  • ***** :)

  • A Very Inspiring Video thanks for that...

  • absolutely amazing story! what's the name of the book - the source of this transformation? i am trying to lose 4 stone. Your story has given me hope and direction

  • Wow. Very inspiring.

    I'm trying to lose 20lbs in 30 days. Raw foods are a big part of that. Check my site for pictures of everything I've eaten in 2 weeks.

  • what book did you read that inspired you so much?

  • I went raw after watching this video! for 3 whole month best thing ever,but as soon as I started eating cooked foods again i cant seem to get back on track...didnt think it would be so hard. Any support out there?

  • Don't kill yourself for a mess up, this is the usual reason why we dont start again, you arent failing, you are human. I jus suggest readin lots of books, a great one: The Live Food Factor

    Also try out many delish recepies that are much like cooked ones! :D I also tryed avocado icecream! Just avo with you fav frozen fruit and some honey :) I could eat it more than anything else, it slid down with a healthy concience cuz only the hunny is unhealthy and I can cut down on it in time

  • Angela is a shining example of human potential. A great reminder not only of the importance of a raw, natural diet, but also of the ancient wisdom of "kala" - all change is possible

  • I am starting this tonight!

  • amazing, wow this is really hero here, no surgery and she lost that much purely amazing

    congratulation

  • Don Tolman has a series of 8 videos on here explaining exactly what you are talking about. Watch them and let me know what you think ?

  • Comment removed

  • This is really motivating. I have been revisiting the Fit for Life book recently which is also a raw food way of eating.

  • I am eating salads nightly with a chicken or fish protein but I also got a Oster blender $49 and blend a grapefruit in the morning and add pomegranate and acai powder to it for a nice lift to get me going. I am losing about 1.4 pounds a day, so my WII fit tells me lol..p.s. i am also burning about 500 to 800 calories a day on my elliptical and lifting weights every other day

  • Raw food yayyyyy

  • Maybe raw food really is the best... I almost never feel 100% full after eating... it improved since I quit eating meat a few months ago but I still cook my food. 2 months ago I could eat a whole barbecue and still not feel full... maybe cooking actually modifies the nutrients so the body doesn't get what it needs no matter how much you eat?

  • I am itching to go mostly raw vegan when I go to college! with some cooked things here and there like carrots,spinach,and broccoli.

  • the food looked good. i wanna know the recipes

  • Raw Food !!

    Raw Food !!

    It`s just amazing!!

  • RAW FOOD!

    THE BEST!

  • Shes atrractive! and she has a deffinite glow.......and she was over wieght ?! what more proof do I need (although Im a guy).

  • Hey i've just been recommended to go on a raw diet..but transition it into a lifestyle, to help reduce the rate at which a condition i have gets worse..So by raw...it just means living things aye..fruit/veg/chicken and eggs? But you can cook the veges aye, they dont needa be eaten uncooked...or do they...? :) Lookin fwd to it, esp with summer fruits on the way :) Seaweed idea for her dinner looks so good too. Yum! :)

  • 1st, man shouted:" I make FIre !!!, so i can now Cook food".

    Some few thousands years later,

    Man shouted again: " RaW FOOD EnzYmes!!!Good for HealtH!!"..

    Then man think again:" Why the hell did I make fire in the 1st place..?!?

    (Personally, I want to eat raw too, but I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the pesticides. I lived in a less developed country, so NO ORGANIC - even if there are, it's probably a scam).

  • Fat commentator at the end of the video: "I don't know if it's tasty, but it does seem to work." Having gone to a 'mostly' raw diet (and losing 40 lbs in 5 mo.), I can say that raw, organic fruits and veggies taste awesome. After eating cooked foods at family reunions, parties, etc, I often craze the taste and energy of raw, living foods a great deal. Once you begin to retrain your mind-body's conception of fullness and taste, it's amazing how the body begins to craze the natural taste of foods.

  • This was very inspirational and uplifting, I may incorporate some of this into my fitness competion

    Thanks for this

  • This video is probably one of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen on youtube. I've started the raw food diet and I love it! I've never felt better!

  • This video is seriously so inspiring to me. I've been looking into the whole "Raw Food" idea and I love it.  Your video has made me want to do this even more, thank you so much for being such an inspiration

  • What the hecks raw chocolate?!

