My family’s raw challenge update! :0)

Hello again!  For those of you keeping up with family’s raw food challenge, I got some fun stuff to report!  Everyone involved is doin’ great!  Let’s start off with my Mom, if you’re just now reading this we have had her at the house for 10 days now eating 100% raw foods.  During her three week transition period she was eating about 50% raw foods and had lost 15lbs, and her blood sugar levels were lookin’ pretty good.  Now that she’s here her sugar levels are lookin’ even better, goin’ from a norm between 160 and sometimes as high as 210 to lows as low 112 and the highest in the low 140′s!!  We are so psyched up about her progress!  We’ll have to wait until after the challenge to see how her weight loss is progressing, as she has to go to the Doc’s to weigh in, but we can all see a difference in her face and overall!  Her skin is even showing better color!  She’s been enjoying all the raw eats with the exception of some of the interesting juices Amanda concocted in honor of International Juice Feasting Day.  This makes me so happy because she is getting to experience first hand how tasty and satisfying raw eating can be, I think it’s a big eye-opener for her and I’m hoping it will encourage her to stick with a high raw diet long after the challenge has ended!  Keep checkin’ out her progress and if you’re not already a subscriber to my channel on youtube then get your butt over there and hit it up, ’cause we’re gonna be posting weekly with new videos to update her and my other family members progress, and as usual gonna be throwing in the occasional recipe video! :0)

 My mom isn’t the only one rawkin’ it out, my sister, Danielle, and bro-in-law, Aaron, and my lovely wife, Amanda are also now 10 days into the 100% raw eating, and have been having great results!  Aaron, who’s decided to dive into the raw challenge head first by goin’ 100% raw from the get go has shed over 40lbs in 4 weeks!!  Danielle, who doesn’t have much to shed, has dropped 15lbs over this past 10 days of eating 100% raw, and Amanda has shed 10lbs during the same time!  Aaron has been presently surprised by how tasty and filling raw food can be, and has been enjoying all the eats I’ve been whipping up, particularly my marinated mushroom wraps with seed cheese, BBQ Portobello Burgers and Raw tacos with the works.  It’s really awesome for me to be chefin’ it up for my family and sharing with them the strategies and info that has brought about such an awesome transformation for me!  It’s great to be doing this for them with all the love and support they’ve given me! 

 These videos that I’m sharing here have been featured on Raw Fu and Raw Food Rehab and the  response to them has been overwhelmingly awesome!! Sooo many people have written to tell how they’ve been touched by what we’re doing and have been sharing them with family members who they’d love to see make awesome improvements to their health.  Amongst these cool responses have been many who say they’ve been re-inspired to tackle their own raw food challenges!  I’m so happy to hear all the wonderful things that are comin’ about from my family’s raw adventure and they’re excited as well to hear all the great comments, words of support and encouragement, and tales of others inspired by their changes, so from all of them and myself to all the people cheering them on we wanna say thank you so very much and you all freakin’ ROCK!!  Peace, love and rawness~ Rory and Family :0)
