i hope it will balance out, but will i gain weight if im eating like 2600 calories in all raw food?

It has been my experience that you won’t, unless you are eating really big portions of nuts more than once a day, and even then I don’t think you would gain that much. I also went through a long phase of raw where I ate every raw food in sight, but I didn’t gain.

Hey Hannah – I did gain weight after a few weeks on raw and it scared me because I was 100% (and still am – it’s been 4 months) I also met a very renown guru in the raw field who has gained a lot of weight and says she is still raw – I think exercise is critical no matter what diet you are on and it did make a difference with my raw diet – I also had to watch the nuts – it was recommended that I soak all nuts for at least 12 hours which would help with digestion – I also found myself with hard stools – which was helped by flaxseed or apples.
