Mara Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Follow Your Heart makes Vegan ranch and thousand island and they are really good. I buy them at Whole Paycheck Foods.Hmm... does it have gluten in it? A lot of those vegan creamy dressings I've been seeing at the store are loaded with gluten and preservatives which means I can't eat them. :( I'm going to make a simple dressing with avocado, blood orange, fresh parsley, garlic all in a blender and see how that is on a salad. :) Don't get too addicted to avocados. They're expected to be in short supply this year as crappy California weather decimated the avocado crop. :( Sucks, because I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing avocados are good for you; I will often just eat a whole one all by itself. Cut it in half, toss the pit, and just scoop out the flesh and eat. :) With or without lemon.

If you dont like guac then I'd say the chances aren't good for you. I even use avocado as a gentle facial masque for smooth, healthy youthful skin. I have a great recipe if anyone is interested... you can eat everything in the masque! Mara I eat raw avocados all the time. I sometimes put a lil Himalayan pink salt on it and just get a spoon and chow down! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Not everyone likes it, but I peel fresh ginger (about 1/2 an inch), slice it thin then put it in my warm lemon water. Ginger has a soothing effect on the digestive tract (as I am sure you're aware) and it also aids in detox. Thanks for this tip, I've been doing it for about a week and it is helping.

John V Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I heard that some of these raw diets contain raw meats along with raw vegetables. I even read that some people are eating raw chicken? I like raw oysters, but would have to draw the line on raw chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even read that some people are eating raw chicken? I like raw oysters, but would have to draw the line on raw chicken. I haven't been eating raw meat because Im TERRIFIED of food poisoning. I have been eating raw fish as in sushi but not every day. Also my raw cleanse is now over and here's what I've discovered. Gluten is no longer part of my daily dietFish is ok for my body to digestDairy is still a problem (no surprise there)Eggs are out of my daily dietI need the extra influx of hemp, chia seeds and sprouts to digest fullyMost of my veggies will still be consumed raw from here on outI need to be VERY VERY careful when eating out about additives, dairy, gluten or certain oils (which sucks)I prefer to make my own food at home (I know what's in there)Sugar is still not part of my diet Going to keep this up for a bit and see if it helps the absorption any more, I think it has already.

Ya_Big_Tree Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks a lot!! Due to this thread, I got salmonella!! You should learn to wash your veggies and dont eat meat that has chemicals, hormones and antibiotics injected into it... grass fed only.Also if you're eating raw meat then you takes your chances... even I dont do that.

condemned2bfree Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Good luck to you, hope the diet works out. Raw diet is excellent. Have done it in the past for allergies and stuff. To strengthen the stomach lining/immune system, we tried the pro biotic diet too. Fermented veggies cabbage beetroot and gherkins, as dairy can cause. problems. The fermented veggies are delicious and a good alternative to the yoghurts. All the best with your new eating regime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, gotcha. Yeah I love Mexican food so much, it's one of the reasons I don't want to move back to Iowa with my husband, his town has a restaurant called "Carlos O'Briens" Well avocados aren't for anybody but I grew up eating them, my great-grandparents had a tree (actually two trees, the male and the female) and it was one of the only healthy things I'd actually eat. I love them plain with sea salt, served with pasta, on sandwiches, etc... We have a place by my house that makes it fresh daily and I'll just go and order it as part of my dinner. Maybe go get some of your favorite chips or tortillas, get fresh ingredients, and then try it with a nice cold soda or beer, so good.
