Dinner dilemma!!!

2014-09-11T18:13:10.000Z

Okay guys I need some help, when it comes time for dinner I either want to have fruit or want to have some greens and lately I've been really craving some zucchini noodle salad and the works but every single time I eat the salad I feel really bloated in the morning. This does not happen when I have a huge Fruitvale but always happens when I have a huge zucchini noodles salad. Is it because I'm not used to having salad as much as I've been having all fruit days? They contain no overt fats and are within 80 1010 standards. I do have them late at night and right before I go to bed could that be a problem? I usually don't have this problem when I eat fruit though. Please help I've been a raw vegan since July so maybe it could be that I'm not used to it but I've been on the high carb vegan life since last year but then for a couple months I fell off the wagon and again this January and I was still raw till four. Please please please help if anybody knows what I can do maybe drink more water or eat earlier but I don't know if those are the problems! I wake up VERY bloated

Stomach Pain

2014-07-09T19:57:10.000Z

I've been eating vegan for quite some time now and have been slowly working my way to a raw till 4 lifestyle. But I'm running into some problems at lunch time. I love my morning smoothie and my cooked stir-fry for dinner but I can't seem to make it through lunch. I bring so much raw fruit but it really just makes my stomach upset. It almost feels very acidic. I've tried salads as well, but I get really awful cramps. My fruits are not acidic fruits (I've done strawberries and bananas, green salads with raspberries and cucumbers... etc.)

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can make these pains go away or if this is just my body adjusting?

Thank you!

Desperate for Dressings!

2014-05-25T20:10:56.000Z

Hey everyone, I love salads with tons of veggies, but I have not found a good low fat raw vegan dressing that I like. I used to do creamy asian dressings, or balsamic vinegar. I'm not really digging just lemon juice and I've tried blending up peppers and celery and spices but I can't find a good tasting combo! Recipes or ideas??

Asian Cucumber Salad

2013-08-03T16:22:13.000Z

Hi fruities :)

I have been growing my own organic garden and there are SO many cucumbers right now that I've been getting really creative with my handheld 'noodlizer' (lol I don't know the proper name ;P) and marinated cucumbers are just so great! I haven't seen any other lfrvs out there trying this out so I thought I'd share my favorite summer salad with you all!

I use about 5 large or medium cucumbers and spiralize them, 1 super sweet and ripe mango, a few muddled and chopped fresh basil leaves (optional), fresh lime juice from 1 lime, raw coconut nectar (about 2 T), 2 chopped green onions, and 2 large garden tomatoes (I love yellow ones best!), chopped.

Everything except the coconut nectar goes into a large glass bowl to marinate in the refridgerator for about 20 minutes. Then it's important to strain our salad through a large strainer and let it sit for a few minutes in the sink, because the cucumbers are so juicy that the bowl with be half water if you don't! After straining, transfer back into your glass bowl and add the coconut nectar, and toss. Sharing is optional, lol! ;)

The Dark Side Of Tomatoes

2013-07-24T13:32:54.000Z

Hey everyone, I've recently been researching whether I should eat tomatoes or not in regards to their affect on the body. What I came up with is that they are acid forming and cause inflammation in the body, especially in people with arthritis. This makes me so sad because I love love love grape tomatoes as a salad dressing on my salad......Anyone have any farther knowledge on tomatoes or alternative salad dressings? Thanks!

Meal planning

2013-05-18T06:26:18.000Z

So, I have just eaten a meal of 5 mangoes, 1 kilo of grpes and 5 bananas. It is 5pm now and I'm going to eat veggies salad. Should I wait or I can eat it right now? Salad will consist from lettuce, cucumbers, bell-peppers and dressing will be lemon juice, tomatoes, zucchini. I could wait for an hour or two but I don't want to eat so late at night cause I plan to go to bed at 10pm.

Bad combining?

2013-04-15T06:50:34.000Z

Yesterday evening I had a salad consisting of a small avocado, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, carrots, coriander and chopped garlic with lemon juice dressing. Afterwards I felt quite bloated and gassy. Is this bad combining?

