RAW FOOD WEIGHT LOSS OVER 120LBS with BEFORE AND AFTER PICS #231

[spoechhacker]

She's 39 the HECK, I thought she was like 17-20 something... she did say she had 3 children though lol, but it still surprised me!

[JohnCaprioara]

Alright there! Have you heard about - fast abs magic (search on google)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my auntie got really defined Six pack abs and lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

[RawClorophile]

I could hear and understand very well everything she said. you all wanna repeat the opposite...

no problem.

yeah ?

[bhorsehappy]

God would this guy shut up? Yeah yeah yeah yep yeah. So obnoxious!

[azxycd]

Thats my mom :) Shes getting popular :3 love you mom

[PissySkyKat]

all that yep yep yeahyeahyeahyeah sounds more like he's hushing and rushing her along than engaging the "conversation". Isn't this supposed to be an interview, NOT a conversation? Plus, he's closer to the MIC than her, so he's louder. He really does need to learn to STFU and let the subject take the lead.

[xPurrfection]

Yeah count: 1000000000000 lol

[Florr07]

I can't help but laugh "yeah, yep, yeah yeah yeah... *random laugh* yeah yeah yeah, yep yep. YEAH YEP YEP YEP" hahahahaha...

[BeMyVforever]

=.= omg. The camera man is engaging in the convo. Showing that he was listening and is interested in it. == Idk about you but people here do that alot and its encouraging... Its only a pity that he's right next to the camera thats why his voice is louder. He isnt talking over her dumbasses.

[srn1962]

Love the t-shirt!! Where can I get one??

[MandieLeeAnn]

@srn1962 Did you ever find that shirt? I love it aswell!!

[marjorielard]

Put Victoria Everett's name in the description. She has a blog too. She didn't lose all that weight by joining 30bad. Yet you flash her name for a nano second and leave your logo up the whole time.

[sayachan007]

Nevermind, I saw the ending. The camera man was talking over her alot. Its a real shame. I could barely understand what shes saying.

[sayachan007]

What books she said she was reading?

[apaige22]

that also another way to know how much someone isnt listening when they keep talking , shame too i really wanted to hear her story :(

[apaige22]

camera man is a complete idi..YEP!

[aleiakay]

oh my word!!!! camera guy truly needs to shut up!!!!!!! and give her the mic!!!!

[eldaniel555]

Thanks for everything you're doing Durian. I'm 20 years old and am discovering the beauty of a raw vegan diet. I used to think "raw is raw" just like the woman here. Thanks again!

[chocolotti1]

i was trying to YEP YEP YEP YEP then i changed my diet to YEP YEP YEP YEP.....then i thought raw food YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH i did that for a few days HAHA YEP YES YEAH YEAH YEP

The cameraman has ruined for me. I got tired of shouting at the screen telling him to shut the f*** up.

SHUT THE UFK UP!

[not801010]

WARNING: The 801010 diet is a niche marketing fad that people like Harley Johnstone and Doug Graham are promoting for both financial gain and to satisfy their blind belief that nature is wrong and that we are supposed to eat only fruit and greens. It is an extremely deficient diet which poses very serious long-term damage including brain atrophy. Durianrider is a prime example of this. If you want to do it to yourself, that's your choice. But do not do it to your children, please!

[youarethedeal]

Harley I adore you but my goodness, stop saying yea yea yea.. LOL good for this woman.. she lost all that weight and looks great.. im crying

[kelleyjane07]

omg! she went from looking 40 something to looking 20 something!

[NoraDlist]

she looks 29, what a great testimony!

[besthusbandpedro]

Yep, yep, ya,ya,ya,ya, yep,yep,lol to funny!!!

[Fructosewest]

@besthusbandpedro Its a little annoying too. lol Yep

[isthisthefast]

Great video :-)

[mydadsatwork]

Remember to wear your helmet!

[ThePrincess8118]

This woman is truly inspirtational and hearing her story makes me feel more hopeful about my pursuit for a healthier life =)

[lurleeloola]

the guy holding the video says, "yeah" SO MUCH. hahaha.

