I've been potato chip free a little over 2 years - I had to go check what date I started. (I used to eat potato chips as a meal sometimes.) I've only licked one potato chip during that time and that was during the first year. If only I could find the strength to do the other changes I want to do - go vegetarian and then vegan, with some raw days. I'm such a foodaholic. My son hasn't brought many bags of chips into the house during my chipless time and usually when he did it was because he was going somewhere with them. He hasn't even asked me to buy any. Anyway what I tried to write on youtube was that though I don't have a dehydrator and so I haven't tried them, I found this recipe for corn chips. http://www.ezhealthydiet.com/corn-chip-recipe.htmlShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152156216231166667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-61213989474358045452008-05-18T19:00:00.000-04:002008-05-18T19:00:00.000-04:00Oh gosh, I've so worked on my diet for the past ye...Oh gosh, I've so worked on my diet for the past year and a half.

I have a weakness for tortilla chips because I love all things Mexican but I've learned how to make raw organic corn chips and love 'em! So as others have mentioned there are great alternatives to help you with this temptation. They may not be fried potato chips but they can be tastier and of course, healthier. In our house, we love zucchini chips! My husband thinks of them as popcorn. :) Good luck Bunny on your continued journey.

We're high raw, but thinking of doing a 90-day 100% raw challenge just because of you!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that people are posting uplifting comments regarding your chip episode - and you deserve all that love and support. Goodness knows I've done my damage to a bag of Ruffles and some onion dip all too recently. <BR/><BR/>HOWEVER. I DO have to address the elephant in the living room, and that is that women, who are most often the keepers of the food preparation, do NOT take care of themselves. To eat raw food all by yourself and pack tater chips in your kids' lunches because they are young and/or skinny is, in my mind, like saying you are the only one who can't be "normal," because there's something WRONG with you and not THEM, when what is healthy for you is definitely also what is healthy for them - we're all the same type of human organism. <BR/><BR/>For the difference between "skinny" and truly healthy, read The China Study.<BR/><BR/>Having said that - perhaps you could love yourself enough - and your darling Basil could love you enough - to not bring those dang chips in the house for at least the next 68 days? He can eat them in the car, eat them at his work, eat them ANYWHERE except at home.<BR/><BR/>Just a suggestion.<BR/><BR/>Keep being you! You're such an inspiration.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743965096699903434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-42609062557334682642008-05-16T06:26:00.000-04:002008-05-16T06:26:00.000-04:00That's hilarious.

I can only say that <A HREF="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/01/20/no-one-knows----or-is-telling-you----how-much-toxins-are-in-your-potato-chips.aspx" REL="nofollow">this article on Mercola.com</A> pretty much cured me completely of the desire to ever eat potato chips again in my life. Certainly I still think they would taste good and even ocassionally crave them, however I liken the craving to wanting a drink of slow acting cyanide laced coolaide thanks to the link above.<BR/>I hope it helps you as much as it did me (and my husband, who is not the skinniest man on the planet by any means also eats potato chips and crackers, and zone bars, and, and, and...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-85981859161887869232008-05-15T22:30:00.000-04:002008-05-15T22:30:00.000-04:00(((Be kind to you))) If it makes you feel any bet...(((Be kind to you))) If it makes you feel any better, I can totally relate. What helps me: I envision all of the chemicals that go into growing conventional potatoes and how they accumulate in concentrated amounts inside the potato (since it's a root veggie) and how much those chemicals look like "blue windex" inside those opaque giant plastic "fertilizer" containers...as they sit next to the dirt...where the potatoes are growing...because the "blue windex" is pumped into those crops during the whole growth season. Ewww. Ick. Of course, then there are organic chips.

