On 811, you don't become skin and bones like other raw diets. You won't lose weight, my man, unless you have fat to lose. At first, it will probably take some practice to learn to eat enough calories, but once you get that down, you will get to your…

Welcome Alexander! if you match your caloric need you will not loose any fat. However, you WILL loose water weight as your body becomes healthier and less toxic. This is a GOOD thing and something to be proud of. i am much stronger now i am on 811 a…
If you dont want to lose weight, eat enough calories from fruit and do weights to build muscle while you are dropping fat. If you dont, you will probably will look skinnier, and your energy will be too low. You should get 80% minimum of calories fro…
As far as gaining weight, I assume you mean muscle, do low-rep-high-weight weight training. Very little cardio and no endurance training. Get plenty of sleep and calories. Eat huge green salads every night. I once thought I had an addiction to coffe…
I know exactly what you mean in terms of not losing weight, because im in the same exact boat. You will lose weight no matter what, but you have to remember that your body will put it right back on when it needs. You get rid of water weight not fat…
I'd switch to green tea or yerba matte for awhile if you don't want to go cold turkey. These are far better choices. I was addicted for years but I'm totally off caffeine.

- I spend most of my time....
- I've been interested in optimal health since I was a teenager. I tried a raw food diet for a month when I was 16, and I felt great. I'm in nursing school at Sonoma State University. It's been very stressful and my healthy lifestyle habits have been on hold. I'm definitely suffering from less energy and decreased ability to focus. Maybe this 80/10/10 diet will help me feel more energetic and happier. I practice the martial arts of Taiji, Bagua, and Xing-I.

- Best B-Day wishes, Alexander!
Great to meet a fellow martial artist. Is your taiji an internal art or similar to tai chi?

- Thanks for the advice : ) Yeah, I want to stay centered and grounded as much as possible because I know I'm in for a course that will demand 100% commitment. It should be a great experience though. Much respect to you!
Personally, I followed Dr. D's advice when I started 811 almost 4 months ago by slowly incorporating more and more raw food into my diet. Basically, the more raw food I ate, the more likely I was to not eat cooked food simply because I wouldn't be hungry for it. The high fiber and water content as well as nutritional value of these raw foods are great for keeping you feeling full for longer. The trick is to become accustomed to the volume of food that is needed and this just takes some time. I'm still new to this whole process myself.
My mom and step dad live over in the Berkely area in Cali...right next door to you. I was down there for the first time a few weeks ago. It was awesome! San Fran was gorgeous. Wonderful area for sure : )

If I flew to Qld, how would I get there? Thanks for the info clint!
Talk to the raw house people, they have posts on here and maybe a group if you search.
Lol! Great story, great ending!
I can't think of which MC Hammer song that's from???
ya thats why we decided florida, more economical, plus we have family there
Lynda, don't deprive yourself by limiting yourself to no more than 3 dates a day. I used to eat no more than 2 a day because I was worried about all that sugar and calories but I one day last year I ate 120 medjool dates in one day. (3 smoothies wit…
i pushed back dinner too long tonight and then somebody on facebook talked about his falafels and had pics.. I went running for my oranges at that point...
After 6 months of 811, I ate vegan cooked food again for 2-3 months. Definitely lost my 6-pack and got some moobs. There's still some excess fat below my pectoral muscles, which is quite agitating. ha. I know it will leave in time.
And I've heard than for women, strengthening your pecs gives you more firmness and lift in your actual breasts, kind of like how bodybuilders strengthen their brachialis to make the biceps brachii "pop."
I wonder if some of it has to do with HGH levels via exercise, and that maybe affecting estrogen/testosterone balance? Just an unresearched hypothesis.
Same here, at least 100 khadrawys if I'm mono-ing on dates. Today I had 12 oranges for breakfast, and then probably 30-40 dates (which are small than medjool). (no dinner - somehow wasn't hungry even after a huge training day yesterday)
Epic win.
nice. lol.
Thanks! I just read the book, that's what reminded me (great book).
I will be anxiously awaiting your 811 trial log. Good luck.
