TheCocaineDiaries replied: "Almonds and any other nuts are low in carbs. 2 tablespoons of peanut butter is only like 5 grams of carbs, and there are like 500 peanuts in peanut butter, so very very little carbs are in nuts."
PomLover replied: "Its about 6.94 kcal per raw almond
Carb: 0.237g
If you eat a handful, maybe 10 almonds:
69.36 kcal

I'd say you're safe eating them on a low carb diet, just don't eat too many."
What's the best salad for Raw Foods Diet? I'm trying to make myself a salad for tomorrow for lunch, but I've recently tried to follow the Raw Foods Diet plan type thing. Can anyone help me come up with things to put in my salad so I don't break the Raw Foods plan??? Also, should I add nuts to my salad? Walnuts or toasted almonds?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Love My non standard pom replied: "y is this under vegetarian/vegan...... we do not eat meat"

1 pound wholesome carrots, coarsely grated (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 to 4 cloves garlic, mashed or minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin or 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Pinch of salt
About 1/2 teaspoon harissa (Northwest African chili paste), 1 tablespoon minced green chilies, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
PreparationIn a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld and permeate the wholesome carrots. Served chilled or at room temperature."

Mr.Rosewater replied: "Avocado Spring Salad:
1 tomato, finely diced
1 small garlic clove, finely diced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large avocado
1/4 onion, finely diced
juice of 1 lime
about 10-12 crushed almonds
2 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of purslane
1/2 cup of mix greens
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
Begin by preparing the spinach in a salad bowl, and then add in the shredded carrots, mix greens and also the purslane. Remember to previously wash all ingredients before using. Also purslane may be difficult to locate in your area, but don't worry if you can't manage to find some. Fortunately the salad will still work great without purslane. Although, I enjoy adding purslane because it gives a unique tangy accent to the over all taste. Also, mix greens can be a variety of lettuces and salad herbs; usually you can find this at your local market previously packaged. Mix all of these ingredients well in the salad bowl, and set aside.
Now, start finely dicing tomato, onion, and garlic clove. Then in a wooden bowl mix the diced tomato, onion, and garlic with a large avocado. With a spoon or a small cup smash the ingredients into a nice purГ©e. After you've smashed the tomato, onion, garlic and avocado add in 2 spoons of olive oil and lime juice and mix well with a fork or spoon.
Pour the finished purГ©e over the previously prepared green salad, and finally add the crushed almonds. Mix and enjoy with fruit and water.
The Avocado Spring Salad is light, healthy and can be enjoyed for lunch.
Serves: 2
Preparation time: 15 mins."

