Hi
I would like imput from someone who has tried the vegan raw food diet….
I currently weigh 124 lbs 5′ 2” and I am wondering how fast OR how much can you lose weight with the vegan raw food diet?
you need proteins you need proper food or you will be full of stretch marks
I don’t want to spend money on raw yeast or organic yeast if I don’t have to, I still have plenty of baking yeast, is this harmful when using the raw foods diet?
No its not harmful at all.
Hey I am a college student and would love to start the raw food detox diet, but as you can assume I am not that rich. I was wondering if there was a way I didnt have to pay for a book, but if not which one to buy? Also whats the cheapest way to buy these foods?
I have two books about that, and they are really useful. I personally haven’t started the diet yet, but that’s because I’d like to plant most of the food myself. I think that’s one of the ways of keeping it cheap.
look info up in the net, but watch out to see if the sites are reliable. even best: ask people who know about it! I don’t know if it’s very common in the US, but there are always a lot of people who eat raw food around, just look and you’ll find
avoid veggie restaurants unless you’re rich, they’re usually expensive xD
and good luck! that’s a very goos iniciative, for your health and for the planet! *-*
I see a lot of the square black models, the Excalibur? Is there a big difference between that and the old school round ones? I was going to get a round one because they are less expensive, just making sure it has a thermostat, will this work for raw food cooking?
My family uses this one, we are about 80% Raw and it is perfect for us!

Hope I helped you on your raw journey!
A juice fast is a type of detox diet. A juice fast involves the short-term intake of raw vegetable and fruit juice and water only. Proponents of juice fasting use juice because it’s thought to be a good source of vitamins and antioxidants.
A juice fast is considered an extreme form of detoxification because no solid food is consumed. More moderate detox methods, such as the detox diet include solid food.
Don’t do detox diet. It’s a great way to f*ck yourself up for real. I still want to know who decided that malnourishment and malnutrition is the best way to have a sexy body.
there is so much info out there on healthy weights, diet and eating that I am confused.
Food – some say i should eat little and often, others say no more than 3 meals a day and some say drink this liquid meal. which is it???? Some things which I think is healthy has suprise ingredients in it – fruit flakes sounded like they were good, but when i read the packet they had a lot of sugar in them. My cottage cheese was high in fat because it contained mayonaise. do i subject myself to a life or raw fruit and vegetables???? ARGHHH HELP?????
Plans – some plans count calories, fibre, carbs, salt, sugar, points, syns. some dont mix carbs and proteins and some are protein only….which is it????
Weighing – some say weigh weekly, daily and some say dont weigh at all go by feel and dress size and inches…….which is it?
Exercise – some say walk 10k steps a day, some say be actively involved in my housework and others say do an hour a day for 5 days a week. ????????
HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT IS SUPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR ME AND WHAT ISNT???? ive havent had the best examples of healthy living in my life, and i cant seem to get a straight answer anywhere.
ha ha ha – funny but never the less – i am still confused
You will find that most of the people offering advice are trying to make money one way or another, either by books, supplements, weightloss shakes etc.
The answer is in fact very simple. Think of your body as the most complex car. It requires fuel (calories) to keep it going. In the boot it has a fuel storage area for surplus fuel (fat). It requires fuel additives to keep the whole thing running smoothly (nutrients including protein).
By eating a healthy balanced diet, you ensure that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. You can supplement with a good multivitamin and minerals but unless you are body building, you should not supplement with anything else.
Consider that your car requires more fuel to travel more miles, however, the more fuel you carry, the more fuel you require to travel the same distance. This is why obese people can lose weight faster because they require more calories to do the same job as a slim person.
Now, this super-duper Kit car of yours’ engine is running 24-7 just ticking over and consuming fuel all the time. This is called the Basal Metabolic Rate. This is how many calories it needs just to keep the air-con and onboard computer working. This is a figure based on gender, age, height and weight (mine is about 1879 calories a day – 6′ 200lb male 36yrs). If you eat less calories than your BMR, you will lose weight. A word of caution here, if you eat less than 1000 calories a day, it starts to mess things up, your car will go into energy saving mode.
So, you have your car, you know how much fuel it needs however, you have a load of spare fuel in the boot (fat). You top up the fuel tank with 1500 calories a day (leaving a deficit of 300 calories which will be taken from the boot) and you drive for 1 hr (another 500 calories from the boot) You go to work all day (calories dependent on what you do for a living) and drive for another hr (another 500 calories)
I hope this analogy helps you see, that as long as you are eating a healthy balanced diet of at least 1000 calories but less than your BMR, you will lose weight. You can’t not lose weight this way. You should also see that by doing an extra hour of exercise a day, you can burn about an extra 500 calories which is 1lb per week (on top of what you are already losing) The more exercise you do, the more you burn. It really does not matter how you eat, however some people find that by planning their meals (6 a day for some people) they can help prevent snacking (it’s surprising how the odd cake and chocolate can find its way into your diet when you are peckish) So the rules to follow are:
1) Work out your BMR (send me your age,gender, height and weight and I’ll calculate for you)
2) Don’t eat more than your BMR each day (keep a diary if need be)
3) Don’t eat less than 1000 calories a day (and don’t let your body fat percentage drop below 10%)
4) Do 1 hr of cardio (running, cycling, swimming, wii-fit, aerobics) each day
5) Make sure that your diet is balanced. You should still eat sugars and fats, just not too much.
6) If you like junk-food, limit yourself to once a week and reduce the rest of your diet to compensate for the influx of calories.
The extra exercise is not necessary, but it will speed up weight-loss and help you tone and be fitter. And here’s the great bit, toned muscle burns more calories even when its not doing anything.
