Yeah I would like to lose about 10 lbs then most of my clothes would fit again!
Me too, I only want to loose say 7 lbs. Don’t know if just raw eating will help though as I love seeds and walnuts!
I am very over weight – but have lost 20 pounds this month eating about 80% raw. I lost 10 pounds the first two weeks, and 10 pounds on the Master cleanse for two weeks. I know that if I continue eating raw, the weight will fall off – and I don’t feel like I am depriving myself at all. My boyfreind also lost weight – not even trying – by just eating the food I prepare. I still have 107 pounds to go, but am not really that worried about it, because I know it will come off.
Thanks for your kind words. I don’t expect to keep losing at that weight. I think the first ten punds was kust kind of a fluke. My body just starting letting go of weight at the drastic diet change. Then of course, on the Master Cleanse, that is not normal calorie intake by any means. The boyfriend lost 16 pounds! I do expect the weight loss to taper off to a more normal rate now – but I definately make sure I am taking in enough calories, etc. and trying to eats lots of greens. This really has been a great experience.
I would like to lose about 10 lbs. While I’m at a healthy weight, I have a few lbs of body fat that need to go. The summer is coming up and all… swimsuits… ughh. I’ve already noticed that my pants are getting looser, which is a lovely feeling.
I’m just having a problem with fruit… I usually eat like 3-4 servings a day and I know that I should be eating more greens instead to accelerate weight loss. I need to get rid of my sweet tooth!
karmyngirl: I had an eating disorder and did a lot of sport at that time – you don’t want to have 10%body fat. As a sportive woman 15% to 17% are fine – but just with enough musles!. I am doing lots of sport and researched a lot about this after I began to eat “normal” (raw) again-
Now, I also try to lose weight – I did raw food with mainly fruits (70% at least during a day) last years and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!! Now I am switching to more veggis and greens – your teeth will thank you and your musles too (veggis are high in protein, not fruits!). Most raw foodis are fine with fruit, but if you are in it since a lot term with not enough veggis you will see the consequences – your energy lowers down, your teeth getting more worse and so on. I would never try to be a fruitarian! Thats my opinion.
sports and less fats (especially not to much nuts and avos will work, flax seed oil is one of the best resources in nutrition for a raw foody – I use mostly just flax seeds and the oil and feel better than ever).
