[ravendream33]

Ha! I read all these comments that put down eating an all raw food diet, and I cannot understand how anyone can actually think that humans should KILL the life in their food in order to make the food more nutritious!!! Explain how cooking something could make one less likely to starve? She is not even thin!!!!!! Depression in her is more connected to the NOT accomplishing her financial goals! She is handling it all without drugs! Wake up people! Even Jesus was sad at times and wept.

[eternalbohemia]

sweet music :) i like this song yea beyonce is in the illuminati, me too :)

lookin at herself, wow... great way to think about this song! What powerful heart vibes u are emanating here, yum :)

[vitalityv]

It is a well known fact that when you eat foods that bring health and vitality, the 'side effect' tends to be a detox of emotions as well as toxins. This is why it is so important to get help and support when changing your lifestyle. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[leevictoria4]

sorry, meant videos! It's all the crappy food wearing off after the raw foods cross over!!!

[leevictoria4]

Your gorgous! So funny and sweet, absolutely love your pod casts!

[supermaniabros]

i would like nothing more than for Therese to post a video proving me wrong, but i fear she will be in hospital if she keeps this lifestyle up. do your subscribers a favour and tell them the honest truth, before you lead other's down this path of self destruction...

[Spinfuze]

Plenty of people have posted videos proving you wrong

[supermaniabros]

yeah she's thriving...

[supermaniabros]

if my raw experience is anything to go by she is cycling between depression and euphoria. probably a week or so of depression followed by 1 maybe 2 days of euphoria. sadly the euphoria gives raw -fooders hope, convincing them they are on the right track, when really it is there body struggling with the stress of starvation. at this point they often stop eating altogether (fasting) or they start binging which fuels depression and anxiety as the body attempts to process food again.

[Spinfuze]

No, your raw experience is not anything to go by if you starved yourself.

[mjisanindian]

i must say it's interesting that the healthiest and longest living humans in recorded history are our grandparents generation (the diggers), some living to 110 years old. they are considered to be the last generation to break 100 years, it's predicted to slide backwards now. they were very much a meat and 3 veg diet, but they also lived much more physical lifestyles and slept and woke more sensible hours. interestingly completely raw paleolithic humans only lived 30 years or so, like primates.

[coffeefreakzzz]

Puuuleeease do an update! LOL! :) wondering whats going on these days! hope u are doing well, if not,then let us all know so we can give u some big time encouragement! :) U rock & your in my prayers! :) Godbless!!

[natedizzle83]

please show us some love therese! :D

[vinodea]

You have inspired me to go raw! I have been raw for 2 days now, and loving the experience. Thank you so much for your videos, they give me a boost of freedom and joy.

[SVWillmer]

Ive just found your profile and have to say, looking from your start to the end, you've increased in colour and health, and its an inspiration for me to keep going raw, first things first Im getting organic next time i go shopping, i feel ten times better on sprayed shit fruit & veg from trash imagine the next step :D

[blackmiroir]

oh and I must add that I LOVE the song "Right Round" ANNND my friend Kesha is in it. So, it just makes it that much more exciting!

[blackmiroir]

I've only watched a few of your videos and already I can tell that you are a *truly* beautiful person.

Oh and p.s. ...YOU ARE *HOT*

Take care <3

[ARAKARABLUE]

When I want to see smart and hot incarnate,

I stop by this channel. I dig her!

She is so FREE!

[supermaniabros]

i gotta be honest therese, i have tried this lifestyle for over a year now and i've started to develop deep depression, especially leading into winter. I think the philosophy of raw is so lovely but i truly think it should be geographically/seasonally founded. a simple example would be imagine an Eskimo eating a piece of watermelon, how inappropriate right??? i really think that everything on this earth is interconnected, and to be in perfect harmony the ultimate rawfood diet would be seasonal.

[supermaniabros]

sometimes i regret this whole venture. i mean sure before i was "unhealthy", well not really even, i was probably average weight just a little unfit, but at least i was happy! i was able to enjoy food, dining, parties, social life, the company of friends and family at meals. since going raw i have lost all of that and become a recluse, to be honest i don't even enjoy food at all anymore and think about it all the time. i would trade anything to go back to being 'normal'.

