AFTER 31 DAY JUICE FAST FRIDAY WEIGH IN=I'M DOWN 30.7 LBS AND A SIZE AND A HALF

[Super30something]

You're just so darn pretty. I'm so happy for you.

I know what you mean about the hamburger dreams. 2 weeks after going vegan I dreamt about a burger. I was soooo disgusting; chunks of slimy fat in it. Yuk!

[elkinoxxx]

 I THINK AM IN LOVE WITH YOU :)

[oADRo0621]

I started a green juice fast today!!! Im so inspired by you! everyone feel free to follow my journey too :)

[DanyelleMarie4Ever]

Congrats doll!

[lopezjo]

I tried a juice fast....I got far as 2 1/2 days and I gave into my starvation. I want to accomplish a 10 juice fast and hopefully a 30 day one...However, I don't hear many people touch on the extreme hardcore hunger pangs? Maybe its just me? How do you deal with the hunger?

[Kountrygyrl99]

be careful, don't do too much fattening foods, it will make you sick. Congrats and Good Luck!!!

[marquesn77]

Congrats!! you go girl, you are amazing and inspiring....I'm on day 3 of my juice fast and really feeling the detox symptoms and am freak in starving!!! lol but if you can do it I can thanks for the inspiration doll !

[Kajsy88]

Hello well done you, but with regards to your dream. your body is actually talking to you. it doesnt really want the solid diet. that my opinion. We are spiritual on some level all of us. Listen to your body. I hope MY own jucing fast will go as well as yours did <3

[scary99man]

wow thats amazing, i have a juicer think i'm gonna try this, i'm bigger than you were initially, what kind of juices did you make? and did you avoid fruits?

[aRawLifestyle]

@scary99man I made a vid each day I was on the fast including all the juices I made they are in a playlist in order on my channel under playlist 31 day juice fast, hope that is helpful to you it also shows the ups and downs that I went through and the spiritual awakening I experienced. Mostly Green juices with apples and lemon then I had a few days of only fruit juices like pineapple strawberry fennel and plain watermelon juice

[Yinhuwuduan]

WOW you look much younger .

[earthingrunner]

I bet she has some sexy feet.

[InspiredByLife25]

so happy for your weight loss. congrats.

[reneemcwhite]

thinkingg about doing one myself! thnx for vids!

[Lifechanging1973]

Congrats to you! You're inspiring me!

[mzdiplomat1]

Why do u look like ur about to cry. Thats great u lost so much weight. You should juice and exercse.

[aRawLifestyle]

@mzdiplomat1 I am just truly amazed that I completed it. I have a hard time completing things I start. I am in shock at the weight loss and I am more proud of myself than anything. Good feelings here :)

[burris06]

What juices did you drink for your fast?

[aRawLifestyle]

@burris06 i have all 31 days in a playlist it shows me making the juices. Hope that helps.

[PerfectPudding]

@aRawLifestyle

yo hows it going now? have you kept the weight off? cheers

[aRawLifestyle]

@PerfectPudding yes I have managed to keep the weight off and today I am officially 19 weeks pregnant. Raw food diet made me more fertile lol.

Back to weight loss after May 21, 2012!

[PerfectPudding]

@aRawLifestyle

Awesome :)

Does eating fruit have the same effect as a fruit fast?

[aRawLifestyle]

@PerfectPudding um eating 100% fruit is very cleansing but not if you are eating fruit with junk

[shag813]

Stupid fad diets. U gonna drink juice the rest of ur life? The first carb that hits ur lips is going strait to the love handles. Eat less cals than u burn... its that simple.

[aRawLifestyle]

@shag813 I did it for detox..ty for watching!

[SHICbeauty]

@aRawLifestyle Do you think your will pack that weight back on once now that you are done? Or do you have something planned that will help you maintain the effects of the cleanse?

[aRawLifestyle]

@SHICbeauty no I did not gain it back I stayed high raw. Now I am pregnant and plan to do another fast soon after I deliver :)

[ACLogikel]

@shag813 Actually genius it's not that simple. Eating less does not equate to weighing less, and eating more does not equate to weight gain. If it was that simple then the science between nutrition and health wouldn't be so full of confusion.

High nutrient dense foods are key. Plant based amino acids, fiber, fruit, and I'm a firm believer in quinoa and corn.

There's studies where people lose weight on a BK diet, and gain weight on a "perfect" diet. Everyone is different, nutrition is not.

