I have issues with melons too....yup, gotta pace myself & not overdo it!

Christine your comment struck a chord with me. About needing to go on a journey about figuring what's going on deep down. What do you think is the best way to get to the bottom of things - emotionally? Thanks for your powerful words.

Oh yeah!!! Mine too! P.S. Mint is wonderful for the digestion...cure for the cramps, etc. Maybe you could try that combo.

You may want to consider whether your watermelon was seedless...that means highly hybrid and hybrid fruit sugars are really bad for people. Seeded watermelons are not as hybridized but good luck finding an heirloom/open pollinated variety in the sto…

Ditto on the eating watermelon alone. I've heard and read that about all melons. You poor thing, watermelon is one of my favorites!

I agree that you might want to make sure you're eating it alone, on an empty stomach. If you have eaten fats or heavier foods even a few hrs. or more prior (I think I've heard nuts can take up to 12 or more hrs. to fully digest, but you may not have…

Such a shame!!!!!! Watermelon and mint is my fave :) at least you discovered quickly what the source of the pain was :)
November 20
Ah that's interesting I can't eat tomatoes either, but cucumbers seem to be ok I think...or maybe that was part of the problem. But like I said I had a bit out of some watermelon (no cucumber that day) and got cramps. I may have to do some more test…

Why Do You Want to Join Raw Fu?
I really like the idea of a raw diet. I dabbled with a raw diet not long ago and really enjoyed the benefits to it. Plus eating this way seems to be something I really enjoy.

I also have a lot of problems with eating a number of foods, so I want to get back to basics and keep away from processed foods. I would also like to shed some kg, but more importantly I want to be healthy.

Hopefully with encouragement on this site I will be able to keep up my motivation.

Trying part of the raw food challenge

Ok I've been really wanting to get back on the raw food challenge, but realistically I can't do a 100% raw. Nuts is one of my biggest problems and since nuts are an important part of the raw food diet I can't realistically go 100% raw. I get terrible cramps from eating any sort of nuts, I will try introducing soaked nuts slowly and see how I go, but really it will have to be gradual.

I also became very low in b12 last time which made me become quite unwell. I will get b12 suppliments this time… Continue

Raw food becoming to commercialised?

The thing that's been getting to me lately with raw food and "organic" food is the amount of effort that is gone into marketing and packaging. A lot of products are wrapped in plastic, with printed labels (I'm sure the inks wouldn't be that great for the environment). This is kind of making me a bit sad, but also making me think that really I just need to go back to the basics. I don't need all these, gimmicky products. Ideally I just want to be able to get everything from my garden, or from an… Continue

Depression and your Job

Depression caused by your job
My thoughts on depression. I have a feeling someone in our family is about to have a nervous breakdown and go into deep depression. I really feel for the "said" person. I've dealt with depression myself and also seeing my dad go off the rails with his nervous breakdown, which then caused him to go "bipolar". I believe depression, has a lot to do with how as a society we a forced into doing things that we don't want to do, because society tells us we have to do certa… Continue

Today I feel ill!

I'm sorry to be such a downer. I'm not one that usually complains about my health, I just get on with it, but it's really giving me the irrits. At least now I am more aware I how I am effected when I feel ill. For some reason I still feel ill, I posted in the forum yesterday for some solutions for an upset stomach and got a awesome responses. The chamomile seemed to work well yesterday because I was much better in the arvo, but unfortunatly it hasn't seemed to work for today, neither did the gin… Continue

Today I was happy to blog...

Today I was happy to blog...because I was quite good - ROLF!

Ok I wasn't completly raw but I today was the best day in a long while. I think the reason I am struggling is

1) not preparing my food in advanced, like cleaning my veggies and cutting them up.
2) Not having enough calories throughout the day, so I get really hungry toward the end of the day
3) Getting bored with meals. That's my fault because I'm not delving into more interesting recipes.
4) I'm not much into seeds and nuts (plus nu… Continue

Hi ya, I notice you are an Aussie too, nice to have you on board here, I live in Gosford one hour north of Sydney. I notice you asked Lou what blender she was using. I bought a Sunbeam Cafe Series it is very good and strong and very reasonably priced too. Sunbeam also make a food processor in the Cafe Series which I would also love to get (I had bought a cheap food processor for $130 brand new it was really a waist of time better to wait and buy a good one). Dips and stuff I use a mini Black and Decker food processor (which I love I bought off ebay for $6), I also have a magic bullet type thing (I also love) as well and I also use my blank cone on my juicer to make nut butters (love that too). I can't find one appliance to do everything, I feel like 'The Appliance Queen'!!!! My husband shakes his head and just says 'another appliance are you going to use that'. I always do and use them heaps. xxx Shell
