HI all!

I've been all raw now for 5 weeks, with the exception of my yerba mate, which I'm still enjoying, and I just want to share that in such a SHORT time:

1) a woman stopped me in the grocery store parking lot and said, "I just have to tell you that I watched you walk across the parking lot and your hair is just SO shiny! It looks so pretty catching the sun." Out of nowhere this happens and, no, it was not a come-on. :)

2) A young woman from Bulgaria who I live with and who has limited command of English said to me, " You look, what is the word..."slim."

3) A female acquaintance passed by and did a double-take and said, "Hey, did you lose weight?"

I've gone from a size 10 to a size 8, which I haven't been in about 5 years! MY hair, which was thinning and a bit on the dull side, is getting thicker and shinier all the time-it's like crazy shiny-and the psoriasis condition that I had on the soles of my feet, that was sooooo difficult to get rid of and so stubborn, is GONE. Normal skin now, for the first time in 7 months. and the slight patches that I had in various other places on my body are also gone.

I am so pleased!! :D It is so exciting and also a teeny bit scary...but I LOVE the compliments! Events of the past 9 months REALLY took a toll on my health and I am so deeply grateful to see and feel myself healing! Yay me and yay raw!

Wow! You're getting fast results. What does your diet look like? Did you dabble in raw for awhile before taking the plunge and going totally raw?
And, most importantly, where did you get that freaking hilarious quote about nut burgers?

Haha, Stina! I'm glad you like my sig line. I actually go around saying it to myself and laughing. It's from the cartoon "Popeye." The gluttonous character Wimpy had a hamburger habit that he couldn't afford and he used to say, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" I just raw-ized it. :D

I researched/experimented/started the raw ball rolling last November. I would be like 75% raw, then 50, then not raw at all, then mostly raw, then not, etc. Different things at different times. Now, I eat alot of salads, fruit, pumpkin seeds, DATES (in caps b/c I love them), coconut oil, hemp mylk, I'm getting more into sprouts these days...lets see..I make the cheddar cheese spread at least twice a week right now amd eat it with celery sticks...ummm...I don't eat any dehydrated stuff really except the occasional splurge in on-line flax cracker ordering--I guess by "occasional" I mean once. I don't have a dehydrator yet. I'm a little surprised that I seem to be doing ok without it. But it will be so awesome when I have one. Oh yeah, I make alot of smoothies with cacao, banana and hempmylk. And I have a favorite soup from AC's book--it's avo, cucumber, lemon juice, sea salt, dill. I seem to be off the GS's these days, maybe because I'm eating alot of salad.

I think that's about it! :)

Congratulations :D !
And enjoy your yerba mate. It's so yummy. I had some tonight, 'cause I had to stay up late to run in my college's interdorm olympics. (won third place, by the way, so not so bad)

It's a great feeling when people comment about you losing weight. I got a couple nice comments from some guys today who I used to drink & party with a couple years ago. And you know us guys are kinda hesitant to comment on another guy because the first thing that pops into our minds on guy on guy comments is "What's he up to?!" :eek: LoL. Good job on being living proof that the raw diet works! So way to go & keep up the great work!

That's wonderful RawSweetie regarding all of the things you're healing with your body. Sounds like you've got the glow too. It works like a magnet. I've been drinking a lot of green juice lately and my skin looks very healthy. I received a lot of compliments in a week's time from mostly guys and I realized they were responding to how good I was feeling. It was not a come on either, they just felt compelled to tell me I looked nice. Well some said more than that, but I am humble. Being Raw raises your sex appeal. Be careful out there. LOL.
