Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Tommie, I had read one of his books before and liked it, but after looking at the web page you listed it reminded me of the many annoying infomercials you see everyday. I honestly don't think being healthy needs a magic formula. However, if this works for you and others, then go for it. Let us know how it goes. -Mike --- Tommie <jerushy wrote: > Anyone on here going to do the Body Enlightenment System? > http://snipurl.com/s3ui I've taken the plunge and am going to be > starting it on July 8.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I don't think there's any " magic formula " involved. Some of us need guidance and some don't. I do. If I hadn't had Roger and Fred a year ago, I wouldn't be able to tell you today that I've been 100% raw all that time with only one cooked meal. As for the healthy living, BES includes much more than that. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hi, Tommie, I signed up today. I was inspired after hearing Frederic's interview on Raw Vegan Radio, and by your endorsment. I agree, the website is a bot too " infomercial-ish " , but I have the same criticism of The Best Day Ever site, too. I felt I needed a real focused guidance after foundering around on my own for a while. I don't think I've ever posted here... I've been lurking for a few months... I am Emily, I'm 41 and the mother of three (8 yrs, 5 yrs and almost 3). I'm the only " raw " one but my husband is very supportive. No major health problems, I'd like to lose 10-15 pounds (I'm 5'6 " , 134), and even going raw I've lost only about 4# (since January '06. My youngest still nurses 2-3x a day, I don't know if that has anything to do with it) I've been a vegetarian, with on and off stints as a vegan for for 21 years. I went back to vegan about 18 months ago, and last spring started to Follow the 'Eat to Live' plan (not raw). I wanted to try going raw in 2002 when Roxanne Klein was in the news a lot, but then I got pregnant and decided not to change my diet too much at that time. Then last winter in VegNews magazine there was na article with vegan athletes, a number of whom described themselves as " 80% raw, or 90% raw " , and I thought, what am I waiting for?! I was 100% raw for about 85 days, then, out of the blue. really started craving bread products. I tried some baked pita chips my son had, believing they would taste like cardboard to me, but, alas, they were yummy to me! Since then I've had a couple of slips, mostly crunchy, dry crispy things- even potato chips- maybe once a week. I am hoping to put all that behind me now and really get on a " plan " that'll work for me! Thanks for your knowledge, Tommie and every one here (I love Judy's blog, like everyone else!), and congrats on your one year anniversary, Tommie!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Great, Emily! I didn't really _endorse_ it since I'll be doing it for the first time along with you! What I've heard from the participants in the first one is that it's life-changing. When I went to the BES website http://snipurl.com/s3ui the last time, it was down to nine openings so you must've gotten in under the wire. Enrollment is supposed to be open until tomorrow at midnight (don't know which time zone) but it may have to close soon unless he decides to take more than the original 150. The site IS sorta flashy but he has a lot of good information on there. You are lucky that your husband is supportive. What about the kids? Are they interested in eating your way? Maybe after he/they see how it improves you, they'll want to transition, too. Nursing should increase your weightloss but your body does what it wants, pretty much. You didn't say what you are eating so I can't hazard a guess as to what is going on. One of the perks of BES is a forum so you'll be able to post there and get more help. You may not be getting enough calories from sweet fruits to keep the cravings away. Just a guess. Sounds like going raw is a natural progression for you as it was for me. I never thought that I'd be able to do it as quickly as I did, though. I have lots to do before I go to bed, so I'd better hush! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 http://snipurl.com/s3ui Are you trying this one? It worked for me, just now. If you can't get there from that one, try the one on my blog. It's buried in the text on day before yesterday. I didn't put a permanent link there since it's a time sensitive program.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Tommie, I know you didn't endorse the program, as such, but I think I've read you respect Frederic's 'stuff'. I'm not super concerned with losing weight; I feel great when I eat 'all raw', and that's what spurs me on, I just imagined I'd be a skinny rail once I started down this path! A few months ago, when I first went raw, I was typically eating a lot of avocados and nut cheeses, but now I pretty much have a green smoothie (from Green for Life) for breakfast, a salad OR two nori rolls for lunch, and a green smoothie for dinner. If I am busy and out of the house I can stay away from snacking on my flax crackers! I was consistently weighing about 131 for a few weeks, but then I started excercising regularly and gained 2 or 3 pounds, but i figured that was muscle and don't stress about it. I have noticed when I get to about 129, my hunger level goes up. I thought maybe it's because I'm nursing. Anyway, she should stop soon (I hope!). My oldest weaned himself at 3-and-a-half. I think I've been nursing and/or pregnant for the past 9 years! My dauhgter, she is two, loves to make, and eat the flax crackers with me, and she loves salad. My older kids will eat a salad if it is just cuccumbers and tomatoes, and my middle one likes the green smoothies. My husband would like to go raw a few days a week, but not 'take the plunge' - yet.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Just a quick FYI. Anyone interested in getting the BES at the reduced rate will need to do it today, from what I understand.
