I released 15 pounds in my first 30 days. Then again, I had about 50 to lose.

The first time I went raw I lost a bit over 8 in the first month. I guess it varies :)

Good afternoon!

Everybody is doing GREAT! I'm so proud of you all.

I woke up late today (guess my body needed the sleep) and had blended watermelon with wheatgrass.

I plan on juicing some...

Hello to all you June challengers. :) I wanted to pop in and give you my congratulations on your journey!

Having completed my first 30 days, I have taken the past two days to experiment with...

Mmmm... yummy food!

Well, the plan didn't work. LOL. I spied the lonely, yet enormous, cantaloupe on my counter and dug in.

Now I have cantaloupe coming out of my ears.

I might have room...

Good morning all!

B: smoothie!
L: fruit, or a big glass of green juice.

Snacks: bananas, mangoes, avocado (if it's ripe)

Have a beautiful day!

Good afternoon! :)

Today I've been busy... I'm baking gifts for my Dad for Father's Day (my apologies if it's not okay to mention this) and haven't had the urge to dive in. Hurray!

B: banana...

I tried that as well. I ended up running a paring knife along the edge and chipping it out. Think next time I'll try the young Thai coconuts. :)

Thank you! :)

Holy cow... tomorrow night will actually be exactly 30 days for me. I miscounted. LOL I have May 23rd as my official date, but I actually started in the afternoon of May 22nd.

B: grapefruit juice...

It varied with me between having days of bloat and headaches to having nights of "ahhhh no more acid reflux!"

I have been raw for 4 weeks this time around and I feel better every day. I was having...

Happy weekend!

I'm currently in the process of fighting a coconut. I've bought them before for the purpose of drinking the water however this is the first time I've actually decided to try and get...

Welcome. I'm so glad you found us. You look amazing!

As someone who has also been in recovery from eating disorders, I commend you for taking charge of your health. It's so hard to do, and Raw has...

Oh geez Nellie :( You must be so frustrated. I hope you get your answers soon and can begin the path to recovery. Big hugs.

Good luck Nellie!

Have a safe trip Basenjimamma!

Today is Day 27 for me. :)
I'm feeling better today after yesterday's raw zucchini nausea. Yuck.

I'll be keeping things simple...

Have I posted this yet? LOL

B: banana
L: orange bell pepper and zucchini with raw ranch dressing
D: probably a green smoothie
S: banana

My stomach is really messed up after that lunch. It's...

I love spinach and use it in everything. I imagine you could have too much of anything, but if this is what your body is needing right now, go for it. :)

I would go through two to three bunches of...

Good morning!

I've been, oddly, a little "stopped up" the past day or so, but that was resolved this morning. Thank goodness. I feel so much better when I'm not carrying all of that around. LOL
...

DBF stayed home from work sick today. Maybe it's not detox I'm going through, maybe it's my body fighting something off.

I'm just not really feeling very into food at the moment. I just had a...

My experience has been that I need to plan my meals and make sure I eat every few hours. Otherwise I forget. I do love grazing, though, so I allow myself to do that as well if I get hungry.

If I...

I've read through this entire thread, and I'm so inspired by you all.

I've noticed that my body recently has a lowered appetite and it's almost calling out for a cleanse. I've never fasted before...

The archives are so special to me! :)

And the Before and Afters thread. LOL Too many wonderful positive...

My appetite has gone down, too.

If you are worried about "shrinking" too much, you can always add in more avocadoes or nut butters or nuts. Bananas are also a good source of calories and energy....

Ok... you tell us we're contradicting ourselves when in the same paragraph you say you "value a raw vegan diet very highly" but then you say that you also think it's "extremly unhealthy".

Yes,...

Welcome back :)

I'm still feeling cruddy... headache, fatigue, episodes of light nausea. Blech. I haven't exercised in seveal days now because of feeling this way. I just feel generally...

I'm going to have to get to Sprouts in the next couple of days! Thanks for letting us know! :)

Super exhausted today.

B: strawberries
L: huge mango
D: more strawberries. My raw cashew dressing went bad :(