[keira99]

I've been sick like Victoria for years now, thankyou SO very much for posting this video. As I eat a 'normal' diet full of salt, chemicals,fast food etc, it's so refreshing and inspiring for a newcomer that Victoria found it took some getting used to as well :-) The results are obviously worth it, thankyou again for putting out a message!! xox

[summergiles]

This girl is wonderful!



[TheghostYouKnow]

hey camera man shut up we just hear yea yea yayaya i can har her wonderful story but you just don't stop saying ya yep or yeah(shut the hell up)

[TheLozano066]

@TheghostYouKnow im glad someone posted my exact thoughts

[theShice]

@TheghostYouKnow He might also try setting up a microphone between himself and the interviewee. He's ten times as loud as her.

[MrSupasexi]

idk im still a litte skeptical about the whole schizophrenia thing to be honest...

[MrSupasexi]

idk im still a litte skeptical about the whole schizophrenia thing to be honest...

[JourneyOfBalance]

I suffer from depression and I hear voices too... and everyone was telling me I should take meds and start dealing with the issue once and for all. Taking meds ISN'T actually dealing with the issue, nutrition, education and positive attitude is. Your story is inspirational!!! :) I have been eating raw food now 60/40 and the voices are gone. Go figure! :)

[rmalta69]

@JourneyOfBalance Congrats! I've suffered from depression for a long time, and noticed a HUGE difference going high-raw & carb! = )

[42Grad]

Absolute fantastic and inspiring! Great vid! Thanks for sharing it!

[82Bdog]

@erniepond1 Starces don't do what you say. Refined sugar will do what you say cause there is no fiber. Many people are reversing type 2 diabetes on a high car-low fat plant based diet. Read anything from dr.neil barnard.

[erniepond1]

@82Bdog

I am sorry, but you knowledge of chemistry is woefully inadequate

I really don't need to read unscientific web sites based on psuedo science.

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 82Bdog is correct. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

[82Bdog]

@erniepond1 Oh so you don't read books that back up everything with peer-reviewed studies?? Why are all the doctors that are clinically reversing type 2 diabetes and heart disease doing it with a high-carb low fat plant based diet? Which is also the only diet proven to reverse heart disease and the one that all the longest-lived populations ever studied followed. Your knowledge is lacking in many areas.

[bijaseed]

I am so inspired by you!!! Thanks for posting this!!!

[izzyjessbell]

great video. Found it very inspiring. 

[IChoseTheRedPill]

she is exquisite in every way...

[scalothis]

Any thoughts anybody? My daughter (13) mostly doesn't like meat but occasionally she will eat it in a social situation, or eat chicken in bought sandwiches. She, obviously, must make her own choices but two things bother me, a) she wouldn't eat it if she saw a video of how the animal died and b) I don't want my money spent keeping the meat industry going.

It is surely not ethical to make a 13 year old watch a film about factory killing?

[1imesub]

@scalothis She should see where her food comes from. I stopped eating red meat when I was 14 after reading "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. It made a huge impact on me, but it was a positive one. Pretty much made it impossible for me to enjoy meat ever again. To this day, I have absolutely no desire to eat a dead animal, and that book I read, at age 14, had a lot to do with it.

Show her how meat is produced, show her friends too.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

I enjoy eating eating REAL food, not this tasteless RAW rubbish over sweetened wit simple sugars.

[scalothis]

@1imesub Thanks for taking your time to reply, I will order this book and find some not too hard hitting documentaries.

[1imesub]

@scalothis No problem. You don't have to spend the money on books and movies if you don't want to. There are plenty of free youtube videos to watch/show. I only read that book because I had to for school; my teacher was vegetarian and I think that had a lot to do with him choosing that book for us to read.

Years later, I saw actual footage of what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses and was totally disgusted. That's when I decided to give up the rest (chicken and dairy). Good luck!

