Am new to raw foods & wanted to say hi. I'm in Ontario, Canada.

any perimenopausal women out there? I find when I'm ovulating I hardly sleep and it's really crashing my whole system. I watch my magnesium and have begun drinking oatstraw tea...do yoga regularly and meditate and have tried increasing exercise to induce exhaustion ;-)

The hormones win every time! I accept it's part of the cycle and also keep checking and experimenting to see what else might help. thanks!

Does anyone know when my body will start to release some of this extra whight i have on my bod. I have been raw for 1.5 months and really only lost like 10 pounds and am VERY frustrated!! I have been eating i would say 98% raw and thought i would have lost more weight than this by now. I am not fat by any means but do have a winter/depression layer covering my body that needs to go and am frustrated because every day the scale does not budge!!!!

Hi, Aja. Be patient. I actually gained a little weight my first few months on raw and only started dropping weight again after that. I think the body sometimes needs a chance to get used to the changes. You are doing great. Hang in there and stick with the improvements you've made and be patient. Things will start to take off for you when you least expect it.

Also, you might see how much of your calories are coming from raw fats. I think some people's bodies handle fats well and some don't. I have a body that doesn't and when I start using lots of olive oil, avocadoes, and nuts I hold on to weight more. Not saying not to eat those things (well, except maybe olive oil because I'm not so sure it's that beneficial) but if you're eating a lot of the heavier, higher-fat foods try cutting back on them some (while still being sure to get a sufficient amount of omegas, of course) and see if it helps any.

What do you girls do when you are PMS'ing...? I always crave the absolute worst food items I could possibly eat...will this habit go away as I keep eating raw? It drove me CRAZY last week when I was having all of my cravings.
Help!!

I figure anything we either feel more comfortable talking to other women about or are more likely to find interested listeners among women or are more likely to get useful answers from other women . . . those are "women's issues"

Hi everyone,

I will be running a Free Teleclass on Wednesday 1st April (you don't have to be on the call live as it will be recorded but you will have to sign up) where I will share my story of recovery from debilitating eczema and finding my truth. I will also share what worked for me and give all listeners "Seven Red-Hot Ways to Ignite Your Va-Va-VOOM...and Keep It Alight Forever!". I can't wait to share this information and for the first time speak very publicly about how I got to were I am today: feeling incredibly vital, full of energy, healed of my painful eczema and with so much more consciousness I can hardly believe I couldn't see outside the burden of my physical body before!

I hope you'll join me as I so look forward to connecting with you. You can go here to reserve your spot at the live teleclass (via free live webcast where you just listen at the link provided or by phone) or you can listen live at the scheduled time.

This is the link to secure your spot.

Can't wait to connect with you!

Casey

Hi there,
I'm newish to raw food and when I do 100% raw about 2 weeks in my hair seems to come out a bit more than usual in the shower. I know its just the detox because if I include some cooked food it stops straight away but this is freaking me out! Has anyone experienced this or heard anything that would help? Many thanks xx
