Well its been quite a month, i've been on a modified 80/10/10, meaning just smaller amounts of fruit than required. Last week was my fourth month raw and one month 80/10/10, and a lot has happened. I will list for you everything that has changed for me since starting raw and 80/10/10.

1. blood sugar levels: from 350+, down to low 120's. This took 3 months to happen.

2. Weightloss: First month I lost between 15-20 pounds, then I hit the wall. Two months later, no change, the dreaded plateau. Then this month on 80/10/10, lost an additional 12 pounds. Looking and feeling great. Only 300 more pounds to go, LOL.

3. No more ear infections: I suffered from ear infections at least twice a month, hated it, so much pain. Four months free of infections.

4. No more sinus infections or allergy attacks: 10 months out of the year I suffered with sinus and allergies, absolute torture! 4 months now, and no allergy attacks at all! Yay!!!

5. Asthma: At least 4-5 attacks a month, had an inhaler at home and at office. 4 months with not a single attack.

6. Tons more energy: Used to not want to get out of bed, but much better now.

7. Attitude: I used to be very sour grapes, grumpy even. Now I got a compliment, for being so bubbly (who knew I could be bubbly).

Though Im still very large, this is just the power of raw and 80/10/10 at work. I have so much more weight to loose, and so much more healing to do, but I know that slowly but surely it will happen. Wishing all the newcomers patience and determination to stick with it, it works. Much luv to everyone.

Giving the diet a try to see if it could personally have an impact is the best way to determine what does or does not work on an individual basis. As in most cases, the outcome is much more favorable than what we expected.

Thats great streambeam.
I have been all fresh raw now since Aug 1, 2007 and I have experienced a major internal and external overhaul of my body and mind.
Stay the course.
