Not sure aboout the first month, but I went raw in March, saw my doctor in May. I lost about 20 lbs, give or take a few. My doc was concerned, I told him about the raw lifestyle he said...oh? All my lab work came back fine.

I started eating 75% RAW in March weighing 121 lbs and wearing size 4-5 pants. Lost 10 lbs in the first month or so. By June I was down to 101 lbs and looking nearly anorexic, sunken face, bone-y, etc. I saw a picture of myself and decided that I needed to eat some more coconut oil, avocados, and nuts. Been steadily gaining weight back since September. Am back to 120 lbs but fit into 0s,1s,and 2s but my face is full again. Basically exchanged fat for muscle weight. I've also grown an inch in the past year, was 5'2" and am now 5'3", which is somewhat surprising since I'm almost 19. I've also been exercising off and on since march and currently exercising 3-4 times a week with yoga 2-3 times a week. And I actually played on an intramural volleyball team which was really exciting because this time last year I was writhing in pain diagnosed with fibromyalgia. My hand-eye coordination is much improved.

I started doing 100% raw vegan diet about 3 weeks ago and I have lost 26lbs and no longer suffer from bloat. I eat as much fruit or vegetables as I want and trust my cravings. Some days I will desire only fruit and feel sick when I think of vegetables and others its reverse or mixed. I'm 5'10 and started weighing in at 210lbs and am now at 184lbs. When I started I had a desire to rid myself of bloat, but was more interested in the health benefits and facing the fact that shopping for pre-packaged meat was not an acceptable solution for my inability to kill an animal with my own hands. The reason I am able to stick with this life style is because I have more than one motivator and its extremely fulfilling for me to exercise such self discipline.  I want to be a responsible human being that uses the minimal hectares of land/food/water so that I might do my part in preventing starvation in the world. 

     I went cold turkey from beer, caffeine, meat, sugar, table salt(I get sodium from coconuts etc.), and anything else not raw. The first week caused me to be sick, but I knew what to expect and pressed through the migraines and missed a couple days of work over it. Week two I had no more headaches or nausea, but the cravings where very strong. On week three, I still want a cal-zone with warm sugary marinara, but my desire to be a better human is much stronger than my cravings.

I have been vegan since the last week of Jan 2018...I weighed 245 for about the past 25 years, eating whatever I wanted. When I eliminated the animal products from my diet, I began to drop weight, eating as much as I wanted(seeds, nuts, fruits, veggies, hummus, cereal with almond milk, and lots of water). 6 weeks later, I am at 227 and still dropping(without working out at all). I feel great and don't crave meat or cheese any longer, especially since there are so many good vegan substitutes out there. I am grateful for all of the online and local support here in El Paso! This will be a lifestyle for me, from now on.

Originally, I started cutting out certain meat and fast food beginning January of this year. I was on heavy migraine medication for 15 yrs which went away after cleaning out. Then I would go off and on raw, vegetarian, vegan for years but then go back to meat. This is my 3rd week and am already down 12 lbs. Like a lot said, my bust hasn't gone down. I'm still 32 DD. I'm 5"5. I do body building so most of the weight is muscle. I tell people I'm Vegantarian. I don't eat eggs, but I do still eat butter and cheese. I also am not withholding bread and "some" fried veggie chicken. I think if I went fully Vegan, it may even be more weight lost but I'm happy with my progress. I'm losing between 3 to 4 lbs a week. I'm also became re-certified as a personal trainer so I know when the unhealthy weight lost is happening. I'm in a happy place finally, so it's all good!! This is a lifestyle I want to adapt for the rest of my life so yay for me and all of us!
