i love your videos yay!

[leftwingnazi]

It's because you're probably eating lower carbs on your new diet, hence you've lost a lot of water weight. I lost 30 pounds in 30 days on the zone type diet which involved cutting carbs while eating a lot of veggies and fruits.

[pompei1968]

this is such a waste..i'm out of here

[oldschoolhunter]

aw thin and feeling alive, only the fat that loose can ever enjoy the feeling of getting dates and attention, aw it's so sweet.

[docsharp00]

I looked your firsts videos and some at the end, and I want you to say congrats! you did it and you looks so cute !

[cmoursler3]

Have you thought of doing a body fat composition test? What your thinking is fat could be muscle. You don't look like your gaining. You look thinner in fac.t Do a body fat test.

[sleep209]

eh put those boxes in the closet jason!! damn it! lol or in the garage if u hav 1. ps try throwing the maryjane into your diet. its terrific. I got some good recipes for it oh god ... food that makes you feel good and lose weight you guys should try it.

[AnthonyNews]

young people just remeber one thing.. the closer to your weight your body starts to slow down..thats normal..when you was bigger your body burns faster..when you smaller your body burns slower..so just maintain and you be great******

[Animedith]

hey~!! this video.. LoL!!! I just wanted to know... how many cals u take daily??? Thanx!!!

[LauraLee17]

I know you were frustrated but can I say, you are adorable when you get flustered!

I'm not a huge fan of raw eating (I guess like you a year ago) but I'm reading the Eat-Clean diet and trying to implement it as much as possible into my diet.

[leikana]

I read The Raw Food Detox Diet over vacation (in one sitting!) and I love it. I'm starting at level 4, but everything tastes so good! Especially those Oh So Simple Romaine Wraps. Gah.

<3

[antishay]

[linznchrisloseweight]

in disney i actually lost 3 pounds.. being always on the go and walking everywhere helped.. and i always ate in the parks and to me the food sucked haha

[katze007]

[inlove0395]

I went to Disneyland on the 29th and I wished to see you there.

[nananaAri]

[eluvg1975]

[TravMcTavish]

I love this video it cracked me up. I'm sure it's fun there. :)

[EastTNChick]

Oh ROTFL that had to be the funniest video I've watched of yours.  5:18

[jenzim03]

i looooove that book! i bought it yesterday and read through the whole thing. thank you so much for spreading the word about this book. i've wanted to go raw for half a year now, but have never known how to start. this book totally helped! thank you so much again for introducing myself and everyone else to this informative gold mine!

[xtwiggyx3]

Hii =]

I love watching your videos, and I think you give great advice. I'm doing the Master Cleanse and after i want to have a raw good diet. So these videos are helping alot!

Thanks :)

[harshil69]

ur very pretty mam!

[BissNikk]

Fun video :)

Do you only eat organic foods?

What about frozen fruits and veg in smoothies?

I live in the Great White North otherwise known as Canada, in Newfoundland, and I'd love to try this, but fresh f&v are SO HARD to find here after September the only locally grown produce is potatoes and squash LOL

[uriel760]

hope you can have a video of ur body soon to see how well you have done. PLEASE PLEASE!!!

[vampgirl71]

Hi Shanti just wanted to let you know I had a fun time with you and the gang at the beach. Hope to do it again, and Jason your still adorable.

Hugs :)

[tbossbone]

don't forget to ask amber for the camera!

[curvymary]

I love this Q&A. Thank you Shanti for sharing your knowledge with us. You are amazing.

[hvyweight20]

Check out ani phyo here on youtube...

She has written several raw cookbooks and even does tutorials here...

I know you would gain a lot from watching her...

Take Care!

[LadyTomiko]

Thanks for posting up these videos! You really are an inspiration ^-^

[fastinggurl31]

As a raw foodist I can tell you there are ways to save eating Raw. Buy Organic Spinach, Carrots & Organic Frozen fruits in bulk for less @Costco. Regular grocery stores usually have some organic produce on sale & of-course once you find out about certain farms @ farmers markets you will be able to to save money. Liquids are the least of your worries Like Natalia says! Good for you for continuing on your Detox! Welcome to the world of RAW FOODS!! Raw foods is THE most natural way to eat.

[reforest4fertility]

@fastinggurl31 Wow, instead of being flagged as spam yours is a highly rated comment. Hmmmm, even I kinda agree, also understanding where you're coming from.

[fastinggurl31]

@reforest4fertility Why would my comment be flagged as spam? 

[chubbi44]

very informative...

[Kalaniak]

Hilllaaarious.

[5cfan]

I also read the Raw Detox Diet on your recommendation, and I have been 80-100% raw depending on the day for about 5 days. I felt really tired for the first 3 days, but I've been feeling so much better, and lighter overall. Thanks so much for this video!

