I first went vegan over 10 years ago.. then 100% raw and I even ate fruit only for a while there.. detox is REAL. We need to build up from a strong foundation. I had to get rid of the overwhelming toxins from my youth. Fruit and fasting is very powerful. Now I eat a balanced diet of natural fruits n veggies! If anyone is starting out just hang in there! You got this!! 👍
Swiss Lady Driver hundreds of thousands of toxins. Everything from heavy metals, environmental pollutants, and inside the house.. all of us are taking in loads of toxins daily
I'm asking because even who don't eat high Quality Foods and live in all sorts of dwellings do not have toxic or pathologic Levels of various heavy metals or environmental pollutants in their bodies. The human Body is very efficient at metabolizing or Clearing various potentially harmful or poisonous substances as well as reparing damage on the genetic and cellular level. So, did you ever receive a diagnosis of lead poisoning or asbestosis or something like that or are you simply assuming that you were "toxic"?
I am 80% raw vegan from last two months my detox symptoms were horrible acne, loosing weight and pop 3 times a day for some days but after 21 days my symptoms improved and my acne started to heal and now I am much happier than ever before and my skin and hair are doing great...thanks Kristina
@@l.n.9462 I am an Indian so there are a lot of locals fruits nd veggies available in the market...in the morning I eat wholefruits or juices nd also smoothies of dry fruits...nd in lunch I eat salad of veggies nd some typical indian food like chappties rice nd veggies and in the evening I drink only juice..that's it..I don't eat anything after 7 o clock strictly..
Question! How do you keep your teeth so white? I believe previously you said you brushed your teeth with coconut oil and a drop of essential oil but is there anything else you do?
So many people experience detox symptoms when starting on a clean diet and they stop because they feel it isn’t working for them. Push through!!! That’s where the healing happens 🙏🏼✨💖
Debraval Reyes ? If you’re talking about eating fat then yes. I’m not an advocate for raw veganism in the long term, but as part of a detox or healing protocol it’s undoubtedly effective.
Hehe..so my friend bought this face cream, masks and cleansing products (all in all 300 dollars) from some shady cosmetologist. She used it for two days and developed red rash on her cheeks and forehead. She called that cosmetologist and the answer she got: 'Its a detoxing reaction. Some toxins accumulated in your skin and underlying tissue are clearing out'. Another three days and some very painful sores later turned out that detox reaction was a chemical burn.
Mucus mucus mucus, very dry hands, headaches :-) But, it didn't (doesn't) feel so bad, as somehow you feel the nasty stuff is moving out, rather than being stuck there. At the same time, emotions got balanced and energy levels were higher than ever. Embrace the cleanse!
I went vegan for 10 and then last year I went fully raw vegan and I would never go back. My best decision ever. I do get headaches as part of the detox but I feel amazing. I was pretty sick before I went vegan and fully raw. Try it you will never regret it.
I had horrific rashes for months after going Vegan, about 6 months if I remember correctly. I was 55 at the time I went Vegan. So, I had a lot to clear out. However, I felt better and better every day.
I had flu like symptoms for 1 day. I'm fatigued. And my blood pressure is low. Going to drink liquorice root tea to stabilize my blood pressure. I'm going full force on this detox. Eating grapefruit. Ran out, now I'm eating oranges. Taking herbs. Essential oils. I'm so happy. Kind and loving.
I'm really surprised she didn't talk about gas. Gas and bloating are really common in the beginning, since many people don't have the enzymes in their digestive tract to digest so many fruits and veggies at one time. It takes a little while to build them up, but after you do, you tend to feel so much better.
Yeah. So on my first raw day I ate 3 oranges for breakfast and it made me really sick. I thought I got food poisoning, which I guess is still possible. On my 4th raw day I had a tummy ache like some cramping after having a huge smoothie . Besides that I’ve been feeling great. I definetly think a lack of enzymes could be playing a role here and I think it will clear up soon! I’m following Kristina’s book mostly but with a couple changes and a couple cooked things here and there and it’s been great so far!
Watching this video I remember the strong headaches at the beginning and how sick I felt. Now I can say I'm a baby vegetarian 2 months today! Best thing I've ever done.
