Juliano is why I AM RAW TODAY..yes..so I am grateful..

I thought he was so hot 5 years ago..but lately , well he looks a little over tanned and too thin

My friend worked for him and he didn't pay her for 3 months..but every restaurant has casualties like that , I heard alot of other raw food restaurants had times where they couldn't pay workers for weeks..so I guess its ok..

I once read about a study on monkeys who were given a choice: having a nice meal or seeing a photo of a dominant monkey. Apparently, the second option seemed to be the favorite, even if it meant staying hungry.

Brian and Maria Clement is around 75% Raw, that is true. I'm not sure, but Maria seems to have done some plastic surgery, I dunno..

We're good friends and I've seen her face. She feels good i her "energy" when you meet her tho.

Haven't everybody felt this feeling of people that have for a longer time or are eating live food? It's like they are good people, nice to be with.

What do you think?

Can anybody tell me why Matthew Kenney is not vegan anymore? Is he still raw? Thanks!

You can do some research online about Matthew Kenney. there are some articles about him that I found after meeting Sarma and chatting with her a bit.

I watched the rest of the Tyra video, showing the outcomes of the various diets.

Over all I think Alissa came out best for a variety of reasons:

1) Alissa was the nicest of the three and happiest, most relaxed, present and giving. She didn't look buff and fit, and didn't dress well, but her overall affect is much better. The health comes through via the happiness and genuine-ness of her wish to help others. That was a great contrast to the other 'experts' who came off as competitive and nasty. Very impressive.

2) The ladies tasting her food and saying how good it is. You see the surprise on their faces as they sample this raw weird food they are expecting not to like, and they like it.

3) The one lady who followed the raw diet lost 38 pounds and gave a great testimonial saying she never felt so good and it has changed her life.

I still think Alissa would benefit from spiffing up her wardrobe and hair if she's going to be on camera. She looks sloppy and puffy, on camera anyway. I'm sure there are image consultants who can help with just that sort of thing. Alissa's great at what she does and would have an even greater impact, on TV anyhow, if she cleaned up how she appears on camera.

Morrison-I can't find the info and I'm so curious....

just google him and look at his history and see what's happened to his life and what's going on now.. and just kinda read between the lines... it's ok though.. people come and go all the time

I found this. I'm speechless. Poor Sarma.

arugula..

yep

I agree that her wardrobe choices were unflattering, especially on the first episode, but Alissa is NOT fat, she's a body builder. Personally, I do not find this body type the most attractive, but calling her fat is absurd.

Scroll down to her after pictures and see where she's flexing her biceps in that sports bra. She's all muscle:

Many of the things she said were absurd, especially in context of her own body issues (calories don't count, you can eat whatever you want, etc.).

I won't elaborate on her appearance, I did not think it was good and I'll leave it at that.

I also felt she should have been more forthright in addressing the B12 issue.

Tim is gorgeous and healthy! He should be on TV, but he is making a documentary on raw food and running. Here is an interview with him - [gliving.tv]

I agree that there need to be more athletic personal trainers promoting and representing the lifestyle. But Alissa is on to something of marketing it as a weight loss program. A lot more people are motivated and interested in that then in the health aspects of a natural whole vegan diet.

I like the people on Alissa's forum but I don't like her forum policies. They without saying anything deleted a post of mine just because I said that I had a hard time keeping weight on on 100% raw and felt more comfortable on high raw. They censor and filter everything to make sure it is 100% positive and favorable towards Alissa and towards a 100% raw diet, even people's real experiences!

You won't find anything on her forum that questions about the fat content of the recipes or anyone not liking that high fat of a diet, cause they delete all of those kinds of posts. It's pretty rude actually and misrepresents the success!

That black girl on raw looks way better than Tyra (course that's not saying much).

I felt bad for the one who didn't lose the weight/stick with the diet.

I say _ Yay!!!

It's bad to not be "very thin"?

You talk like having a big butt is a bad thing???

Men like big butts. God bless those essential fatty asses... I mean acids. Three cheers for T&A!!!

