I've never had severe skin problems, but had little rash like bumpies on my cheeks since I was about 8 that didn't go away with anything the dermo perscribed, and until recently there was always one little section of my face was broken out with a few bumps

I also tried doing a low-gi macrobiotic diet (search cate blanchett or madonna) and water fasting and the master cleanse....but nothing has worked as well as being raw long term. DO IT GUYS!

Thumbs up

Thanks guys I've been a relaxed vegetarian for about a year, eggs and fish, sometimes pizza (if I was having too much fun to care ) , then gradually became strict just this summer and into the fall, then I went completely raw early november starting with the master cleanse, and now i'm about 90% raw (I drink soymilk when I can't get almond milk, and I refuse to cut out sushi.)

It was never an outright decision to go raw, I kind of absorbed the eating habits of people i read about (like steve, also RawDownUnder on youtube) and close friends - so the whole deal was incredibly easy. i'm trying to apply that kind of 'osmosis' to everything i want to change now.

Dice, you look lovely.

You know, I'm 100% raw now for about a week, and it definitely looks like my acne's clearing up.

How amazing that such a little thing could bring such great benefits!

I started a 90% raw diet 2 weeks ago and transitioned to 100% raw for the past 5 days. and I have noticed a tremendous difference in my acne as well. I will post my before and after shots after 30 days. Hopefully I can approach how nice your face looks Dice!

I know hey? Normally I wouldn't be able to watch someone talk about smoothies and how awesome raw is for 10 minutes - but shes so enthusiastic and real and it rubs off on you!

Also it's like manipulative advertising for raw food, i always want mango and papaya after i watch. mmm...

I watched rawfooddownunder the other day as well. It's funny I do like her video blogs, but I don't connect as much with her as I do bunnyberry.

I haven't kept any before shots of the same quality that show the same detail as these ones. I like to keep looking forward once something's going good

Do you have a before pic? How much would you say it improved on a scale 1-10.

Default Cooked food UPDATE!

I've gone back to eating a few cooked meals, pita bread, tofu, potatoes, including a bit of alcohol and brownies - just to see what would happen.

I immediately went from feeling consistently elated to being downright moody. Think Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejudice.

And I noticed (with the help of my magnifying mirror) the first traces of those little bumpies coming back.

So, raw it is from now on!

I want to eventually transition from meat to vegetarian, to Vegan to Raw, but one thing that stops me is when I get to this point of no return where I can't go back. That sort of scares me.

I've been on the Raw food diet for 5 weeks now and check out the results!


Before: I was tired all the time. My skin was dry and scaly, I couldn't stop telling horrible puns.


After: Need I say more?