Its interesting to think that body feels ready to cleanse itself only when we feed it with vegetables/fruits. Its almost like "finally you're giving me what I need to do my thing!"
I'm three months in and feeling great. Noticing a recent wave of hunger that seems very high volume, did you encounter this? Where are you in your raw journey now?
People usually welcome the cleansing symptoms because it is the proof that it works for them. And when the cleansing is over you feel sooo good. That is happening few times with less and less symptoms and than it is gone. It is important process. It is for your own good.
You are such a beautiful soul. I can see your passion is still alive after 13 years and imagining you as a young sick girl compared to you now shows how much of a woman you've become and you inspire me on my own journey of getting my body as clean as I can thank you for sharing with me.
Kristina. You are amazing!!! And although I struggle regularly with maintaining a daily healthy lifestyle, your videos have helped me tremendously in making better decisions every single day. It bothers me how negatively some people react to you. I don't know how you can read some of these awful comments. But I am here to say to you...THANK YOU for all of your knowledge and sharing so "rawfully" your own story. I am becoming more and more disciplined and I feel so much better. The best is that I reversed my Type 2 Diabetes. I owe much of it to you. Thank you
I felt great at first as a vegan then the detox symptoms came a few weeks in. I got flu like symptoms, acne, bloating, emotional upset, low energy. But it’s getting BETTER! Now I have more energy that I have had in YEARS. I used to not be able to get through a day without a nap. Now I’m like what is a nap? I don’t need those lol. Also I wake up way earlier than before and I feel energized and happy. My skin is clearing up, my hormones are getting balanced (I used to have really bad periods where I would pass out) it healed my depression and so much more. I’m only about 6 months in and my life has changed. I embrace the detox now because it means in just a little while you will FEEL THE BEST YOU EVER HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!! Just be patient and be kind to yourself :)
Iam so happy you wrote this,I have turned vegan,specifically plant based recently, iam three weeks in.I got skin beak outs, rashes and emotional swings which entwine frustration...I needed to know that this is normal..
sahar aldalou yes it’s frustrating but normal! I had to realize when we treat our bodies so bad for many years and start to give it what it needs it really goes to work to get those toxins out, but once they’re out you feel amazing. Keep it up!
About36GREEKS yeah, I’m still going through it too. Its a crazy thing, but I’m glad God created our bodies to be able to heal if we give it the right things. Keep going! 😊
This video is so on time! I am pretty sick and am at the point that I have to do something to turn this around. I have most of the symptoms sans the Diabetes that you mentioned in the video. Ironically I started juicing this weekend and eating more fruits/veg than I think I ever have in life. The inflammation in my body is off the hook and got worse when I started the juicing and fruit. Naturally I didn't understand why I am experiencing more inflammation now and was about to stop my new regimen when I saw you posted a new video on detox symptoms! Your words are encouraging to keep going and ride out the symptoms. Hopefully by this time next week my body will have adjusted or I will tweak the fruit and veg I'm consuming because I may have an allergy I wasn't aware of. Thanks again!
This channel is fantastic. Really thank you. There is nothing quite like it. For the first time in my life I woke up early naturally and didn't feel tired or in a bad mood or want to nap at all during the day. There is so much less processing your body has to do and free energy to actually feel good. And then the fact that it takes less time to prepare meals makes it even more achievable.
So happy to see you speaking at conferences and sharing your experiences on a broader scale. Went raw this passed summer, very enjoyable but I'm craving soups and stews as we move toward the winter. I'm hoping to remain at least 80% through the fall and winter.