[shannonchristine202]

@shag813 wow way to be positive! why watch the video just to be negative. people do these juice fast to detox there body, INCLUDING there tastebuds. Many ppl who are over weight are that way because there ADDICTED to a lot of unhealthy foods. This fast allows you to start your self over the right way. Educated yourself before you speak... douche!

[shag813]

@shannonchristine202 Hey fuckface im plenty educated. When was it ok to starve yourself? Im willing to guess that she gained 65 lbs on day 32. Things will even out when you eat a clean diet and hit the treadmill. So get off your shitty Dell computer workout and shut your bitch mouth!

[shannonchristine202]

@shag813 Well point PROVEN! You are NOT starving yourself by JUICING you smart guy. What happens when you eat food? Do you know? I'll give you the preschool version. the food you eat goes to your stomach and acid then liquifies it and your body takes from that the nurtients you need. SO 1.) your not starving yourself your giving your body a break. Im WAY to grown to go on a back and forth on youtube lol. "shitty dell computer lol" wow yeah i can tell YOUR A WINNER at life... lol smh

[shannonchristine202]

@shag813 The LESSON THIS SMART GUY HAS TAUGHT US... read and eduate yourself before you open your mouth for the world to see. Hunny keep doing what your doing, you look great. Just after your reboot, stick to a healthy lifestyle - keep incorporating the fruits and veggies :)

[aRawLifestyle]

@shannonchristine202 this was six months ago now and I have kept the weight off. I am now 4 months preg and still havent gained anything which does concern me but I am active and still eating high raw. TY so much for the support sweetie! I just recently posted a vid and you can see the weight loss still in my face compared to day 1 of the fast, I am so much thinner and healthier the re-boot was amazing and I WILL do it again bc I felt so amazing and stronger on the fast than ever b4!

[aRawLifestyle]

@shag813 most educated people do not need to substitute intelligent words with swearing. I have actually kept the weight off and did not do the detox to lose weight. Now its time you troll somewhere else. Much love to you!

[30DaysSJ]

awesome results. keep going in the right dirrection

[raggg2]

nice



[Tupoc4181]

COnGRATZ! that's terrific work. Keep it up

[ejaracil]

Congrats girl! Now help me! lol...

I can't seem to find the serving size per body weight. I am 250lbs 6'2...1 cup seems kind of small, what do you think?

how many cups is a serving size for you? how often do you drink a serving, every 2-3 hours? do you dilute juice with water if so what ratio?

[aRawLifestyle]

@ejaracil I never diluted with water unless using the blender then a little to get it going. You could dilute though and can drink more that way prolly 1/4 water to 3/4 juice or half and half :).

I would say 1qt (4cups) was a serving size for me every few hours..

[ejaracil]

@aRawLifestyle thanks for your quick reply! yeah 4 cups fills me up... I drank 1 cup and lots of water... 2 hours later my stomach is growling... I will increase my serving size... thanks!

[msgracielou987]

you look amazing!!! your skin! lovely!

[ss1975ma]

I'm confused, you're first video talks about why not to do this for weight loss, yet it seems you only did it for weight loss?

[aRawLifestyle]

@ss1975ma I did it for many more reasons than weight loss though that was only a part of it :)

[jasonh213]

im barely on my 3rd day, i live with my family and we LOVE food! haha i feel like im going to break!! ahhh haha and i work at a food place. ugh and everything i smell smells so damn good! haha im so glad i can find people like u who ican kinda take from and keep me going. hopefully i dont break before the 10 days! i did notice it is quite expensive tho! i spent 50$ on fruits and veggies that only lasted me 3 days! i dont know if i want to spend another 100$ on the days that i have left.

[TawnyMarieDesigns]

Well, I was really into all this until I saw her hosting is down for the blog...Congrats on completing the fast...Wondering if the results have lasted?

[aRawLifestyle]

@TawnyMarieDesigns I'm moving my blog to a new host! Should be back up in a few days! I was a size 20 and am now in a 16 currently

TY for watching!

[kingskid29223]

Wow!!!! Congratulations! You've inspired me to do a juice fast. I think I really need to detox since I am relatively new to the raw diet. Wish me luck!!!

[weightwatcherx3]

That is amazinggggg!!!! I'm so happy for you. I just started the juice fast yesterday. I'm doing very well so far. check out my page!! (im giving weight watchers a break for a little bit but still weighing in at ww)

[dommerdom]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and congratulations on the success. How are you doing now?

[wahopin]

Stick to veges and you will do fine.

[oanunkor]

I'm so proud of you! I think I'll try this... again., It's so hard though. You really have to be mentally strong.