[supermaniabros]

even if it was 'unnatural', at least i was happy then. now i find my digestion is destroyed, i have trouble digesting anything complex and often have to mono-diet just to avoid total and utter discomfort. it's certainly a train one must be weary of getting on. the other thing i notice about life is if you look at all vegetarian species of animals all they do all day is eat, just graze and feed all day in order to get the calories they need to survive.

[supermaniabros]

human lifestyles simply are not conducive to this style of eating behaviour. the animals that go the longest between meals are carnivores, but they also need to rest the most to digest. i think humans excel because we take a healthy mix of all food groups in appropriate seasons, giving us the perfect mix of stamina and good health. anyway, sorry to rant, i just get the feeling you are struggling too and want you to know if you are starting to question this diet (or your sanity) you're not alone

[WorkOnWellness]

You are fantastic I love your videos. You look so healthy and vibrant it inspires me!

[veganpea]

beautiful video! the first one ive seen of you therese!! that beyonce song is gonna make me cry! and i'll think of u ever time i hear it. i looove that empire of the song, hearing music by the sleepy jackson (my cousin used to be in that band!) makes me want to cry,, soo emotional, beautiful, inspiring and amazing!

[abundantgarden]

You R AWESOME nice to see you UP here

You sure have been doin' alot of inner work.  Youre inspiring the WORLD Thankyou 4 being YOU

[charchar244]

[Tynx]

[Epic878787]

Re Sneaky...

Yup, wage psychological warfare against your own psyche because it's doing the same to you, lol.

[izacrazybitch4real]

the lovely miss jordin sparks if i'm not mistaken? i love her. also somethin about your energy is just deliciously addictive. its like we can see a literal halo on your head or somethin. the glow, the vibe & your style is much appreciated.

[RawDownUnder]

Thank you everyone for your being... you love.... and your light :)

[rawebutterflye]

Im so glad your back!! Thank you, lots of love and light to you!

[Gary1111001]

Hey everybody. On April 1, I did my 41st birthday Disneyland trip. Disney's motto this

year is "Celebrate You".

I ate a raw produce diet to endure 13 hours of walking and standing. It worked : )

Therese, It's said that you learn more from failing. And with 3 goals at once, you must have learned a lot. LoL,

Here's a song I promised for the end of the challenge. Not the one I planned - it's more fitting to the outcome - youtube search: "Mission Rush".  1st video.

[RawDownUnder]

Wow, I love it! Thank you. It gave me goose bumps :)

[Gary1111001]

That's good to hear - that I'm having a positive effect on someone by sharing something that's special to me.

Some of the best music is unknown to the masses. I like that song more than ever....after 21 years!

[Grenbarme]

Oh dear, I want to thank you. Have been listening to Halo the last days very often because I just fell in love with a guy very deeply. But I' also constantly falling in love with myself these days...tomorrow it's 8 weeks in the raw and I LOVE it! You are great!

[laraskye]

Wish I could dance with you. You seem like you would be a fun dancer. This is only the beginning. Much love your way!

[kimono9876]

Hi Therese! Congratulations with everything u've discovered throughout your experiments! I love your music!

Its my 3rd week going 100% raw, and you have no idea how much ur videos have helped me and made it FUN for me to continue with this life-style. I've never felt so great about myself until i went raw.

You're no doubt RAW, HOT and RICH! I'm sure many of us will miss ur experiment videos. They all have so much value.

Take care and thanks again for all ur amazing inspiration!

[Rawgini]

hi sweetie,

have you ever heard of the concept of marrying oneself?

i think SARK (susan ariel rainbow kennedy) writes about it in one of her books.

i hope you are having a beautiful day!

ONLYLOVE,

tash

XOXOX

[wishiremembered]

Hey,i think you're awesome,you've really inspired me with your thoughts,mind, philosophies and spirit. Sorry if i'm coming on a little strong for one of my first comments but you just seem great. I wish you the absolute best of luck on the rest of your journey,you deserve it. Take care and god bless.

[Luciek69]

Beautiful song ...

[sunnywaterfalls]

P.S. Don't be so hard on yourself. Every experience is just an opportunity for growth.You set some pretty big goals, and it's ok if they didn't all come to pass exactly how and when you wanted it. Just dust yourself off, regroup, be grateful for what you do have, rethink what it is you truly want, try another approach and keep going. I think you're doing awesome! And you're an inspiration to many.Please keep sharing your journey.

[Luciek69]

What are YOU contributing ?