Here's a neat interview with Alissa after the show:

[tinyurl.com]

I apologize for calling Alissa "BIG"

you know I am not in this to hurt other people. For all I know she could have read this thread and have been hurt.

We all have photos where we look like demons, even raw and beautiful..we all have days, and struggles..all of us.

I was critical, well, I am dealing with a big breakup and well, I am critical of myself and hold my self to high standards..and I get into mean moods..morose and judging..

I am sorry..

Coconut,
That's nice of you to apologize.
I really hope Alissa did not read this thread because it could of been very hurtful.
I think she is a great person!

Coconutcream, I'm sorry you are having a tough time of it right now.

Sending healing thoughts your way, and prayers if you want them.


Blessings,

Deborah

Sorry, but enough of you.

I am very pleased with whom I am, what I do, the way I live and love. I have a very blessed and blissed life, one of so much happiness I can barely contain myself sometimes. Thus, my ability many times to read your ABUSE and simply let it slide.

You Arugula are much too diffcult to have to read or therefore, interact with.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR. I SAID WHAT I DID BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO KNOCK YOU OFF OF YOUR PERPETUAL KALI PEDESTAL.

Enough Arugula, truly enough. Unfortuantely, you seem to believe since you contribute you have the right to CRITICIZE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. Why can you not simply contribute and if you really do KNOW of something that could be harmful to someone, then please contribute. But to time and again speculate about SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT is an abuse of power. None of us deserve it.

I do hope you can stop the "pointing blame" game long enough to SEE AND KNOW YOUR WORLD IS PRECISELY WHAT YOU CREATE. My reaction to you was exactly as it was supposed to be; KALI IN RESPONSE TO YOUR CONSTANT KALI. I do hope you will be able as you move forward to manifest many more of her more positive attributes.

Just returned from a five day Shaman and Sacred Sexualilty Conference here in Santa Fe. I can safely say with more than 300 people present, I MET NOT ONE ANYWHERE NEAR YOU AS YOU PRESENT YOURSELF on this board too often.

Try some real, juicy, deep, heart-fire.

Blissed be, Annie

Anne,

Maybe my 'take offense' meter is set too low, but couldn't find anything defamatory or offensive in Argula's posts. S/he's forthright and direct, but I find that refreshing not offensive. Are you sure you haven't confused her posts with someone else's?

And I have to say, this tickled me:

I reminds me of a conversation I overheard a few years ago. A woman on a retreat was talking on the phone to her fiance and was overheard saying this, angrily, into the phone: "I've just had a deep spiritual awakening of universal love, so you better not f&** with me!"

Same here.

*shrug*

Judy

coconut,

would you mind if I emailed you about some stuff? I've read your blog and have read what you've written here... it has meant something to me honestly and I'm not completely sure what it is. Yet I feel it's extremely important to respect your privacy and your situation. In other words I don't feel like it's acceptable to just randomly email you or contact you like I did regarding the calendar.

Thanks,
Matt

Arugula:

Personally, I like finding your posts on this board. You are always so well informed and you never put anything out there that you haven't put a lot of thought into. You get to the point, and don't hesitate to correct anyone if you think they are wrong, in a very direct but not in an offensive way. Sometimes there is more information than I can process, but I would far rather leave a little bit unread than have less than the complete information and not have the choice.

Thank you very much for all that you contribute, and I hope you continue!

I can't understand the negativity here.

Sapphire

Wow, I guess there are a lot of people here who take offense at application of the scientific method.

that was not a blissful and blessed response to arugula... that was harsh and judgemental... kind of like a really fat person ordering a large pizza and diet soda to lose weight... anyway.. I hope you feel better after getting that off your chest, sincerely. However next time will you please try to be considerably nicer?

thanks,
Matt

Did anyone who watched the Tyra Banks show notice that Tyra got on the scale and behaved like she was going to give her weight to the audience and then didn't? Why should a beautiful waman feel ashamed to tell her weight?

Fat is an obsession in this culture. Ridiculous.
