you are all rawesome people. I'm in transition mode myself. I am aware that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train. I want to join this light and am advancing towards it. Now in my life I do not have the pieces in place to go all raw. Everyday I get closer and seeing other people living it inspires me to go the distance.

Change is always great, transition is change. What an adventure we have as human beings. ;)

Last summer I was high raw like 70/30. My garden was kicking out tomatoes, kale, and peppers like crazy. I bicycle commute and weather-wise riding days were favorable. Winters here in Chicagoland are something fierce. Right now I haven't been too amped about getting on my bicycle to grocery shop. Now I catch a ride to the supermarket when somebody else is going. I definitely add McDougall soup, Sunshine burgers, frozen vegetables etc. to my grocery list. Out of simplicity and the fact It warms me up.

I'm in my second month raw. I just picked up Natalia Rose's book, The Raw Food Detox Diet and am loving it! The food combo makes a lot of sense. I've lost a few pounds but it wasn't happening as easily as I would have liked and I think this may kick start it. I broke out my spiralizer for the first time tonight and had raw zucchini pasta with pesto and flax crackers. Raw chocolate ice cream for dessert after I get the kids in bed. Mama's treat!

I know i have posted a few things about the lack of losing weight but I am still a little frustrated. I really have not lost all the much weight and i am honestly like 98-99% raw on a daily basis fro almost 2 months now. I am in love with eating raw and really have only had a few cravings so far. It seems that other people that are not even as raw as me for lack of a better term are losing or have lost way more lbs than me so i keep wondering if i am doing something wrong??? Could i be getting too much oil on my salads? anyone experiencing anything similar or can help me out here???? thanks ;-)

Check out Natalia Rose's books, aja8505. I've never really been aware of food combining, but she explains it easily. Never combine the four food groups: starch, flesh, fresh fruits and nuts/seeds/dried fruits. Always eat fruits alone and wait 30 minutes before eating something else (45 for bananas). Avocados are a fruit but combine as starch. Wait 3-4 hours before switching groups. Raw veggies combine with everything.
Also, dry brush! It's good for your skin but also helps you release weight through your skin.
I hope this helps! I lost 2 pounds my first day - yesterday - so I will let you know if it keeps working for me. I'm 38 with 2 little kids so my body doesn't release weight easily.

Jennifer great advice!

Can you share what you eat for a normal day with us. Please also list how many times you are eating a day as well. With this information we can target in on the problem quite fast.
Gracias,
Burke Bryant
