Gall Bladder Cleanse — Don't Do What I Did

[If you're squea­mish, don't read this] I'd been read­ing a bit about gall blad­der cleanses on Give It To Me Raw, and thought "Hey, why not give that a go?" So I did. mMMmm nummy! No, mine doesn't look like this (I'd be in extreme pain if it did). I did a bunch of research, read about 20 dif­fer­ent

How to Make Spirulina Tasty

Ok, so every­one knows spir­ulina is good for you. But so many brands taste like ass (uhh, ok, not exactly like ass). What to do, what to do? Well, I've finally found a way (other than the obvi­ous, mask­ing it in smooth­ies, with tons of fruit, or, you know, buy­ing all the brands out there till you

Food is not Love — but Love is food

Going on a 30 some­thing day juice feast totally kicked my ass. I admit it. I was mis­er­able pretty much the entire time. Worse though was after­wards. I decided to fin­ish by going from juice onto a 4 day water fast (which was eas­ier, oddly). That was ok. How­ever, once the tran­si­tion back to nor­mal food

Cleaning House — Removing obvious food toxins

I've just come off a thirty some­thing day juice feast, fol­lowed by a four day water fast (more on that lot later), and after all that cleans­ing, I started think­ing about what I was now going to be putting into my body again. Why waste all that time by just putting more tox­ins in? So I started
