I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.
Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!
Raw Weight Loss and Health Improvement! Link to Pictures :)
After transitioning to a 100% raw, plant based diet I experienced dramatically improved health:
My allergies completely disappeared, and I no longer had to take Zyrtec daily.
I cleared my skin and healed my dermatitis (which my doctor had warned me was incurable), and was able to stop taking the five pharmaceutical drugs I was taking at the time to control the condition.
I quickly lost weight (40lbs), even though I was eating more calories than ever. I am happy to be able to eat as much as I desire for the first time in my whole life.
My physical performance increased dramatically.
My mental clarity improved, and so did my grades. My GPA improved an entire grade point.
My vision improved to the point where I now have 20/20 vision and was able to throw away my contacts.
I tried uploading my before and after pictures, but couldn't.
They are dramatic!

Well, as per my experience, eating raw food,is good for health-is is now also proved from scientific point of view.Cooking food can diminish its nutritional value. For example, the cancer-fighting compounds in broccoli, sulforaphanes, are greatly reduced when broccoli is cooked. Certain vitamins, such as vitamin C and folate, are destroyed by heat.Science now proves that cooking not only destroys nutrition and enzymes but chemically changes foods from the substances needed for health into acid-forming toxins, free-radicals and poisons that destroy our health!
Raw food diet is natural and easy way to lose the weight. I have start raw food diet and after a week I have find many benefits. I have lost 3 to 4 pound weight just a week.
