Wow you really do look two different people. Congrats!

I wish I could offer advice. The first time I was raw for 30 days I lost 28 lbs WITHOUT working out a single day, but my bodyfat% didn't seem to actually drop much (according to my Tanita scale). On...

I'd recommend three cheap at home workout solutions:

1) elastic chords (I'm using bodylastics since that's what iwantsixpackabs.com recommends)
2) kettlebells -- great for functional strength and...

Hey folks,

I'm in week five of the program at www.iwantsixpackabs.com. My friend is doing the workout with me but is following its diet, which consists of a lot of raw veggies and fruits but also...

I'm actually looking forward to an emotional detox! This sounds like fun. :)

I'm amazed at how so many people are experiencing such detox in such a short amount of time. I was raw for 30 days straight and all I felt was tired.

Granted, I didn't have green smoothies during...

Would you describe what it feels like to have a bad emotional detox? Does it just come up and you start crying? I'm curious if other external factors might influence emotions as well.

Honestly vipassana didn't do much for me. It was an interesting 10-day experience, something I'd like to do again some day once I'm not working, but I just didn't feel any major sensations over the...

Cool. I've been 75% raw for the past few weeks, I'm trying to push it up to 100%. I'm working out at least once per day, sometimes twice. I'm hoping that this extra cardio will help me shed weight...

Do you find that raw forces an emotional release? I understand plenty of people have strong connections to cooked foods as coping mechanisms for emotional issues, but I'm really referring to...

I was watching a video by Matt Monarch about his raw experience. He said that when you're not medicating yourself with cooked food, you allow your body to release emotions buried deeply, and he said...

I say bands -- you can do a lot more with them, they are super cheap and portable (i.e. you don't need a gym), and it's all body weight. I've been following the guy at www.iwantsixpackabs.com and he...

I'm generally eating like a horse but I'm going from 2,000+ calories per day on a 6'2" frame to 1,300 or so I'm getting from raw foods. I literally can't afford to be falling asleep this week, so I...

I'm starting to hit the initial fatigue of detox and calorie restriction (day 3) but I need to stay awake for work -- no time for sleeping. I'm thinking of taking a nodoze... anyone know if this is a...

Where do you find raw chocolate at Whole Foods? I went there last week and they thought I was crazy asking for "raw chocolate".

I'd avoid grain. Grain should only be used if you are in a famine or drought. Most of the ancient civilizations only used grain when they had no other choice.

It preserves forever--I don't know...

Damn the wisdom bar is $10. PER BAR?!? That's a little insane.

I thought I posted this a week ago but I can't find the thread... I want to buy some raw chocolate bars, but Shazzie's are like $8 per bar and in the UK. I'd much rather buy from a trusted raw vegan...

I think the Romans valued salt so much as a preservative for their food, not for its mineral value. But yes, in fact "salary" derives from the Latin word salarium, which means salt. Romans often...

I'm glad someone else brought this up. I don't like to refer people to Victoria Boutenko as an ideal raw vegan since she's clearly overweight. The raw food movement needs a hot chick showing off her...

I'm hoping raw foodism can develop an eating disorder for me! Seriously, I've always thought of food as entertainment and even a competition with myself or my friends (Mike can eat so much, he'll...

Hey folks, I started back into my raw diet. I've been maintaining about 70% raw for the past few weeks (although in terms of number of calories, probably more like 30%). But I've been cranking it up...

I totally recommend the K-Tec/BlendTec "Total Blender." The thing is amazing -- computer-controlled, you don't need to be nursing it while it blends, perfectly smooth blends, easy cleanup. It's...

I'm struggling to get back to 100% raw now. They had bagels & donuts in the kitchen today and I held for a while but saw a glazed... I had to sneak one. It's almost as if I am craving the bad...

Choco Cafe in the University District is your best bet. Hippie central, but they always have a few raw offerings.
