part of me wants to carry this fast on. However, I am on a course today and tomorrow and I have food to take with me. I may just do a further 12 hours and eat this evening instead of breaking this morning. I'll see what happens. I drank 4.5 litres water yesterday. That is a fair bit for me. I will have to get my fav bottled water to take with me - looks as though I'm sticking with it for now :)

oh that is a lovely thing to gift yourself!!!

My self has been sorely tried of late but now I am pretty happy with where and how I am living and with whom I am living. I'm going to be even lovelier to my self soon by building a kiln and getting back into ceramics again :)

What a gorgeous gift you are giving your Self.

Saw an interesting recipe for persimmon carpachio (?sp). It wasn't fully raw so I haven't tried it yet - it would involve having to think about making it fully raw.

I haven't had Persimmons yet this year, but my mouth is watering with the possibilities!!!

Congratulations

Oh I am sorry, headaches are so annoying!

Just a day off, nothing special. I do feel much better but I did succumb and take pain killers! Drinking loads of water and staying calm. Thank you two xx

Frontier makes raw spices, heated below 118 degrees. Also, I make many of my own spices, grow and dehydrate myself. I consider myself a 100% raw foodist if everything I use is raw except vinegar and nuts. Of coarse, I purposely purchase nuts that generally say raw on them. Alissa considers herself 100% raw and eats nuts. There are a few purists out there, but I haven't met many.

could you be detoxing something? Water is always good. I hope that you feel better quickly. What is the holiday tomorrow?

AAAAHHH!!!! Woo...woo...wooo!!!! I hope that you feel better!!!! Try some deep breathing exercizes...close your eyes and inhale. Hold it for 5 seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Do it a few times. That always clears my head!

This blog post was written a while back when the forum was full of posts about eating raw food to just lose weight then after a few weeks, when crazy amounts of weight had been lost, go back to cooked foods. People who never looked at raw eating before, suddenly announcing they were going on 90 day juice fasts just to lose weight. A bunch of people who so hated being overweight that they hated themselves. You needed to read it in the context of the forum at the time.

not everyone who is on a big weight loss journey has lived a life time of bad eating habits.

I think anyone who can find a diet or way of eating that is healthy and good for their body that ultimately helps them lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle for life is commendable. This would help rid obesity.

I'm sure there are thousands of people from all walks of life whom have struggled with weight loss and not found what has worked for them then perhaps stumbling across raw eating and then realising wow this is a great way of living, eating, getting healthy.

Not every overweight human being is tarred with the same brush. I love myself as a human being but I don't love being overweight.

I doubled my natural body weight in 10 months! It has been a crappy time. NOTHING has worked well for me BUT as a newbie rawbie of just four days I am seeing and feeling amazing benefits that can only help me be the most healthy I can be and help rid me of my excess weight. Up until this happened to me I lived a happy healthy life, used to run 10kms every morning before I went to work !

That's where I need to get back to. This is not a fad diet for me nor for thousands of others. Look at beautiful Leesha who has shed 145 lbs eating RAW, she is a legend as are many others.

Just my two cents worth

what a great feeling! congrats

You can do water fasting - when you are ready Ms Carrot :)

AAAHHHH! The "dreaded" Neti Pot!!!! LOL!!! Actually, it's really wonderful, I just say "dreaded" cuz when I teach it in my Level 2 Classes it takes a long while before everyone warms up to doing it. Then they are happy that they gave it a try.

Man, I wanna try water fasting SOOOO bad!!!! But, I'm SUCH a carrot!!!!!!

very nice!!! I love the way I feel after meditating... there's just nothing like it.

I shall be able to start meditating again soon I think :)

nice!!!
