• ejowett – for me it’s been 11 days and today is the first day i really feel like eating something else. I love fruits and vegetables too, but i’m craving vinaigrette dressings and dry stuff like crackers and nuts. I’m going to ride it out and contin…

• chicagomama and nycgrrl you are inspiring me to make raw foods for DH now. I have to admit i’ve been kind of lazy since i haven’t been preparing anything for myself (811 is so easy). I just let him make his stuff which is inevitably not too healthy.

• That fuel analogy rings true for me too. I love the way I feel after eating – energetic and clear headed. It’s such a contrast to the way I have eaten before. Over the years i have tried a lot of different ways of eating (vegan, macro, SAD, etc.) bu…

• ejowett – welcome. i’m pretty new to 811rv myself, but i highly doubt you will gain any weight doing 811. One thing i’ve been trying to do is eat as meals, not eat every hour. I’ve been having lots of watermelon for breakfast. Then I wait a few hour…

• elbo – wow! 18.5 lbs! amazing. chicagomama – that’s great about your dh trying raw. my dh is also eating SAD, but said last night he would be open to eating what i’m eating, at least when we eat together. I haven’t explained 811, but still….. He’s t…

• nycgrrl and chicagomama – i’ll miss your posts here. I just started raw food a couple of months ago and i feel so happy to have discovered this thread, site, and 811. I read every book i could find on raw food, but luckily it’s been too soon to have…

• I love the idea of pineapple with salad. re: calories from fruit thanks for suggestions – i don’t love bananas, but i’ll try them in smoothie. Over the years I have struggled to lose weight so it is strange now to try to increase my calories. i’m tr…

• actually i am using the cronometer which is great. In fact, i’m eating a lot in volume, but without the nuts and avocado, it doesn’t add up to enough.

• nycgrrl checked out your pics and blogs. You look fantastic! (i live in nyc too with 2 kids (6 and 3) just wondering, are your kids eating raw?) I’ve been following 811 closely since sunday and I feel really good, but am also not sleeping well. I th…

• El-bo, Thanks again for all the great links. It’s really helping me stay on track. I think the hardest thing for me about eating this way is the social aspect (lunch at work) and preparing alternative food for DH and kids.

• El-bo thanks for all the great links and info. It’s all really helpful and inspiring. I just ordered the book and have been eating just fruit and veg. the last 2 days. I too would love some ideas for dressings – i’ve love vinagar – any other ideas b…

• hi jedichick, before eating raw my weight would never budge. i’ve been eating raw for about 6 weeks and i’ve lost 12 pounds. luna blu- i haven’t been doing this for too long, but one thing that has really helped me is to stop eating by 5 or 6pm. i f…

• check out the book The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. This is an amazing book that makes the link between nutrition and disease (e.g. cancer). After reading it I became vegan. (Just to give you an idea of how convincing it is, my parents who are …
