Wow, that's thin! I'm 6' at 145lbs and all my friends are screaming that I'm

way too underweight. I've never felt better in my life so I just blow them

off - but at 125 lbs I would be concerned. Not trying to tell you how to run

your business, just concerned, that's all, feel free to blow me off :>) I

don't know if you are male or female, but females, in my opinion, seem to

hold a lighter weight better than males at that height.

Yeah, I'm a female! It's the same weight I was when I was in my twenties and

feel the best at it. Females do have smaller muscles, but I do lift weights and

exercise. Most of my family and friends my age are carrying much more weight,

so I do look a little out of place.

Hi all

I don't soak any of my nuts either, eat at least one avocado per day

minimum, a huge salad with dressing that contains both olive and

flaxseed oil too. Other than that - I try to eat whatever my body

seems to crave. I have no set eating " schedule " . It appears to be

working well.

 

I'm 5'6 " and weigh in at 105. (I went 100% raw in August 2004, at

which time I weighed 135). I have folks tell me I am too thin, but

ya know what? I simply don't let it bother me. If I felt bad it

would be a concern, but I feel better than I've felt in years, and

have heaps of energy.

 

cheers

Nothing really physical, just an overall disgruntledness commingled

with my feeling good about being raw. There's just a lot of anger I

guess at trying to stay raw and it translates to a heaviness of

emotion that I identify as mental pain or detox. I suppose my body

is adjusting to the diet too, although I don't sense anything. I

know I have to rest frequently and let my mind unwind. A couple

hours on the internet for example and I have to lay down and let my

angry mind process itself back to quietude.

Hi Lane,

I think my weight has stabalized - not really sure tho as I haven't

been to the gym in two weeks to step on a scale. It's funny

actually - when eating SAD I used to be real concerned about

that " number " and tried to weigh in every day just to be sure I

wasn't gaining. For a time after going raw I was concerned about

losing. Now I simply don't care -- its nice.

 

I think the body knows what it supposed to weigh, and just goes

there. So for now, I'm going to sit back and see what happens.

 

cheers

Hi Terry. I'm glad to hear that. I keep losing weight eating like this. And yes

I eat a ton of nuts and avocados too. The nuts are the only thing I eat that are

not completely raw. I keep thinking I don't want to get " too " thin. But

listening to you, maybe it will be fine. I'd love to feel " better than I've felt

in years " Did the weight finally stabilize or are you still losing. I've been

raw since the end of Sept. 2004. I still seem to be dropping weignt. Thanks,

I just eat 'em in their fresh natural state. I don't soak 'em, and I don't use

dehydrators or any other fance equipment. I just eat my raw food the way it

comes. Yours in health, Lane

HI all

 

with nuts and seeds they need to be soaked first to get rid of the enzyme

inhibitors

then you can dehydrate them, to dry them out, before eating.

Hi Lane, Terry and others,

 

When I stopped eating grains and ate just great amounts of fruits and nuts

(unpresoaked), l gradually lost in 5 weeks 5 kilos (11lbs). Then my weight

stopped at 44 kg (97 lbs). I'm 160 cm (5'3'').

 

I hope I have calculated it well because I have never used these weights and

measures: 1 pound = 454 grammes, 1 foot = 30,5 cm.

 

I am not 100% raw at the moment. When I eat something cooked, then I gain a

little what disappears again on eating raw.

Hello Katka. Your post makes sense to me. Frederic Patenaude says, in Ras

Secrets, that we are not meant to eat grains. We are herbavores. Grains are for

birds. They are grainivores.

I eat a simple raw diet without all the fancy spices and oils and such. I

feel happy and sated. I do eat plenty of nuts, avocados and bananas. And I am

not completly raw due to the nuts, although I will aim in that direction

eventually.

I lost ten pounds last Spring on the South Beach diet. and then have lost 17

more since going raw. That's 25 pounds in about 8 months. I find that the body

loses some and then stops. When it's ready it will lose some more. I think I am

still gonna lose some more before my body is finished.

Happy Day everyone. Lane
