I went raw in November and the weight literally started to disappear daily! It's been phenomenal, especially considering how wonderful I've been feeling. My energy has skyrocketed, my skin has cleared up, and my emotions have been so much more fun! I hadn't realized how much how I ate impacted how I felt. I'll never go back to my old way of eating, EVER!

Here's a before and in progress photo. I bought a shirt and pair of pants I LOVED in too small sizes to monitor my progress. As you can see in the before shot I was literally spilling out of the pants! Now they fit and that feels FABULOUS. I've actually gone out and bought another too small outfit. One day in a month or so I'll post that before and after as well.



Yours in health,
Sheryl

I wanna be a weight loss success story! This has been eluding me during the 3 months of being raw, that's why I had to retreat into my cave to figure out why I lost a few kilos, then began to gain again aaaaaaaagh! To top it off some of my chronic health probs reared their ugly heads again. I went right off the rails over Easter, eating toasted cheese sangers, hot cross buns, french vanilla slices! Now I've got the gs thing working for me and I've stopped eating nuts and seeds, the excess baggage will transform into muscle and vitality.

Any tips or ideas from you slender gorgeous people would be welcome.

Reading 801010 is miraculous, I am learning so much from it... incredible things about the way food affects our bodies.

I too have effortlessly lost weight on raw but I want to get down to a size six and I know the best way to do it is 801010.  At the moment I'm on a nut binge and that won't help me!

Doug Graham actually says in 801010 if the choice is between high fat raw and low fat cooked... to choose the low fat cooked! he also recommends an absolute maximum of 12 high fat meals a year!

Hey Dani, How can you say 'I'm not gorgeous?' Even in the teensy weeny photo you shine out, and your gorgeousness is very evident in the warmth and generosity of your words. Thanks for the info. I don't have the 80.10.10 book as yet. Green for Life is my current support and it's challenging for me to eat that much fruit and not eat animal protein.  Lots of animal protein and very little fruit have been the 'rules' for so long, I freak out every now and then and eat animal protein. I've been hypothyroid for many years and would dearly love to give the thyroid tabs the flick. I'm being careful not to have too much of the brassica family cos I believe they can further suppress thyroid function.

It was very useful for me to read your 'statistics'. I get a bit tied to my body composition - weight, muscle, fat etc. Even though I've gained weight, a few people have commented on how much weight I've lost! So I guess I just better stop whinging and go and make another gs.

Thanks PrincesssBee too, great to know you're doing so well.

She finally found a paradise it seems."

rancid oils and animal products are well documented in creating thyroid conditions.
