing carrots, when your done, you should have approx. 1-2 cups of carrot pulp. Add fresh dill weed, pink salt, and curry powder, if you want to you can also make some raw mayon…
great. really great, actually - thank you for asking! and I devoured watermelon tonight, so hopefully tomorrow there will be some poopage. it's not uncomfortable, actually - more surprising. like others on the thread, i thought with all this fiber i…
For someone who is really constipated, triphala is too weak to make a big difference. Waste of money in my opinion. It takes the time body to adjust to the amount of fiber, but DEFINITELY LOOK UP FOOD COMBINING. If you still have problems after a wh…

Wow, I survived 3 days!
Yesterday ( day 2 ) I drank 1 full glass of my first green smoothie ( kale, strawberries and banana ) and I felt full all day long. I went to this BBQ party but managed to be 100% raw.
Today I had apples and strawberry smoothie, couple dried mango slices and handful ofraw cashews.
oh yeah and I had couple handfuls of raw cashews yesterday as well...
in all I am feeling GOOD.... and no headaches !! ( which I normally get with any new diet)
But I should be watching my nut intake.

Before stats.... scary aren't they?
So I just did my complete physical exam along with routine tests and found that my HDL ( good cholesterol ) was just 37 :( It needs to be atleast 45) and trigycerides 217 which is way more than what it should be ( < 150 ) . I am going to work hard, that is 60 min cardio every day and some strenght training atleast twice a week.

Preparation!
So this is my first attempt towards going raw and I am extreamly motivated and excited :)
I don't even know much recipes so I spent my entire afternoon ( thanks god work is slow these days! ) browsing and educating myself.
I went to farmer's market and got following things to start with :
- jicama ( I had to buy this, all raw food websites talk about it .... and I haven't tasted yet.
- strawberries
- mint, cilantro
- cucumbers, carrots and zuccini and yes squash too
- kale ( I haven't tasted it… Continue

Getting Started
I was searching for raw/living food recipes just to give it a try and came across rawfu blog at goneraw.com and this challenge. I am so excited to find so many people who are already raw-foodies ( I was # 877 when I joined this group ) . I just can't wait to give it a try. There are still 2 days for challenge to start and I have so much to do : search web for recipes, ideas, do groceries, and important of all "commit" to it. :) .....
As a part of commitment, I'll try to post in forums, write blo… Continue

Grrrr, wouldn't you know it ... the "send message" icon isn't showing at the moment for me to send you a copy of the questionaire.
No worries. Here's how to find it:
Go to groups and to the secret pals page. You want the discussion called "Sign up for August Secret Pals!" ... scroll down to the bottom and click on page 5 ... scroll down that page a bit and you'll find a long post from Bunny with the instructions & the questions to answer!
Let me know if you can't find it! =^..^=zU

- Hi Daffodil =^..^=
The questionaire to fill out to get a secret pal match is in the comments over on the secret pal page. It was kinda hidden and I missed it too. (I'll message a copy to your inbox.) Be sure to fill it out ASAP cuz she's still matching people! With a little luck, you'll make it!
No worries. She's working her Bunny butt off on getting everyone a match :o) zU
