I, too, lost 11 lbs the first week. It did slow down, first to about 3-4 lbs per week average, then I hit a plateau and I have yet to move.

So, don't freak out just yet about the weight loss. Just...

1. Was there a certain reason why you chose to eat raw food such as a health issue? I felt old and tired and sick. I wanted to feel better. My surgeon mentioned raw foods (mainly as a weight loss...

Not to mention that by not eating meat helps decrease water usage, water and air pollution, etc. Agribusiness is by far the biggest user of all our resources.

I disagree--I did not have any food left over...maybe that makes me a glutton. I understand that when you first transition you need more food. After eating raw for awhile, my appetite DID decrease.

Hope it was rawkin'!!

I was surprised to see this old thread pop up!!! Can't resist to add my two-cents worth. :p

Hernias are nothing to mess with...you run the risk of bowel strangulation and possible resultant...

I'm not familiar with the institute, either, and wish you well on your healing journey.

The only raw institute that I am aware of (and very limited knowledge at that) is the Hippocrates Institute...

Did you all read the post about Oprah looking for weight loss success stories??? I think we have several on this thread who would make wonderful examples...Radiantly Raw comes to mind!!(I haven't...

Wow!! Looks like I got a great deal!! I can't wait to try it out. I need to play with it and figure out the up/down thing.

The base does look like a toaster!!!LOL! But I'm thinking that I like...

My sweetie bought me a vitamix 3600 at a yard sale for $20 this past weekend!!:D

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but have looked through the instruction manual/cookbook included, and am...

Not really sure about Bariani (I'm still an olive oil neophyte) but stay away from Spectrum!! That was nasty stuff--made my truffles, kale salad, and everything taste very weird (BAD to me!). :(

Yes, there definitely IS life after cheese!! I was a HUGE dairy addict--never thought I could live without it! I went 100% raw August 2nd 2007, and found that I didn't miss it as much as I thought!...

Please, please, please, can I be next in line for any cacao donations???? I don't have it very often because of the expense, but I love it.

Looks like you've got lots of good replies already, but I just wanted to jump in with my story.

Carol, it was fun...he has a killer sense of humor! Actually, he didn't prepare the food, I guess. It was prepared by a local woman, who is trying to start up a local cooperative--I was on lots of...

I just noticed that there are black crawlies in my barley! :eek: Fortunately, I keep the barley in a screw-top glass jar, so they're not in my kitchen.

Has anyone else had this problem??? Kinda...

I ordered my Excalibur 9-tray from Alissa (same price as the lowest I could find on the web with no shipping cost) and it came with 5 paraflex sheets, which I've found more than enough for me. But...

I'm so excited! This guy, whom I've never heard of, but he is apparently well known in the raw food world, is preparing a raw food dinner and giving a lecture on the benefits of raw food tomorrow....

Menat, I'm so glad there is someone else out there whose body doesn't reject non-raw. I thought I was weird or something. Although I don't eat meat ever, and the non-raw things I do eat are usually...

I haven't tried the lasagna yet, but I wasn't too fond of the chili--not because of the temperature--that actually didn't bother me due to the chili. I thought it was too sweet. I'm not fond of...

Oops! Missed the previous replies when I posted!! (Didn't notice the second page-LOL!) So glad that they are still selling Osters with glass! Whenever this one dies....(and that may be awhile!)...and...

Mine is not new (it's actually over 20yrs old) but I have had no problem with it other than needing a new rubber gasket. It's an Oster with a glass jar. I do green smoothies at least once a day, and...
