    Hey Chincha, I don't know whether you've isolated anything as causing your constipation, I just wanted to share a couple tips that might help.

    I don't know whether you consume any dairy, but it can take dairy 30 days to leave your body, so if dairy is causing issues for you, even very rare/occasional usage can create long-term issues. If you keep a food diary you might be able to isolate what's causing the issue. For my mom, it was dairy and nuts (she was also constipated from childhood). Also, celery is great for keeping things moving - either whole or juiced.

    Your pictures are beautiful. I hope you continue to see more improvements!

    That's great, I'm 27 and suffered from cystic acne since I was 21, I changed my diet dramtically, whilst I found it didn't cure my acne completely, it was no where as bad, I recently started drinking "adya clarity water" and has completely cleared any little bump I had on my face.. I am happy to read that the Raw Food Diet will help the scarring..

    Your skin is getting better. For some people skin takes a long time to become flawless, some experts say the skin is the last thing to heal. Keep at it.

    l had bad acne in middle age until l went raw. Some people will have acne a lifetime unless they eat much better. My skin still isn't perfect. l know people who eat terrible diets and have much better skin than me.

    l am completely dedicated to live on the best diet humanly possible. l food combine perfectly, live largely on grass, weeds, algae and sprouts, but my skin is still slow to heal. lt's tough knowing l eat so well but other people still have better skin than me. l want the best skin in town but l am still a long way from achieving that.

    This is awesome! I have noticed a change in my skin as well. I'm much older than you (51) but my skin is clearer and tighter. I'm only blending raw two to three days a week at this point. I wonder how good my skin would look on 100% raw?!!!
    No matter where you go, there you are.

    Hi everybody!
    I haven't been here in a while.. My life was crazy and it's getting crazier every day lol :)

    I haven't been as high raw as before so my skin is somewhere inbetween now, some days better and some days worse (after meat+sugar+dairy days).. Changes literally happen overnight for me, because when I eat c**p, my skin is breaking out like crazy for the next two or three days. And when I have a very good day (green juice+fruits+lots of water+lots of sleep+putting bio oil on my face before bed) the next day I don't even feel like putting foundation on..
    I've given this a lot of thought and I think that my bodyis in a way more sensitive than it ever was... I see changes sooner (in a good or bad way) and I react to food immediately.. After sugary foods I get all hyped and then crash into this lethargic bad mood, and my bladder gets irritated (chronic bladder infections for years, only the last year is antibiotic-free) whereas while I was on veggie juices for two days, I felt calm, like I was floating on air, just enjoying myself.. Some days I don't even notice these changes because I am running around like crazy and I only think about them at night, when I lay down and think about what has been happening through the day. Then I see all these connections between the food I eat and how I feel phisically and emotionally.. I might be just imagining it, though :) Anyone else experienced this?

    Love, Chincha

    honey its not only ur face improving , but have u noticed ur hair ? it looks like it is healthier ... it is shiny in the after pics and it looks softer too . i have had a simalar effect from my raw journey . my hair is so much more shinyier and softer (and that is after having fried my hair with too many hair dyes ) . just my thoughts and good luck to u on the rest of ur raw journey !

    True, my hair did improve.. But I've since cut it off (almost all of it) because I was tired of long, fried hair and I chopped it all off as a sign of rebirth and new beginning... Well if I didn't sound crazy before, I sure do now!

    I don't care if this sounds crazy but fresh urine is the best thiing for wrinkles and acne and large pores and its free. I do recommend being raw for at least two weeks and giving up animal products before using it though. Just try it for three days morning and night and see if you don't feel and see a difference by the way its more sanitary than water thats what urine is filtered blood.

    Wow, that actually sounds pretty interesting.. I'm just concerned that with all the bladder infections that I get it wouldn't be the most sanitary choice after all...
