I wouldn't be caught dead in an SUV!
Yeah, I felt that way too ... for a very long time. But being a woman and getting hit on a lot when dealing with mass transit and strangers constantly asking if you need a ride, trust me, a car is a...
I don't live in the country. It's suburban and I, too, feel I have the best of all worlds.
Just a 20 minute ride from New York City. Just a half hour from the beaches. And best of all, living in...
Yesterday
Breakfast: a bowl of pasta (ha-ha)
Snack: two organic bananas blended w/raw cacao
Snack: Cell-nique drink (an organic vegan drink that I'm hooked on)
Late lunch: Macro Vegan...
It's Union County. It's really beautiful here. Lots of parks, natural wildlife, deer. They don't kill them in this town, like they do in other towns. The air is nice and fresh. It's a family oriented...
Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote.
I said it represents that in "my area" -- I made it clear it's not that way in other areas.
And yes, they do mislabel things. I do not trust them. If I shop there, it's only for organic produce...
Rawvolta: "The best health ever. Not the rawest boy/girl ever." is the BEST thing I've read on the internet in ages!
It wouldn't be a "grey" zone if I wasn't so damn fussy.
Right on my main boulevard there's a vegan Asian restaurant (but I don't like the service and it's always dirty). There's an Indian...
That's terrific!
I'll never forget the apple and peach trees we had as a kid, but best of all, a fig tree!
Aww, that's what I figured!
I hope someday you'll get to try a tomato straight from the garden :)
Can you get them fresh from an organic garden?
When I was a little girl, I ate so many, fresh from the garden I got a rash on my stomach :)
This is going to sound disgusting, but it's really yummy (even people that aren't vegan or health conscious loved this).
You blend a soft avocado; a banana; and one clove of garlic.
It comes...
Yes, definitely tomatoes! I'm spoiled though. They have to be organic and from the garden. Nothing like a Jersey tomato :)
If I get a salad at a restaurant I always say "no tomatoes" because the...
A perfect salad always includes these colors:
Mixed greens: A base of green and deep purple
Red: peppers
Orange: carrots
Deep purple: Roasted Seaweed (or raw if you can find it)
White:...
Sugarmouse -- Good point, I love New Jersey and am blessed to live in Union County which is one of the prettiest areas with most gorgeous parks. I'm not a Bon Jovi fan but my boyfriend hung out with...
Snievling, you are a lucky woman! For that price I can live on them :)
Yeah, everything is massive expensive in New Jersey. They're probably $6 in New York.
I don't see it as faddy at all. It's all natural organic ingredients and I feel amazing when I drink it. Definitely a difference when I don't drink it.
It's $4.99 but cheaper if you buy a case,...
I'm hooked on this vegan super drink: http://www.cell-nique.com/
They're pricey but I try to have one at least every other day.
Ha-ha, that's cute Sarah :)
Hey Sniveling! So good to see you again too.
It all makes sense in nature. Animals don't eat when they are sick.
I feel like I went against nature doing the Master Cleanse because the...
Statistics don't scare me. I'm probably a lot happier and less stressed than those women ... in fact, I know I am :)
Yeah, that's why I said earlier that food is meant to be enjoyed. :tongue_ani:
I think 79 is pretty darn young. If I was told I'd be dead at 79, I'd be very disappointed. I know a lot of people older than that who have horrible eating habits and they can run circles around...
YUM! That stuff is insanely addicting. I have to pull myself away from it or the entire package will be gone! I found it in a little health food store while on a trip last winter and I put it on some...
I believe everyone is different and you just have to find what works for you.
Personally, less calories makes me look older (drawn face).
When I'm at my perfect weight or a pound or two...
I was never a fan of it. This girl tried to push it on me saying I need it because of the amino acids in it since I don't eat meat.
My body disagreed :)
Hi Miss Bettie!! *wink* Missed you!
Cookey, I am here :)
Honestly, the Master Cleanse wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Out of the 10 days I only felt amazing 1 day, and good for 2...
Reading about your experiments reminds me of a few months ago when I went on a job interview for Tofutti! I was thrilled to learn the company was in the town next to mine. So, I got to meet the...
I see no problem with it, unless you get to a point where the tea (or lack of) is giving you headaches.
Just remember, it's not what you give up, it's what you add to your diet. If you are eating...
I've been doing yoga and light weights at home for over 20 years.
Over the years, occasionally I'd take a dance class, yoga classes, join a gym ... but none of that lasted as long becaue it's...
I'm glad I missed the drama, but I say WELL DONE!
This is the ONLY vegan/health/raw food type community I truly enjoy. It always sucks when people get out of line and start with put-downs and...
Count me in as a Ryden fan too. I saw his "Blood" series in a NYC exhibition a few years ago. It was thrilling.
That is a great story August!
When people try to talk to you, just stay focused and pay no mind to them.
For me, that's why I left the gym ... guys were always hitting on me; women were always trying to be friends and wanted...
I became a vegetarian in 1986 and also conscious of not buying things that tested on animals. I was just not educated enough to be a vegan. The few times I tried, I either gave in to cheese after a...
Hey Roxy!! Wow, that sounds so great! Go Roxy Go!
Isn't it wonderful to work with like-minds! I'm only on my second week and I got my period two days ago. It was the lightest, fastest period I...
!! -- I'll post my journey here for everyone ... and I'll be totally honest, whether it works or not :)
Roxy -- tell me about your new job!! Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!
Yes, I'm a research-aholic when it comes to health! I've read the negatives (just as I read the negatives about Bikram...
Hi Miss Bettie -- I agree, I too love food very much, especially since becoming vegan. I can't believe I don't miss cheese at all!!
As far as the "scam" comments -- I even read what some of the...
Bringing up an old thread here because I'm going to start the Master Cleanse for 10 days beginning April 7.
I'm very mentally prepared for this. I read the book by Stanley Burroughs, which was...
