    Welcome and congrats on making a great health decision ! I've lost over 40lbs from going vegan and raw. Best thing I've ever done.

    I will send you a friend request. If your not sure how to eat, take a look at my food diary. I try to post as much as I can but I switch back and forth from here and cronometer

    my best advice for going raw is to keep it simple. avoid fancy raw recipes that use 5 different kinds of nuts or seeds and tons of other stuff. it's fine once in a while, but for every day it's just too complicated and can be hard to digest. also, don't depend too much on dehydrated items. it can leave YOU dehydrated.

    also, i think you mean a 180. 360 will put you right back where you started!

    enjoy the journey :o)

    lol yes your right. Also I hear many raw foodies say you need to eat a lot like 2500 cals is that true?

    2,500 is a good spot to be at. I've heard it called the 'sweet spot" Less than that and most people begin to crave cooked or high fat. I started off raw with that amount and learned I needed more.
