  • No weight loss?

    Try to keep in mind that you're transitioning to more than just raw foods, but a new way of thinking and relating to food. You're attempting to undo years of what your parents taught you about food and how you chose to relate to fod when you became responsible for feeding yourself. Your body is trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and your mind may collaborate on the defense.

    For those of you who want to lose weight but are not seeing any results, keep track of your water intake, and consider keeping a food diary.

    Yes, fruits and veggies have a high water content and eventually you'll get to the point where you won't have to drink a lot of water, but during your transition, you need to help your body stay hydrated and release any water weight.

    A food diary is also helpful to understand why you eat what you eat when you eat. Track the time, mood, and reason for choosing the food you ate.

    After a week, you can look over it to see if you're eating too much of one thing, or not enough of another.

    And remember, if you want to lose weight, you'll either have to restrict 500 calories a day or burn an extra 500 calories a day.

    3500 calories=1 pound

    Good Luck.
