I went 100% raw 3-1/2 weeks ago and I can already say it's the best thing I've ever done for my body. I have greatly increased energy, more clarity of mind, and a general enhanced feeling of well-being. I don't miss cooked food, and I don't have a need to snack any more in the evening. I have a fruit smoothie for breakfast, almonds for lunch, and a green smoothie or greens/broccoli/carrot salads for dinner. The fear of protein deficiency in the U.S. is a pure myth, cooked up by the meat & dairy companies. There's more than enough in veggies and nuts. Check out the book "Green For Life." It explains it all, and gives recipes for green smoothies. I only wish I had been enlightened earlier. I thought I had a good vegan diet, but going raw is everything rawist have said about it. Bonus: natural weight loss.

I eat lots of raw fruits and veggies, but not solely. I love to cut up a tray of tomatoes, mini sweet peppers, cucumbers, carrots, avacado. It makes for lots of goodies for the compost pile also. We're getting our own garden going, it should go pretty well this year. It'll be our fourth year so we're still learning. Can't wait for home grown veggies! They definately have the best flavor. The farmers market starts soon too so that'll be great.

Anybody have an Aero Garden? They are great! Grow your own veggies, herbs, flowers, ect., year round. We've got lots of cherry tomatoes right now. Yummie! Eventually I would love to have a greenhouse or a room for growing lots of goodies year round.

Maluhia, you've seen a noticable difference? In how long? Do you keep track of nutritional info, like you probably get enough protein from nuts and leafy greens?

I have taken the next step and have embraced raw food. I could not have imagined the immediate benefits to mind and body. Are there other raw foodist among us?