Two new things that make me happy :)

2013-03-24T07:58:10.000Z

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to share that I have FINALLY found a way that I enjoy greens! I made a savory salad last night with romaine lettuce with fresh parsley, red bell peppers and scallions and LOVED it! I loved it so much that I'm going to make it again today for dinner, only this time I'm going to try it with lamb's lettuce instead of romaine and with dill instead of parsley, I'm excited to see how it goes. :) Only one thing that's a bit annoying is that it's hard to get rid of the way my breath smells from the scallions, lol. :D I'd be thankful for any tips. ;)

The other thing that makes me happy is this being my third day of not having any more muscle pain and I haven't even ordered my vitamin-D or my figs yet. :) I still want to order them though. And regarding my rehabilitation-sport, I'm still going to make an appointment there, so that I can start.

Salad Dressing for sensitive stomach

2013-03-02T14:40:32.000Z

Hi everyone!

Would really appreciate any yummy salad dressings (or salad mix) ideas that are free from:

- acidic fruits/veg

- high oxalate or lectin content

- nightshades

- and generally suitable for leaky gut/colitis (i.e. gentle, mild, easy to digest foods)

May be a challenge I know, thanks so much for your help!! :o)

I bit my lip again

2012-12-23T18:20:37.000Z

I didn't expect that going raw was gonna be that dangerous, but turns out that I bite my lower lip once or twice a week when eating my salad. It just happened again. It is quite annoying, sometimes it bite that badly it hurts when speaking or smiling. Anyone experiencing the same?

Do you like your salad?

2012-12-04T21:18:25.000Z

I've been eating this evening salad for 1 an hour now. Lot's of chewing, I guess I will gain the most muscle on my face :) Usually I have a salad of spinach, iceberg or romaine lettuce, cucumber, red peppers, red onions and tomatoes which makes about 800-1000g in total. And to be honest the last 10-20% tastes rather boring. I am amazed that some people can eat giant salads. I like fruits the best.

How much salad do you eat regularly, and do you still enjoy it after 1 hour?

Sweet Raw Juicy Salad Dressings

2012-09-07T01:00:49.000Z

http://yt.cl.nr/PudVBqT-JWk

I am a sweet juicy salad fanatic. After a long day of eating fruit, there is nothing I want more that more sweet fruit poured over a bed of leafy greens! This is SOOO easy and satisfying, I do not know why everyone doesn't do it... Get creative, use seasonal, ripe, raw, organic, juicy fruits, or even non juicy fruits (just add water), and combine this delicious and nutritious sugar with different herbs. Be careful on the herbs, a little goes a long way! My favorite herbs to play around with (in moderation), are mint, parsley, cilantro, marjoram, basil, dill, and chives. You can also experiment with some lime, especially mixed with papaya or mango, or both! When I was at the Woodstock Fruit Festival I was extremely surprised that Chris Kendall and Megan Elizabeth did not make more SWEET dressings…WTF? THey are still amazing and I am greatful for all their hard work. The mango chutney that Megan made was delicious, but wasn't "supposed" to be a dressing. Hahah? Why do 80/10/10 raw vegans not jump on the sweet salad train!? I've been on it for more than a year now and life is grand =) For people in transition that need more stimulation, you can add a little bit of raw garlic or jalepeno peppers, however, I have avoided these strong flavors for a while now that my mouth is much more sensitive. I make these salad dressings all the time and people on the SAD diet, aka people who's taste buds are no longer functioning, guess wrong 9 times out of 10 how the dressing was made. But they still love it! Check out the TIPS at the end of the Video, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Forget all that nonsense about nightshades, moderation is key, and if those extra flavors keep you on the 811rv path, then that is a much lesser evil than not getting enough calories in my opinion. Get creative =)

Fruity slaw

2012-07-03T20:47:18.000Z

I have a favorite salad I have been eating for years that I'd like to convert to lfrv. I'd like your input on what to change, if needed, and if something in here is "bad" for me, then please tell me why cause I need the info. Thanks - here goes:

I put the food items into a running food processor through the chute and keep hitting the Pulse. The big items need to be cut into chunks, then shove in the shoot in the following order:

4 pitted dates, pulse til finely chopped

then add

1/2 carrot

1 or 2 stalks celery

1 apple (can use pear)

1/2 cup berries (blue or raspberry are best!)

