Five Steps Towards Successful Weight Loss
A little while back, someone asked me the following interesting question about releasing excess weight and I thought some of you might be interested in reading the answer here - enjoy ;)
Q: You released around 160lbs of excess weight with a raw lifestyle. Can you share with us the five steps you consider were the most important towards your successful weight loss?
A: Mmmm, great question ;) I would sum up the five most important steps in my own weight loss journey as the following:
i. Realisation - for me (as with many 'addicts') it took hitting rock bottom
in terms of my health and well-being, before I realised I couldn't go
on like I was. I used to eat countless thousands of calories a day -
mainly junk foods - and I was destroying myself. It took a diabetes scare at the age of 21 to help me realise I could benefit from chang ing my habits ;)
ii. Willingness to Change - once I had realised and acknowledged what I was doing, I became WILLING to make different choices, to get different results.
iii. Raw Foods - I was introduced to the concept of eating raw foods, straight from nature, just like all other animals do - and it TOTALLY resonated for me as truth - I decided to start the very next day.
iv. Persistance - once I was on the raw food path, I could easily feel it was the best thing for my healin g, yet many around me were not very supportive
of what I was doing. I persisted, despite their comments and jokes, as
I felt this was best for me. Once others around me began to see my weight loss and happiness, they let go and let me get on with my choices more easily ;)
v. Maintenance
- it took about two years for me to release the 160lbs/70kg of excess
weight and since then, my weight has been more or less the same, for
over six years now. MOST people on the other hand, who lose weight, re-gain it again. I feel that this is a HUGE advantage of bei ng
a raw foodist; this is the natural way for the body to be fed, so the
body takes care of itself optimally, with the best nutrition. It is not
challenging to maintain this level of health now and I feel very blessed :)
Can you identify yourself anywhere in this patterning?
All best wishes to all of your personal journeys... :)

Participants Wanted: Raw/Vegan Children Study
Our dear raw friends Susan and Philip Madeley from the Tree of Life center in Arizona are in the closing stages of completing their Masters programmes in Nutrition under Gabriel Cousens and they could use *YOUR* help :)
They are conducting a study into the health of raw/vegan children under the age of five, for their theses and so far they have 70 participants - they would LOVE 30 more participants...
One lovely intended outcome of this study is to provide a vegan recipe for nursing mothers and babies without access to breast milk - wow :) They have a simple survey that they are asking people to complete to help finalise this work - if you or anyone you know is a vegan parent, please hop on over to http://livingveganchildren.com and fill in the 5-10 minute survey to help support this research and important info on breast milk alternatives in challenging situations.
