Ann
Wow! It is amazing transformation. Look at all you accomplished, you can loose those 20lbs! Good for you.
Nicole
Wow -- the weight loss is awesome and impressive, but WOW the pictures! You look like you got 15 years younger!!!!
Sometimes it takes something hardcore like Mickey D's to shock you back into reality... veggies do a body good!
Sounds good! :) I have heard that raw placenta tastes like eggs too!

- Why Do You Want to Join Raw Fu?
- I'm so siked to do raw food again. On my last go around with it I had amazing results. On my first three days I expelled so much toxic soup out of my body that I lost 12 lbs in just those three days. Let me tell you the toxic soup was very very disgusting. I couldn't believe that it had been there just sitting in my intestines and colon. Though when I had done this the first time, I had cut out breads and coffee as well. I drank only morning detox tea water and green tea through the day. Eventually I added in breads, but only gluten free breads. Breads that I baked made out of brown rice flour, Amaranth, buckwheat and things like that. Currently I eat Ezekiel breads, they have wheat but it's sprouted wheat which apparently doesn't have gluten.
Anyway...
As I continued onwards I ended up getting down to 120lbs and a size two dress size. However I would also lift weights for an hour and bicycle for at least thirty minutes sometimes sixty minutes a day. I felt so good. I truly believe the weight training helped a lot because I had been at 120lbs before and not in a dress size two. You know, the muscle weighing more than the fat and all that jazz.
So here's the thing, I was totally going strong felt great, loved the way raw made me feel, then in a moment of sheer stupidity I ate a Mc Donalds cheeseburger!!! Immediately I felt dizzy, weird, just not right. Later that night I felt sluggy and tired. Even later still I began to develop severe stomach cramping. It was awful. At first I suspected the organic raspberries that I had eaten earlier in the day. I thought perhaps I had picked up a parasite. then I thought e-coli from the burger. Well I ended up sick for an entire month. I mean bad liquid b.m.'s five times a day for a month. Unfortunately due to this, my stomach turned at the thought of dark leafy greens, broccoli and all other things which were good for me. Instead I craved breads and cakes during this sickness. Soon enough I packed on twenty lbs and hadn't found the motivation to get back to one hundred percent raw. It's been six months now since I've been off of raw. :( I don't feel nearly as well as I had when I was raw. My energy level stinks, so I'm drinking more coffee.
so, come to find out yesterday when i was speaking to my friend through IM. She had also been completely raw for three months when she decided to eat a Burger king burger. She went through the same exact illness that I went through but for three weeks. she ended up gaining ten lbs and she also has not found the motivation to get back into raw food and exercise.
I WANT THE CHALLENGE TO MAKE A CHANGE!

Death has come to court my friends mother, may she have a safe journey into the next realms.
Here I sit after just getting off of the phone with Amanda trying to piece through everything that I've been told other than the obvious that Cathy Feilds has passed on. The entire thing from the very beginning to me, was a case of neglect by our medical industry.
The last time I saw her was this past Halloween. She saw the girls, we chatted she was herself. Yes Cathy Feilds and I have quite a past. As much as she liked me being Amanda's friend and I liked her as Amanda's mother we would get in… Continue

Lost 12 lbs by going back to RAW! Also controlling my gestational diabetes through RAW!!!!
Just a quick little note to update about the gestational diabetes. Since diagnosed I've gone back to raw and it has totally controlled my blood sugar levels. I was also re-reading info on the blood type diet, diet as in a lifestyle change, and for my blood type it states that I need to eat mostly vegetables in their raw form with the exception of certain fishes, chicken and occasional sprouted breads.
From 207 lbs down to 195 lbs. Have a long way to go again after she is born!

Gestational Diabetes :(
I can't type much about it because it makes me too emotional and I start crying. But yes I have gestational diabetes! :(
I know what to do. During this pregnancy in the beginning I was doing well all raw, some time into the third month I think it was... I was making a salad for dinner one night and it just made me sick. And I mean really sick! I tend to have severities to light, sound, color, etc while pregnant. So just looking at the salad made me ill.
I stopped eating raw.
This was not some… Continue

It's been A VERY LONG TIME!
Hi All! Just popping in to say I'm still here. I've just been very busy with pregnancy, homeschooling kiddos and our ebay business! My husband quit his full time job to work with me at home on our ebay store. I will write more about it time permitting. I'm exhausted. Thus far in the pregnancy I have had a blood clot scare. I was checked by a doppler sonogram technician for clots. Went through worrying about how to deliver baby. Doc said that going all Natural no drugs would be perfectly fine for… Continue

Rene said… - Hi. How far along are you? How raw are you. I'm wondering if it's safe to start a raw diet when you get pregnant or if it's not safe cuz of the detox. Just curious.. can you share any knowledge you have? Thanks.