1/4 cup cilantro and/or

1/4 cup parsley

when done, put it all in a bowl, squeeze some lime or orange juice over it and dive in.

I'd like to know if anyone tries

Tahini Apple Salad Recipe

2012-06-26T01:16:40.000Z

My husband made me an amazing salad tonight that was just too delicious not to share! It sounds odd, but it tastes fantastic. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 head romaine lettuce

2 medium Gala apples (if you can't find Gala, try to get a sweet and sour variety)
1 tomato

1 or 2 green onion tops

the juice of 1 and 1/2 lemons

2 Tblsp tahini

a sprinkle of dried oregano

Chop lettuce, apples, tomato, and green onion tops, and put into a big salad bowl. In a cup or other small container, stir about 1 tablespoon of water into the tahini until smooth, then add lemon juice and stir again til smooth. Pour over the salad and sprinkle with some dried oregano. Mix it all up and eat it! It's soooooo good!!

Free salad herb growing everywhere

2012-05-28T20:53:02.000Z

Well, it grows everywhere around here anyway. It's Aegopodium podograria/goutweed/bishop's weed/snow on the mountain and it looks like this:

This is the variegated variety that's so often used for low maintenance gardens. It tastes like a mild parsley (it's in the same family). You can cut it heavily and it'll grow back no problem. Like the name says, it's basically a weed. And like most greens, best eaten when young.

First day high carb low fat (kind of) I need some guidance!

2012-03-30T00:09:13.000Z

Hey all, today was my first day doing 80/10/10 and man was it tough! I failed a little bit too towards the end of the day. I started out with lots of fruit in the morning, had a soup for lunch, lots of smoothies. I ate so much and yet I couldnt get satisfied. Here were some things I experienced:

Cravings for cooked fatty foods. Even the smell of my boyfriend's chicken was appealing! (yes, I'm ashamed )

When I was hungry I would eat fruit but the sugar was just too much for me towards lunch time that all I wanted to eat was veggies.

For dinner I ended up eating a whole avocado and a salad with tahini dressing.

In total today I've had around 2 avocados, 2 tablespoons of tahini and a handful of sprouted pumpkin seeds as far as fats go. (I just love avocados!)

I dont really like the way I feel now. I noticed a difference between eating all fruit and greens and eating fats. When I eat the fats I definitely feel more sated but I feel like the food is just not getting digested.

My question is how do I combat those cravings? Will they go away? I really did put down a crapload of fruit, for real. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Or maybe this is normal? Help!

HELP i need salad dressings!

2012-03-28T17:26:02.000Z

I just went raw but haven't found any salad dressings that work for me. Do any of you guys have a great simple recipe?

how to get more greens in

2012-01-24T01:01:26.000Z

I've tried to like lettuce and spinach, but I just have a hard time eating it. I especially can't stand spinach. Before 811, I loved salad, but I always put some greek dressing on it. I've tried a few raw salad dressing recipes, but they haven't made me like eating salad any more.

Today I put one kale leaf in my tomato soup which turned out tasty, but I know one leaf won't cut it.

Any more ideas on how I can get more greens in, or how I can learn to enjoy them?

SERIOUSLY? Is my organic salad GMO?!

2012-01-15T18:01:20.000Z

Uggh, what the eff. I was looking forward to enjoying this too. I got some "Fresh Express" brand "Organic Biologique" spring mix mesculin, and it has the number "82369" on it. This is not the the zip code as that is clearly printed elsewhere. Looks like I'm not gonna eat this... Any comments? I wasn't expecting this, I thought it was only corn, soy, and papaya in hawaii that was GMO. When did salad become GMO??
