I have a fast metabolism and am young, so I used to eat anything and everything that was processed, cheesy, salty or sweet! I always ate our and never cooked more than scrambled eggs. Until now, fruit and veggies were the smallest part of my diet. I never thought I could do this, but I am and it's great! I now see the beauty in what mother nature blessed us with and find your recipes easy and very tasty! I just started the colonics and it helped SO much! However, the holistic nutritionist told me to stop eating fruits and veggies together in the GGS - only add a little fruit if I was jucing light greens. She said to eat fruit 30 minutes before on an empty stomach. What do you think? I second that!

That is awesome!!!! Yes, green drinks are where it is at!!!! Greens support our life force and bring overall balance to our whole bodies. The problem with juicing fruits is that you juice way more quantities of fruits than you would ever consume by eating. Only watermelon (with rind!) works as an all fruit juice. Take care and come visit me again, and keep in touch! xx Kimberly Hi Juice!!

It will only further dilute the digestive juices. At that point, you have to wait it out and breathe deeply. If this happens at dinner, the next morning I would NOT eat a heavy breakfast, push on water for a while and when you are hungry have a Green Smoothie. xx Kimberly Hi Laura,

Thanks for reaching out and emailing me. Thrilled to hear you love the blog. :) Your breakfast is great, I would just drink the Green Smoothie first, and if you could wait 20 minutes or so before eating the porridge that would be great. I wouldn't consume them together at the same time. How gradually you make changes really depends on how acidic your body is currently and your current state of health. I never recommend someone become all raw! The cleansing response can be too drastic, and you could feel really sick- and even get really sick if you body is kicking up more toxicity than you can eliminate. Make small steps, and monitor how you feel. If you are going too fast your body will tell you. You can do enemas at home but colonics (gravity centered ones) are done by a colon hydrotherapist. As your diet changes and becomes higher vibration, they are important to pull out old waste and matter. The gravity centered ones are much better than hydraulic pressure colonics in my opinion. Hope that helps and come visit again soon!! xx Kimberly Hi Laura!

We were obsessed, which was not healthy at all because it was even ruining our sister-bond friendship! It has been hard for us to stop that bad habit but ever since we have gone more raw we are realizing we eat when we want to eat and NO WORRIES!! Some days we are better than others : ) but making progress. We have started our own blog to share our journey into the raw foods world. We hope to inspire others like you inspire us! Thanks Michelle Hello Kimberly