I stay away from store bought nuts and seeds as they've been dehydrated, I'm also just not a big fan of nuts and seeds, they're a bit addictive even know they don't really taste that good. I think I'll stick with fruit."
MB princess of BM replied: "sprouts are really health raw food that you can grow at home. nuts are a good source of protein and healthy fats. but if you toast them they are cooked not raw."
What can I eat on a raw food diet? Obviously raw veggies and fruit but what about nuts, olive oil, beans,meats/fish like raw oysters, salt/pepper, vinegar, cool whip, almond milk, store brought orange juice ,yogurt, couscous, cheese,etc
ps I just started today , all I at is watermelon cause i dont know what to eat. I want to eat hummus but i dont know if thats aloud. also i dont have the money to buy any of the dehydration equipment.
Skeptic replied: "As long as you are 75% eating raw foods, you can be considered on a raw food diet. Here is my personal take on these food items:
Raw nuts - Absolutely, but don't go overboard because they have saturated fats. You do need Omega-3 fatty acid supplement or the food equivalent because you body does not produce this. Variety pays off. Avocado, olive oil, Flaxseeds, and other vegetable sources are good.
olive oil - It's OK, but don't overdo it. It has saturated fats. See the point above.
beans - Beans are important for the protein. Most raw food diets use sprouted beans. I eat cooked beans and brown rice, although this is not part of a raw food diet. It supplies the required proteins.
meats/fish like raw oysters - As long as the fish is fresh and free of contaminants and other bad things, you are OK. Red meat is a bad idea. Raw milk is a bad idea. I personally would not touch raw oysters.
salt/pepper - Yes. Easy on the Salt.
Vinegar - Very easy on this as a dressing.
Cool whip - No. Get real food.
Almond milk - I wouldn't touch the corporate stuff. Make your own.
Store brought orange juice - No. Get real food.
yogurt - Very little. The bacteria is good, but the commercial stuff has fructose and other sweeteners that are very bad for you.
Couscous - Not a raw food, but I loved this cooked food.
Cheese - Dairy is a very bad food. There are superior sources of calcium.
Green Smoothies - This raw food provides you will all the calcium you need along with other important nutrients. Get recipes and instructions online.
Raw Vegetables - Absolutely. Eat in bulk.
Raw Fruits - Absolutesly. Eat in bulk."
Problem with raw food diet? I have started the RAW FOOD DIET....I eat a grapefruit or an apple for the breakfast....romaine salad with some cucumbers,tomatoes and bell pepper for lunch...some almonds as a snack...but every time in the evening i'llstart getting dizzy and light headed...i know that I am doing something wrong but not sure what?...anybody who is on this diet or know something about it please help me...I really want to lose some fat...its working because i lost 7 pounds in 10 days...but this getting dizzy thing is driving me crazy now...HELP ME PLEASE.
Just me again!! replied: "You really need protein and starch in your diet, no diet where you only eat one is good for you."
anna p replied: "the problem is u got to eat more ....it's got to full u up ...or its just that ur lossin alot of weigh and ur not gettin use to it....
GOOD LUCK!~!"
justjbk replied: "No diet is good when you're only eating one type of food. The point on a balanced diet is that it's....um, balanced. But I do know what you're going through, a couple of my friends became vegans a few years ago, and I know they went through the same thing at first, when they were learning how to properly eat in the vegan way.
First of all, take a multivitamin in the mornings to make sure you're getting at least a minimum of vitamins and minerals (my friends went to the pharmacist and bought special vegan multivitamins, you might want to try that)
Second of all, make sure you're still getting some carbs....you don't have to eat really filling, starchy types, try brown rice - it's lower in calories than bread or white rice, but you'll still get some carbs. Or eat some more fruit throughout the day, just to increase your blood sugar levels.
I hate to tell you this, but if you're taking multivitamins, eating more carbs and keeping your blood sugar level throughout the day, but you're still getting dizzy, you should get off the diet. Dizziness is always a symptom of something else, and you don't want to screw up your health for a few pounds.
And just as an afterthought, you ARE eating supper, right? It doesn't say anything about supper in your post....."
Horns2HoldHaloOn replied: "Any diet that does not include foods from ALL of the food groups is not healthy.
You are probably getting dizzy from a lack of nutrients or low blood sugar. Cooked food is not unhealty - try a chicken breast grilled with sage and rosemary, for example, to get protein. Nuts are a good source of protein, but you would have to eat a lot of them, and nuts are generally fatty. No diet that completely elimates any one (or more than one) type of food is healthy.
Seven pounds in ten days is UNHEALTHY. Healthy weight loss would be 1-2 lbs in a week, on average. If you eat sensibly and excerise moderately, you will lose weight (unless you have an underlying medical problem - like hypothyroidism or diabetes).
Also, try taking a multi-vitamin every day so supplement the food you are eating. Remember that a vitamin is a SUPPLEMENT, NOT a REPLACEMENT for the nutrients you would be receiving from a balanced, healthy diet.
Consider speaking with your health care provider about a diet that would be right for you. If your symptoms are not because of the dieting, then they could be a sign of something more serious and should be evaluated by a doctor."