[ZeBeFruity]

harley, will you please write a book already exclusively on the supreme importance on proper macronutrient ratio in the raw lifestyle.

[DemonicSymphonic]

she went from fugly to pretty attractive

[jukijunk]

39?!!!! I seriously thought she was in her early twenties!! I've seen 20 year olds who look older than her LOL

[certifiedhealthnut]

yep yeh that raw food works like a charm for cleansing

[aurorapsyche]

She does NOT look 39. I thought she was a teenager when I first started watching the clip. Amazing.

[aurorapsyche]

"You're my kid, you gotta be tough." <-- Good for you!

[67sunshine89]

She is an amazing woman! i love this video. Amazing!

[BilliantLady]

she looks really GREAT. she looks way younger than 39. she looks and  acts (biking, longboarding) like she's in her 20's. IMPRESSIVE. She looks way younger than she does in her 2006 picture.

[BilliantLady]

love love a hundred times love this! Wow - SO IMPRESSIVE she came up with the diet and started doing it all by herself. holy cow.

[erniepond1]

RAW food is notoriously indigestible except for ripe fruits. In reality, most of the vegetable and nut food they eat passes harmlessly through their bodies. So a calorie count is of little use.

[wickedtothemisty]

Its nice that this lady has lost weight, is eating healthy. But if she was diagnosed as schizophrenic and has heard voices at any point in her life, going off her medication is irresponsible. This is especially true if she has a child under her care. Schizophrenics off medication can be a danger to themselves and others. A healthy diet is a wonderful thing but the idea that it will cure schizophrenia is not scientific and takes away from the good diet message. Its in the land of snake oil.

[erniepond1]

@wickedtothemisty

schizophrenic people at present are not CURED with the existing medication. They are made fairly harmless and somewhat socially acceptable.

Lets hope a better course of treatment becomes available to help these poor unfortunate people !

[erniepond1]

Of course you are going to feel better losing all this fat. However, keeping this up for an extended period is the problem. RAW food is exactly that - mostly indigestible and completely unpalatable.

The big question is why make your life a burden by neating unattractive and tasteless food ?

[sillygoose544]

@erniepond1 Tasteless? You've obviously never had a banana mango smoothie.

Here's my recipe: 10-12 bananas, 2 large mangoes, ice. Blend till smooth (split up blendings if your pitcher is too small.) Be shocked as your body comes to life when you fill it with pure, living food. Done.

[erniepond1]

@sillygoose544

All you are metting is a sugar hit! Good recipe for diabetes 2.

[durianriders]

@erniepond1 Doug Graham, author of 80/10/10 has helped HUNDREDS of type 2 diabetic people get off and stay off insulin on his fruit based programme.

Time to get educated mate, or get medicated. ;)

[erniepond1]

@durianriders

So consuming large quantities of sugars is good for diabetics?

I don't think so !

See

diabetesincontrol(.)com/

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Every cell in the human body runs on glucose (sugar).

Excess fat in the bloodstream causes diabetes.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

EXCESS ANYTHING is not at all good!

Excess glucose in the blood induces the liberation of insulin which converts the excess glucose to FATS !

So where does leave youe discussion ?

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. You need to have this excess glucose or else you wont have any endurance at all. Excess fat just stores as fat, no conversion necessary. People who eat lots of fresh sugary fruit don't get diabetes, while people who eat cheese burgers and french fries do.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

This is just the storage tank as it were of readily available glucose. I am talking about EXCESS glucose that the body does not need. Excess glucose is converted to fatty acids in the liver.

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Yeah... that's why Harley is so fat. Your theory is BS.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

Sorry it is NOT my theory. It is the science of BIOLOGY!

Going on ANY starvation diet will result in very significant reductions in body fat. This is irrespective of what kind of food you eat !

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 It is your theory and it's wrong.

Wrong again. If you eat smaller portions, but you still eat a lot of fat, you will gain fat, not lose it.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

Sorry, you are just inventing things!

You ONLY gain weight when you eat EXCESS calories above what your body needs !

