RAw Food Diet
Anyone ever try it? What do you think of it?
I've been trying to put together a diet plan of it (not including raw meat) to test it out.

you are so disciplined, I am not sure I could do that . I am supposed to be deleting a few food / drink items from my menu and this is not the easiest to do .
so you basically eat the raw fruits and veggies ? any cooked veggies or this defeats the purpose of eating raw foods ?
can you give me a menu for the day ? random day

They say you can steam your veggies and as long as they are not heated to 180 degrees it's supposedly alright...
a typical day...
i don't normally eat breakfast, and have not eaten it for years. when i eat lunch varies, depending on how busy i am throughout the day.
lunch is a salad.. lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and sometimes carrots. and it's not a huge bowl of salad either.. it's a normal size.
i may eat some nuts with the salad.. i then usually get a banana.
dinner is usually fresh squeezed juice combination... different fruits juiced into a 20 oz drink or so.
then from there i snack on fruits, watermelon, honeydew, grapes. and eat nuts if i didn't have any for lunch. i eat a good amount of nuts in a day. i also eat about 3 or so bananas a day.

Did I experience any weight loss?? I lost about 50 lbs from it. I am able to goto sleep at reasonable times now. Usually within 30 mins or so. When it used to be an hour or two before I would fall asleep. I also do not need naps throughout the day like I used to. My memory has improved. Where things would just fall out of my mind are now able to stay longer, and I can retain things longer. My breathing is also better. I used to have heartburn all the time, and I have not had heartburn since the diet. No matter if i eat citrus fruist such as oranges, and even if i eat them late at night. I used to also have headaches all the time where i needed otc for it, and now it is very rare for me to get them.

That's incredible! I feel inspired to try it. I want to lose 10lbs. Anything less and I'll be underweight. lol
did you detox first or were you already on the vegan/vegetarian path before this?

I will say don't do any diet for just losing weight... you will end up quitting before you really get into it. you have to want to make the lifestyle change before you make any drastic changes to your eating.
i had been a vegetarian for about 2 years, only eating fish from time to time. when i went raw food it wasn't much of a food change, as it was giving up bread and dairy, and cooked things. such as rice, or cooked veggies.
some say that realistically one should only be 80% raw... but i don't think you will feel the full benefit until you do it all. bread adds mucus to ones intestines making them sluggish, and bloated.