And you are doing that by taking charge of your health and doing so amazingly well with this challenge.<BR/><BR/>So, here's to dusting ourselves off, finding a FABU raw chip recipe (maybe dehydrate some seasoned sweet potato slices?!?!) and becoming the Raw Fabu Bunny we all know you can be!Carrie Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00543899571974228089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-61038638630289905962008-05-15T20:56:00.000-04:002008-05-15T20:56:00.000-04:00oh Bunny you are soooooooo FUNNY! I just love your...oh Bunny you are soooooooo FUNNY! I just love your videos...you are real and that makes it so easy to relate to what you are going thru :)<BR/><BR/>Remember this...this is not a diet...you are changing the way you are choosing to eat, so you did not flub up your "diet," you just caved a teeny weeny bit on a chip choice and now you are over it :) Just concentrate more about the 31 days of FABULOUS eating you have done for your body and say, "oh well, glad that slip is done and boy am I glad I've been eating so well, will do much better the next thing I eat :)" I definitely think that making dehydrated crackers will help you bigtime, especially if you make them thin, thin, thin and salty. You don't need a dehydrator, you can set your oven on low and open up the oven door. The temp might be a little higher than a dehydrator, but sure is healthier and will fill you up faster too :)<BR/><BR/>Also, when I make a bad choice of what I eat, I make sure that I take a vegetarian enzyme tablet/capsule afterwards :)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your evening,<BR/>StacyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-74396139719779106422008-05-15T20:25:00.001-04:002008-05-15T20:25:00.001-04:00OMG you are so hilarious. The funny thing is here ...OMG you are so hilarious. The funny thing is here I am on my 4th day of my raw food diet, sipping a glass of white wine trying to think of every reason under the sun why it is good for me when I know it is not. You would never believe that my hubby is the same weight as he was the day I met him 25 years ago. Arrrggghh! He can eat whatever he wants but fortunately he is pretty healthy. The worst for me is potato chips or anything savory. You know I pack my kids lunch everyday because they hate cafeteria food and they are healthy and lean (must take after their dad) etc etc. So when I put some potato chips in a zip lock bag for them I am so tempted.....I even want to lick my fingers off, but I know raw is so much better, I feel so much better eating this way. I am just waiting for my dehydrator that I ordered.Anyway you are such an awesome inspiration to me. So potato chips you may need us but we don't need you!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-51857702424027083142008-05-15T20:25:00.000-04:002008-05-15T20:25:00.000-04:00Love the funny video, but sister needs to smack he...Love the funny video, but sister needs to smack herself in the head for smacking you!

I'm not great at making stuff in there, but flax crackers are so simple and delicious (I put chili powder in mine!)<BR/>I soak the flax seeds during the day, and before bed I mix the gel-like flax with lemon juice, salt or nama shoyu (an unpasteurized tamari), garlic (through a garlic press or chopped small) and chili powder. Then spread very thin on your dehydrator teflex sheet and put in on 105. I usually wake up at some point during the night, so at that point I flip the crackers, peel off the teflex and continue dehydrating until morning. In the morning you'll have crunchy delicious crackers that you can break into pieces and dip into that guacamole!<BR/>~MelissaMelissa Sokulskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718476374024208673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880159036265919101.post-23450185424653863172008-05-15T18:53:00.000-04:002008-05-15T18:53:00.000-04:00Hi Bunny - I just discovered your blog/vlog and am...Hi Bunny - I just discovered your blog/vlog and am completely hooked! I own a gourmet cookware store (ironic, I know, since I'm a raw foodist) and used to offer cooking classes - I would have loved to have you as an instructor - you really have such a great personality and infectious energy! <BR/><BR/>I've been raw for only about 14 months now and still have some weak moments with potato chips. We sample some dips in my store and serve them with these really yummy salty, greasy chips and I really struggle to stay away from them!! Actually any kind of potato is REALLY hard for me to resist. Like you, I can be very hard on myself (fortunately I don't have a nun doll beating me up - although maybe I should...), but I believe we can't dwell on it and all we can do it try to do better the next day. And, if every once and awhile, you succomb to the potato chips - so what? It's not the end of the world - it's not like you're gorging on them everday and your overall diet is so healthy and wonderful. You just have to be kind to yourself and realize how great you're doing when there's so many things working against you (like having the chips there in the first place). <BR/><BR/>Another thing that helps is to notice how you feel after eating something you really don't want to eat. I know after eating a few chips or pasta, I feel very heavy and too full. So I try to remember that next time I'm tempted and remind myself that I won't feel good afterward.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there!