 ;-)

[1966cristy]

But that's why we love her! ? Because she get on and gives us what she is in that moment. Therese leans on music. Raw, honest, there is an unwritten book here somewhere. My favorite all time is Raw Hot and Rich Rock n Roll. Goofy, she was so goofy! Seriously write a book, Therese. Conversational, honest, stream of conscience, experiencial. In the style of "French Women Don't Get Fat". Beautifully written book. Make it conversational but about Raw. Have fun, be yourself. You'd get Rich. LOL.

[questiontime1976]

yes there's definitely an unwritten book here, she can describe the initial highs she felt (first stages of starvation), then i dire reality when malnutrition and depression kicks in. it would make a great warning to others. way to develop an eating disorder...

[mjisanindian]

my friend went hardcore raw, she was manic, swearing by david wolf etc that she would reverse the aging process. after 12 months her hair was falling out and she was heaps depressed and recluse. people wonder why there are only positive reviews on raw, it's because the other people who attempt it develop social, emotional and anxiety disorders, they're hardly going to jump on youtube and start posting vids. i don't think raw is wrong, but are the side effects worth it? i hope therese is ok.

[supermaniabros]

OMG so did my girlfriend. she took blood tests to 'prove' it and everything! the naturopath told her 'thin blood' was a good thing, WTF??? blood should be packed with red and white blood cells, it's what nourishes, restores and protects the body, the only people with thin blood are the very sick and elderly, anorexics, AIDS patients etc. She went crazy, moody, depressed, OBSESSED about food, she wanted to run away to a raw commune. she ended up in hospital on a feeding tube. be careful people.

[supermaniabros]

then she convinced me to start. 2nd worst thing i ever did.

[zazezalo]

okay im sorry but i couldnt resist replying. You say that eating high-quality, organic FRUITS and VEGETABLES all day cause "malnutrition"??? I mean theres the thing about not eating enough calories, i get it, but look at her.. Does she look like shes "starving" and "depressed"?

[supermaniabros]

maybe you should ask her yourself...

[questiontime1976]

sorry but the guy has a point. if we could survive on nutrition alone we could all live on multivitamins and water... calories make ALL the difference. why do you think they take chocolate when climbing Everest? imagine they took carrots instead... if you are not getting enough calories vitamins are rendered useless, your body enters starvation mode and burns fat and protein stores instead. starvation is incredibly stressful on the body. all repair and growth is shut down.

[questiontime1976]

nutrition is only utilized when the calories are sufficient to fuel repair and growth. it's all about balance, we need consistent good quality, high energy meals in the right proportions (fats/carbs/protein). imagine being lost in the wild, one person has unlimited multivitamins, the other has unlimited greazy macdonalds burger, who do you think will last the longest. calories fuel our very existence, it's all about choosing the right foods to supply a healthy supply of calories and nutrition.

[questiontime1976]

besides if you want to really 'go natural' why stop at raw food? why not give up your car? or stop watching tv or youtube? or when winter comes struggle to survive like every other animal, on the cold hard ground, desperate for a morsel of food to make it through the season.

[questiontime1976]

sometimes i wonder what sort of fantasy world raw-fooders live in, they take for granted their choice of whatever fruits and vegetable they desire... in the true wild they would be lucky to find an orange tree next to an apple tree, half the fruit rotten, the other half under developed and small, covered in blemishes, filled with insects lavae and worms. oh and how fortunate there's a goji berry bush growing under it, or kale or pineapple... the other 9 months of the year the trees are bare...

[questiontime1976]

and if you did find such a wonderous fantasy plantation then you would strip the trees bare within hours like monkeys just to get enough calories to continue looking for more food...

[questiontime1976]

i respect this woman's desire for good health, but there's good health and there's obsessive health... google the term 'orthorexia nervosa'.

[natedizzle83]

you're a jerk. c'mon Therese, post a video saying you feel better than ever in your whole life, prove this asshole wrong!

[1966cristy]

A specific feeling comes to me when I'm about to do myself in, about to disallow love, money, comfort. I flip it, agressively, allow anger to swell. I was never allowed to be angry growing up. I have an endless supply. I direct the strength of my anger to what I want to have happen, not negativity. Use any emotion. Direct that energy to positive things. Emotions are only poison if you don't spend them and they're allowed to eat at you. Fear, anger, joy, love. It's all energy. What do you want?