Hi Kristina, QUESTION !?!? 1. How did you start from day 1 when John Rose helped you? 2. What did you eat a whole day for a month. 3. What was ur menu plan? Did you really eat only peachers for 14days. I'm finding it hard to eat only raw veggies only. Plus its winter all i want to eat is hot food and all the wrong foods. Your videos keep popping up and i love it bcos it keeps reminding me to only eat veggies. Thank you so much for all your videos. 💜
This is my favorite video of you, I can see your fully raw soul in your speech and body language. I’ve watched you since 2013 and you’re an amazing inspiration to me and so many people! I would love to see more videos like this where you speak a bit more real, it made me cry because I feel the same way about this lifestyle and I love you sharing your beginning stages and would love to hear more about how it helped you evolve your health and spirituality. 💖
Thank you!! I havent gone completely vegan, but I started incorporating vegan dishes. I am amazed at how energized and yes. ..detox symptoms are light but I am feeling really good ❤. I think I was getting too much sodium from meat. While its organic, the elimination of eating so much...I feel amazing. Thank you for sharing❤
I've gone fully raw for over 30 ays before and it's literally the best I've ever felt.. but then I fall off the wagon. I'm vegan but I'm a junk food vegan. I'm addicted to pasta and bread and it's just bad. How do you get away from that temporary "pasta is soooo good." Feeling and stay fully raw? Ugh
Cara Brotman has a Sweet Potato Pasta Recipe. looks like a salad though but probably more carbs than the zucchini. Markus says 2 cups and you will be full for half a day it is 5 star restaurant style.
I started with the keto diet and eating the bacon helped me let go of carbs and sugar. Then after a while I let go of the meat. Now i'm ready to let go of the dairy. Its a natural progression. Also the keto makes it less likely you will quit and go back to carbs and sugar.
Kristina!!! It was great!!!!!! You are amazing. Greetings from Poland ;* ;* ;* ;* !!!!!!!! I only drink juices from grapes and celery and there is power !!!!!!!
Vegetarian hasnt helped me with my medical issues. I have lupus and its geeting bad. So ive been wantomg to go raw vegan for awhile now..ive always loved your codeos and incorporated your recipes in my life but going raw might help. Im so inspired by your life and your journey to being healthy. Ive been a fan for 4yrs now. I love and look forward to ypur videos. ❤😊
I was afraid of losing weight as I was already underweight, but after learning about it I decided it was worth the risk. The energy alone is worth everything, even though I did lose a little more weight, I feel so much more healthy that it's worth it. Doctors tell me I need to eat more, but that's not in my budget to eat more of what makes me feel good, and I don't think eating foods that drain my energy and cause me so much pain are worth being what other people consider a healthy weight. I feel weird winging it with my health, but listening to my body and energy levels was the best choice I ever made, so I'm trusting that. My boyfriend thinks I'm anorexic, but I eat only what feels good, and I eat as much as I can. I just don't wanna suffer for what society expects me to be. Anyone know ways to gain on this diet on an extreme budget? I watched her video on it, I wish I could do those things but I can't right now.
Abi G do healthy grains make you feel sick? Like quinoa and brown rice? If not, maybe try to incorporate them to up your calories until you have more money to buy all raw foods. Hope everything works out for you ❤️
I am.answering this very late but thought anyone else reading it might need the info. Bananas and Avacado are good for gaining weight. For anyone with a latex allergy do not eat too many Avacados though, it can cause a reaction.
I was a raw vegan for a solid 8 months. after being vegan for 6 years. I felt good, skin was so good and never looked better BUT my IBD did not improve I was going to the bathroom more than 10 times a day and couldn't handle the high fibre, roughage and water retention. I want to go back but its such a challenge and the produce where i live is not good at all. I even gave up my job to stay home and try it (couldn't even travel) still vegan but cooked half raw, no grains. food like kelp noodles are the strongest laxatives for me
Jahnes love Kristina. Thanks for sharing your experience when you first became fullyraw vegan. I have been on the path since 2007 and before that I was a vegan for many years. I have gone through the phases of being vegetarian, beegan, vegan and fullyrawvegan. But being homeless has been hard. And my body was in shock from not having my raw vegan soups and juices. I am planning to return to NYC so I can get back to making rawvegan soups in my Vitamix or Kuvengs. And, I like to detox. I am using this raw vegan detox mix that is made with organic spirulina, wheat grass, chlorella and my bowel movements are better. The detox is helping to alkaline my system. And I feel much better. Blessed love.
I want to be healthier. I want to quite soda, dairy, and sugar. You have definitely inspired me. I will be trying a fruit of choice and that will be peaches. What I would like to know is if you ate peaches for breakfast lunch and dinner and if they were only organic. Please let me know. I want to start feeling better. Mental fogginess, constipation, and tiredness all affect me. I want to jump right in.
wow, it was John Rose you met? That's amazing! I knew that you met someone but didn't know who it was. Yep, detox takes time. So important to stick with it though, totally worth it!
