I have a quick question regarding MSM. Which one do you use? and are you using it for acne or for something else? I have been thinking about buying MSM but I’m not so sure. :)

Day 2 of my water fast. I’m not hungry at all so it was an easy day for me. I have been thinking about food, but this water fast has been easier than my juice fast. Actually, on day 2 of my juice fast I wanted to quit and eat everything. :P I lasted for 3 days so I hope to do the same with the water fast…
After my water fast I will do a few days of a juice fast and go slowly back to...

There’s not much going on today. I began a water fast just to speed up my detox. I don’t think I’ll go over 3 days, but if I do then that would be great. :)
Thank you to the new followers, I’ll follow back!
I have a few recipes coming soon! My mom really liked these crackers I made, she told me it reminded her of these processed ones she used to eat. Stay tuned!

I ate cauliflower and green smoothies all day.
February 22th
I ended my fast today. I thought I could go longer with it, but I guess I had to eat those kiwis! :P Plus my mom was acting concerned about the whole thing and it made me uncomfortable. I hope to do a longer one in the future when I’m ready!
I’m planning on doing my green smoothies daily as always but without fruits, or maybe add a cucumber for my skin. I really hope it gives me good...

You are so skinny, you don’t need to lose anymore weight honey!
Thank you! :) I’m just trying to clear my skin for now. I wouldn’t mind losing more weight, but its not something I’m going to be obsessing about. I just keep the tumblr to monitor what I’m eating and figuring out whats causing my breakouts. >_<

When are you starting the juice fast??
Today! I’m going to juice a lot of carrots, cucumbers, and celery like last time because that seemed to be the combination that cleared my face the most. I need to stick to it. I don’t care about the weight, I just want to clear my skin. :)

how long have you been a raw vegan?
I’m not exactly a vegan, I still consume honey. I started doing this about 3 months ago. Occasionally I would have some cooked beans to put on my salads but I stopped doing that as well.
Ask me anything
dancingfeather--deactivated2011 asked: do you think if i did a raw food diet for a few days i'd lose weight? or should i fast? (i workout a bunch too, like a lot of running, crunches, bike/elliptical.)
dancingfeather--deactivated2011 asked: i'm so jealous you can make all these juices! being at college, i can't. :( i used to make smoothies all the time and i lost a lot of weight. i miss them haha

I completely broke the fast, I think I wasn’t ready. Tomorrow I might feel inspired to try new juice recipes from a raw book I got, but not today. Anyways today was very exciting! My dad made this dehydrated bread and I made this almond cheese so I could make my mom a sandwich completely raw. Well luckily she loved it!!! She said next time I should add an avocado. I was thinking about going...
nishae asked: Hey, I don't want to come off creepy or anything but.. Girl, you are at an ideal weight and that picture you posted of yourself is damn hot. There is no need to lose weight! I'm 5'7" too and weight about the same and my doctor tells me I need to gain some to be healthier. I just worry because I used to have an eating disorder and I was really really skinny. I don't want...

I just finished rebounding for 20 minutes. It says 250 calories. If its true I will rebound all day long! Hehehe, its so fun while listening to music!!!

I was just reading a website on rebounding and I really liked this part:
-Rebounding is 68% more efficient than jogging (as noted by NASA in a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology). Six minutes of rebounding equals one mile of jogging! -Improves digestion and elimination of cellular waste. -Accelerates metabolism to burn calories for weight control. -Increases oxygen uptake and...

im craving warm food
rawyouth:
whats a good raw alternative to brown rice?
What reminds me of the texture and somewhat of the flavor (when seasoned) is soaked and sprouted buckwheat! I love eating it alone, on my salads, with cashew “cheese” or other dressings. :)

Detox
rawpoet:
Hey, everyone!
I’m starting a liquid fast today; for the next few days (or more) I’ll be enjoying water, tea, fresh juices and the occasional smoothie. I’ve been feeling the need to detox, and after a long-overdue (and wonderful) phone conversation with my friend Claire (who’s been in Hawaii since December; lifeintheraw.tumblr.com), during which she told me that she’s been liquid...
