A. Hi there, the only way to lose weight on any diet or lifestyle plan is to eat less than you burn; that is, to eat fewer calories than you burn on a daily basis. On the raw food diet, however, it's less likely that you're over eating calories than you need to exercise more. Are you exercising? It's important that everyone incorporate both cardiovascular and weight training exercise into their weekly routines. I would recommend exercising to start and then look into your diet. Begin to measure your daily serving of nuts and fruit and track the calories. If you're stuck, and need more help, why not connect with other raw foodists and experts. A good resource to check out is www.rawpeople.com. Best of luck

A. A raw vegan diet is beneficial in so many ways. It has a possible affect on a persons general health and well-being. Read as much as you can and ask questions [as you are already doing], then do what feels right for you. Smoking is not cool and an unhealthy habit. Take your physiologist dietary advise with a grain of salt. I not sure how to answer the eating disorder, is it is in fact an eating disorder. Sounds like you aren't enjoying the sports your parents have chosen for you? Is there a sport or two you would prefer to participate in? Why not try talking with them about changing sports activities to something you prefer. A raw diet will fuel you with abundant energy. Here is a link to Brendon Brazier's site. He is a… [cont.]

Sick of being ridiculed for wanting to optimize my health and physical appearance!?
Q. As a New Years Resolution, I decided that it was time to start executing common sense and discipline in my pursuit of personal excellence. Around this time I started researching the live/raw fruits and veggies diet and after successly practicing veganism for a few months, decided to upgrade myself. The results were undeniable: My battle with acne since I was 14yrs old was won after only 2 weeks of raw veggies (darn near flawless skin!); my energy levels and feelings of contentment and peace were through the roof; I was more relaxed, light hearted...floating almost..my insides felt extremely CLEAN ..and I lost 10lbs! Now that I have been enlightened, I know the path to optimum health and try to avoid deviating. Enter friends, colleagues… [cont.]