[SUSHER5592]

Yaaay, I'm sooo happy you did it for 31 days.....im on day #3. im at 221 today, wow, i heard about this green smoothies last week and wanted to try it. hoping i can stick with it also.......

[OMGITSEMALYN]

oh my god!! congrats, you have inspired me woman! 

[ZRD254]

30.7 lbs. is flat out AWESOME! I started watching your videos from the beginning and quite frankly I was on edge several times wondering if you'd find the intestinal fortitude to gut it out and now look at you! Way to go Melissa! What an inspiration!

[xnerveagentx]

Oh wow, thank you so much for making these videos! I am looking into juice fasting and wanted to find someone else near my age/weight to see how it worked out for them, and you're a perfect example! The weight loss is so apparent in your face! You're awesome!

[creatress]

As a student, I would have like to have heard how the fasting affected you mentally. Early on you mentioned some headaches. Did you find your memory improve at all? The clarity of your thinking? Your sleep? (Hopefully you're getting MORE!) Also, with losing that much weight that fast and little extra exercise are you worried about lose skin flaps?

[aRawLifestyle]

@creatress I had some fogginess bc of the detoxing but mostly more mental clarity if that makes sense. BC of the lack of sleep and lack of fats and information overload with nursing school I felt like my brain was fried at times.. But many nursing students expressed the same problems and they were not raw and were not fasting. I did find my memory to improve and was able to articulate myself better (at times lol) I found I NEEDED LESS SLEEP.

[aRawLifestyle]

@creatress I slept very little and woke up with a spring in my step...and very energized, I just needed less sleep and still do. I sleep more now but still find I need less.. In the beginning of this whole journey I was so worried about losing the weight too fast and lowered raw intake and it just led to no good. So I eat as much raw as I want and figure it will work itself out. I used to be scared of saggy skin but raw foods help you tighten as you go, I will be ok and now exercise more :)

[EricVonHunter]

You know I am not doing the total fast, but I am replacing certain meals with just juice, maybe having one sold meal a day, usually a nice healthy Subway. Good job!!!



[yaya415]

Congrats on ur fasting! Im very interested in doing it too and what did u do to prepare urself the week before? I have seen the film "fat,sick,and neatly dead" by Joe cross and he inspired me to do it and the website it's amazing you should check it out!

[aRawLifestyle]

@yaya415 I watched that toward the end of my fast. Was good timing to get me to keep going! He is inspiring and all those people he helped I almost cried lol

I prepared with just eating raw and having mono meals. There is a few vids right before the fast started...

[2011Queenn]

Wow this is amazing, congratulations!

[kodonnell1]

Rock On with your Rawness. Great job

[eatingvegan1234]

Great Work Kid! :-D

[Bebba37]

I am so happy for you!!! Congrats!!! You did and are doing awesome!!! I wish we both lived near, would love to be friends. I have 2 little ones too and live in Miami.

[aRawLifestyle]

@Bebba37 I would always love to visit Miami :)

[whothehellgivesadamn]

I FASTED ON WATER ONCE FOR 26 DAYS UNSUPERVISED AND I WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 130 FROM A HIGH OF 215....THEN I SLOWLY WENT BACK UP TO 205...AT EVERY WEIGHT I WAS IN SUPERB PHYSICAL CONDITION...BUT NOW AFTER ALL THESE EXPERIMENTS, I THINK MY OPTIMUM WEIGHT IS AROUND 185, WHICH IT WAS FOR MANY YEARS ANYWAY...THE WHOLE TRICK TO ALL OF THIS IS JUST EAT LESS, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO EXERCISE MUCH...AND DON'T EAT PROCESSED FOODS AND IF YOU DO, IT'S OK, KEEP IT TO A MINIMUM IF IT KEEPS YOU GOING.

[whothehellgivesadamn]

KEEP GOING I ALSO LOST 31 POUNDS. I WENT DOWN FROM 206 TO 175 AT 6' I HAVE 2 BRAND NEW JUICERS ONE IS THE OMEGA 8006 AND I NEVER USED THEM, I ONLY EAT RAW FOODS, SOME TIMES I WOULD MAKE SOUPS OUT OF THEM, TEA IN THE MORNING AND THAT'S IT...175 IS PROBABLY TOO LOW FOR ME AND I'LL PROBABLY GO BACK UP TO 185...ANYWAY THE TRICK IS JUST EAT LESS, CUT YOUR GROCERY HAULS IN HALF...AND YOU'LL LOOSE EVEN MORE....I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANY EXERCISE, I'M A WORLD CLASS ATHLETE THOUGH SO I DON'T NEED TO.

[MyDreamIsHereNow]