This is called Naturopath and is very prevelant in India and many ppl folow this for 1week to o1month.
This type of diet not only helps reduce your weight but also helps revitalise yoru organs, it also helps clean your instestines.
Human body hs an ability 2 sustain on Low fat/carb diet its just like hibernation done by polar bears etc.
I'll suggest that take a variety of fruits n Salad eg
Cucumber, Brokely, Tomatos, raddish, carrot, Turnip, Cabbage put a hint of salt an back peper with lemon juice etc.
Apple, Pineapple, Peach, Pear, grapes(green/purple), guava, Papaya, orange, sweet lime, again put some rock salt,, back pepper, lemon juice over it that will taste marvellous.
Then u can take honey and roasted almonds say 5-6 every day if u r in a cold country otherwise put teh almonds in wate overnight then peel the skin off in teh morning and eat them 1st in teh Morning that will be good for mind.
U should often practice such as 1'c in 2 months etc that will be bsolutely fine."
lerxstwannabe replied: "Well, other than not allowing for other food groups and possible malnourishment, there is one inherent flaw with an all raw vegetable diet. If you’ve ever watched Alton Brown’s show, “Good Eats” on the Food Network, he explains it pretty darn well, but here’s a Web MD link that does it too
The problem with many raw vegetables is that our digestive system isn’t equipped to break down every cellular barrier in the vegetables. If we were cows, for example, we could chew for hours on end and crush them to a pulp, extracting the nutrients, but we aren’t.
Although cooking them does release some of the nutrients into the surrounding water, cooking them properly reduces this loss. Without the heat to break them down, the barriers stay in tact and pass through our systems untouched.
Seriously though, I would consider switching to a healthier diet it I were you!"
persephonecall replied: "it doesn't seem like other commenters really understand the concept of RAW FOOD diets: raw food (not cooked), and veg (no meat).
i'd say you need to eat more. you seem to only be eating a little, even though, generally speaking, you can just about eat as much as you like on a raw food diet. keep on eating apples and such. the sugars really help. you may be feeling dizzy because of the lack of sugars in your system.
also, you may just be dizzy because you're adjusting to it.
try to keep your leafy green veg intake up, like baby spinach and such.
and be sure to drink lots of water. you may be getting dizzy from dehydration.
hope this helps"
John R replied: "You must eat a balanced diet.
That includes wheats (bread, rice), fruits and vegetables, meat, preferably fish and chicken (except red-meats), and take multi-vitamins.
If you want to lose weight, "eating less" is not the solution.
The right solution is to "eat enough" and exercise."
vegan&proud replied: "Mybe your not eating enough.I felt the same way when I first went vegan.I thought i was sick or something,i just was eating way too little calories,fruits and veggies have a real small amount of calories,so that might be a problem similar to yours."
glurpy replied: "By what you have described in terms of the food you eat, you are starving yourself. The light-headedness is a sign of low blood sugar levels from not having enough to eat. Think of anorexics who end up fainting--the little food you are eating sounds close to what an anorexic would eat!
On a raw food diet, you need to be prepared to eat a LOT of food and to plan your meals very well in order to stay healthy. It's not simply a matter of only eating raw foods. I would recommend you do a lot of reading, especially on the variety of foods you need to eat on a raw diet to get all of your nutrients, and find a support group. I did a quick search and found some that you might find useful:
Good luck--and make sure you have the information you need to be healthy!"
lime_paradise replied: "you don't seem to be eating very much at all. For breakfast, I usually eat at least 2 banannas, some raw almond porridge, and a green smoothie. lunch = an orange and maybe a small salad. dinner is something like maybe guacamole, a good size salad {with romaine, collard greens, onion, tomato, and pepper } a raw blended carrot soup, and another green smoothie. You might try adding more fruit and more greens to your diet. A smoothie is and excellent way to get more greens. They are low in calorie but if you're still concerned about weight loss, you might try some exercise, I do yoga and about 20 minutes on the body by jake cardio cruiser every day"
BornagainChristianandProud replied: "The raw food diet is only good when you want to fast for a few days or so. I would just have some stuff with protien. I am pretty knew to vegan and veggie and Natural and organic foods. So all I am saying find some stuff that has protien in it."

