Curious to hear what everyone's fave physical change was after eating raw? What did you notice first? Just looking for some lovely inspiration to muse on smiling smiley

The first thing I noticed was my energy level went through the roof after a few years of chronic fatigue.

It would be hard to say what my favorite physical change is because there are so many and they have all made life better, but I think it might be my sense of smell returning after nine years of nothing. It is incredible!! I can actually feel my olfactory glands coming back to life. It is an indescribable sensation!!! I want to eat food full of flavors now. It is really wonderful.

I started tightening up my belt one notch at a time. There are 8 notches in my belt and I stared on the next to the last (biggest) and now I'm using the next to the last (smallest) since I went all fresh raw. I thought I was going to grow out of the belt but now I think I may shrink out of it. YeeHaa

From a Spiritual point-of-view, that would
imply that you sometimes tell False Stories. I won't
allow Smoke Detectors in my house because it implies
that there might be smoke....nor Health Insurance, Car
Insurance, etc., etc.
My favorite physical change is Clear Eyes, and just a
better overall Countenance.....WY

Ha! ha! Yes WY.

-No...all my stories are true...but my assumption is this one might be harder to believe....(or perhaps not!).

A whole new self--inside and out! :-D

The first change I think I recall is that my feet weren't puffy anymore.

Lots of love to all of you,

I got a new freckle. It's not my favorite change (I welcome them all), but it's definitely the most strange. I've never gotten new freckles before. I always had a beauty mark on the left side of my face... now I have one on the right! Guess it means I'm twice as beautiful now. ^.~

thank you everyone- I love these and am going to print them out and review them if I feel detoxy - these are wonderful.

Love the extra freckle, Phantom - maybe an angel was wiping some mango off your face, and she left a little imprint.....

My face shape actually changed to a more attractive it is amazing, got rid of acne, dandruff, eyes became clear blue, lots of energy, mental clarity, more endurance. feel good overall!
And there were times when I went through detox, I looked really really bad and unhealthy. But it is all good now

I get bigger breasts, grew 1/4 inch, and my feet got smaller. Haha smiling smiley

My eyes are in the process of turning blue from brown. The most painful physical change was releasing growths that I didn't know I had.

I started at 126 lbs when I went raw. A year later I am 107 lbs, but I don't look skinny or anything. I am just 5'1" so I think this is just right weight for me. Feel so much better and I get lots of compliments from friends after I lost the weight.

Take care

I have an amazing mental clarity now and I can meditate for a long time.
I feel much more in peace with myself and I started to love all the little cretures,even spiders that I used to hate before I love them now.
(PS- I still don't know about the brazilian spiders that are huge,humangos,and I was always afraid of them,but I love the small US spiders now)

I always think this when I see before-raw after-raw photos!

It's not just about losing weight as some people are slim before they start raw and yet their faces/bone structure still look a lot different!

WOW gold rush, I am a bit smaller than that first pic of yours in a bikini..

HOw did you lose those hips? Looks like a total different person in the last pic!

How long did it take you to get to your final pic?
what % of raw are you?
How many calories a day did you eat?
I can see you did lots of weight lifting as well!!

You look great!

At first I paid little attention to calories. (from first to third pic). Then I really upped the weights and running.
picture 1 to picture 4 is one year's time.
I'm 90-100% raw...I fluctuate based on my social life
yeah though, weights are important.
I don't eat much gourmet--maybe once a month or so. I stick to whole fresh foods (a la DZM). fruit-my-brains-out, water-ful greens...lettuce, cukes, etc., avocados, hemp and pumpkin seeds.
I have no appliances,..not even a blender, That helps I think...the most I can macerate my food is with a knife--oh yes, then my teeth.
I also moved to NY and ditched the car.
