Why I Went Raw by Bill Hoppa

Hear how this unlikely self-professed "meat-and-potatoes-guy" went raw for a day and ended up staying that way (and losing 40lbs in his first 4 months!) This interview is a must-see!

I would love to hear from Bill again and how his raw food diet continues to change his life!

I am going to hop over to his Facebook page now and ask him if he will come on here and share : )

I love this video! He's down to earth, and is very sincere. I going to try raw. I'm 50 and could stand to loose 90 pounds. I have Fibromyalgia and there is a history of Diabetes in my family. I'm very fatigued all the time and I want to make a life change by getting healthy. Should I start out by water fasting or should I just start eating raw? Where should I begin? Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

that's a great story, thanks for sharing it. i don't think there's any way i can switch to 100% raw diet, but i want to go a lot more raw. inspiring vid though. i never considered a dehydrator either so i'll have to check that out (already got the vitamix and a breville juicer as well). are there dehydrators you recommend?

[karenknowler]

The EXCALIBUR for sure.

i wish my hubby would listen to this fella. im gonna lead by example until he wakes up. however, ive lost 75 pounds and my son has lost 50 since i began eating as raw as i can. the house is full of veggies.

really good testimony, i'm really tempted to try this! it seems like it's so much more satisfying and better for your body than any cooked diet

I don´t believe it! I stumbled upon this video and recognized Bill immediately...we went to the same school in WNY and his Dad was a teacher there. I´m going to start a raw food diet tomorrow, and seeing how happy Bill is made me even more determined to do it... my juicer´s revved up and rarin´to go! Say hi to Bill from Jill in Germany! :-))

YES, still practicing a high raw lifestyle. "Experimented" over the holidays to make sure it wasn't just my imagination. All kinds of bad effects: mucus, sneezing joint pain, disjointed sleep patterns, low energy, unbelievable cravings, irritability, . Katy and I just feel sooo much better eating mostly raw. Can't tell you how much energy and confidence I have as 2010 begins! Ramping my commitment for the next round of wellness benefits. How about a follow-up video in spring sometime? ;)

Good luck on your raw Journey. I think you will find that it just keeps getting better & better. Ronnie & Minh

You awsome!! I am in transition vegetarian right now then raw.

[marnstein]

great going! transition foods (nuts) are good, but keep your eye on the goal - go really 100% raw (nuts are not raw at all, try to plant them, they will not grow, as they are dead from being cooked at temps. in a dehydrator - sorry that is the truth, nuts are not really 'raw') go low fat raw - eat fruits and veggies! read the book 801010 by dr. doug graham!
