to tofurkeyrice.. if you were at 100 lbs & 5ft 6 you were already underweight before you even started to diet.. a 5ft 6 inch female should weigh no less than 120 lbs..you need to find a way to get more protein into your diet to build muscle weight.. yogurt is a good way but that alone may not be enough.. go to a health foods store & ask someone there to recommend a protein powder for weight & muscle gain..seek the advice of a professional to help you put on weight in a healthy way
I’m ur same height and started the diet yesterday for mainly the same reason as you, but i also weigh more than u. How long have u been doing it? It’s natural to lose weight in the beginning b.c ur body gets rid of toxins and excess water weight.
Incorporate more fats into your diet like avocados or raw oils like coconut and olive oil.
You can’t out run them either.
its not whether the food you eat is raw or cooked its how much you eat.
because they have drunk the raw Kool aid solomon. The raw food religion is just like all the other religions you can’t reason with its followers.
I have done that and I didn’t gain weight.
All the things that the cooked foods make you become (high pressure, problems with sugar levels, depression, fatigue, etc.) disappear when you eat only uncooked food. You born again. I’m not at that point yet, but I already noticed that my cravings for food almost disappeared since I’ve been juicing my veggies.
If you can go 50% raw from the beginning, please go ahead. But I would rather recommend buying a juicer and make 2 cups of veggie/fruit vegetables, twice a day before your regular meal. At one point, you will notice the portion of your regular meal will decrease as you’re getting the vitamins and minerals that your body meal.
You are not getting enough fats.
Try eatting 4 avocado’s a day, you will gain weight.
are you eating sprouts, wheat grass & blue/green algae? and you should try to lift weights 3 times a week, plus other exercises…check out Hippocrates Health Institute…I have toned muscles and eat raw food I weigh 180lbs and I still want to lose more weight…You have to make sure your eating a PROPER raw food diet because raw food will automatically balance your weight either to gain more or lose more…read around, perhaps your not eating the right way… anyways hope that helps…
I do raw food mostly for my skin, I dont want to lose weight at all but my weight keep droping. I don’t know what to do
I started with 100 pounds, 5′6, now i’m below 100) I’m afraid. I eat nuts, greens, and fruit everyday. Why is that? I look like a skeleton now.
So what’s wrong with my comments? Morons who voted me down?
today you are sexy:)
Animals also have no medicine, die in droves and rape each other. Oh and ducks like to practice Necrophilia! Why don’t you stop using the naturalistic fallacy
Very good advice, Im starting the raw food lifestyle too. Your story has inspired many of us who want to be healthy again. Thank you
You would be eating a lot of steaks then cause the enjoyment of eating that never seems to last long enough.
curious why you even come to these sites, being so negative. you ought to seek out what you enjoy and direct your attention there…. no need for rudeness, nor negativity
Ohh boo hooo you have hurt my feelings.
I guess now all that is left is for me to fill the bath with water, swallow a shit load of pills and plug in a toaster ready to fall in the bath, while I cut my wrists, all at the same time. Is that original enough for you mate? You raw food people are creepy with your wholesomeness and smugness. Sorry, I don’t buy into your philosophy.
wow your so original.
Give me a nice fat steak and burn it. something has to kill you one day, so why not enjoy it while it lasts.
Because they are high on life!
Angela you look awsome after loosing that weight! its great insparation for us, thanks for sharing with us