What do you think of this diet/exercise plan? How much weight will I lose? I need to lose weight for a wedding next month. So far I have lost 15lbs over the course of the last 3 months but now I have to up the weightloss a little to fit into the bridesmaid dress.
How does this diet sound? I know it is very restrictive but oh well. I have to include some carbs or I get very lightheaded.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal. 1 piece of small fruit
Snack: Celery w/ low fat peanut butter
Lunch: Spinach salad w/ mushrooms, chickpeas, egg and a sprinkling of sunflower seeds.
Snack: Tomato w/mustard
Dinner: Baked fish (about 6 oz) w/ steamed veggies.
Dessert: 1/2 cup sugar free applesauce
Snack: 12 raw almonds
I will also be doing cardio for 45 minutes 4-5 days a week
Strength training 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes
How much weight do you think I will lose?
I am 5'5" and 142 lbs.
kja63 replied: "You're going to eat the same thing every day? It'll never work!
You need variety in your meal plan. As a 1-day meal, it appears to be fine.
But every day? After the first week you'll be stark raving mad! LOL
Congratulations on losing 15 pounds over the past 3 months. That's wonderful. Losing weight (1/2 - 2 pounds per week) slowly will help you keep it off in the long run."
PavithraIndran replied: "hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...
Also... short term diets are no good because , they terribly pull down your body metabolism rate since you dont eat much during that period ... Because of this , once you break your diet , you'll start putting on more weight, the reduced body metabolism will take longer and slower to burn the food you take in...
They also dont work because once you break your diet and start eating normally, you will get back to your normal weight as you might not be cautious as to how many cals you take in per day...
i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...
just dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...
i'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)
the trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)
what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...
vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...
fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit
now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)
here they come :)
fast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...
its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...
my diet...
breakfast:
skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...
and try cereal in the mornings... oats, weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...
for lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...
then for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...
eat sandwiches as much as possible... i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies...
and combined with dieting... you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday... you'll see the difference...defenitely... if you think gym is boring... take up dance classes... or run along the beach... if you have one... or skate... or just about any physical activity... brisk walking will also help...
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight...
drink loads of water...atleast 6 glasses per day... and do a lot of physical activity.... take the stairwy instead of the lift.... and small things like that...
if you have any more queries...mail me... cheers :) and good luck :) its not difficult...you'll get used to it in a few days... and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body...
you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down... after that... its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise :) also check your weight everyday... its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres :)

I offer one bit of advice. Once a week cheat days have been shown to increase weight loss. When you eat such a resrictive diet your metabolism slows down to accomidate for the lack of nutrition. Eating, say, a small slice of chocolate cake and maybe a danish or something like that, will wake up your metabloism and you will lose more weight that way.
Good luck."

If it was no where near the extreme as this, and the exercise too, then you might be able to lose 2 lbs a week. It gets harder after you have hit a certain weight, and 142 is a good weight for your height.
The food you are eating sounds healthy, but with all that exercise you may need to eat more. I used to eat almost a pound of spinach a day when I was losing weight. (now i drink fresh carrot/cucumber juice in place of some meals)
If you need to get rid of some water weight, 4 days of 'Cabbage Soup' will do that."

Don't worry too much about aspartame. It is harmful when taken in large quantities many times.
Also to include to your exercise plan: To lose 300 calories you can:
Walk (3-4 mph) for 64 minuets
Bike for 38 Minuets
Roller Skating: 44 minuets
Running: 29 minuets
Stair Climbing for 38 minuets
Swimming for 38 minuets
Tennis for 38 minuets
Also remember not to obsess to much over weight. Your weight is a healthy weight in BMI . Obsessing can cause eating disorders, so I suggest you don't go overboard.
Oh Yeah: You need to incorporate drinks into this plan. Drinks can cost you A LOT of calories.
Also incorporate TREATS into this. You should not be TOO strict. Eat a donut of some chocolate or dark chocolate. Add a little more carbs too."

Your breakfast looks good, if you're working out, you'll need just a touch more, you can have 1 c. of oatmeal, this will be more filling too. Your snacks look good too. Your lunch, well you're going to be getting hungry pretty quick, you could try a subway on honey wheat bread? You'll need carbs for energy, especially since you're working out. I would sub your salads for lunch for a nice deli sandwich on wheat, this will be more filling, and this will cause your breakfast and lunch to be the main meals. Your dinner, fish is excellent. Do you like salmon? Make your last meal of the day the lightest, breakfast and lunch the biggest. Because you're working out you'll need it!
Be sure with your cardio to work and sweat, with your weight training, work hard too, try to get some help with the exercising if you haven't done it before, it's really super easy to do too heavy, or too much at first, get hurt, and then you can't do it at all.
Good job girl, hopefully this eating well will continue after you get into the dress and become a lifestyle?

