Date: March 06, 2009 08:39PM Hello Folks,
I have been raw for over 2 months now...100%. I weighed 153 pounds when i started. Just so you know i was a vegan for 3 years prior, eating 70% raw. So it wasnt a huge huge change. I now weigh 137 pounds. I have also been running for 30 min a day 5-6 days a week. Not sure why i am losing so much, but i am looking super skinny. Looking quite unhealthy. Very boney. Any comments.

A few thoughts: It's my understanding that typically, when you start out 100% raw, you lose a great deal of weight while detoxification of all tissues occurs. You really thin out, then you gradually put weight back on, provided you're eating sufficient calories for maintenance. Maybe this is what's happening to you. Are you still touring? Maybe you should consider moving around on stage while performing as the exercise it is, in which case, that's a lot of additional calorie burning you're doing with the running. Maybe add more fat-rich stuff to your diet. Eat more avocados, coconut butter, more dried dates and figs, maybe combined with raw nut butter. Good luck! Re: Concerned About Weight Loss...help needed

Date: March 06, 2009 11:00PM Fats are an easy way to get calories (snacking on raw nuts?). But if you want to stay with the fruit how about juice? Its soooooooo good. Re: Concerned About Weight Loss...help needed

Smoothies might be a good way to add calories without a lot of extra fat. Sharrhan:

The key is fat and starchy carbs; everything else you're eating is spot-on. Re: Concerned About Weight Loss...help needed

Date: March 08, 2009 12:28AM Thanks so much for the replies.
So if you were to do 5 things that would increase some weight, and doing it healthy and raw. What would you do? Yams? more nuts ( chewed well ), seeds, avocado, hemp, sprouted grains? If someone wants to make a list of some great suggestions that would help me out huge! thanks so much everyone. Re: Concerned About Weight Loss...help needed

Date: March 08, 2009 12:32AM Yams raw? Hmmm . . . other suggestions you made yourself sound great. Just eat more of these things, and calorie-dense stuff like dried figs and dates and nut butters, you should be A-OK. Trust your own wisdom--you sound like you know what to do already!

Date: March 09, 2009 11:52AM Hi,
That was the exact reason why I quit my 100% rawfood diet. (losing too much weight) By the way.. Do you soak the sunflower seeds and almonds before eating? 5-8 hours of soaking makes them more nutritious, more easily digestible and better tasting too. for example soaking sunflower seeds gets the XX vitamin to increase by 300%. The seed starts to prepare for growing and change starch to more useful ingredients. Cant remember anymore what vitamin the XX was.. probably C. Re: Concerned About Weight Loss...help needed

Date: March 09, 2009 07:04PM Fruit, fruit, fruit. Eat as much as you can. I probably eat twice as much fruit as you do and I am a less active female. I think you'll find it difficult to sustain this diet without getting more calories. And I personally have found it better to get those calories from fruit. Also you might find it useful to use, cronometer, fitday or some other calorie/nutrient counter. Re: Concerned About Weight Loss...help needed
