30 day, 100% RAW FOOD challenge



Recommended Posts

So this won't happen with everybody but it happened with us. Two months of green smoothies, 1lb of raw veg daily, 1lb of cooked veg, 2-3 fruits, handful of nuts, 1c of beams. (Fuhrman diet?) don't even remember. No cheating.

LOTS of food prep! All natural. Most raw. LOTS and LOTS of food prep, Couldn't eat out. Felt great. Had more energy. Went it to say nani-nani boo boo to doc who swore the only way to get healthy was to eat meat. Just to show her a diff way to get healthy.

Net result for both my husband and me? TWENTY point increase in blood sugar.

So yeah, be careful. If you are insulin resistant or carb sensitive, or prone to diabetes, not do much with the healthy sounding smoothies.< /p>

I am hearing most soy (tofu) is processed from GMO soy Beans which is causing many serious health problems in people. I advise to stay away from anything processed and in a package :-)

I only shop in the produce section in the grocery store. Very easy and cheap and very healthy.

It's easy to find non-GMO tofu--you can get it at pretty much any grocery store. Asian markets also sell homemade tofu or you can make it yourself.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