muslim-doctor replied: "When food energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, fat cells (and to a lesser extent muscle and liver cells) throughout the body take in the energy and store it as fat. In its simplest conception, therefore, obesity is only made possible when the lifetime energy intake exceeds lifetime energy expenditure by more than it does for individuals of "normal weight".
In all individuals, the excess energy utilized to generate fat reserves is minute relative to the total number of calories consumed. This means that very fine perturbations in the energy balance can lead to large fluctuations in weight over time. To illustrate, an obese 40 year old who carries 100 lb of adipose tissue has only consumed about 25 more calories per day than he has burned on average - or the equivalent of an apple every three days. In comparison a very lean 40-year-old who carries only 15 lb of body fat will have exceeded his daily energy expenditure by about four calories a day - the equivalent of an apple every 18 days.
Factors that have been suggested to contribute to the development of obesity include:
Sedentary lifestyle
A high glycemic diet (i.e., a diet that consists of meals that give high postprandial blood sugar)
Weight cycling, caused by repeated attempts to lose weight by dieting
Underlying illness (e.g., hypothyroidism)
Genetic disorders (e.g., Prader-Willi syndrome)
Eating disorders (such as binge eating disorder)
Stressful mentality
Insufficient sleep
Certain medications (e.g., atypical antipsychotics)
Smoking cessation
Genetic factors
As with many medical conditions, the caloric imbalance that results in obesity often develops from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in various genes controlling appetite, metabolism, and adipokine release predispose to obesity, but the condition requires availability of sufficient calories, and possibly other factors, to develop fully. Various genetic abnormalities that predispose to obesity have been identified (such as Prader-Willi syndrome and leptin receptor mutations), but known single-locus mutations have been found in only about 5% of obese individuals. While it is thought that a large proportion of the causative genes are still to be identified, much obesity is likely the result of interactions between multiple genes, and non-genetic factors are likely also important.
Some eating disorders are associated with obesity, especially binge eating disorder (BED). As the name indicates, patients with this disorder are prone to overeat, often in binges. A proposed mechanism is that the eating serves to reduce anxiety, and some parallels with substance abuse can be drawn. An important additional factor is that BED patients often lack the ability to recognize hunger and satiety, something that is normally learned in childhood. Learning theory suggests that early childhood conceptions may lead to an association between food and a calm mental state."

haha no, that's not me.
she is 5' and i don't want to loose 20 lb, i just want to be around 76-81
and usually exercising doesn't do anything for me, i used to like 2 hours a day and i just maintained
and i don't starve myself
Oh Don't Kill Yourself! =( replied: "your allready pretty skinny. i would say 5 pounds is pretty much it since your skinny. but you could lose more just by eating very healthy. so i would say maybe 5-10
Excuse me steph. that is not me!"
licketychick replied: "That's tiny. Why do you want to lose weight? You're at least 20 lbs underweight as it is."
wiccagirl24 replied: "At 85 pounds with a height of 5'2 or 5'3 any more weight you lose is a death sentence, as you're already anorexic. Please get help."
Steph replied: "Hello "Oh Don't Kill Yourself! =)" on a secret account! We all know it's you.
Anyway, please don't try to lose any more weight. You are already extremely skinny and you don't need to shed any more pounds. Instead of extreme dieting, why don't you try exercising?
Dieting is a very complex thing. Diets are good for people who could afford to shed a few pounds, and you aren't one of those people. If anything, you could gain a few extra pounds. Snack on lots of nuts and fruits and veggies, and then get a lot of exercise. Join a sport! Go running 3x a week! Do something besides starving yourself!"

You should continue exercising since exercising makes you want to eat more. I am an athlete and the athlete's diet is completely different and if you exercise you are going to need to change your diet. If you go on a vegan diet you can't eat fish or dairy or meat or anything like that. If you go on a vegan diet you need to eat beans. There is no other way to get your protein and I'm sure if there's anyone. Right now you're alreading healthy and you are known as a "flexitarian" or a pescitarian (a vegitarian that eats fish). Continue your current diet. You are going to grow and gain weight. There's nothing you can do about it. Someone needs to sit you down and tell you that you are not the height that you are going to be permanently and you are not the weight. The lightest you should be is 100 pounds. Get to 100 and then start worrying about this. That's what everyone tells me at least so I'm not sure if it should be more than that?? sorry."

