I live in on the east coast where it get below zero sometimes during winter. Is it still healthy to eat a raw diet in the winter? I lived in southern Cali for a year in experimented with raw foods and I swear I did NOT have any food graving and felt totally full, but when I went to a raw food resturant in N.Y during nov. I feel like I was constantly craving cooked foods. I really really want to go raw. Can I still go completly raw in cold wheather?

Do the best you can when you can! At-least have a smoothie or fruit for breakfast the best way to start the day. Have a big huge salad for lunch. By dinner you might be craving warm food. So have organic steamed veggies, potatoes, veggie soup, veggie burger. Get a vegan cookbook and finds some easy recipes to satisfy your cooked craving. You might find with time they go away. The more resist something the more we want it!

I got it at Ross. I saw a really nice one for under 30 bucks at Costco and it is nicer than that one!

When did you start eating raw?

Did you see any improvements to your skin, hair etc since you started?

Can you tell me what book is the one that says that you can eat fruit from 8-12 this might be the book for me. I have been on a raw diet but fruit was not allowed for the first faze of the diet. Thank you Diane

Cayenne powder on all your food, eat lots of jalapenos & raw habanero sauce & wasabi, that should warm you.

I like my eggs raw but idk about eating raw chicken & beef, that's kinda weird! Cavemen invented fire for a reason...

I think in the winter you shouldn't. Because raw doesnt have much fat and a cup of warm cooked food does help you. I live in Canada and in the winter you can lose weight while eating more, and raw food you'd have to eat all day non stop, to get what you need.

great stuff. I've been juicing for 20 years way before i got CFS this year. i go 50% raw with my expensive vitamix from costco. i love the super nutritious smoothees it produces with all the fiber intact.

What do you like to use for protein in the shakes? I use vanilla Biochem ultrafiltered whey protein isolate as it mixes and tastes so good with the rest. Do you think raw food "juicing" directly helps with the mito enzyme dysfunction in CFS? let me know if it has helped you. thanks doll!
