Hi guys! I'm lisa. That girl in the picture is not how I look now, but who I want to be again. Not skinny, but vibrant and happy. I was a vegetarian from age 12 to somewhere in my early twenties, but didn't eat a very healthy diet and have been overweight almost my entire life. The only time I was truly fit was one glorious summer that I quit my job to work next to a national park. I hiked almost daily, and on the days I didn't hike, I jogged or biked. I ate oatmeal for breakfast daily, ate tons of organic fruit (mostly apples), didn't eat any breads or white sugars, but I cannot for the life of me remember if I ate poultry or not. (During my non-vegetarian years, poultry was the only meat I would eat, with the exception of the very occasional fish.) That was 12 years ago. I weighed 137 and for the first time in my life did not 'feel' fat. Anyways, rambling. Just wanted to give a backstory as to my past eating habits. How I came to be here today, and joining this group. I am really considering trying out this 80/10/10 lifestyle, so basically I am here for information. I know that I should get the book, but how many books, or videos have I bought but never read, or did, and at what cost. I'm not saying that the book will not eventually be worth buying, but unfortunately we currently live on one income and well, let's just say money right now, is very tight. I have not read through the message board yet, but just thought I'd stop in and introduce myself. I would like to transition into this 80/10/10 diet within the next weeks, with perhaps April 1st being my first official all 80/10/10 day. My goal is to give this diet a two month try so I can evaluate at that time, if this diet lifestyle is for me, or not. Hope I lose weight!! ***wanted to add*** - 12 years ago I did a 10 day, 300 calorie per day juice fast, and it resulted in my feeling better than I had in my whole life. A few months ago, I did a 10 day non calorie restricted juice fast, and though it did not take me to a euphoric and totally clear feeling the first fast had done for me, it did give me tons of energy, and a very positive outlook. I am thinking/hoping that the 80/10/10 diet will also clear up the fogginess that is my daily life.

Hi, I'm a 41-year-old stay-at-home mom to two kids...I've recently (past year or so) tried to follow several ways of eating, including Paleo, Bulletproof, and Atkins. No success with losing weight on any of them...in fact, I have GAINED weight and generally feel bloated, tired, and non-energetic. Heard about 80/10/10, read the book, read a bunch of websites, and ready to give this lifestyle a go! Any and all support appreciated! :):)

Hi I'm new to the high carb raw vegan lifestyle which I discoverd from freelee the banana girl on youtube. I wanted to go vegan for a while but wanted to research the best way to do it and found her videos. I love eating raw because I eat as much as I want guilt free. I use to be a compulsive binge eater and hated eating in front of people for fear of being judged, now I eat openly and honestly for I am so proud of the way I nurture my body. My name is Aoife I'm 5' 6 and 112 pounds. I do need to gain muscle lose fat and in general tone up as I will admit I have had a few slip ups along the way but everday gets easier and I feel ully ready to commit to the vegan lifestyle
