1st
I usually drink Penta water… but as a 100% raw, I’m increasing the amount of water, so it comes pretty expensive. A raw chef told me that reverse osmosi water is not good… and I would like to know why… as I always though (from other experts) that it was good. A gallon of this water is 49 cents at whole foods, versus $12 per gallon of Penta (in 2.99 per half quarter bottle) I love Penta water and I will keep purchasing it, but I would drink more water if reverse osmosi is good, also I would use this one for soaking. If this water is not good, which one is? Do not ask me to purchase an ionizer because they are so expensive.
2nd
We are thinking in getting a fasting for the next month. We want to last it for a week more or less. We are not sure how we must do it. So I will ask the following:
- During the whole week just preparing green smoothies and then passing it through the nut milk bag is considered fasting (there will be no pulp)?
- How about juice fasting? We do not own a juicer so I think that it may be a problem!!
- Wheatgrass fasting is fine? I love it but my wifes dislikes it (well, maybe now she likes it more, as being raw you get used)
- Finally, how a water fasting? How it should be done? I find it crazy! Isn’t dangerous? I know the boutenkos do this fastings. How much should this fasting last.
- We are most like to do the water fasting or the green smoothie as explained above, but can you said me how to compare the green smoothies fasting vs the juice fasting (with no juicer) vs the wheatgrass fasting (my wife may not like it) vs the water fasting (we are very open to this one)
Can you say briefly some pros and cons? Is it dangerous?
This may help. It applies to both of us:
We are: Vegetarian Since: 06-29-07 Vegan Since 07-05-07 RAW 100% Since: 03-31-08
As vegans we ate lots of veggies in stir fries and salads. We only been junkatarians as omnis.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, reverse osmosis water is boiled so it is not raw, i think. Read my raw water recipe by clicking on my picture, I think. That’s what I do.
To answer your questions, I think:
- yes
- yes. To juice fast, all you need to do is blend and strain the fruit with a nut milk bag like with the green juice, if you do not have a juicer. It’s easy enough to me. I did it when I went to college.
-I have only done a 2 day water fast at the most. 8 days juice at one time. There’s so much on fasting i don’t know where to start. Read the boards for information to start, i think.
- I myself do not like the taste of green juice too much so i have been inclined to do fruit juice fasts. Water fast are the hardest, I think. Water fasts are also the healthiest but dangerous unless you prepare, I think.
I’m vegetarian since September 2001 but I still haven’t managed to be 100% raw or vegan so congrats on that fast transition. I do as well during school have a juice or smoothie on me at all times. Breakfast and Diner are when I prepare actually raw foods but carrying fruit around has also helped me out.
