• i ate some celery soup with a bit of olive oil and avos, and a big green salad tonight, and I feel uncomfortably full. But I think it’s because I’ve been undereating for the last week?

• thanks dorian don’t and kelleys for the kind words! Right now I am running 4 days a week, anywhere from 2-5 miles at a time, so usually 20 minutes to 50 minutes. But REALLY, the raw thing is what’s changing my body, because I only starting exercisin…

• Be sure you lower your fat content a LOT. I had a belly (2 kids later…) and I got rid of it (most of it) using a high raw, low fat diet (like 90% plus raw). My pics are here: http://www.giveittomeraw.com/forum/topic/show?i…

• I would get rid of the tofu and tempeh, and try using nutridiary. I’ve been using it for a few days, and it REALLY opened my eyes about the amt of fat i was eating. You might be surprised! nutridiary.com is the addie, it’s free. http://hillaryheidel…

  in WATERMELON: I gorge myself. Comment by nycgrrl
• hey el-bo you know, it’s funny. I basically agree with the principles of 811. what i don’t agree with, if I am being honest, is eating that much fruit. For ME, I mean. I want to try and achieve those proportions, or something close to it, by eating …

• hey ejo-i think if you want to eat some nuts, do it. Don’t have 2 cups, but have a few if it will help cut the cravings. Found an old article that was interesting to me, and I thought I’d share. Not saying it’s all correct,but I found it interesting…

• Jackiev we are out near montauk—lots of fruit and veggie stands out here. I just ate like a pound of spinach and some watermelon earlier and chemical-free strawberries (they don’t call them organic since they’re not certified, but they’re amazing)..…

• OMG Chicagomama, it’s so funny you said that “hungry but not hungry” comment! Dh has been eating ALOT more raw, i would say 80% and last night he looks and me and says “i’m hungry” and I was like “hmm, what do you want?” and he was like “nothing…but…

• yes, I just saw that elbo—thanks! i figured it out! It is very hard to unlearn it all, but I must say, being surrounded by all the luscious veggies and fruits out here in long island makes the process SO much easier!!!!

• hey all- just popping by to say hi. something funny happened to me when i “quit” the challenge….I started eating 811! I think I was overthinking it, putting too much pressure on myself, and when I let go of the ‘challenge’ I just started eating what…

• so i can honestly say that I’ve failed the challenge :( I had a tomato and avocado salad today, and with my weekly stats showing about 74-8-16 or thereabouts I can definitely say I am NOT doing 811, certainly not like you other challengers! So I res…

• Hey all, good morning! I am feeling great this morning, drinking my papaya-oj-banana smoothie and contemplating my morning run. This challenge has made me feel so good that I am considering a race in July—8k, which might be more than this body can h…

• LOL Bitt. I caved a little too and had a piece of manna bread with a bit of avo. It’s all good :) I am still transitioning and probably always will be! Don’t think of it as “caved”. Think of it as “doing something different” for a little while! My s…

• well, el-bo—today i ate 10 bananas and I am constipated :( This stinks. I am otherwise doing well, my energy is good, I haven’t taken anti-depressants in 8 days (wow) and I am exercising 4x a week or so. I don’t think I have an emotional attachment …

• so I’ve definitely still got some resistance to this diet. I am staying pretty close, but still having a bit of olive oil and balsamic. Just can’t not have it right now. I did buy a case of bananas but looking at all of them kind of freaks me out—I …

• Hi I am using this 30 day challenge to wean off of anti-depressants which I have been taking for almost 20 years, on and off. I was concerned about the low fat of this diet, as my dh reminded me “low fat can contribute to depression.” SO i did a lit…

• end of day 6 everyone! how’s everyone doing? Today I had a good workout—actually did 20 pushups, which I haven’t been able to do in forever. I also ate a bit more fat—a celery soup with some olive oil and avocado—so my stats ended at 74-7-19. Howeve…

• oh, and re not sleeping well—i wasn’t either! SO i posted about it on vegsource and was told two things: 1) eat more calories!! (i wasn’t eating enough) and 2) exercise more. I am eating more each day, up to about 1300-1500 so that’s good. And exerc…
