i have been a vegetarian for over two years, and a vegan for over six months. for about a week i have been eating 75% raw. i was just wondering how much weight i will lose. i have struggled with eating disorders for a while, and i'm trying to get out of that phase.

I dont think anyone can really answer that for you dear. Can I make small suggestion? Try to focus on how good you feel from eating raw and NOT so much on the weight loss effects. Perhaps they would be better perceived as nice side effects, you know? I think the mental perspective has a lot to do with eating 'disorders', I dunno I am no doctor nor have I ever been diagnosed as such BUT... I have ALWAYS been about 10lbs over weight at least, since forever and I am excited about the prospect of losing that darn 10 lbs. and being my natural size and shape. So I am working out and practicing yoga and pilates, and transitioning gently to a raw diet. Seems like that should work for you too!

If you have been a vegan for 6 months, that should have helped you lose some weight. Did you? Lisa is right that it is better to focus on the health facet. I just started raw about a month ago, after 17 years as a lacto vegetarian. I am having a hard time letting go of cheese and bread. I need to lose 40 lbs. But I hope that will happen as I get healthier.