It matters not what the composition with respect to carbohydrates, proteins and fats .

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Of course it matters. Humans are carbohydrate seekers. Carbohydrates are the fuel our bodies are designed to burn, from our taste buds and enzymes in our saliva, down to our digestive tracts; everything about human anatomy indicates that we are designed as carbohydrate seekers; whether it be in the form of simple sugars, like fruit, or complex carbohydrates, like potatoes, rice and legumes. Nothing about our physiology indicates we are seekers of anything other than carbohydrates.

[1imesub]

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

Really your knowledge of science is pathetically small!

ENERGY BALANCE

ENERGY IN = ENERGY USED + ENERGY STORED AS FAT !

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 The body burns carbohydrates before fat, and fat before protein. Excess fat is stored as fat, excess carbohydrates are stored as glycogen, as I already explained.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

Sorry, both fat and protein are converted to glucose in the liver. Fat does NOT go directly into the bloodstream as such!

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Yes it does, which is why it creates a condition of Insulin Resistance, which leads to type II diabetes.

[erniepond1]

Would you look this up using Google or

Insulin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the insulin protein. For uses of insulin in treating diabetes, see insulin therapy.

This is the knowledge you need to get before you can answer these posts correctly! Sorry about that!

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 No, I will not. I have no interest in your pseudo-scientific BS. No-one on a naturally low fat, whole foods, plant-based diet need worry about getting diabetes, or any life threatening ailments of the sort. If you want to keep eating the garbage you've been eating, no-one is going to stop you, just don't come crying to me when you get diagnosed with prostate cancer, or a brain tumor, or get appendicitis, or God knows what else... I'll just say "I told you so."

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

It is NOT pseudo science but the SCIENCE of BIOCHEMISTRY!

Just because you can't understand it because of your lack of knowledge does not mean it is BS.

Why has the high protein diets become so popular ?

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Because many people, like yourself, are uneducated and gullible.  A lot of athletes, who eat that way, are just idiots... Literally, they have low IQ's and short lifespans.

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

Sorry getting a degree at university in CHEMISTRY is NOT exactly UNEDUCATED!

Relying on YouTube videos for your information IS UNEDUCATED !

You are NOt tackling a redneck here withy me !

[erniepond1]

@1imesub

"The body burns carbohydrates before fat, and fat before protein"

Simplistically this is true!

Carbohydrates are the easiest food the body can digest and utilize. This is why carbohydrates are the food of choice.

ALL junk food contains mainly carbohydrates like sugars and starches. This has resulted in people OVEREATING carbohydrates and our present epidemic of obesity and diabetes 2.

[Tupoc4181]

@erniepond1 Once again buying the bullshit you've heard. Look up freelea. I doubt she needs the large (and i mean large) amount of food she's eating... Yet, Where is all her fat?!?! oh she has none?

How does your science explain this.

[not801010]

@1imesub Harley is skinny fat, the worst body type. You fat deprived vegans need to learn a simple concept called BODY COMPOSITION.

[1imesub]

@erniepond1 Every cell in the human body runs on glucose (sugar).

[not801010]

@durianriders Well, if your bum-buddy Doug says so, it must be true. He also says if you blend fruits up its the same composition as breast milk. Utter BS!! Educate yourself, mate. I did a 3 year course on biochemistry and i learned all about nutrition, and I tell you, 801010 is a recipe for degrading health, which I can see from your numerous symptoms clearly. You will be your own death - every day that goes by, you look worse and worse, and people are seeing this.

[not801010]

Durianrider and Matt Monarch will be testimonials to what happens to men who do not eat any animal products for prolonged periods. Give it another year of so, and they will drop off like flies, just like all the other raw vegan men before them. It never lasts. They all look starved, anyone without a cabbage for a brain can see this.

[erniepond1]

@sillygoose544

How ripe are the bananas ? Semi ripe bananas contain indigestible resistance starch which only serves as a fiber in your diet!

Is not at all easy, is it ?