Great video ! FeelingMotivated again!!! 🍓🌽🥑🍎🍇🍉🍍🍌🍋 I am one if those people what get the back headache's & flue like symptoms 😓 . I have been on and off . I haven't stuck with it yet . Not giving up .
Thank you! I’ve been scared to try again and fearing what could come up, not knowing how to deal and heal from whatever arises. Past of gallbladder removal, appendix removal, kidney stones, so how to heal my body?! It’s been a struggle to find the right lifestyle for me. But I 100% agree food is medicine, I will attempt again and hopes to learn and evaluate better. 🙏😘💝
I was a vegetarian for years. It was a very negative experience for me. I'm currently on a high protein, whole foods diet. I can not do a high carb diet, or a diet dependent on plant protein (especially soy). I can relate to the detox though. When I detoxed from carbs it was wicked, but now I feel amazing. However I find these videos invaluable and I love my green smoothies. :-)
@@CalmVibesVee Far fewer. I started a low GI diet. A small amount of lean animal protein fills me up far better than whole grains and legumes. I eat far more green vegetables too because of it.
Long story short I’m vegan now but once I get a job I want to become highly raw vegan and that means buying more fruits and vegetables (obvi). I was curious if you could make a video on budgeting? And don’t be scared to let us know how much it cost because it’s honestly so much more worth spending money on yummy healthy fruits and veggies than nights in the hospital or unnecessary medications. I truly want to be smart about what I’m buying as a soon to be raw vegan and I want to be able to buy things knowing I’m not paying too much or too little. I do realize that I should definitely experiment on my own and create a budget that works for me but maybe you could make a video on helpful tips? Love your peaceful videos so much! Have a beautiful day!🧡
I think your budget can be very different depending on where you live and what kind of products you buy. For example, when I go to my hometown, it costs me 20 dollars a day but now it costs me 20 dollars a week in the countryside. The reason why I save more money is because I choose to buy the cheapest vegetables in season that I see in markets (beets, zucchinis, salads, ...) but in big quantities and I make juices with it. And since I live in France, vegetables are much more affordable and better quality than fruits. So I don't buy a lot of fruits. The vegetables are cheap, but they are not cheap in terms of nutritional value ;) I think if you want to save money, you should be smart with your choices !
Save money and eat loads of bananas. Cheap and delicious. Eat on its own or with freshly grounded peanut butter and of course lots of frozen banana nice cream. My husband and I were on a very tight budget and he lost 100lbs in 3 months of just eating bananas. Once you have extra money, incorporate other fruit meals or salads you enjoy. We both now eat 2 large meals a day which costs about 8$ per day. Look for sales on produce and stock up, freeze. Shop at bulk stores such as Costco or SAMs club. You can make being raw as cheap as you want. Don't let money stop you. If you pick apart how much money you spend a week on things (eating out, coffee, activities, snacks, shopping and regular meals in general) I'm sure you'll find unnecessary spending or ways to cut back. Health is wealth!! Good luck on your journey!:)
Original reply to this comment is bad advice. If you go raw vegan your predominant source of calories should be fruit.. like Gina said, bananas are very cheap and calorie dense. I would eat at least 10 bananas a day or more. Dates are also great for calories, and melons when theyre in season. Stay away from too many nuts and seeds/ avocados. If you want all the detox benefits you have to stay low fat.
My only worry with fruit is the sugar esp after having just been a cancer patient with an aggressive cancer. Whilst I was under investigation for the disease my diet changed drastically for around a month n half /2 only eating veg and the odd berries. But things still progressed and quite quickly. I'm not saying it was the cause ofcourse not but I'm not sure it did anything in the way of helping either. Unless your able to tolerate all that sugar (difficult with parasitic and candida issues) this diet can be a little challenging.
I want to know if you make any special preparations for traveling abroad. I adopted a vegan diet in January. In July I travelled within the U.S. . I took dried fruit, nuts and other snacks with me until I was able to get to the grocery store. I am making my first international trip since becoming vegan in November. I will have a kitchen. I was wondering if I should take certain staples with me for a day or two until I find out about local markets.
