I have been into health and fitness for about five years. I was fat as a child due to my parents SAD diet. I lost weight by restricting my calories down to about 1500 a day for a year or so. Eventually I got down to a BMI of about 18 and then just had to stop because I was overwhelmed by hunger. Calorie restriction was one of the worst experiences I ever had and I know that there is no possibility of this being healthy. Anyway, I found it difficult to maintain my low weight (surprise surprise) and eventually spent two more years relatively lean but struggling with calorie restriction on a paleo style diet.
Eventually I found durianrider's channel, and after a month or so of watching videos and reading McDougall, Esselstyn and the China Study, I decided to plunge headfirst into raw till 4. I have experienced some tremendous benefits on this lifestyle: my head seems clearer, my cardio is infinitely better and I feel a general sense of happiness that was missing before. However, I have also experienced about 50 pounds of unwanted weight gain over 7/8 months, pushing my BMI up past 30 (partially because I lift weights). I'm finally trying to sign up because I really need support to continue my vegan journey.
