FINALLY my weight is dropping again! It’s only the second day all raw, and boom! Dropping 4 pounds!
I could not budge my weight at all on Raw til 4 or Raw til 7pm. Only when I go all raw does my weight go down (and not up)!
Super happy and feeling loads better now!
Here’s the video of the food I ate and my exciting day:

B = Banana smoothie
L = More bananas with romaine
D1 = Strawberry datorade with 14 dates
D2 = Romaine salad with mango, blended strawberry, 1.5 cups of corn, small amount of guacamole, and celery
Total cals = just over 2500
Getting ready to fit into my New Year’s Eve dress and for the Key West trip clothes!

I’m doing Raw til 7pm, then a high carb, low fat vegan dinner for now.
I’m making these little cuties for our Christmas Eve party!
Toothpicks
Grapes
Bananas
Strawberries
Apples cut in a circle with a strong straw
What are you making?

I just saw this video from Plant Based Athlete, and I’m having a major revelation!
Are we…
– overestimating our fruit calories and
– underestimating our starchy dinner calories
If you have been following me for a while, you know that my weight has been “stuck” at this level and not budging. I know I have a little more jiggle to lose, so what’s the deal?
Well, I really like this guy’s answer!
He shows how a lot of us eating Raw Til 4 or raw food until dinner, and then a high carb, low fat vegan dinner may be…
– overestimating our fruit calories and
– underestimating our starchy dinner calories
Thus, causing weight gain or weight “stuckness” (my word).
I like it!
I’m going to investigate this further and see if that’s my issue!
So basically I would need to increase my fruit calories further, and reduce my dinner starches, but weigh them to know for sure where I’m at.
Because perhaps I’m eating over 4000 calories per day, when I think I’m eating 3000.
Yikes! But good to know!
Check out his awesome video which details this further… Especially if your weight is stuck, even though you are raw vegan or raw til dinner.
I had heard about this and gave it a try.
I have had premature gray hair since I was 18 years old.
1. Lather and massage into dry scalp sesame oil (untoasted seems to be preferred).
2. Either leave on for 20 minutes or more, or sleep with it on overnight for stronger faster results. (Can put a shower cap or similar item over the top to avoid the smell.
3. You can add heat to it (blow dry it or sit in a sauna with it) also supposedly speeds up results.
4. The people I heard it from said to wash your hair with some shampoos and conditioners that cut through oil.
This was how it looked after a couple of nights sleeping with it on. You can especially see near the front that there is more color now. The sesame oil even changed the roots, which were due for a highlight touchup.
…which is quite different from this look below, which was before I dyed it, and it was all natural (with plenty of gray in the front).
It did leave my hair quite greasy, even after a shower and condition.
No guarantees this will work for anyone, just giving a try something I heard about.
People said to reapply once a week as a suggestion.
If you do a search on this on the web, you will see there are many told benefits to sesame oil for the hair. Everything from thickening to darkening, to moisturizing dry scalp or dandruff problems away.
I’m not promising to stick with this, but it is interesting to see if it works and to what degree!
First state in the U.S. to finally move forward and ban harmful GMOs?
The Mayor signed Anti-GMO Law.
Heres the link to the story:
“But according to reports, GMOs have now been banned on the Big Island, thanks to the tireless efforts of local activists.”

Beyonce and Jay Z going vegan for 22 days.
They are giving it a try, and so far isn’t too hard.
I guess there’s some controversy going on in the vegan community about this. I’m just glad well-known people are giving it a try, and spreading the vegan ideas. We have to start somewhere right? I was a junkfood junkie until I got sick and learned about other ways to live!

Keep it Fruity
Click on picture above to get to a FREE Preview page of my book,
From junkfood junkie to raw vegan.
In my journey to health, I longed to read stories of people that had gone through the transitions that I was going through. This story will be one like that.
❄ One to read for comfort that you are not alone in this journey to better health.
❄ One that shares a plethora of lessons and tips learned as a beginner raw vegan.
I was curious what detoxing people went through, and wanted to know that what I was going through was “normal”. I hope this does the same for you.
❄❄❄ Blessings on your journey! ❄❄❄
Keep it Fruity 🙂
