  • well my hair was never dry LOL-it’s always been SOOO oily! But if i rinse it twice a day and use some baking soda and acv 2 x a week, it’s dealable. Hopefully, it will get even better!
  • I am on day 6 and my hair is FINE!!! I do have to rinse it twice a day, and I’ve used baking soda rinse and ACV once each during that time, but otherwise, it’s not NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be…and would you figure??? My hair isn’t falling …
  • thnak you so much—i am on day 2 of no poo and it’s not AWFUL. My hiar feels greasy, but not nearly as bad as i thought. I will definitely try the lemon—great idea1!!!
  • Hi- queenfluff—i was thnking about your rec to go no “poo, and while i initially resisted..perhaps my hair doesn’t need shampoo anymore, and it’s gettin dried out from it…now that I am raw, I mean. I might try no ‘poo for a couple weeks, although it…

    in hair loss?? Comment by nycgrrl

    in hair loss?? Comment by nycgrrl
  • awww you poor thing!! I hear you about the ‘detox’ thing…but in this case, it might be. Simply because the Mayo website talks about how hair loss can be caused by a sudden change in diet or something like that, but doesn’t manifest for a few months.…

  • Hey all! I did this challenge last month, dropped out during the last part of june and July as i felt I was unable to get my fat below 10% and so was “failing” (I eat some overt fats like oil, not a lot but a bit) and over the last month, have been …
  • I just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is doing. Sounds like everyone is experiencing really different journeys. Fascinating. I am not doing 811 now, but it was really an eye-opening experience. Good luck to all of you.
  • I consider myself high raw. For example, today we celebrated my 6 year olds birthday and my 3 year olds birthday—double party woohoo—and I had a bite of his chocolate cake. Sometimes, but not in the past few weeks, I eat some quinoa. I have cacao so…

  • thanks angie and elliot :)
  • hey there i am weaning off lexapro too. in the last 8 weeks i have gone to 1/2 a pill every other day. i am doing it slowly. i am eating 80-90% raw, and i quit coffee too ( that’s a biggie). Eat flax oil or flax seeds, as well as hemp seed s and or …
  • ha elbo! well, my only ‘sin’ is liking udo’s blend on my salads. I don’t eat many nuts, I don’t eat much avo. I am away from home so not calculating my percentages, but I am curious to see where I am at when i get home. still debating on the ‘eating…
  • wow angie—really? and you’re not gaining weight? hmmm…veddy interesting…
  • you’re probably right elbo, which is why i am not eating those fats right now LOL. i am eating more like 1/2 tsp of olive oil and a bit of avos every other day. i think i need to up my calories-i just love my simple salads so!! and i’m not hungry! s…
  • elbo-you’re right about the energy. i am going to stop thinking so much about things. and just eat. raw! no more worrying. I’ve been thinking too much and not feeling enough. being away from my home, my blender, my frozen fruits, has made things har…
  • thanks angie-i find gabriel cousens very interesting myself! elbo-it’s all good—i am sorry you felt antagonized on that thread—didn’t mean that at all. just sorting things out for myself. and you know what? i was running today,and in the middle of m…
  • thank you sara! i am beginning to think like you, but for me i think more like 20-25% fat is right for me. it feels right in terms of my day, i don’t feel dissatisfied or hungry, and i can eat my salads with a bit of flax oil, which i am consuming f…
  • thanks everyone. I know i am obsessing about this. el-bo-you know, I did feel good doing 811, but i wasn’t really doing it—i was still at 17% fat for the week, and was adding a wee bit of olive oil to my salads. So I don’ tknow. I do want to feel go…
  • i have the “green bags” (don’t know what they’re called, bought them at bed bath and beyond) and they are GREAT. I reuse them so they’re cheap, and they keep my veggies lasting waaay longer, like up to a week in the fridge. Highly recommend.
