thanks! janna

Hi janana…I was on a website just recently and read that weight loss thru the raw diet causes your skin to keep it’s elasticity and not hang. It was either “Website Link”: http://www.annettelarkins.com or possibly http://rawnutrition.com Either way, it made me feel better because I have 65-70 lbs. to lose and my youngest daughter is afraid I’ll have a lot of loose skin. When I locate the exact website I read it on, I’ll let you know.

Found the website: http://www.beautifulonraw.com Scroll down and look to the right. You will find in italics an article about gaining and losing weight the quantum way. Click on it and it has the info you are looking for.
thanks sunny! i’m going to go take a look at it right now!
By the time I finally tried going raw, I had already been through some major weight loss regimens and had some very loose skin issues (pretty, i know) However, I found that skin brushing was my absolute best friend, along with eating a larger than normal amount of avo and other fats (which apparrently help skin transition without stretch marks) I brushed every evening and morning before showering and noticed fairly dramatic improvement within about two weeks. It seemed to wake the skin up and get it going, literally.
Regards.
