1st Vlog Raw Food Weight Loss 30+ Pounds with Diabetes – before and after
With a raw food diet and occasional green juice fasting (feasting). I am getting rid of type 2 diabetes symptoms, lowing my sugar levels, do not need insulin anymore, and letting my body detox. Documenting improved health, fitness, and weight loss. I have already lost 30 pounds. Going to lose the next 30! Watch me go from fat to thin, learn better nutrition, and throw off the obese/obesity labels and kick this illness in the butt! You can also follow along on my blog: www.bjaysblog.blogspot.com

its so inspiring how you have taken control of your life once and decide to do it again. I’m very interested in raw food. but honestly I have no idea where to start. congratulations! Wen

it’s hard to know where to start. some people do well just adding juice daily, and see how they like it then go for there.
I have more information on my site, but i can’t seem to put the link. but if you look on my profile/channel, in the upper left box there is a link.

Don’t be worried about dropping the pounds quickly, it is FAT and your body doesn’t need it, as you are cleansing yourself of toxins. I’m glad you belong to SPARKPEOPLE (dot) com as I have found it so helpful.

Ya, I LOVE that site. I recommend it to everyone for motivation, support, and tracking.

Great job so far! Why can’t you have fruit?
February 5th, 2009 - 21:41
I have type two diabetes and the fruit makes my sugar levels spike.

that sure is alot of diaformen you take.
I am going raw soon for health reasons.
February 15th, 2009 - 16:44
Diaformen? Is that what they call it down under? Yes, I was taking a lot. I had to stop it when I was pregnant with my son. You wouldn’t believe how much insulin I had to take. Crazy. I got tired of the medications and my blood pressure was insane. I was getting numbers like 250/135! It now runs like 110/70 woohoo.

You look better and sounds like you feel lots better. I’m eating many more raw vegetables lately and bought a juicer. I’ve battled PCOS for years and just started low dose metformin which I hope to not need in a few months of eating better and excercising. Best of luck to you!
June 17th, 2009 - 02:11
Not sure. I was eating plenty of avocados and nuts. I think some of it has to do with heredity – I have a couple bald female relatives. Also the PCOS has some to do with it. I am going to see a dermatologist and see what they say.

thanks for posting:) congrats to you. i’m trying to change my life and appreciate the inspiration.

@bjay100 would you recommend the raw food diet then ?? are there any side affects
?
June 29th, 2010 - 05:15
@aliyoung9 I would recommend it but first make sure to get the go-ahead from your doctor. I have found that greens may not be recommended for certain conditions or with certain medications. Also, I would recommend making sure you are getting plenty of protein, calcium, and omega-3′s. The only side effects I personally had was nausea on my first day of juicing when I did a juice feast. Also, I lost some hair! I think my body had a shock…so I would recommend doing it gradually.
