this is my second day going 100% raw, and it is amazing, i was a vegan for 6 months now going raw, really awesome vid.

[kishanabear]

thanks for posting:) congrats to you. i'm trying to change my life and appreciate the inspiration.

[bjay100]

Not sure. I was eating plenty of avocados and nuts. I think some of it has to do with heredity - I have a couple bald female relatives. Also the PCOS has some to do with it. I am going to see a dermatologist and see what they say.

[aliyoung9]

@bjay100 would you recommend the raw food diet then ?? are there any side affects

?

[bjay100]

@aliyoung9 I would recommend it but first make sure to get the go-ahead from your doctor. I have found that greens may not be recommended for certain conditions or with certain medications. Also, I would recommend making sure you are getting plenty of protein, calcium, and omega-3's. The only side effects I personally had was nausea on my first day of juicing when I did a juice feast. Also, I lost some hair! I think my body had a shock...so I would recommend doing it gradually.

@bjay100 i am eating like my normals meat food then having a fruit salad then im slowly reducing the amount of my usual food and increasing the amount of fruit salad etc i eat :)

You look better and sounds like you feel lots better. I'm eating many more raw vegetables lately and bought a juicer. I've battled PCOS for years and just started low dose metformin which I hope to not need in a few months of eating better and excercising. Best of luck to you!

[moodyarts]

Wow! You look so much more healthier! I am considering going raw for similar reasons as yours. Congratulations on your success!

[bjay100]

Thanks!

[Rose2gard]

I am a nurse and I am soooo proud of you for being so smart taking care of your health.

[kellimfass]

Hey do what works! Anyway I love your vids keep them up!  I just went out and got a raw diet "cookbook"...I'm inspired

[bjay100]

Oh kewl! Which one did you get?

[bjay100]

Thanks! I think I have some magic light in the bathroom, it makes me look a lot better than usual haha.

[yettafrommadison]

congrats I started vegan and am starting raw glad I came across your videos

[GrahamAndFriends]

that sure is alot of diaformen you take.

I am going raw soon for health reasons.

[bjay100]

Diaformen? Is that what they call it down under? Yes, I was taking a lot. I had to stop it when I was pregnant with my son. You wouldn't believe how much insulin I had to take. Crazy. I got tired of the medications and my blood pressure was insane. I was getting numbers like 250/135! It now runs like 110/70 woohoo.

[DenverDiva]

Great job so far! Why can't you have fruit?

[bjay100]

I have type two diabetes and the fruit makes my sugar levels spike.

[tpz29]

its crazy that food can make us so ill. a raw food lifestyle is awesome. makes you look and feel great.

[Jibbie49]

Don't be worried about dropping the pounds quickly, it is FAT and your body doesn't need it, as you are cleansing yourself of toxins. I'm glad you belong to SPARKPEOPLE (dot) com as I have found it so helpful.

[bjay100]

Ya, I LOVE that site. I recommend it to everyone for motivation, support, and tracking.

[wendysofia25]

its so inspiring how you have taken control of your life once and decide to do it again. I'm very interested in raw food. but honestly I have no idea where to start. congratulations! Wen

[bjay100]

it's hard to know where to start. some people do well just adding juice daily, and see how they like it then go for there.

I have more information on my site, but i can't seem to put the link. but if you look on my profile/channel, in the upper left box there is a link.

[mikentrishcartwright]

This may really help with the goal of taking less medicines. I was taking 21 prescription meds PER DAY until just recently. I now take just a single (ONE) medicine per day, Neurontin to help with nerve damage to my spine. It is just to try helping with numbness & that feeling of being electrocuted all the time. I refuse all pain meds, even over the counter. Maybe we will all get healthier here?

[bjay100]

Ya I think so! In your video you were talking about using different juicers. I actually use a Breville blender and strain the juice through a paint strainer bag. I tried a series of blenders and killed them all lol. I've seen videos on here of people just using cheap-o blenders too with a paint strainer bag or a nut milk bag. I'll add a video later showing how I do it.

[bjay100]

I give details on my blog, not sure if I can link here, I have the link on my channel info section.

I've also just put up the juice formula i use now. I did just juice for 30 days. And raw veggies and a little fruit the next coupe months. I used recipes out of Raw Food Made Easy book. I also like The Idiots Guide to Raw Food.

[LovingChoice]

What kind of juices do you drank?, What you ate during the two months that you lost 30 lb?, thank you, for shere your experiences, Peace
