I've been primarily raw for about 7 months now (mostly about 80-90% raw) with my un-raw items being primarily drinks like coffee and occassionaly some vegan food when I am out with friends.

In the...

Yes, if someone saved this article could you post it? I see alissa has it in the media section of her site, but not big enough to read!

Thanks gang - these are awesome suggestions, I really appreciate the feedback.

Hello fellow living foodists! I wondered if any of you had any tips from me, as the biggest challenge I am facing going 100% raw is giving up pop and coffee (I only drink decaf). It seems to be more...

Great topic! I can totally relate to this as well - having been overweight and/or dieting since the age of 8 (yuck!) with a top weight of 271.

Over the last year and a half, I have lost 85lbs...

Being too restrictive with Raw starting out, trying to limit my fat intake etc. Eating this way made it so I couldn't wait to get off this "diet" and eat things other than fruit and veggies. This...

Yes, David was at the Whole Life Expo, but also did a seminar Thursday evening (Nov. 23rd) put on by Forever Healthy. I know he travels around a lot to speak, and I do recommend getting a ticket if...

I was very fortunate last week to be able to attend a lecture with David Wolfe in Toronto on raw foods. It was an amazing experience to be in a room with 200 or so fellow raw fooders and really has...

My suggestion would be to pick up the book "The PH Miracle" - it explains a lot about the body and PH.

Off the top of my head, a 100% raw foods diet, plus drinking a lot of lemon water and even...

Hmmmm .... I guess that means no one knows when she's on again?

Anyone know when the follow-up show of "Diet Wars" is scheduled for the Tyra Banks show? I'm dying to see how everyone is making out on their plans.

My bet is on Alissa's girls losing the most...

Wow, I can really relate to your post. My highest weight was 271, and I'm sitting around 208 now; however this spring I managed to get myself down to 186 (and had promised myself then that I...

Thanks for the feedback gang!

I know it's often better to think in terms of health, although it's very hard to grasp that if you don't have any health problems (yet). I'm 28, and even at my...

I lost the 85lbs the non-raw way (the usual diet/exercise combo) I moved to raw because I got tired of having to count everything that went into my mouth (carbs, fat grams etc.) and I really missed...

I'm sure some of you are in the same boat I'm in with losing weight that we've already lost before. I *had* lost 85lbs as of June 1, but over the course of the last 3-months have managed to put back...

What about Carlene from the raw food boot camp? She certainly is an extreme success story! I know she pokes her head in here sometimes - we should send her a note to contact Alissa.

Just wondering if anyone has read this book?

It looks really good - thought I...

Thanks guys - you've inspired me and I've ordered a dehyrator from alissa. I'm mostly interested in trying out the cracker/cookie receipes and some of the veggie chips look fantastic.

I'm hoping...

Heatherisraw -

Wow, that is some speedy weight loss results!! Amazing - any tips to share? Did you limit nuts/oils/avacados - that type of thing?

Thanks for your responses!

I do have about 40lbs left to lose (I lost 85 in the last year the typical diet/exercise route, but since have gained 20lbs back after "trying" to eat more normally -...

I've posted before about having some troubles staying raw and wondered if using a dehydrator might help me stay raw. I notice the SAD cooked food I do eat (non-raw) seems to be crunchy carb stuff...

I experience this when I am losing weight and/or water weight rapidly. It's the first sign I feel to know that I'm losing weight. Try adding some salt (sea salt) and increasing potassium and these...

I appreciate the feedback. I usually eat either a green smoothie for breakfast (banana, orange, spinach and water) or just fresh fruit. For lunch, it's more fruit or a salad. Dinner is usually a...

I've been struggling with raw, although I've read alissa's book, as well as a ton of other raw books and feel the concept really makes sense to me, however (here comes the big BUT) - the gas...
