I would guess that during the first 3 months you will lose weight, and then it should stop. And you should start gaining the lost weight back..
I actually read that from a book.
But my own experience:
I lost too much weight during the first 3 months (about 10% of my weight), And then I tried to eat more seeds, avocados and sprouts. Even if I wasnt hungry, And losing weight slowed down. (

Before insulin was invented I believe diabetes was treated with healthy diet..
If I remember correctly the results were "semi-good" the patients lived longer, but didn't ever get cured completely. ie. production of own insulin didn't start again..

"I know they are illegal in US."
I dont know about US laws, but why would they be illegal?
There are 2 kinds of hemp.
One that can be made to a drug,
And the variety which we use, which cant be used to make drugs,
I assume you all are talking about the 2nd variety.. right?

A friend of mine healed colitis ulcerosa with diet.. So I believe it can be done.
But she used the western medicine first to get the disease to an easy stage, and then changed the diet, and tries to stress less.. And then left the medicines. (It was a permanent medicine, because the disease isn't "healable"

Hi,
That was the exact reason why I quit my 100% rawfood diet. (losing too much weight)
By the way..
Do you soak the sunflower seeds and almonds before eating? 5-8 hours of soaking makes them more nutritious, more easily digestible and better tasting too.
for example soaking sunflower seeds gets the XX vitamin to increase by 300%. The seed starts to prepare for growing and change sta

"5 papaya
7 banana"
That is a lot! How can you eat so many bananas and papayas in ONE day??
When I was 100% raw I used to eat about 1-2 bananas/day (one of them was blended as an ingredient in sesame-seed milk)
And where are the (soaked) sunflowed seeds, almonds, etc.. in your diet?
Your diet sounds quite monotonic..

I read somewhere that when you buy an orange here in Finland.. You can't even be sure what YEAR it was harvested!
It is sad. But I hear most fruits are harvested when they are still raw and then they are kept cool while transporting/storing.
And just prior they are brought to store for selling they are artificially ripened with a gas that makes fruits ripen fastly.
Just wondering how muc

"1/8 tsp salt + 1/8 tsp baking soda.
swear by it."
WHAT!! Are you serious? baking soda???
I have only ever heard that people use salt mixed with water(preferably natural sea salt with no additives). Never heard anyone would add baking soda. Why? And what would baking soda do?
And no. I wont try baking soda.

"What am I doing wrong? I have a sprouter (3 round stackable plastic containers with a lid where the water runs through, so it doesn't stay on the seed all the time) and no matter what I try to sprout molds. I thought"
Forgot to mention that my friend bought one of these. And the simple glass-jar works better. The stacked sprouters have several problems.

What..??
There are 3 main reasons for mold in your sprouts.
1.) not enough rinsing with water
2.) sprouts dont "dry" enough between rinses
3.) Heated seeds, which are pre-killed, ie. they mold and wont sprout
1.How often do you rinse them with water? I usually do 2 rinsing with lots of water. once in the morning and once in the evening. Just use plenty of water, as it will keep

no gas and poo doesnt smell
Actually you will notice the difference when you eat cooced meat of fish again.. huh... fish poo smells unbeliavable bad.
Oh.. and one more difference when eating raw you will need to poo every day.. (as it should work)
With SAD I could go on for 2-3 days without any poo..

cant remember brands.. And I have tried dried varieties only.
But there are BIG differeces. Some are so bad thet they are difficult to eat and some are actually good.
The cheapest can be bought from those chinese/thai food shops that are everywhere.
But it is a good idea to eat seaweed, because it is a good source of iodine.
A friend of mine, who is on raw food diet got sick, because

no similar experiences here..
Yep. I got more energy, but it also seemed that my sexual drive went down a bit and I lost some weight (which is not good), and that is why I don't eat 100% raw any longer.
I have read that losing weight will stop if you continue the diet longer.. so maybe I will try 100% raw again sometime. I was 100% raw for about 5 months. and lost 10% of my weight.

my wife healed her (unhealable) digestive illness with raw food (she tried also homeopathy at the same time)
First she used normal western medicine to get the illness to "calm" down (again) eg. the bleeding to stop. And then she started the raw food diet, and left the medicenes out little by little. Untill she hasn't used any medicine for over a year now.
She had already used the

WOW..
Interesting to see how different "ideal" raw breakfasts there are..
Mine is a bit different:
Seesame seed milk (about 2dl soaked sesame seed, 1 liter of water and a banana blended together)
about 1dl soaked (whole) oat, and sometimes soaked (whole) wheat
I put the oat to a plate, add some sesame milk, and a sliced apple, and some frozen blackberries. The rest of the m
