Bigbwii Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) The VBF 30 Day Raw Food Challenge is here!!! Starting When: 1st of July. Where: Right here...in your VBF blog/training journal! The VBF 30 Day Raw Food Challenge Don't believe cook is adictive and wanna see what all the fuss is about? Always wanted to give raw foods a try? Want to go raw but need more support? Need to give you body a good clean out? Need to increase your raw intake? Well c'mon, now's your chance.... The VBF 30 Day Raw Food Challenge Purpose: stay raw for 30 days and use this challenge as a tool to achieve your personal raw lifestyle goals! Going raw for 30 days is really a drop in the ocean as far as actually living the "raw lifestyle" and is not an accurate indication of how it's going to be forever, infact you can bet your bottom dollar that you will go through many changes if you stick at it, going raw is a slow process, so relax and enjoy it, there's no rush, experiment on new raw produce, eat your favourite fruits and have fun with the whole thing. Research material and things you may experience: I recommend you research fully before jumping into this challenge, go here for info on detox and a range of other things that will help you understand and find your way. If you don't understand anything to do with the raw lifestyle/detox go here, chances are it's there. http://z12.invisionfree.com/FLF/index.php?showtopic=1857 Your Personal Goals: During the 30 days you make up your own personal goals and use this challenge as a tool to achieve them, for example if you want to lose wieght then go for it (photo's are optional), if you want to incorporate the diet and fitness thing and record progress then that's great too,or you may just want to experience the raw thing for as long as you can, it's all down to you, just make sure you state your goals in your log/blog. Who's in??? Further Details on Coming Soon!!!!! Edited June 6, 2007 by Bigbwii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey dude I think I will give this a go for sure. What good timing too, i've been increasing my raw food intake for a while. I'm eating almost all fruits and very little cooked food as it is. I'm excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've been working on it for a while. Not 100% yet but I'm progressing towards it. July seems far away! By that time the peaches should be pretty ripe and available. Workin' out and chowing down on peaches, sounds so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameska Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 damn straight it is addictive! I'm in all the way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvp663 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I may have to give it a go. I've read through your site and felt compelled by the whole raw food thing. Great challenges on the forum too, I've been trying to complete them as they are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Make sure you all research because if it gets tough for you your going to need your wits about you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think I might do this, it'll be good to do it with a bunch of other people. But I will also drink tap water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameska Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I just finished writing a 12 page research paper on raw foods today! But none of it's about detox, so it won't help for that if any of you want to read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashnburn Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 BigB. I'll probably want to get on this one. I might be driving up to Dallas before this starts. You think we could meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belleadonna Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I would really like to try this but I know that I won't make it. I am really struggling right now. I eat raw for a day or two and then back to my addiction. I can't make any promises because I have disappointed myself so many times. The spirit is willing but the flesh is oh so weak. I eat when I am not hungry and I eat the wrong stuff. HELP!![/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give up....use this as a tool to push yourself to a new level, so you can finally start describing your efforts as a success instead of a dissappointment.....that's what makes it a challenge....it's your call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belleadonna Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I won't give up but I need to take a different approach. Part of the problem is that my husband is BIG into the SAD diet and there is so much tempting food around. It makes it twice as hard and the fact that my will needs to be bolstered. I am not tempted by the meats and desserts but I am a rice junkie.) I don't eat alot of junk foods but I really want to do all raw. So, I guess that if I want it that much, I will just do it and stop whining . I just bought a couple of books on raw foodism and I will read them to educate myself more and to help encourage me. Thanks for all of the help. I NEED IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what these challenges are for, if we were already exceptional we wouldn't need them...get pro-active about doing what YOU want, regardless of what anyone else is doing/eating, if doing this will go towards making you happy then go for it and just do your best until it becomes habit, like I said before, 30 days is just a drop in the ocean but it's a good start!!!

flameska Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Watch Meet the Robinsons if you like kid movies! It kicks ass and it's all about failing a zillion times but then having the most incredible success ever.... and of course it never would have happened without all the failures...

belleadonna Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hey, how do you get the quotes in a box?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hey, how do you get the quotes in a box?? That's strange, it should have worked how you did it, you just need to have: [quote] ... [/quote] at the start and end, or you can have [quote="user name"] ... [/quote] if you want to have their name at the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belleadonna Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I know but it never works for me. I hit the quote button but it just comes up with Oh well. Count me in on the challenge. I started yesterday so I have a penalty and have to go until July 10th. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belleadonna Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Oh, just noticed when it starts. Well then I will be almost a month ahead of ya'll and hopefully headed for my 2nd month by then. I'm stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I did try raw food for a week last month. Came close to fucking up - nearly fried some tofu sausages. Thankfully, I remembered my commitment and ate them raw Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