[Jazmine375]

LOL at Greg crawling..boys are so annoying. next time make them stand out in the hall if they can't behave..hehehe. Lots of great info for peeps here girlie..I watch a lot of raw peeps vids .rawfoodworld, kevin Gianni, bunny berry..theres tons if people are looking for good info. Best thing about raw is it cuts waay down on the amt of time U spend standing in front of a stove..or doing dishes..it's very "grab and go" Love it!! LOL I dont think I'll ever be more than 70% or so..but who knows :O)

[ziKaMina72]

what's the difference between vegetarian and vegan???? someone please tell me! Does vegan mean you don't eat meats and you can still eat fish? Someone please please tell me cuz I thought they were the same thing!!!

[finneyfaery]

vegans don't eat anything that comes from animals.. a lot of them don't wear clothes made from animals either. they'll wear organic materials n such. there's more into it i am sure, but that is what i know.

[ziKaMina72]

I thought that was a vegetarian... well if that's a vegan then whats a vegetarian?

[finneyfaery]

vegetarian's eat cheese and eggs for the most part.. dairy and things of that nature. vegans won't eat ANYTHING coming from animals.. eggs come from chickens, cheese and milk from cows etc. :0)

[ronmarcoo]

ziKaMina72

Have you heard of Google?

[lilhbal]

so funny:D

I´m loving this raw thing!

[SadiyaDurrani]

i had a dream that i opened my fridge and it was PACKED with fruits and veggies. and i was like whoa okay im gonna do the raw food diet. lol. i took a plum. now i really want a plum.

btw. the boys werent thaaat annoying but one clip where u yelled and it edited to the next clip it looked like u killed greg and he was dead on the bed. lol.

ps. "keep getting healthier" is a good catch phrase.

[macomarell]

I was up quit a few pounds for a long weekend, it is all gone and then some in less than a week. You will do it to so I understand why you just don't care. There is no way you could eat enough to gain that much weight in one day.

When I was doing the green juice from the book I gained because there are so darn many calories in the drink. I now just eat raw and leave the green juice for later, much later.

[Bonnie90505]

are your clothes fitting looser?? inches lost are so great too...hang in there, maybe it just going to come off all at once when you least expect it.

[schlabobble]

I subscribed a long time ago to this channel but stopped watching. I really like your show. I am not vegan or vegetarian but my fiance was vegetarian for 3 years and just started eating fish because the dr's told her to. But b4 her I didn't understand that sort of lifestyle. Now I understand and I give you so much in respect cause it gets expensive! Cant wait to see more videos. If you have a chance check on my Weight Watcher video. I'm down 58 lbs

[theatreloveremily]

woo! go vegetarians and vegans!

[leraloses]

i got the book and am excited to see how this works. :)

[meab3]

lol... look at greg at the back laying on that bed.. hahahahaa...

[JesusLovesYou0319]

It's ok because I've struggled from 160-159lbs. But don't worry I think you look sooo good!! HECK yeah it's about the way you feel!! Feeling good beats the scale :)

LOL this video cracked me up!

[gettinghealthygirl]

Do you feel like the 'raw foods' book contradicts 'in defense of food' ? IDOF seems to say that all food groups are ok if you eat them wisely, RF seems to eliminate a lot of food groups. Also, how do you get your protien after you work out once you are a raw food vegan? Any plans to do the raw food diet on shanti reads? Wow, question overload! :-P

[celinejen]

Sweetie, also go by how your cloths feel, and how you look phsically. I went down to 125 ( I looked gaunt ) very unhealthy, and I climbed back to 135-140 which my body seems to like. It really isn't about the scale, throw that notion away compleatly, or you'll go nuts. You look fantastic, and feel it too and that's what counts. :)

[silyrabbit68]

ugh, those guys are so annoying! why do you juice? doesn't that take all the fiber and nutrients away that are in the peelings?

[luvuhunny]

YEAAAAAA Shanti!! I'm so proud of you!! Another way to look at the percentage of raw, is the percentage of calories you are intaking that are raw. Great Q&A!!!

[paul20072007]

"when life gets back to normal"...I'm trying to think of a week when your vids have reflected a normal life!!

Regarding cost, as a Canadian I would hazard that this diet would be more expensive in the winter.

[sloppyjakekisses]

Maybe the boys could go in a play pen until you are done making your video? LOL I really like watching your videos and you look great! Look forward to the next video! Have a great day!

[bpurchase21]

god jason cracks me up...

[KeriLyn2980]

I think its awesome that you are at the point where that number doesn't matter anymore! You are so right that the way you feel is really

LOL i cant make a video with ANYone around me. haha I get distracted and embarrassed!

[applelove33]

:) thanks for the answers about raw :)

[rockybarragan]

you 3 are so friggin cute! put the boys on time out. lol

[rockybarragan]

good for you!!! you look so happy. i love it!

[ForeignBelle14]

I would've thought all the constant walking at Disney would counter any major eating...

I have to take that into account during my six hour expedition in the mall today.