Hi Kristina, My girlfriend Has crohns disease, and a severe rectal prolapse after a hemorrhoid operation one year ago. She also suffers from severe anxiety and ptsd.(just finnished a 2 year divorse where she was robbed and bled by the court system) She smokes, drinks coffee, and eats a lot of junk. She also takes anti depressants, pain killers, and vallium. I've pretty much walked away, after the surgeon just told her (literally 1hr ago) that she will have to wait up to 3 months for the operation, and there is a chance it will grow back. I havent helped her situation by drilling her about her habits, and the universe is telling me to walk away but she is an awesome person. Not sure if you can help? Maybe she will listen to someone with your experience. kind regards phill
Hi Christina , thank you for sharing , love your video's . Eating is fully raw is a challenge . I have done the vegan lifestyle before and I stopped. Anyway I really understand your perception and non meat eating concept . I love the raw eating because I get to focus on eating more veggies and fruit. I do it because of how it makes me feel . I have never been sick so eating fresh raw veggies is for my health and well being.

What "toxins" did you have in your body?
The standard American diet made my body extremely toxic. Growing up on fast food and meat/dairy = toxic city lol
So, there wasn't any specific toxin, is that what you're saying?
Swiss Lady Driver hundreds of thousands of toxins. Everything from heavy metals, environmental pollutants, and inside the house.. all of us are taking in loads of toxins daily

Beautiful story. I agree taking meat and dairy out of our diet is amazing and make you feel better immediately
Raw vegan food elevates you. You're increasing bio-photon intake many many times than what you were eating before. Increases cellular vibrancy.
Hi Kristina, QUESTION !?!?
1. How did you start from day 1 when John Rose helped you?
2. What did you eat a whole day for a month.
3. What was ur menu plan?
Did you really eat only peachers for 14days.

Great! Your in the right place. Good to see young people getting into the lifestyle.
Keep up the good work 🗽
Look at her aging since she went vegan.
That's awesome! I went vegan when I was 16. It can be tough if you don't have supportive family but it will get better. ❤️
You inspire me to be healthier... I’m so happy that I found your channel
The amount of tweaks I’ve made over ten years of raw is crazy! It’s never ending, Health is a journey and worth every second! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s a truly real insight to know how the foods we eat are literally us and making us feel I’ll and unwell. Most people wouldn’t even know this.
"plopping yourself down"?????? you could never! you are so gracious and perfect and awesome
I was tryna find some sort of clarity and your words of encouragement helped me start this new journey & have a better consciousness thank you 😍😇🙏🏾
You encouraged me so much, that now i am healthier , because of you ..as the song said, love you ♥
This is my favorite video of you, I can see your fully raw soul in your speech and body language. I’ve watched you since 2013 and you’re an amazing inspiration to me and so many people! I would love to see more videos like this where you speak a bit more real, it made me cry because I feel the same way about this lifestyle and I love you sharing your beginning stages and would love to hear more about how it helped you evolve your health and spirituality. 💖
Thank you, Christina! You are an amazing soul! Many greetings from Greece!
Thank you!! I havent gone completely vegan, but I started incorporating vegan dishes. I am amazed at how energized and yes. ..detox symptoms are light but I am feeling really good ❤. I think I was getting too much sodium from meat. While its organic, the elimination of eating so much...I feel amazing.
Thank you for sharing❤
Agree 100% that everyone should do at least 1 raw vegan meal a day
Your stomach bugs would slap you up side your head
Lol
I've gone fully raw for over 30 ays before and it's literally the best I've ever felt.. but then I fall off the wagon. I'm vegan but I'm a junk food vegan. I'm addicted to pasta and bread and it's just bad. How do you get away from that temporary "pasta is soooo good." Feeling and stay fully raw? Ugh
Stephanie Dawson substitute pasta with zucchini noodles🥒
I love veggie noodles but they just aren't the same! Struggle. Lol
I would say you probably need more of those carbs that your getting from pasta and bread.
I don't want to know how you sell.