  • raw chocolate is AMAZING!!! It's raw cacao...very bitter but when you mix it with raw coconut butter and raw agave nectar, omg it likes like the richest chocolate truffle you've ever tried in your LIFE.

  • I really dont like it how they called her story "nutty diet", implying a raw diet is crazy..

  • i second this.

  • I third. Can't trust the media.

  • I have never met a person who went raw and stayed fat. Never. But I have met a lot of fat people who argued about why raw/vegan is not healthy...and stayed fat.

  • What are they saying ?

    7 1/2 stones ?

    They measure weight in stones ?

  • Yeah here in the UK 14lbs is a stone so that makes her weight loss what, 105lbs?

  • hi everyone. i had similar questions and ya know what you don't have to go completely raw. just do your best! im 16 and i have a lot of time but by 18 im going completely raw but in the meantime dont stress over anything. stress is worse than anything

  • Good point. If you're too radical in your switch then it's hard to maintain. As you incorporate more raw foods you'll start feeling better. When you revert back to eating chicken, rice etc. you're energy will start in decline. You won't like the feeling it gives you compared to the 'high' of nutritional, live foods.

  • i need to go back at being raw, mainly veg, fruits, nuts, and raw butters (raw almond butter, sesame).  In los angeles my friend Juliano has a resturant which serves only raw, but is gormet, has raw pizza

  • Hi Bluejay,

    I will be visiting LA in the next few months. Where is your friend's raw food restaurant?

    Thanks,

    Robin

  • juliano's raw 609 Broadway , Santa Monica • 310-587-1552

  • I can't go cold "turkey" but watching these types of videos has encouraged me to head that way.

  • Some raw foodists drink raw dairy products. Casein is actually a human protein as well, but it becomes harmful to the human body when pasteurized,homogenized, and/or defattened.

  • I have a question - Can you only eat fruits and veggies? What about proteins from dairy products like milk and cheese? Are those allowed, I know they tend to be processed often, but they come organic and thats what I like to drink, along with soymilk. Any tips?

  • With massive weight loss is there a need for skin surgery? I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me...

  • But what happens if you want to start eatting cooked food? like meat.

  • what for?

    meat isn't healthy

  • TRUE

  • I have to ask, was there any problem with sagging skin where the 'fat belly' used to be? I'm very interested in the raw food style of eating and I'll be researching recipes within minutes !

    Well done and thanks for sharing

  • Lots of people mock or try to debunk raw food diets. I eat a not particularly strict macrobiotic-ish diet with maybe 60% raw food. Honestly, you eat more RAW you feel better. You get virtually no colds and when you do they last no more than 48 hours and never get severe. Your skin is fresher, you smell better, your teeth looker cleaner, you have more energy and feel less 'heavy' inside.

  • isnt raw food diet same thing as being a vegeterian??

  • vegetarians eat cooked food. Raw foodists do not.

  • I like this type of eating, too. Good for Angela for getting rid of all that extra load! Poor sound quality, though....

  • In response to the show host, Yes raw food IS tasty, ~all tastes are acquired, yes even for sugar, salt, fried etc. ~So my suggestion: Do research and find out what is whole unprocessed food, and slowly transition to it. Find friends who eat the same, because they are also looking for a like-minded friend in you.

  • Why is it that when I eat a raw meal, I feel as if I havent eaten a thing all day, and I get really hungry and weak like my blood sugar has dropped.

  • Hi :) Thanks...there are many factors - you may not be eating ENOUGH raw food or foods that don't suit you, are imbalanced, etc. The main issue though, is you're starting to DETOX. Any chance your body gets to release, it takes. My partner, Matt Monarch, explains detox clearly in his book 'Raw Success'.

    Try slowly eating more raw, while also removing the main 'nasties' - processed starches & refined sugars. You'll see dramatic shifts. Angela. xxx

  • Congratulations Angela, maybe I'll have some sushi tonight in your honor :D

  • what does stone mean?

  • Hi :)

    In the UK we use 'stones' as the weight measurement. One stone contains 14 lbs and is also equivalent to about 6kg. So, I used to weigh around 21 stone, which is approx. 295lbs/133kg. I lost around 11 stone/160lbs/70kg...

    Hope that makes sense ;)

    All blessings,

    Angela. xxx

  • Does anyone know if she have to have skin surgery after that? I'm eating mostly raw now too and my energy is way higher!
