By the way, I'm with Aleesha. When I did raw before, especially when just starting it, I just ate til I was satisfied. I didn't worry about calories, etc. In my case I didn't need to watch my...

I've done the hcg diet. I lost around 23 pounds the first month, and a total of 37 pounds while on the diet. I did have a couple of cheat days, so I would have been more successful if I hadn't.

Oh, I just noticed your signature...you've had great weight loss! Plateus stink, but you've done great already. 56 pounds is awesome! How long did it take to lose that much?

No weight loss? That's such a bummer. But there are so many other great benefits. And I'm reminded of those benefits everytime I find myself stuck out running errands and give in and get cooked...

Hi,

I haven't been around in a long time. Been a crazy year. I went off raw, obviously, but that hasn't stopped me from trying to incorporate it back into my life. So even thought I haven't...

I have had the same thing before with Pink Lady apples. Over the winter, it was inside every pink lady, no matter what store I got them from. I stopped buying them for months, until I bought one at...

Oh, and I'm very proud of myself tonight. I stuffed myself full of smoothies in order to stave off my craving to have junk delivered to my house again for my dinner (at least until it was too late...

Anastazia--Good for you!! I wish I could go 100%. I've toyed with the idea, since the one time I went 100%, I had little to no detox symptoms. But who knows if it would be the same the second time...

Domesticgoddess, that makes me think of something else...we homeschool too, and also don't vaccinate. It's important for people like us to pick doctors who are "tolerant" of parents who don't...

I agree with everyone who is saying lie through your teeth. ;-) I'm not always able to do a lot of raw with my kids due to finances, but even when I've had them high raw, I tell everyone that the...

pinkkpanthur-I won't be weighing myself once a week. I know a lot of people do that, but I'd rather see the up and down variation than to wait a whole week, expecting a drop, but see a gain because...

Mostly I don't use up the avocados because I just don't get around to it right away, and by the time I do, they've all gone bad. It only takes a few days. I gave my kids some of the guacamole for...

I should use my slicing blade on my processor too. Problem is, my husband put it away somewhere and doesn't remember where.

I always go for the firmest avocados, because I rarely use them right...

I had a lot of those symptoms. Sounds like detox to me. Like someone said, green smoothies should help a lot. It's probably a combination of detox, cooked food withdrawal, and possibly you need...

I only use my tamper when I see that some stuff is wedged in the middle of the vita mix and not dropping down to where the blades are. Doesn't happen often during smoothie making.

Make sure...

Thanks, Joyfulmama, for the suggestions. I agree, cutting up stuff ahead of time is great. I've done it before, and it does make all the difference. The problem is, it takes forever. When I can...

Still hoping for someone who knows the answer to this question. Thanks!

Well, I did mostly raw today. All I had that was cooked was a sandwich and soup. It wasn't exactly an easy day, either. I had a hair appointment first thing this morning, and forgot to take the...

Elizabeth--absolutely, you don't even have to ask! I see you lost 19 pounds. Was that on raw, or are you literally just starting? Welcome!

This thread is old, but I spotted it and thought I'd chime in. I don't have type II, but I've had gestational diabetes with my last 2 pregnancies. For the last one, a year ago, I went raw for the...

I wish I'd gotten a timer with mine. Never thought I'd need it, but as soon as I started using it, I realized I would need it for some recipes, as someone mentioned above. I plan on trying a plug...

I have several kinds of nuts stored in my refrigerator in plastic bags. Some of them have been in there for just over a year. Are they still good, or should I toss them? Some are raw almonds--I...

Yep, I know all about that energy thing. I am sooooo tired right now. I promised myself breakfast would be raw, but I was so hungry by the time I got up, that I caved and had cooked. Not much,...

Okay, I'm back (again)! Well, one thing you can say for me is that at least I keep coming back!

I've been trying to get back onto raw all month, and it hasn't happened. I started a few days,...

Glad to see someone kept the thread up! Of course, I've been on and off raw (mostly off) the last couple of months. I've just had the hardest time getting back on the program this time.

Well,...
