Thank you, I will look into this. I have been wondering what everyone's been talking about when they mention food combining. thanks

in Food Combining? Comment by Girlfridae1

I just checked out the youtube post--really interesting. So what herbs are you taking, and do you take extra iodine so that eating cruciferous vegetables aren't an issue for you?

in Who Has Hypothyroidism? Comment by Girlfridae1

Yep, I've gone off my meds (levothyroxine and liothyronine--both for my hypothyroidism) and felt bad. Why don't you get the book, "Living Well With Hypothyroidism" by Mary Shomon. In the book, she discuss alternative options besides taking levothyro…

Oh AlyssaDyane I am so with you on feeling sad about cooking. I am dealing with feelings about giving up cooking and eating cooked Indian food and so on… I fell of the raw wagon for two weeks recently but you know, it just made me feel happier about…

in fell off the horse, (or broccoli?) Comment by Girlfridae1

Sweetpea and Winona thanks for the usage tip and Pundee—yeah, I thought they’d be dessert-like or something. Oh well, strangely enough I’ve left the bad on the kitchen countertop and just snack on them….

in Cacao Nibs Comment by Girlfridae1

Thanks Chris for clearing up my question. Yeah, I thought they’d be this wonderful ‘magical’ kind of wonder-snack but they just taste like bitter chocolate. Good thing I like bitter chocolate:) Have a nice week!

in Cacao Nibs Comment by Girlfridae1

I try to come on this site everyday and find something that looks tasty to make. I also go to freshtopia.net to find stuff as well. Once a week I try to make a hearty dip and keep veggies handy to dip in to. Also in the beginning, I would take 2 tbs…

Wow. Winona, thank you for posting this. It really inspired me to do my part…:)

in Buying something? Think again. Comment by Girlfridae1

Crazy crazy crazy. So glad I eat living non GMO food. I hear lately about all the crazy things befalling meat and thank God that I don’t eat that stuff either…

in Be Glad Your Raw... GE Sugar is coming Comment by Girlfridae1

Green Smoothies are the BEST! My every morning one is: 1/2 English cucumber 1/2 apple 2 tsp maca powder 1 to 2 tsp spirulina 1 TBS dried coconut Juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime 2 1/4 inch slices ginger 1 small bunch parsely Blend and drink:)

in Green Smoothies! Comment by Girlfridae1

Okay seriously, this site is lame. Under the title is says that eating loads of meat whilst restricting carbohydrates is the way to ultimate health. Sounds a bit like they are into the Adkins diet (which is NOT healthy) if you ask me…

in More for my Dork Collection Comment by Girlfridae1

Mary Shoman’s book, “Living Well With Hypothyoidism What Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You” is a lifesaver. It also made me mad at just how ignorant so many doctors are regarding something that affects so many people. Anyway, I really recommend reading t…

in Hypothyroidism? Comment by Girlfridae1

Hey SophiaRose—it probly doesn’t apply to you, but I have been eating raw and not losing weight either. I remembered Ardesmond2 posting something about a website called fitday.com and so I logged everything I ate for a couple of days and was serious…

in Weight Loss Comment by Girlfridae1

Thanks Pianissima and achin70 for the encouragement/tips. I’ve been feeling really lethargic lately and I am starting to believe it’s cause I’m not eating in balance—memorized roughly 4 recipes I found here and have also been making the same smoothi…

in Nuts and Seeds Comment by Girlfridae1

Pundee I know how you feel. I’ve been eating cooked food for two days now and really don’t know why, but my bloated tummy and general ‘down’ physical feeling tell me that it’s best to go back to raw. I am so listless and sleepy. It’s weird how in tu…

in Fell way off the wagon!! Comment by Girlfridae1

Well I’m still pretty new ‘round here, but it looks like this is a kind of, “everyone post a pic of you and your better half’ so here goes! Sadly, I haven’t any cudly, adorable animals of my own to use as profile pics:(

in Mangers in a Mange land... Comment by Girlfridae1

Okay, well I’ve looked at the ‘goitrogenic’ lists and it does seem like it leaves little for me to eat, but I’ve given up soy so I guess I will take a leap of faith and just eat my greens (maybe not in the morning since that’s when I take my meds) a…

in Hypothyroid and Greens Comment by Girlfridae1

Is anything else happening to you that’s out of the ordinary? If so, maybe you should get your thyroid checked. I am hypothyroid, and I seem to be cold alot more than others. It’s really drab and snowing (!!!!!) here where I live at the moment, and …

in Is anyone else as COLD as I am? Comment by Girlfridae1

Thanks Winona for the kind words. I am really loving this new way of eating and am feeling super positive about the effects it will have. See ya around the forums:)

in Nutrition Concerns Comment by Girlfridae1

Thanks ardesmond/pianissima! I guess if I consider that cooked food was ‘dead’ food than really eating raw is better nutritionally—I never thought of that way! Well for breakfast I have this drink I saw on Oprah called ‘Dr. Oz’s Green Drink’ which i…

EnjoyRaw no worries—I am starting out raw too, and sometimes old habits/cravings die hard… But we are trying eh? :)
