Date: February 13, 2007 05:56PM I am very new to raw food eating but have been about 98% raw for about a month now and loving it! My only problem is that I seem to be losing too much weight. I love eating raw but don't know what to do. I keep a steady supply of nuts and seeds in my diet(the 2% unraw is the natural peanutbutter I eat). Somebody have advice for a newby?

Date: February 14, 2007 07:57AM I lost "too much" in the beginning. I just kept eating what felt right (mostly juicy fruits) and gained about ten pounds. Now my weight has stabilized. Re: Losing too much weight.

That's true. I find weight lifting helps tremendously. Do 2 or 3 body parts each day and press them to failure. I mean really take them to failure. That's what I do. This I find helps me to build more quickly than an all body workout where the individual muscles do not get as much pressure. Rest 1 day after completing the whole body then start again. Eat low fat,lots of fruits and veggies. Try to not go hungry. Eat often,just enough to be satisfied. Do not overeat. It's not going to help. Also, don't lose sight of the fact that when you first go raw your body goes into cleansing mode and building muscles is not an immediate priority for it. Be patient. Good luck.
