Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 When I saw Vict. B in person (just a few months ago), I asked her how much she weighed cause she sure looked big for a raw vegan. She said 160 lbs, and that she should weigh 140. IMO, she is probably overeating NUTS with all those burgers that Igor makes. Jenny near San Diego once 215lbs, now size 10 at 130lbs >In Victoria's book, " 12 Steps to Raw " She said that the lipase in avocados helps break down body fat. She said the more she ate the more weight she lost. I was looking for someone else that might had this experience because I am aware, as you, of their high fat content. ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Jennifer Of course saying how to lose weight is the easiest thing in the world. Any four year old child could tell you how. The problem is executing the obvious. Cooked food is an addiction. First problem is that you have a whole ecosystem living in your gut that needs its fix three times a day with lots of processed food. When you are rid of that lot the task gets easier. A fast is a good way to start and then eat lots of vegetables every time a craving comes on. If you do not like the idea of a water fast, try juicing. If the vegetable juicing gets bitter- try throwing in an apple. It may give a little wind but it will take the bitterness off. You will never gain weight eating vegetables and the greener the better. Of course you will " detoxify{ " which may lead to all kinds of symptoms but slow down if any dizziness comes your way. Most people take a few months to transition to 100% raw. In answer to your question implying how much and how fast does the weight come off, I suggest that there are individual differences but you will straighten up very fast on this diet. Hope this helps Peter palomino03 [palomino03] 25 February 2004 20:26 rawfood Re: [Raw Food] losing weight can you lose alot of weight? if so how much how quick? whats a good bood with recipes for dinner etc? thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Kudos Peter. Now that I'm rid of hopefully most of the cooked food ecosystem in me, it is getting easier. I hope it gets even easier after a few months raw passes and I'd like to see my burgeoning horniness die down too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Cut down on the fats to reduce the sexual impulse. That means nut, avocados...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Yea, right, like I'm going to eat much raw cabbage. I don't think so, but thanks for the suggestion. It's not a tasty item, almost on that can't eat it because I can't make a meal out of it list. No, my sex addiction will just have to die down in spite of the avocados, but I would find it really challenging to give up the nuts. I plan to at some point, just because they seem to just run right through me and when I eat them I always overeat them for emotional relief, especially at night. rawfood , " Peter Gardiner " <petergardiner@e...> wrote: > Cut down on the fats to reduce the sexual impulse. > > That means nut, avocados... > > Cabbage is good > > Peter > > > Rich Sachs [seconaphim] > 26 February 2004 21:42 > rawfood > Re: [Raw Food] losing weight > > Kudos Peter.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Rich, Sometimes I buy one of those red cabbages. I have found that taste is quite a good guide. When they taste boring and dull I stop eating them. Strangely the same cabbage can taste excellent at another time. I wonder about eating those great big cabbages that are yellow on the inside. The yellow part is not so good. A caveat I have is not to become too dependent on any one food. I think David Wolfe put me on track there in his Sun Food Success Diet.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Have you thought of keeping a bio-rhythm diary of when during your day/week you find certain foods more or less palatable? Wonder if that would through up any surprises? And for women what it would say about hormonal influences? rawfood , " Peter Gardiner " <petergardiner@e...> wrote: > Rich, > > Sometimes I buy one of those red cabbages.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I've only seen the light green, not so great tasting, used for coleslaw cabbage. But if I see any tasty red ones, maybe I'll try one. Spiritually, not so much physically, I don't want " to become too dependent on any one food. " For now though, I NEED avocados and raw nuts.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 No. I'm not into the scientific angle at all really. I just eat whatever raw plant food I want at any given moment. I trust my intuition to tell me what's the next healthy choice. I don't want to be too concerned about food, there's many more interesting things to do than be concerned about food. rawfood , " Velvet " <la_velvet> wrote: > > > Have you thought of keeping a bio-rhythm diary of when during your > day/week you find certain foods more or less palatable? > > Wonder if that would through up any surprises? > > And for women what it would say about hormonal influences?
