Hi Guys,

So guess what, everything is going great in my life.

For 1. It’s Spring, and summery weather is here at last and all the good fruit is coming back in season. Fruit in the winter is just pale imitations of fruit in the summer, but you forget that in the winter.

For 2. I have totally relaxed about my diet. I no longer even think about it (whereas for the first 2 years I stressed about eating fruit during the day even if I wasn’t craving it). The videos of High Carb Hannah really helped me recently and now I just aim for vegan whole foods. By now I am so used to having fruit be the staple thought that I just naturally reach for that. I feel fruit makes me feel and look the best but I don’t stress about it if I feel like eating cooked food anymore. I feel I have achieved my weight loss goals and now I can just forget about my diet (of course I’ll always be vegan and always high carb vegan) and just celebrate for the rest of my life.

For 3. I have a new job pole dancing. I would never have been able to get this job if I hadn’t found the secret key to weight loss and youthful looks–a vegan diet based in fresh fruits and vegetables and no calorie restriction.

For 4. I started this new thing called rejection therapy which is where you repeatedly expose yourself to rejection in the form of asking people embarrassing things every day that they will probably reject you for, such as taking a selfie with a stranger, auditioning for a local play, singing the star spangled banner in public, asking to deliver a vegan pizza for a vegan pizza place, etc. This little program developed by Jia Jiang (check out his youtube channel on his 100 days of rejection experiment) helped me so much that I feel like a new person. I feel so much less fear in my life. It inspired me so much that my whole life is better for it.

5. I am very inspired to start my youtube channel and show people how I lost weight on a vegan diet and show people how much veganism has changed my life for the better. Here’s a quick list of the things its done for me

-helped me lose 20-25 pounds never once “dieting” or restricting my calories in any way

-helped me look younger and feel more beautiful

-allowed me to tell people daily about veganism and show people that they have been brainwashed about how animals don’t deserve to live as much as we do

-allowed me to boycott murder and torture–thank god.

-allowed me to never feel guilty about food again

–cured my cramps

–taught me the principles of health

–educated me and inspired me through learning about incredible inspiring animal rights peoples

–allowed me to start a blog and connect with other vegans

–gave me a new appreciation for nature and fruit

-made me look at animals as fascinating intelligent misunderstood beings that we share the earth with instead of cute brainless machines.

I could go on!

Why Aren’t I Losing Weight on Raw Till 4? My Answer.

April 27th, 2015 | fruitarianism, raw till 4

Hello everyone,

I received this question today and thought I would share:

Hello! I have been rawtil4 for a month now. Each week I learn something new. The first week I was eating a lot of fat in coconut oil and avocados, so the next week I changed that. The second week I ate a lot of processed foods like pastas and sauces, so I cut that out. Then the third week I had a lot of tamari sauce, which has tons of sodium, so then I changed that. Now I am in my fourth week, having learned a lot of what not to do, but I still have no idea why I haven’t lost weight. I was wondering if you have any tips for me? I drink 2-3 L of water a day, and this week I am incorporating more veggies, but I was wondering how you achieved success. Thank you oh so much! Carlina :)

Hi Carlina, thank you for writing to me. You are awesome to learn those lessons so quickly. It took me months to years to learn what you learned each week. My first thought for you is…it is going to take some time. You are doing everything perfectly, but it will still take months. The trade off of this lifestyle is that unlike normal diets where you restrict your calories and lose weight quickly….only to gain it back in the future….on this lifestyle you will probably lose weight very slowly but never gain it back, never diet again, and never have to worry about weight gain again. It really takes TIME. There were times when I thought, I’m ONLY eating fruits and vegetables even…..why aren’t I losing weight!?!? It still takes TIME. Even on 100% raw. You need to give it at least a year. I’m not even kidding. Keep doing what you are doing and you will definitely lose weight. I thought I would NEVER lose weight, now I look at my body and i’m like WOW thank god I trusted Freelee the Banana Girl. It took me about 1 year to go down 1 pants size, and another six months to go down two more….but now I eat as much as i want and never think about dieting. It’s worth it.

There’s only one more thing…if you are following Freelee’s guidelines to a T and trying to eat over 2,500-3000 calories a day no matter how hungry you feel, you may run into some problems. I didn’t when I was following that advice, but eventually I just chilled out and ate when I was hungry and stopped counting calories to get enough in. I would recommend checking out the videos of High Carb Hannah on youtube….she gained a lot of weight on raw till 4, but now still eats fruits and starches Raw till 4 style but with a more intuitive eating approach and lost all that weight plus more.

Anyway, congratulations for finding the ANSWER to weight loss– I really believe that. It takes a special person to sort through all the BS out there and give veganism and raw food a go. High Carb Hannah is now leaning more towards The Starch Solution but I still think Raw till 4 is amazing and the more fruit you eat the more beautiful you will look and the more your skin will glow, at least that’s what I’ve found. Please let me know if you have any other questions or I can help in any other way.
