I lost tons of weight within the first 3 months of being raw and I was slim to begin with. Once I added dehydrated foods (i missed eating breads and crackers) to my diet, I started gaining a little bit of weight again. I am now at a point where I actually don't crave the dehyrated stuff as much - it was more a matter of want than need when I craved it.

What I've been told is that the bulk of your diet should consist mostly of green leafy stuff, then fruits, and the nuts, seeds etc. to a minimum. I personally eat light snacks and meals throughout the day, and eat the heavier stuff (like your burritos, pizza, sandwiches, patties etc.) only once a day or not at all. And in all honesty, the more time that passes being raw, the less and less I need and want to eat!

Congratulations on losing 30 lbs the healthy way, by altering your lifestyle. I think the bottom line is that if you feel really great and healthy, don't worry about the numbers as much, esp 5lbs. Keep up the healthy lifestyle, make sure you get plenty of exercise, sleep and water =)

Cheers!