But no I don't think you need to lose weight because your still growing"

kate c replied: "I make a lot of dishes that are raw, such as beet ravioli, but it takes awhile to make and a few appliances are needed. Do you have a mandoline and a food processor?
The lunch salad sounds so good right now.
I personally cant really help you with a meal plan, I just eat apples, bananas, salads, and the occassional planned meal like the beet ravioli.
Email me through my profile if you want actual recipes from some of the books I have."
How long will it take to lose 10 lbs on this diet plan? How long will it take to lose 10 lbs on this diet plan? I am only eating raw fruits and veggies, almonds, eggs and plain tuna. For dinner, I eat something a little more filling but still healthy. Like fish with steamed veggies or shrimp with rice. Drinking only water and sometimes tea with a tsp of sugar or orange juice. I am 26, 5'3" and weigh about 129. I really want to lose weight and i really hate exercise. Is this possible?

I am always impressed that there is oftentimes some good advice and good links from people helping others through Yahoo_Answers.
After reading your question I saw you might be interested in optimizing your nutrition [(-:] so even though I may not answer your question exactly as you may have wanted it answered, I thought I would take the time to pass on some pointers I have learned the hard way from my own bad 'uninformed' choices, so you could learn about good advice and bad advice about good nutritional choices.
After having many bad health problems from listening to people who knew very little about the consequences of choosing LOW nutritional statistics, I really-really encourage you to learn from good nutritionists what to eat for a life time. [See below]
My best to you and to your future health,

I have learned what I now know after my own lengthy research efforts to improve my health - after вЂ˜FINALLY’ listening to unbiased researching nutritionists. I have shared extensively concerning the most critical nutritional statistics that are common to us all at: <>

Also, the only ranking I have ever found to be helpful for me for various foods was from Dr. Fuhrman’s work. I modified his list and posted it at <>

Lastly, after all my previous health problems due to following a-lot of bad advice, I can now understand the frustrations of other health researchers in the following quote within “The China Study” by T Colin Campbell pg 1: >>==>
“Even though information and opinions are plentiful, very few people truly know what they should be doing to improve their health.”
“This isn’t because the research hasn’t been done. It has. But the real science has been buried beneath a clutter of irrelevant or even harmful information – junk science, fad diets and food industry propaganda.”

You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight. Low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt, known as a dieting plateau. You can never get slim by starving yourself. A healthy weight loss program is one, which does not make you lose weight in such a manner that your health is spoiled. Starvation is not a worthy way to lose weight because most people will fail to abide to the program rules after a certain period. The moment you stop the plan, your weight will reverse back to where you start and sometime worst.
I graduated high school at 240 pounds and at 5 foot 3 that made me about as round as I was tall. I was one of those overweight teenagers who ate anything and everything without any regard to the effects it was having on my own body. Therefore, I began the diet pills, which did not work; I ate the special diet foods and even began drinking diet beverages. None of this stuff worked for me, just as it does not work for millions of overweight people. Eating less did not work and I was not one to work out or even get up and do anything remotely related to exercise. I knew I would look silly and it would hurt. I never thought or really cared about the health effects this would have on me, back then.
A year ago after a successful weight loss plan, now at 120 pounds, it is a major difference. I've lost 30 pounds in the first month. The most significant change in my life is the amount of energy I now have and the way my clothes fit loosely. Everyone close to me and people I haven’t seen in a while are amazed and tell me that I look really good. This is a life changing experience for me although at first I was skeptical about the weight loss plan.
Our own metabolism system play a vital part in controlling the amount of body fat burned in the process of providing energy to the body. Knowledge about our own metabolism function is the mother to all weight loss programs. With the knowledge you not only reduce your weight but able to maintain an ideal weight and living a healthy life.The weight loss program has proven to be effective in the short and long-term, without need to endure starvation and without any daily athletic workout. (But taking a light exercise every few days is highly recommended). Best of all you can eat what you most enjoyed without gaining any weight The weight loss program is affordable by all and do not need to pay a monthly fees to use it. In contrast to diet pills regime where you need to buy it on a regular basis and you will gain more weight when you stop taking it.
The success has inspired me to help others and i am sure you won't be disappointed. The link is at the source below and discover how you can become noticeably thinner in 11 days by eating in a way you'll actually enjoy."
