Is there any problem with switching between all raw, to raw till 4? I have been on this lifestyle for ten months now and have gone back and forth between the two so many times, will this affect my weight loss (i haven't lost any yet)? I here people talk about consistency a lot and wandered if that applied to this? Also my skin is horrible i have so many pimples on my face still, but they seem to clear up a bit more when eating all raw...

Thanx so much for your feed back, I have been doing a few weeks on raw then a few weeks on rawtil4.
I am eating raw at the moment and am thinking ill try and stick with this untill i start seeing weight loss results and i guess if i do go back to cooked food, aim to stick with it along with the regular raw day.
I do think the lack of consistancy has been tough mentally.
I feel my best eating only raw, adding cooked food in the evening (generally) dulls the buzz considerably. Moving toward (and looking forward) to all raw. :)
Awesome explanation! :)
Depends on what you mean. The rawtil4 plan includes one day of fully raw and you could easily make that two or more. I like what others have said about routine and consistency. If you eat one or more raw days every week on the same days it will probably work out as long as you are okay with the foods you eat. If you do a few weeks on raw and then a few weeks on raw til 4 then I think you will run into digestive issues.
12. One day a week should be 100% raw to give your body a cleanse, I suggest the start of your work week or the day before.

In my experience, it can. When I was going on and off all raw I ended up getting colitis like symptoms. I'm pretty sure it is because you completely clean out your insides on all raw and then when you introduce unnatural cooked foods, your insides can get much more irritated. I had to go on raw for a LONG time to clear this up. So, I don't recommend switching between the two. I don't mean to scare anyone, but this was my experience
yea we see auto immune disorders as the body tries to protect itself and has more non usable waste to process and less nutrients to gather from
I think switching back and forth can do harm. Doug Graham said it may be why there's so much teeth issues with raw-fooders....because the body's inflamation goes up and down. When this occurs with the gums(receeding gums) it can trap bacteria.
I go back and forth, but only once every 2-5 months.
you imagine mixing baking soda and vinegar on the teeth. unwise. you'd loose enamel
Routine and mental health (both mentioned by others) would be main concerns. If you can keep a healthy mindset and still be able to feel you are loving yourself enough to choose optimal foods when they are presented to you then I don't see a problem. There are definitely some benefits to eating all raw that you may not experience as much with cooked food such as energy levels in the morning and quicker digestion. I think that being able to eat either one of these is better than what is likely the alternative diet.
As for the pimples that could be the result of a few things. I won't go into them all here now but some examples would be that raw allows faster recovery and thus clearing of skin or something in the cooked food you eat is causing your skin to react. I personally get acne from most nuts raw or cooked.
