#5 Living on Raw Foods & Losing Weight -- 2 Month Update -- PeterDouglasRAW

It's been two months that I've been transitioning into a raw food vegan diet. I decided it was time for an update. Most days I try to be 100% raw, but some days (usually when I'm away from home for most of the day, or traveling) I find myself drinking the best quality store-bought juice rather than freshly made juice at home. I bought a juicer and have been juicing every day for over 3 weeks already.

Since May 4, 2009 I've been participating the RTP (Real Time Physique) Contest run by Adam Waters (check him out on YouTube). The only stumbling block I had was the food. Since most people are meat eaters, and I've been vegetarian/vegan for the last 8 years, I needed to modify the food component. Then I stumbled across Philip McCluskey of Loving Raw (he's on YouTube as well).

Both these guys have been my mentors, even though I have not met either one in person (yet). I owe it to Adam for getting me started on the road to getting in shape and daily accountability. I owe it to Philip for introducing me to the wonderful world of raw food vegan eating. And of course, to all of the awesome people who have followed along with me on YouTube and the Shreddersphere.com.

Sorry for the poor audio quality of this video. I need to get a wireless microphone for recording outdoors.

WOW! you look great!

I've just started transitioning slowly to raw foods for the past 5 months. I think I've lost about 25lbs now. I used to eat zero fruits or veggies, and this week, I decided to bring it up to about 80% raw, so I'm sure my weight loss will start going faster now. Thank you for that video. it was very inspiring.

Awesome! That's the way to do it! I eat/juice a lot more fruits and veggies now. Raw foods are a great way to lost fat and get healthier - at least that's what it's been for me. Congrats on your weight loss, and glad you found this video inspiring! Have an awesome day :)

[PeterDouglasRAW]

Hey bro, that's awesome! It's very encouraging for me! I am really looking forward to being at 220 lbs, and at this rate, it won't be long. Even if it takes a year, it will be worth it. I'm in the west, in Pierrefonds, so not far from you.

Have an awesome day!

I hope that you are still doing well on your raw food journey. I see that it has been about 9 months since your last video.

He's on his way. didn't you see how much weight he's lost already. I used to judge people when I saw someone who obese, but now I think.. what if that person has just recently lost 100lbs and is still losing? that is an achievement...so ya I think he looks great in comparison...I didn't say he looks skinny

[sac91606]