[chloeelebeir]

great information thanks! really looking forward to the video where you show us everything you eat

[corn429]

love the shows but seriously shanti can you please get to your first goal... i watched below the yellow line and i was so happy for you and after hearing this i'm sad bud... GET THERE! OXOX :)

[Sarleland]

Another question... or maybe just your thoughts on this...

I have tried a lot of the dressing recipes from the book, and I really don't like them. Are you using recipes from the book? I've been using my regular hidden vally ranch, which I know I shouldn't, but otherwise I won't eat my salads... any thoughts?

[apollojakenwill]

LOL Jason and Greggers almost caused you to kill them :) Great video- sums up Rose's book pretty neatly.

[missleelee21]

I laughed sooo much !!! great video shanti!! im going to my nearest boarders to buy that book!! thx for doing this video.. makes a little more sense now =)

ALicia

xo

[ActionWords]

Shanti....

Way to persevere. Great information. Thanks.

[schmumpkin]

I'm nervous to eat raw due to stomach issues, but I'm going to look into it the best I can.

You look amazing *hug*, and I love your attitude and thoughts about the scale. :)

[SherLynn40]

schmumpkin....I suffered horrible stomach problems for 24 years....until i changed the way that i eat. I eat a raw diet...with the exception of turkey, chicken or fish and I have NO more stomach issues and do not have to take meds anymore.

[soonfully]

ok you do know that they spray chemicals on all these fruits and veggies I do hope your are washing them before you eat them.

[rugratstar]

I laughed so hard at this video! lol Boys boys boys! Thanks for talking more about raw eating! I appreciate it!

[yazmin32487]

thanks for taking the time to actually give us this info !!

[musiclover92085]

You look great(:

[deewaipio]

I have to say, I totally cracked when the crawling started! LOL Yep...almost missed that! haha...

I can't wait to see those videos to show what you will be eating...will be looking for them! Thank you!!!

[finneyfaery]

ok i have a really tasty, blended drink for breakfast.... SOOOO GOOD. gives you energy and is just GOOD! hand full of spinach leaves, a fuji apple, 1/2 banana, a few strawberries, some ice.. blend and enjoy! i have this for breakfast. it's green and gross looking, but it's GOOD!

[hawaii8087]

Hey Shanti

I've just started Raw as well and i think i will buy that book. There is a lot of great stuff online but i want something more in depth.

Oh and i am SO going to the farmers market this weekend. I can't wait!

[GlaamourPusss]

I cracked up through this whole video! So funny and entertaining, ;) BTW You look amazing! I cant wait till I feel and look that good! x

[finneyfaery]

ANYWAY>... this video gave me a great laugh. thanks. lol. WTF?? with him crawling around... LMAO!

[finneyfaery]

still would like some recipes from ANYONE if you've got them! PLEASE!!!! hate to seem annoying here, but i am so new to this lifestyle and want to keep at it.

[finneyfaery]

OMG!!! i've been doing raw this week.. but not as well as i should be.. but i do feel sooooooo much better. and my blood sugar levels have gone DOWN! i am now in the zone.. where i should be!! aaaaahhhhhhh!!!! sorry.. VERY excited about that. and YES i feel healthier than ever in my LIFE!!!! this is it people! this is what it's all about. i love food, always have, always will. and i want to focus on what i CAN eat, rather than what i CAN NOT.

[Bigpusysgost]

You have been doing pushups, right? Thats a form of weight lifting, muscle building. You will get toned, burn fat and even look leaner, but you will also weigh more. Don't be discouraged. Stay with raw food and keep exercising. After a short plateau you will get back to the 150's and then 140's.

[jebred19]

Hope your beach trip was good. I found some good YouTube raw peeps...kevingianni and rawradianthealth. They have recipes and tips. Been watching like crazy.

[oceanjessika]

thanks so much! I think I'm going to enforce a more natural way of eating with myself as well :)

[BrownEyedCAGirl]

This was very encouraging! I'm going to have to check out that book!

[thesiegster]

be nicer to your children!!

[mollybcutie2000]

Thanks for answering all those questions . hope you all had fun at the beach :o)

[deliciousdemon1]

Green smoothies are great to get all your raw vegi's and fruit. Plus blending makes it easier on your digestive system. Also, put a bit of fat like coconut oil in the shake-it helps with blood sugar issues. As far as protein. hemp seed, great omega fatty acids. good luck to you girl!

[msixpackabs]

I most definitely respect what you're doing.

Not that you would answer but I was wondering how far will you push this?

I mean, you know...skinny....already....

Oh, why am I still watching your videos?

I need to stay focus too.

Was so busy hating you that i didn't even notice how long your hair is.

Gregg, excuse me?....I am watching a video in here.

About hair...oh yeah...it suits you better.

Raw food, not ready yet.

Tell Gregg I said hi!

[msixpackabs]

Check the statistics and data and you'll see the rating...not me. I don't use to.

[AutumnLove05]

its good you don't care- because you look great! :) those last few pounds are the hardest. I'm trying to lose my last 7 and its been hard.....this Raw food diet sounds great.

[503408]

damn u look so skinny now