Cara Brotman has a Sweet Potato Pasta Recipe. looks like a salad though but probably more carbs than the zucchini. Markus says 2 cups and you will be full for half a day it is 5 star restaurant style.
I started with the keto diet and eating the bacon helped me let go of carbs and sugar. Then after a while I let go of the meat. Now i'm ready to let go of the dairy. Its a natural progression. Also the keto makes it less likely you will quit and go back to carbs and sugar.
This is definitely a safer way to go vegan. Thanks for sharing!❤
just don't get rid of fruit even though keto is reducing fruit. I think it's a mistake.
Kristina!!! It was great!!!!!! You are amazing. Greetings from Poland ;* ;* ;* ;* !!!!!!!! I only drink juices from grapes and celery and there is power !!!!!!!
This video inspired me for a seven day challenge! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Thankyou Kristina for your help. You are amaizing
Love you dear Kristina...watched you from the beginning!!! Blessings on your travels, thank you for all you are and do! :)
You angel. You took care of your entire family. You are beautiful. Keep doing well.
Thanks, great to hear about your travels and experience🌱💚🍓
Loved that Hot Pockets commercial before the video!
Vegetarian hasnt helped me with my medical issues. I have lupus and its geeting bad. So ive been wantomg to go raw vegan for awhile now..ive always loved your codeos and incorporated your recipes in my life but going raw might help. Im so inspired by your life and your journey to being healthy. Ive been a fan for 4yrs now. I love and look forward to ypur videos. ❤😊
Check out Brooke Goldner MD protocol for reversing lupus
I was afraid of losing weight as I was already underweight, but after learning about it I decided it was worth the risk. The energy alone is worth everything, even though I did lose a little more weight, I feel so much more healthy that it's worth it. Doctors tell me I need to eat more, but that's not in my budget to eat more of what makes me feel good, and I don't think eating foods that drain my energy and cause me so much pain are worth being what other people consider a healthy weight. I feel weird winging it with my health, but listening to my body and energy levels was the best choice I ever made, so I'm trusting that. My boyfriend thinks I'm anorexic, but I eat only what feels good, and I eat as much as I can. I just don't wanna suffer for what society expects me to be. Anyone know ways to gain on this diet on an extreme budget? I watched her video on it, I wish I could do those things but I can't right now.
Abi G do healthy grains make you feel sick? Like quinoa and brown rice? If not, maybe try to incorporate them to up your calories until you have more money to buy all raw foods. Hope everything works out for you ❤️
@@jollyrancher0531 They arent as bad as some other foods but not sure if it's worth it, because they do hurt a bit. Thank you
Abi G I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you find a good solution soon ❤️
I am.answering this very late but thought anyone else reading it might need the info. Bananas and Avacado are good for gaining weight. For anyone with a latex allergy do not eat too many Avacados though, it can cause a reaction.
This is the best video, thank you. I would love to try going raw vegan, I am sure it will help the inflammation in my body.
I was a raw vegan for a solid 8 months. after being vegan for 6 years. I felt good, skin was so good and never looked better BUT my IBD did not improve I was going to the bathroom more than 10 times a day and couldn't handle the high fibre, roughage and water retention.
I want to go back but its such a challenge and the produce where i live is not good at all.
I even gave up my job to stay home and try it (couldn't even travel) still vegan but cooked half raw, no grains. food like kelp noodles are the strongest laxatives for me
Kristina, you are such a pure spirit. I love you. Thank you for everything. 🍑🍊🍐🍎🍏🍋🥑🥝🍍🍑🍅🌽🥕🥒🥜🍉
Just had a thought….we are like human juicers…eat and absorb nutrients and expel pulp (poop waste)!
You’re so beautiful Kristina and such an inspiration to many. ♥️
Another person who never looked what she looked like 5 years ago.
She looks 45. She is actually 31. She looks horrible.
@@gwynedd1 Right lol. Someone not kissing ass
Happy u posted
dear Kristina, you are always shining....love to watch your videos.💟👍
Thank you Kristina, this has been most helpful.
thanks Kristina.....third day raw and detoxing.....
This is such an amazing video! Thank you for this & your encouragement! ✨💞
Wow awesome! So glad you did this video. Thanks for all your great content
The headaches have started but I will stick with it.
