[QUOTE=n_vizion;4443] I read on another forum that one of the side effects of raw food eating might be the loss of hair in large amounts because of detoxification. /QUOTE]
I haven't had any noticible detoxification side effects. Although I didn't quit cooked food cold turkey ( or tofurkey ). I was vegan for 4 years and then in January of this year I started drinking 1 to 2 ounces of wheat grass every day, juicing with my GreenStar juicer. In June I went raw for 2 weeks. I switched back to cooked food because I was really busy and didn't have good equipment.
When I switched to cooked food the first thing I had was a veggie burrito from Chipotle which was my favorite, but this time the beans and rice were lifeless almost like eating cardboard.
By August I had all of the essential equipment in addition to the juicer, Vita Mix blender, food processor, Excalibur dehydrator, young coconut cleaver etc. I kept eating cooked food but experimented with different raw foods. In September I slowly transitioned to all raw food and then decided to go exclusive.
Angelicfruit,
I didn't measure my weight loss, but wearing a belt has become a necessity in the last month and I can fit into some pants that were too tight before. However my upper body seemed to retain if not gain muscle mass and I don't look too thin. I believe eating raw will restore your body to your ideal weight whether you're underweight or overweight.
TGL,
How long have you been eating raw?
