I know there are four groups of food that should not mix? Where does dariy fit into?
I think dairy is something people avoid in any detox diet.

And does it help with weight loss/ skin care, etc? It worked great for me last time, I am just curious what anyone else has experienced. Thanks!
I am mostly raw, but I don’t follow "the" diet, making all the fake foods. I eat alot of raw vegetables and some raw fruit. I try to stay about 80 to 90 percent raw, with just a few lightly steamed or roasted veggies, and some quinoa , bean and rice dishes. I am crazy for raw radishes and baby carrots, and nibble on them throughout the day, sometimes with homemade hummus made from sprouted chick peas. I make lots of homemade sprouts too. My skin is perfect, I need no makeup, my hair is long, thick, curly and shiney, and my natural nails look like I just came from a manicurist-thick, long, and clearly healthy. I love raw foods, and feel much better when they are the bulk of my diet

I have read a lot about fasting for detoxification and for weight loss (I am interested in the benefits of both.) I have a clear understanding on the effectiveness on fasting for detox purposes however I am not sure about the effectiveness for weight loss.
Has anyone ever fasted (raw food & juice fast) for weight loss? What were your results?
Fasting can be good if you can stick to it and not get cranky without real food. I fasted in the past and lost weight and feel good afterward. But it was not my intention to fast. I was in an accident and spent most of the time in bed, and medication from the doctor makes me fall a sleep, and totally lost my appetite. The weight came back after I eat normal again. But I was not heavy to start with. But fasting was a good experience, I didn’t feel bloated or have to deal with food that doesn’t agree with my stomach.

I have two wonderful cats, one is just over a year old, the other is seven years old. I am ready to start feeding them a raw food diet, but after having them both on strictly kibble diet all of their life, I am unsure as to what I should start them on. I have had people recommend chicken necks and wings, but I was wondering if anything else would be good. I would like to stay mostly in one protein source, at least at first.
Any ideas?
Lol! when I said I would like to stay in one protien source I ment until they had gotten the hang of a raw diet. So maybe for a week or two.
That might be a good start. Since they are used to crunching on kibble – if you chop necks and wings into very small pieces they might try it.
Those items are good and are NOT a properly balanced diet for cats so you have some things to learn there. You can try to see if they will eat a quality canned food such as Wellness. They may not recognise ANY meat as food.
There is a Yahoo group called Whole Cat Health and I would suggest you join it. The members are feeding raw or converting their cats to raw. The list owner is very knowledgable about cat nutrition.
I have been feeding a raw diet for eight years now. I use a supplement powder I get from Feline Instincts with ground chicken and ground turkey. Felice is the owner of the company and very supportive to her customers in helping them make the conversion.

She is a pit bull. this will be her first time on raw foods does anyone know of a website to calculate how much to give her?
You should feed 2-3% (between .54lbs and .81lbs – depends on her activity level, she will probably add muscle on raw, so judge her weight by her waist), 80% should be meat, 10% UNCOOKED bones, 10% organs (w/ about 5% of that being liver). I started raw last winter and saw a big improvement in my dogs coats and over all health, though lately they’re picked up fleas (yay…….).
I would highly reccomend joining the raw feeding group on Yahoo! groups. One is called Raw Chat, the other is just called Raw Feeding. Both have a ton of links and very helpful people!

I am doing a 21 day raw food detox during which I am not consuming anything that has been heated above 110 degrees. I’m eating fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and no, it isn’t going to kill me. If you would like to follow my progress, visit http://www.michaelwrites.com or subscribe to my video updates.

http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com – It’s election day in the US, but I’m more concerned if you have more fat in your raw food diet than who wins…
Right after the show today I walked down to the local school and cast my vote. As much as it counts, I still wonder if it really does… but that’s just my own hang up! 
Anyway, some great questions on the blog that I answer today.
We’ll talk about late night eating, some follow up on the candida research that I’ve been doing, and I’m also going to talk about the right amount of fat a raw food diet should have.
Take a look…
