Almost everyone loses weight on raw foods while eating a very

satisfying, fulfilling and tasty diet. Even raw fats are processed

differently. And now (summer) is the time for it. The best thing to

do is to self-educate. For example, the largest study on nutrition

ever is The China Study, and it's findings directly debase your

doctor's prejudices (that is all they are). At some point you have

to decide WHO you are going to listen to. Most of us in this group

know that doctors are great for tests and stuff when you want to

know something, but that ultimately, it is not wise to listen to

them for wellness and nutrition information, because they are not

HEALERS, they are cutters and pasters, etc. Hippocrates, the first

doctor, said LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE. It's ironic that all doctors,

including your own, have to take the Hippocratic oath upon being

indoctrinated into the western medical system..... Overall, if you

are going to listen to your doctor, then nothing we say will

convince you. If you are here because you want to know more about a

TRULY healthy diet, then you have to be prepared to stand up to your

doctor, as many have had to do. There is a TON of information

available on the raw food diet. One of the best overviews EVER is

called LIVING FOOD OPTIMUM HEALTH by Brian Clements. Excellent,

excellent, excellent. That said, you are in the right place to find

out more about it. It's as simple as eating an apple, though, truly.

Especially this time of year. WElcome!

Hi Karen,

 

Weight loss is often one of the " side effects " of the healthful

lifestyle that comes from eating a raw diet. For some people the

weight loss is significant and rapid. I saw that some one else

suggested educating yourself and I agree. The same person suggested

you could read The China Study. I agree, it is very informative. I

feel like your request for a simple daily plan is looking for a more

specific and immediate answer than that.

 

There is a great book called The 80/10/10 Diet, written by Doug

Graham. (His website is www.foodnsport.com)

 

80/10/10 is a way of eating that suggests that at least 80% of your

food come from carbs, no more than 10% from fat and no more than 10%

protein. Doug Graham suggests that those foods be raw, ripe,

organic fruits and leafy greens.

 

An example of a simple day? Well, I can give you a sample of what a

day might look like for me.

 

Breakfast a smoothie made of:

20 oz of fresh squeezed orange juice

16 oz of frozen strawberries

Blended this makes a very thick, very tasty drink.

 

Lunch:

1 whole pineapple chopped

 

Dinner: (salad)

1 lb of romaine lettuce

1 chopped cucumber

 

Salad dressing:

tomato / celery / red or yellow pepper

blended.

 

For snacks you could have any fruits you desire. I often choose

bananas because they are so portable. You didn't say any thing

about your current way of eating, or how much water you are

drinking. If you are over weight, and I assume that you are from

the question, hydration is important. Overweight people are

chronically dehydrated and people who eat SAD (Standard American

Diet) are even more so.

 

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Hi Karen,

I started the 80 10 10 diet by Douglas Graham exactly 3 months ago,

and yesterday I weighed myself. I lost 15 pounds during those 3 months,

and I wasn't really trying to lose weight. I went from 137 - 122, and

my size reduced from a size 12 to a size 8. It's a great diet, and I'm

hardly ever hungry, as long as I plan well for the day, especially when

I'm away from the house!

Hope that helps,

Lynne

and ive lost 15lbs in 6 weeks....exactly what happened one year ago...

 

i felt a little weaker this time around but i think its dehydration

cuz i go long periods w/o eating...not very hungry most of the

time...without starch to retain water like a reservoir its easy to get

dehydrated....but otherwise feel great...

 

if this is starvation it feels pretty darn good to me...

 

peace
