• I’ve made various comments before about the fact that I’ve lost my edge…I no longer have the anger I’ve felt in the past…There is a sense of peace which is welcomed at this point in my life…Sometimes it causes issues at work due to the highly compet…

• Alix1962 – You are not alone – Trust me – I’ve been a hard core vegan for years and recently (July 2007) went 100% raw – I had some trouble in the beginning with detox symptoms even though I thought I ate “clean” for years – the detox symptoms appea…

• Hey again…The only thing that I can tell you is that I’ve read a number of books/forums etc. filled with raw foodists (hardcore and newbies) and they all basically stated the same thing…”Listen to your body”...”It will tell you what you need”...It m…

• No I’ve managed to maintain a 70 lb.weight loss for nearly two years now. But, I am still technically 15 lbs. overweight for my height/age…”normal” standards. What you can’t see in that pic is the “backside” lol…. We can get you there. We can all ge…

• Congrats to you! You are one of the lucky ones. Everyone knows I’ve posted note after note about not losing a pound after going raw. Keep up the good work! I wish you the best! Peace

• Morning…I just rec’d two books I ordered from Amazon on the subject to try to understand where a “normal” middle aged person should be. I’ve also spent weeks trying to find somewhere to order the test strips. Where did you get yours?

• Hey Guys – Just checking in on Day 7 for some of us. I am not an expert by no means but did a ton of reading on the MC before I went through my first one. “They” say once you turn pink you’re done. There really wouldn’t be any additional benefits to…

• RawJim – Thanks so much for the “shout out”. I am sorry you are having such a tough go of it. I am midway through Day 4 and really feel great. No problems. No hunger. Sleep last night was blissful. I told you guys ealier that was my favorite part. T…

• RawJim – I believe it is clarity – you should be able to hone it and focus in the next few hours…Isn’t it great? It’s like having super powers. My sense of smell and hearing appear to sharpen too during the cleanse.

• Laine – That rocks! I am on Day 3 – No problems – This is my second of the year. I plan to do it with the change of each season. I felt amazing on about the 10th day of the cleanse and actually finished my first one on Day 12. I never wanted to stop…

• RawVoice – Yes, the interference of that time of the month has proven to be exhausting – but I am almost done with Day 2 – Did 32 oz of the SWF this am – no problem – drinking it warm and thru a straw makes it easy – It’s about 3:00 and have had 5 g…

• RawVoice – Hope all is well. I am winding down Day 1 too. I drank 32 oz of salt water this morning. No problem with it this time, usually can’t handle it until Day 3 or so. In answer to your question, staying busy during the day is crucial for me. S…

• skyespice – again my apology – I just read you were losing too much weight as a raw vegan so obviously that is a non-issue :)

• RCBAlive – Hey. For me the fact that the maple syrup is not raw is/was a non-issue – I still think the benefits far outweigh the purity of the 100% raw…On the MC unlike others I was able to work and train 6 days a week – There were a ton of benefits…

• Spiritedmama – Morning…The book states that the SWF (salt water flush) will be difficult until day 3. I couldn’t handle it the first three days. I decided that I was going to wait until I could get it down…Make sure you are not using table salt or e…

• JoyceH I agree. Burrough claims that your body will recalibrate so those needing to lose – will – and others – won’t – IMO I am 15 lbs overweight…The last MC I completed was for 12 days and I didn’t lose a pound…which should have been “proof” for me…

• RawJim It’s always been easier for me to fast while at work. When at home and out of my normal routine it is more difficult. With the MC there are no crazy bathroom “issues” which would keep you from going to work or school. The only thing you need…

• Yeah – dude – you are close enough …. and I agree totally – but I still would like to get my edge back…like I said – I am in a very competitive business and it doesn’t appear to matter to me – at all – what the “other” guys are doing… Peace
