RAW & FIT Experiment II Day 68 - Raw Beginners

[loveit174]

i just adore you!!

i'm starting my raw food journey.. and it's inspiring to see how it works on such a beautiful person!!

stay upbeat so these videos continue to rock :]

[ypharr]

I'm interested in what the t-shirt says. "Dhamma"?. Are you into Buddhist teachings?

[RawDownUnder]

You could say that :)

Dhamma - natural law, the source of things and truth...

[ypharr]

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[SaucisseMerguez]

I typed in "worry rock green day" and I found this video xD Damn youtube search system is precise xD sorry for the useless comment.

[Rashida1]

This is def normal, because you are having a mental purge as well as you detox. You look reallly great though. Your skin and eyes look so bright and clear. :)

[sarabach]

Your videos are so great, and my feelings are so similar to yours. I've been raw for four months and I have been so excited and happy about it, dancing around like a little kid in this over commercialized world, and just feeling full of energy. Sometimes there are the days when I feel old emotional habits arise that I have to deal with, but it's great to get on youtube and see someone as enthusiastic about life and being raw as I am!

so thanks for your videos!

[coffeefreakzzz]

hi, i end up storing some of the leafy greens in my fridge and it gets rotten, could you please share how you store them?

[RawDownUnder]

All the greens I use now come straight out of a biodynamic garden. They are not washed, so all the greens are dry inside a big Tupperware container. If you can't get organic or biodynamic and therefore want to wash them, you could use a salad spinner to dry them again as much as possible and place something in the bottom of the container to elevate the greens and help with air circulation. Hope that helps :)

I ADORE you. Good info. I'll start with the smoothies and check out that website. Funny that you are feeling 'blue' and your video had an artsy blue light wardrobe/setting. Pretty.

[LovingRaw]

Enjoyed your video, your fun!

[questiontime1976]

yes and her videos are much better than yours phil. at least she's honest, posting videos telling us exactly how she feels, the highs and lows, real time, as she experiences it so we can truly judge the experiment. not like you. for all we know you could have 3 months of hell then record all your vids on the 1 good day you have, giving us a completely untrue, and most definitely unraw perspective of the diet. take a leaf...

[bubblybombshell]

I've been reading a lot about raw food...I'm going to give it a try. Great video! I enjoyed listening to you, a real fun video. 5 stars

[IncomeInfinity]

Everything is blue in your video! It is great match to your blue eyes. Wow.  I love blue!

[bloinginthwindletitb]

anyone fancy a sing song ... la la la do do od da da da

[evissimo]

Hey Terese :) I love your blog :) Did you know that on Saturday 14th Feb at 7:25 GMT the "Mars is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars".

Let's celebrate The Age of Aquarius :))

[ozwasp]

Fuck you're a tripper (no offence :-)), but some people say that about me.... I'd love to have a green tea with you sometime?

[RawDownUnder]

Sure - As long as you're not tripping :)

[avatarglen]

your such a trippa. love. see ya in a coupla weeks.

[nellievance]

so adorable.....thanks

[deehenager33]

question-can you post one of your playlists that you use for workout?

thank you so much for the vlogs that you share with all of us! they are uplifting and inspiring every time

[natedizzle83]

doesn't chewing generate digestive enzymes? i worry liquid diets do not stimulate appropriate enzyme production. i had nasty depression on liquid diet so please take care beautiful therese!

[RawDownUnder]

You're totally right. It's actually an important point that I haven't covered. It's really important to chomp or chew while your green smoothie is in your mouth - this releases saliva and enzymes :)

[uswench]

I have to tell you. I feel the same way. I used to sit in meetings discussing million dollar contracts and thinking to myself..."This is very grown up." I couldn't believe people were listening to me....

Love your videos! I will eventually get thruough them all. I am on day 12 of a 40-day master cleanse and will move into raw food afterward.....

[leeJoji]

lol you're so funny :) hope your business is going well.

[setpointmatch]

What about silverbeet, is that classified as a dark leafy green?

[RawDownUnder]

Yep, but it tastes like poo :( My Gran used to make me eat it... yuk!!

[SuperfoodGirl]

Ha! You're so cute - I love it! :-)

[bloinginthwindletitb]

you know like those birds who zoom around in nature , and one wonders how they survive in the elements and how they get all that zoomy zoomy energy that sort of by passes the slow drudgers of the current or past human way , you are on the level of the birds , its really funny and intersting

[bloinginthwindletitb]

ha ha ive just got up in the middle of the night , and i started focusing on your vlog , and by three quaters of the way through you turned into a wag tail

[theshaggyskinhead]

You mentioned something about 'the divine', what are your spiritual/religious views? (If it's not too personal)

[RawDownUnder]

Dhamma.... (and I don't mean Buddhism - I don't believe Buddha was a Buddhist). The laws of nature/truth.

[keisan]

Yay!!! You're back finally! Hahaha, I check in almost everyday to see if you've posted. :D I've only been between 50-60% raw for two weeks now... and the green smoothies..oh I could live on them and be happy. I just have a regular store blender...and my smoothies are a little chunky but it works for this jobless student. Just one question: I know how many raw foodists (including yourself) have said that they eat fairly simple, couldn't a person starting out do the same?

ps I LOVE that song!

[RawDownUnder]

Absolutely a newbie could do the same - I highly recommend it :)

[MissyBelleSYD]

Yay..I've also booked my ticket for Victoria Boutenko in Sydney and can't wait

[jtmoneyky]

Should someone starting on raw have a food processor?

[RawDownUnder]

If you want to start making raw pasta sauces then it's great to have one. You can do it in the vita mix but it'll end up like soup instead of salsa, if you know what I mean :) They are also great for making larger amounts of things like guacamole for dinner parties. I have one and used it a lot in the beginning.

[Luciek69]

Have you heard of Bashar?

[RawDownUnder]

Nope??

[deewaipio]

You mentioned your training tape. Do you sell them? You are so peppy and alive!  Love your spirit!!!

[RawDownUnder]

Cool idea :) No, I don't sell them. I create playlists for my ipod.
