I've been a vegetarian for most of my life. In 2008 I started to more and more turn towards a healtier living by adding more fruits and salads to my way of eating.
From Jan 09 till around Mar 09 I lost 7kg. Then towards the end of Feb 09 I found Alissa Cohen's Board and joined in the March Challenge - eating 100% raw for 30 days. I did well, managed without problems and also lost another 5 to 6 kg so I went for the April challenge as well and I finished it with being successfully raw, only this time i hadn't lost any more kilos.
Meanwhile I have been 100% raw since then (with a few slips along the road), but I can't seem to loose weight and honestly speaking, I have no idea why, but it frustrates me :-(( Except of these 12 to 13 kgs I have not lost any more kilos ...
So I'm searching for friends and people who may have experienced or are still experiencing the same thing. I'm also searching for recipes, advice and more info on raw food.

roh sowieso.. aber gegen ein gutes mater paneer is ja auch nix einzuwenden... was wäre ich ohne den taste of india
nehm ich dir überhaupt nicht übel, ich seh das ja genauso ;-) mein netzteil ist dazu noch kaputt gegangen, daher habe ich gerade internet nur auf der arbeit, ich habe zumindest einen kleinen obstjob gefunden. vermutlich können die mich aber nicht als teilzeitkraft übernehmen. aber egal, der laden ist nett, in laufnähe, und gut für kontakte.
o.k., ich gebe zu, ich bin meganeidisch auf deine sternemenüs. ich habe gestern reiswaffeln gegessen, und fühle mich schrecklich. so müde und langsam. kanns kaum erwarten, die kollektion fertig zu haben.......
aufräumen klingt gut, ich freu mich schon, wenn ich wieder zeit habe, bei mir auszumisten. ich werde meine diplomkollektion fotografieren. das macht man meistens, damit man sich besser bewerben kann. kann ja schlecht meine gesamten klamotten mitnehmen zum bewerbungsgespräch ;-)
habe eben mal deine neue HP angesehen, die wird ja wirklich ausgesprochen schön! bin mal gespannt auf alles, was du da so drauf packst. ich kanns kaum erwarten, an meiner rumzuschrauben.
Hey there, nope, I only advertised it on facebook. What's the Berlin board? Something on give it to me raw? I have to get more into it. Right now I don't have time cause I am chefing on Bali, but soon...
Hallo RawVeggie,
ich glaube's ja nicht. Du machst die Ausbilung bei Britta? Ich ware eine ihrer ersten Teilnehmerin vor 2 Jahren.
Ich wohne nicht sehr weit von ihr. Vielleicht können wir uns dann treffen.
Schade, dass du dich nicht für den Level 1 und 2 entschieden hast.
Vielleicht im September?
Liebe Grüsse

neither wins because the world isn't fair- and we are constantly having to deal with it. the more conscious you are the more you see how unethical people rule the world and you can't wish them away by feeding your happiness with cacao. it's a fun ...
How long did 50lbs last you? A week? I would recommend that a person get some greens to go along with their bananas.. did you forage for any greens that week?
Wow Id like to hear more on this from other people as well. I am not sure where to get info on things like this either- I just know my personal experience with a low carb diet. I still believe in low carb for the most part but plant based live foo...
That is a good point Angus. I have found that a lot of fundamentalist religions accuse everyone else of worshiping the devil and it like a blind hysteria- like all these other people have a black bible in their house and secretely worship a statue...

Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.

What other book can you recommend Angus?...staying with those kinda ideas, living in alignment with nature, natural hygiene, fruit diets, fasting (or anyone else :).
You know, I'm aware that we made some groundbreaking discoveries in recent years ...
I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...
