Summary for Week 5 on Raw Foods
Wow- this weight loss on raw foods still amazes me
Date: 2/12/2006 3:35:52 PM ( 18 y ) ... viewed 1964 times February 12, 2006 WEEK 5: It's the Weekly Raw Weigh-In Show!
This week my calories never dipped below 1200. My fat intake was higher than I'd planned, but it doesn't seem to matter as far as weight loss goes. I can't tell you what it means to my arteries to eat 62 grams of plant fat, but raw foodists will tell you that it isn't the least bit harmful. I haven't made that doctor's appointment yet, but it's on my agenda to get all my levels checked. I'll report my cholesterol and blood pressure, etc. as soon as I get 'em.
Here is the weekly summary with the weight loss reported below.
NUTRIENTS
Calories.......................1207 to 1321
Fat...............................31 g to 62g
Carbs...........................145g to 205g
Protein.........................23g to 50g
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Iron - Still consistently too low, even with the vitamins I take because they don't provide the RDA. I need to eat more of the foods that have iron, or I'll have to rely on supplements, which I hate to do. Not just because I prefer to get my nutrients from foods, but because iron pills taste like a set of keys.
Sodium- I like salt! Most days my sodium intake is well within the RDA, but on two days at the beginning of the week I was above that. Even with that, however, I've seen a huge improvement in my sodium intake since January 1st 2006. Since high blood pressure is a concern for me and it runs in my family, I have to watch how much sodium I take in.

STARTED WEEK AT: 313
