Hi Audrey!I actually saw on the internet that eggplant helps maintain and build muscle.. sounds weird but it looked legit..
well if your not pushing the muscle the muscle goes away, simple as that. And if your not eating enough calories your not getting enough food to build the muscle.

heck, look up jericho sunfire on here. this dude is breatharian and NEVER eats! his youtube vids are cool to watch.
you say your not exercising a lot? and your wondering why your losing muscle?
show ...
when u lose weight especially fast ur body has tendency to drop muscle as well. the best way to prevent that is strength training...by using ur muscles ur body will keep them. ur diet alone might not be the only reason u lost muscle especially if ...

Rawk and Roll Princess said… - I was reading through an old post and was curious to know...did the floravital work for you? I think I need to up both my iron, calorie and protein intake is what I got from reading that thread!!! I have two bad bruises and have been really tired meaning I think my iron levels are low!!! I'm adding more greens but I was going to go buy some floravital and wanted to see what you though!!! be well, take care. Thanks for any input you have :)

Sharon said… - Hi Audrey, welcome and thanks for sharing so much of your journey!
I'd love to talk to you about your lentil "addiction" and find out the true root cause. I'm leaving for Raw and Living Spirit Fest on Friday...can you please contact me in late Sept (I'll also be at Tree of Life for a couple of weeks).
B12..I recommend the liquid form from Natural Zing which is somewhat local to you in Mt. Airy, MD. Their MSM powder also rocks!
For trace minerals and when I think I need balance, I like VitaMineral Green (also available at Zing).
re: flax....I hope you are soaking overnight and then grinding so that it breaks up and is gooey before adding to you shakes. Otherwise they are just passing through and you won't get the omega-3s. Another great source of omega-3 is purslane. You see it in sidewalk cracks and everywhere! If you can find some in a clean location (hasn't been fertilized or pesticided) dig it up, transplant, water and watch it grow! It's a weed, so will grow easily and even in a pot or window-box. Cut some and throw it in the blender--stem and all.
hugs and greens,
Sharon

- About Me:
- My raw journey: grew up eating S.A.D., since I was a teenager made multiple attempts to switch to vegetarianism, finally discovered raw veganism in January 2007, experienced intense detox and weight loss, then fell off the wagon in summer 2007, finally got back on the raw vegan wagon in April 2008, then fell off the wagon in August/September 2008. In December 2008, once again went 100% raw. In August 2009, decided to go back to eating cooked fish, cooked/raw eggs, and steamed/cooked veggies, so I am about 75-80% raw right now.
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- I need to be held accountable re: what I eat and how I look, so checking in with other raw foodists on a regular basis is very helpful to keeping me on track.

Have lost about 12 lbs in the past month, I feel ok but not really strong
I just posted a new photo on My Page profile documenting my raw journey. I have lost about 12 lbs in the past month, but I do not feel "zingy" (except just after drinking my green + fruit juices), and I still need lots of sleep. Any tips on how I can improve my regimen are welcome.

Starting back on the raw journey with a photo journal here on this site
Dhrumil is right, the number one reason, at least for me and many other raw folks I have come across, that we don't stick to being raw is the lack of a raw community. I think that is why I failed so many times in the past few years to stay raw. This time, I am going to track my raw journey here on this site mostly with photos of myself to track my progress and sometimes with blog posts. I am hoping to meet more raw friends this way and together we can encourage each other on our individual raw j… Continue

I thought that it was illegal to sell unpasteurized almonds in California?
whew1!!
OMG
steamed? I needed a nutcracker to open them and it was really hard to get them opened. You think? My pristine lips touched something that was steamed>??
Why would anyone water fast from unripe pineapple?
its a pretty good video, POOR POOR GEORGE
He is showing that is one bad ass
My grandmother turned me on to this one.
What about that little rock poppy segment in the middle that doesnt quite fit in with the rest of it?
Its beautiful though, 80's ruled the world of great sappy songs.
Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)
thanks jeff :)
Ive fallin for a couple of gay friends before myself.
No Ive never seen this video before, but Ill watch it now.
Wait, should I, or will I end up always thinking of the video every time I hear the song?
Not sure if I should watch it now.
yeah it's worth doing kelly
We know the holiday season can be busy, with lots of parties and gatherings. Most of these events serve up sugary, artificial, and/or unhealthy foods making it especially hard to stay with a raw or vegan diet.
So, come and celebrate the holidays ...
wonderful. Trader Joe's has good prices too. And they are only a few blocks away from me so this is great.
I certainly believe you. I have just only seen them steamed or boiled at TJs so this is especially exciting to me that they have nice bags of raw ones to buy.
it was me being incredulous in a good way.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ONE
I've eaten them raw (same brand) and they're good:)
Yes if you show up
