Remember, food combination is king. Eat fruits as a monomeal in the morning and you'll be feeling satisfied and energized. If you combine fruit with anything else (i.e. grains and proteins - especially proteins), your body can't digest the sugars, which can easily become more concentrated and toxic in the gut. Fruit should be eaten in isolation at least an hour before anything else or an hour after. Monomeals in general are great, no matter what.

Make sure you're eating vegetables in the afternoon, don't stick with fruit all day - sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, which can onset many health issues, even stress (even though we may deny that!)

Being vegan has many benefits, but you need to make sure you're taking a B12 supplement and possibly iron, there vitamins are essential and mostly found in meat. I suggest you ease into being a vegetarian first and see how your body reacts, then move onto vegan. I did that and my body appreciated eating vegetarian, but was screaming at me when I switched to being vegan for my own unique reasons.

Let me know if you have any questions

Any good sources that you get this type of information from? I'm curious to read more about food-combining. I sort of think it sounds fake, but if it works, why not!

(Also this is a sorta bump.)

I did raw till 4 last year and lost so much weight eating 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day. I think it is a good lifestyle for people that have BED because even though you eat mainly fruit, you can eat as much as you want. It is hard to overeat on fruit as they are full of water and pass through your system so fast.

I recently restarted raw till 4, transitioning into vegan. And I've been losing fast. I wanna see what it does to me and my body on the long term. Short term I'd say it is good!

oh AND also there is no calorie restriction you can eat as much as you want as long as you want until you are absolutely full and satisfied. I eat more now than before while working with a personal trainer eating "lean meats" and what not. I have also lost more weight than when I was on my other life styles.

Ditto!! Love this lifestyle!!! I have been having the odd treat like this weekend it was my 30th so I had a piece of chocolate cake (not the raw/healthy kind!!) and while it tasted good, I felt awful and sooo tired after.....all I'm craving now are fruits and veggies and I love it!! I also have waaaay more energy for my runs, it's a fantastic lifestyle :-)