[sillygoose544]

@erniepond1 They at least have to have spots on them. They cane even be black in some areas. Mangoes are soft, fragrant and sometimes spotted (!). I only eat ripe fruit. That's what makes it taste good!

Admittedly, it's easier for me because I live near 2 "ethnic markets" that sell only spotted bananas, and I live in California and getting fruit is easy, at least in my area. But it's not about easy. It's about if you want it enough. You want it enough, it gets easy.

[ThePreppyHippie]

what a wonderful video. thank you so much for sharing this! <3

[Bourne2bwild1989]

This is almost like watching my story; no joke! I've lost 130lbs and feel a million times better as a raw vegan than ever before!

[OhioBuckeye611]

Anyone know how it's possible to gain weight on a raw vegan diet? I'm so discouraged. There must be something wrong with me :(

[Bourne2bwild1989]

@OhioBuckeye611 - Muscle? It weighs more than fat. I initially gained a few pounds when I switched, but then started losing fat soon after.

[wickedtothemisty]

@OhioBuckeye611 Count your calories, and go over the number that you actually burn. How do you go over? Its not THAT hard. A banana is only around 60 calories. 30 a day is 1800 calories, an active person will lose wait quickly at this rate. There is no magic to it, and no need to violate the laws of physics with crazy claims. Eating healthy is good for you, but don't think you can't gain weight ---- its just harder eating raw fruit and veg than say eating cheese burgers and pizza.

[MrMegaBryson]

I lost 100lbs eating 30 Twinkies a day

[guitarbilly48]

I can't believe she is 39!?! She looks 20!

[FKinTheCoffee]

@guitarbilly48 I know, I was shocked when she said that :O

[mushroomhill]

holy shit!

[MrLiquidgypsy]

i want to go raw so bad, but my college wont add straight fruit for my meat plan. As much of a bummer it is, i haven't eaten meat or dairy since march. Vegan for the WIN! Thanks for posting Harley

[wickedtothemisty]

@MrLiquidgypsy Meat plan?

[MrLiquidgypsy]

@wickedtothemisty Meal*** Meal plan. tyop... my bad

[ZeBeFruity]

@MrLiquidgypsy straight fruit is an oxymoron anyway, your college should def add gay fruit

[lehman]

Kevin Trudeau is a scam artist.

[Canyoudigityesyoucan]

[Canyoudigityesyoucan]

wonderful!

[FreeUpYourMind]

great video. so inspiational :)

[carmay30]

what do you feed your 11 year old daughter (and other kids)?

[RewardHonesty]

I really like two things about this video. Of course Victoria's story and her success! Man, that is amazing! Congratulations to her. Second is how Harley didn't get bent out of shape with all of us poking a little fun at his yeh, yeh, uh huh, yeh... I bet he tones that down a bit next time and keeps rollin' strong. Thanks for another great video, Harley. I check everyday hoping you will post a new one :) Take care friend.

[dinos98]

Harley's doing his impression of Dave Hester of Auction Wars bidding on a storage unit! LOL

[kingcolleen13]

Great Video. You don't sound impatient. You sound engaged... ;)

[vicky2c]

Love you vic and Harley! Glad you made this..I am sharing on my fb page..She rocks! What a pioneer!

[RedChicow]

Hi Harley

Do you know where I can pick up copies of 80/10/10 and The China Study in Sydney or alternatively order and get delivered to via Aust Post (not courier to my home)??

PS - your tips 1000 calories pre ride and dates on the ride are doing wonders - Thank You!

[darlingfruta]

@RedChicow amazon.com

[natureasintended]

@RedChicow foodnsport sells it. You might be able to arrange with the Aussie Post to collect your parcel/post from the post office (The UK post office offers this service). Enjoy :)

[kingskid29223]

Wow what a testimony! Thanks Harley for sharing this with us. Very inspiring as I'm trying to lose quite a bit of weight myself.

[Greenhelper7]

Well done Victoria! You look amazing!

