This is my favorite healing with raw foods story...This beautiful woman healed herself from arthritis, MS and lost 200lbs by going raw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlXXg49vzMU&feature=relmfu

Interesting about Micheal Arnstein. My friend travelled to Brazil and hung out with some indigenous people there for a while that told her they could see/smell food on her aura. they told her they saw a particular food (I forgot which food it was now) but she was surprised because she had been eating that food quite alot…

WOW!!!!!! you are a huge inspiration to me, as I am starting out at the same weight as you did. I hope that one year from now I can be half as fit as you are. Amazing, thanks for posting :flowerforyou:

When I first started living this way it was 100% for health reason, but now the longer I eat this type of diet the more in tune I feel with nature, life, animals, everything. I know this sounds kind of "hippie", but it is the truth and it is unexplainable. Im Glad Im not the only one that felt this way...Ive added other…

ooh, and I have another question: How long after you started working out on a regular basis, DID you start seeing the numbers go down?

That makes sense, thanks Diane ;)

also: If you know of any other other hilarious work out videos please post them here...I enjoy them very much

I just want to say, Take it easy on yourself.... YOU QUIT SMOKING!!! thats HUGE. now that that is out of the way you can focus on your diet, but first pat yourself on the back for that MAJOR accomplishment!~ you got this! xoxo

oh, snap!

ha!!! i loved it! thanks for sharing xo

I suppose youre right, going from 5000 to 1500 a day might take some time, but I will get it right....

Awesome! I have two friends who healed their eczema by eating this way. Thats why I decided to do it...I figured if it heals the outside of you it probably heals the inside too ;)

Ive cut out grains for the better part of 3 weeks and am totally amazed at how much better I feel....I used to have terrible gas...its decreased dramatically.

Hi Jesse! How long have you been eating this way? I have been trying for a 70% raw diet and have noticed some major changes already...including mental clarity, and its almost like a veil has lifted, and I see people and the world around me with so much more clarity...I feel really in tune alot of the time...if that makes…

Nope. I cannot not wait till people start noticing!

I was wondering that too! lol

You sound like me. I work at a health food store so I would eat the hell out of some expensive health food chips and health food fake orios thinking i was doing no harm, and woke up one morning at 200 lbs. being here has helped so much! if you log every thing you eat, you grow your awareness of just how much you are…

I have this problem also with the boozy drinks. Maybe you can try cutting down? If you had a beer every night, cut back to only on weekends. If you only drank on weekends, cut back to once a month....thats what Im trying....

they are so easy to make at home from beans and whatever veggies you have kicking around , and they are so so SO much better tasting than the boxed ones!

thanks :)

ok so a gallon is 16 cups.

awwww sunfflowers! feed the spirit!

Yum! foraging is awesome... I want to do more of that! I found some chantrelles the other day that were out of thsi world! I used to drink Pine needle tea when I lived in Canada...supposed to stave off the colds...good for you! xo

awww you have GOATS!? i always wanted to have goats...thats awesome! except when they break into your garden....BAD GOATS!! I have the same problem with Deer around here....there are so many...I almost get mad at them and then I remember that if I had to live outside in 100+ heat and see my brethren smooshed along the…

crossing my fingers for ya! sounds yummy! :drinker:

OHMYGOODNESSSSS! that sounds AMAZING!!! you have a big beautiful salad in your yard! I love love love those yellow pear shaped tomatoes. OMGZ Home grown tomatoes > store bought tomatoes = NO COMPARISON

when I married my man, (who has never eaten meat in his life) I also became a vegetarian and gained about 40 lbs. Its because of all the carbs. People think vegetarians just eat vegetables but that is not that case or at least it wasnt our case! we ate tons of pasta, bread, potatoes etc. basically carbs and sugar make you…

there was one other time in my life I lost a lot of weight, and it was by eating an apple for breakfast every day. it really worked for me then, and Im trying it again now...hopefully stick with it for life this time.

Oooh I did that for a while, and totally felt a difference. in the am, our bodies are in cleansing mode. ie getting rid of waste etc, and to do this first thing really helps that process.I read that lemons are a diuretic so they help clean out the liver. i should start doing that again!

ive been part of lots of forums and ive never seen so many meanies....I just figured its just 'cause everyone is hungry.
