After eating raw foods for 30 days, I learned a few things about the raw food lifestyle. These are more of the technical aspects of eating raw. Since I’ve had a couple of you e-mail me about the raw food diet experiment, I decided to make a separate post detailing some of the things I [...]

Before I describe the cons of the raw food diet, I must say that I am still strongly in favor of eating at least 80% raw foods for life. The Raw Food Diet Experiment is ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST things I have done for my health. I wasn’t sick before, but the physical, mental, and [...]

After completing the Raw Food Diet Experiment, I made a list of the pros I experienced during the raw food diet. If you are still on the fence about starting your own 30 day raw food diet experiment, this list may just be the nudge you need. I’ve sent it to a few of my friends and two have decided to go raw [...]

A few of you, who followed the Raw Food Diet Experiment, have asked me questions on how to start becoming raw foodists. Although I am no longer on the 100% raw foodist path (I’m currently at 70-80% raw foods), I have walked it and I have a few suggestions in mind. Rather then respond to each e-mail individually, [...]

This article is going to be a bit more technical than the others, so if you haven’t had biology or physiology in a while, this will be a great refresher.  It’s about enzymes and how they can help you live a longer and healthier life. Before we dive into the deep end, let’s first define [...]

While on the raw food diet I had some strong cravings for cooked food (meat in particular) and I wanted to find out why. My research lead me to believe cooked food is addictive. It’s like a drug, but almost no one realizes this because we eat it every day. It’s like drinking coffee every [...]

As you know, I made it the entire 30 days on the Raw Food Diet. The last few days were particularly rough. I really had to battle my cravings using everything I had. Today I was relieved that I could give in to the temptations, but had some reservations about eating cooked food again. My primary [...]

I’ve made it to Day 30! Whew! What a ride. That’s 30 full days of raw food and sticking with it was not easy. It’s probably one of the toughest things I’ve done in my life, mostly due to the discipline I had to exercise in order to keep myself from eating cooked foods. I’m [...]

I woke up to the sound of the alarm today. I felt a little tired and I didn’t have the energy I usually have. After taking my measurements, I went and made breakfast. I kind of wanted to pop open a box of cereal and eat it with some soy milk. I just kept staring [...]

Sleeping a total of 5 & 1/2 hours, I woke up 30 minutes before the alarm clock rang. I felt refreshed and wide awake. I handled the hygiene and took my measurements. I’ve noticed that my weight has stopped dropping so dramatically and even though I’m still losing weight, it’s in very small increments. I think I’ve [...]