Do you sleep better now Kristina? I know getting good quality sleep and staying up late was your weakness a few years ago
Jahnes love Kristina. Thanks for sharing your experience when you first became fullyraw vegan. I have been on the path since 2007 and before that I was a vegan for many years. I have gone through the phases of being vegetarian, beegan, vegan and fullyrawvegan. But being homeless has been hard. And my body was in shock from not having my raw vegan soups and juices. I am planning to return to NYC so I can get back to making rawvegan soups in my Vitamix or Kuvengs. And, I like to detox. I am using this raw vegan detox mix that is made with organic spirulina, wheat grass, chlorella and my bowel movements are better. The detox is helping to alkaline my system. And I feel much better. Blessed love.
Inspirational!! God has a true purpose for your life to help others-He has truly gifted you
You inspire us Kristina. I LOVE THE VIDEO.🍍🍅🌽🍊🍌🍆🍒🍓🍉🌺💯 All the unconditional love from Uganda.
I want to be healthier. I want to quite soda, dairy, and sugar. You have definitely inspired me. I will be trying a fruit of choice and that will be peaches. What I would like to know is if you ate peaches for breakfast lunch and dinner and if they were only organic. Please let me know. I want to start feeling better. Mental fogginess, constipation, and tiredness all affect me. I want to jump right in.
I do intermittent fasting ( 1 meal a day usually )
wow, it was John Rose you met? That's amazing! I knew that you met someone but didn't know who it was.
Yep, detox takes time.
So important to stick with it though, totally worth it!
Great video !
FeelingMotivated again!!! 🍓🌽🥑🍎🍇🍉🍍🍌🍋
I am one if those people what get the back headache's & flue like symptoms 😓 . I have been on and off . I haven't stuck with it yet . Not giving up .
Thank you! I’ve been scared to try again and fearing what could come up, not knowing how to deal and heal from whatever arises. Past of gallbladder removal, appendix removal, kidney stones, so how to heal my body?! It’s been a struggle to find the right lifestyle for me. But I 100% agree food is medicine, I will attempt again and hopes to learn and evaluate better. 🙏😘💝
The stairs tell me everything I need to know. When im raw I have no arthritis.
Hey baby girl!! Keep up the good work and information.
So beautiful! Namaste 🙏. The power of a vegan diet.
I want to be raw vegan too. 😢😢😢
You're awesome as always. Thanks!
I’m Costarican and I didn’t get to see you! Hope you enjoyed yourself here. Btw I’m joining the challenge
Love this video! How can I detox before starting this lifestyle?
more epicness to come
haha, you are so funny!
Keep rawking, lovely Kristina
I was a vegetarian for years. It was a very negative experience for me. I'm currently on a high protein, whole foods diet. I can not do a high carb diet, or a diet dependent on plant protein (especially soy). I can relate to the detox though. When I detoxed from carbs it was wicked, but now I feel amazing. However I find these videos invaluable and I love my green smoothies. :-)
How many carbs are you doing now?
@@CalmVibesVee Far fewer. I started a low GI diet. A small amount of lean animal protein fills me up far better than whole grains and legumes. I eat far more green vegetables too because of it.
Thank you for sharing, you helped me a lot!
I’m on my 3rd day fully raw and I keep having sharp pains in my head. But I will persevere
Really appreciate this information. I'm not vegan at all but your videos are an inspiration and I'm really considering it. I'm definitely watching.
How long before the detox reactions set in. I'm having nasty heart palpitations, and not sure if its detox reaction - I'm on day three.
Did you recover from your detox?