[nyxs60]

Awesome! That's a wonderful life story..;)

[berawnow]

Hmm, yeh,yeh,uhuh,yeh,oh um,um,yeh,yehyehyehyeh.did anybody hear what the girl said what the girl said, tried but couldnt watch till the end, yehyeh,uw common i have some

[grantg]

victoria looks lovely very well done to her iv friended her :0)

[zhlo]

She looks amazing! great video harley

[CBasie2856]

Wow, she looks 24!!

39????????????

[natureasintended]

Wow this is wonderful. Victoria, I think you could pass for 19yrs old :)

[CBasie2856]

The video was good except all I could hear was Harley saying "yup" every second.

[NaturesCycles]

Yeh, yeh, yeh, aha, yeh, ahm ahm, yeh. yeh. Harley sounds like some kind of frog ribbeting in the background. It sounds impatient.

[natureasintended]

@NaturesCycles Aww, his voice is louder because it's next to the microphone but gotta love how he's relating to her positive story and energy.

[durianriders]

@NaturesCycles Yeh yeh, yep I hear you and learned that my voice is louder with this new camera. Yep, yeh for sure. ;)

[erniepond1]

@durianriders

Sure you can lose 120 lbs on a poor unbalanced diet !

Now you can start getting real and start eating REAL FOOD. ALL you need to do is to avoid simple carbohydrates like ALL sugars and starches !

[82Bdog]

@erniepond1 Starches are real foods and all the longest-lived populations ever studied ate starch based diets with fruits and veg. All ate high carb-low fat. Take that paleo dogma elsewhere.

[msvioletsun24]

@durianriders but i like the way you talk! it's like "right on, right on"~ who doesnt like a person who's agreeable? =)

[considereden]

@durianriders Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeeeh.  LOL!

[dong2phat4u]

@NaturesCycles I've noticed the "yeah yeah yeah yeah" has become a very popular catch phrase over the last few years. A lot of people using it nowadays in the wrong context, I feel. I agree, it sounds impatient.

[sillygoose544]

@NaturesCycles LOL, yeah. He's all amped up talking to her. Her story's amazing.

[monkeysdemons]

great work victoria. you look 10 years younger than your age, easily.

[Russellprmayne]

well thats just inspirational.

[IronCladBen]

Great video, such an inspiring story!

[Leeeeeeena]

I like her. Well done.

[RosalindandPearls]

Wonderful ! Great vid. A great inspiration to many for sure.

Blessings and thanks.

[sabatheus]

Very inspirational...way to go Victoria. Rock on!

[sillygoose544]

Yeah yeah, she lost 120 lbs, cleared out her mental issues including schizophrenia, and is happier and healthier than ever before. But where does she get her protein?

Kidding. She's an inspiration.

[MrMaryJanes]

@sillygoose544 lol protein. Silly dairy industry lies =)

[LordAngus1992]

@sillygoose544 Really, I hate it when people say I'm not getting enough protein. Sure, there's no scientific analysis backing up your claim, you did not actually measure how much protein I need and how much I'm getting, you just assumed I'm not getting enough, so I'll just assume as well. I have experienced physical and mental health beyond my wildest dreams, I have more muscle than I ever had before, but I should throw all of that away to make sure I'm getting enough protein right?

[tamisweetie]

@LordAngus1992 I understand what you mean. When I try to open up to people about the way I live, they always say I am not getting enough protein. It's like, can't they just support me and the way I feel?

[erniepond1]

@sillygoose544

The problem is that protein is derived from body muscles! NO other protein if any in a RAW diet is available.

[sillygoose544]

@erniepond1 You can get sufficient amounts of protein on raw if you eat enough. And I doubt we really need too much. Mothers milk is about 1.1g/100ml protein per 7g/100ml carbs (in the form of lactose). This is what were drinking when were growing the most, and this is pretty similar to what you find in fruit. I eat abut 3000-4000 calories a day, roughly 70% raw for now. My strength hasn't suffered (I do weight training now) and my energy is WAY better.