Long story short I’m vegan now but once I get a job I want to become highly raw vegan and that means buying more fruits and vegetables (obvi). I was curious if you could make a video on budgeting? And don’t be scared to let us know how much it cost because it’s honestly so much more worth spending money on yummy healthy fruits and veggies than nights in the hospital or unnecessary medications. I truly want to be smart about what I’m buying as a soon to be raw vegan and I want to be able to buy things knowing I’m not paying too much or too little. I do realize that I should definitely experiment on my own and create a budget that works for me but maybe you could make a video on helpful tips? Love your peaceful videos so much! Have a beautiful day!🧡
I think your budget can be very different depending on where you live and what kind of products you buy. For example, when I go to my hometown, it costs me 20 dollars a day but now it costs me 20 dollars a week in the countryside. The reason why I save more money is because I choose to buy the cheapest vegetables in season that I see in markets (beets, zucchinis, salads, ...) but in big quantities and I make juices with it. And since I live in France, vegetables are much more affordable and better quality than fruits. So I don't buy a lot of fruits. The vegetables are cheap, but they are not cheap in terms of nutritional value ;) I think if you want to save money, you should be smart with your choices !
Save money and eat loads of bananas. Cheap and delicious. Eat on its own or with freshly grounded peanut butter and of course lots of frozen banana nice cream. My husband and I were on a very tight budget and he lost 100lbs in 3 months of just eating bananas. Once you have extra money, incorporate other fruit meals or salads you enjoy. We both now eat 2 large meals a day which costs about 8$ per day. Look for sales on produce and stock up, freeze. Shop at bulk stores such as Costco or SAMs club. You can make being raw as cheap as you want. Don't let money stop you. If you pick apart how much money you spend a week on things (eating out, coffee, activities, snacks, shopping and regular meals in general) I'm sure you'll find unnecessary spending or ways to cut back. Health is wealth!! Good luck on your journey!:)
Gina m Good advice girl!
Original reply to this comment is bad advice. If you go raw vegan your predominant source of calories should be fruit.. like Gina said, bananas are very cheap and calorie dense. I would eat at least 10 bananas a day or more. Dates are also great for calories, and melons when theyre in season. Stay away from too many nuts and seeds/ avocados. If you want all the detox benefits you have to stay low fat.
Pumpped Yes I agree, I was saying good advice to Gina not the first reply. :)
I would love to hear more about your eyes changing color while going FullyRaw 🤗
Myra Correa she has a video On it search her videos
Hey Christina! Were you taking any meds for type2 diabetes if so did you continue to take them while you detoxed?
Love you Kristina thanks for the inspiration..
How many peaches did you eat a day for those 14 days?
Lorena Cruz q
Much much love goes out to you❣
My only worry with fruit is the sugar esp after having just been a cancer patient with an aggressive cancer. Whilst I was under investigation for the disease my diet changed drastically for around a month n half /2 only eating veg and the odd berries. But things still progressed and quite quickly. I'm not saying it was the cause ofcourse not but I'm not sure it did anything in the way of helping either. Unless your able to tolerate all that sugar (difficult with parasitic and candida issues) this diet can be a little challenging.
Radiant as always! :)
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you 😊 for the inspiration
I want to know if you make any special preparations for traveling abroad. I adopted a vegan diet in January. In July I travelled within the U.S. . I took dried fruit, nuts and other snacks with me until I was able to get to the grocery store. I am making my first international trip since becoming vegan in November. I will have a kitchen. I was wondering if I should take certain staples with me for a day or two until I find out about local markets.
Tell us why it is more difficult to digest raw vegetables and how we would go about doing that in comparison to cooked or steamed vegetables?
Hi Kristina, My girlfriend Has crohns disease, and a severe rectal prolapse after a hemorrhoid operation one year ago. She also suffers from severe anxiety and ptsd.(just finnished a 2 year divorse where she was robbed and bled by the court system) She smokes, drinks coffee, and eats a lot of junk. She also takes anti depressants, pain killers, and vallium. I've pretty much walked away, after the surgeon just told her (literally 1hr ago) that she will have to wait up to 3 months for the operation, and there is a chance it will grow back. I havent helped her situation by drilling her about her habits, and the universe is telling me to walk away but she is an awesome person. Not sure if you can help? Maybe she will listen to someone with your experience. kind regards phill
Hi Christina , thank you for sharing , love your video's . Eating is fully raw is a challenge . I have done the vegan lifestyle before and I stopped. Anyway I really understand your perception and non meat eating concept . I love the raw eating because I get to focus on eating more veggies and fruit. I do it because of how it makes me feel . I have never been sick so eating fresh raw veggies is for my health and well being.
I would Like to know everything about fasting, please?
