I have been 100% raw for about 15 months now (since November 2007), and I feel great. I have gotten a few of my friends to try it too, and I can see the changes in their lives. Unfortunately, they have difficulty with other members of the family not wanting to do it, so they struggle. But I maintain hope! I too love the clarity that a raw food diet brings.

Sure thing, for best results, I recommend transitioning to full raw over 2-3 days to a week depending on how your detox symptoms are. You can always slow down the symptoms if you prefer by adding a little avocado or steamed veggies, although if you can, I would recommend going through them straight on. That's faster and the symptoms normally go away in a few days. I talk about this in depth at <a href="http://www.10in14raw.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.10in14raw.com</a>. The results are awesome... it's how I took off 50 lbs and have been within 1 pound of the same weight for over 3.5 years. All the best! Mark Hi Melissa, Thanks for your comment.

I've always been on the "heavier side" as i am 5'1 and 110 - 115 pounds. Do you suggest going full raw right away ? I've heard that the first week of detox can be pretty bag ? and suggestions or tips ? I’ve always wanted to go full raw vegan. I’ve always been on the “heavier side” as i am 5’1 and 110 – 115 pounds.

Yes, sometimes it's a challenge to stay raw depending on your situation. I've found that the longer you stay raw and the more you focus on a true raw diet, low in fat and without all the 'raw junk food' (processed raw foods) your chances of success are greater. The emotional side is a major factor for most as well, as it was for me. All the best on your journey and let us know how you're doing or if we can help!

Cooked foods are addicting and it sometimes can take a while for your system (and emotions) to let go. When you start to feel better without them you'll know you're getting closer to the freedom of being able to choose what you enjoy eating, and what you feel is best for you and your health. Not because of an addiction or stimulus response to a food or emotion. Eating more greens will help with the cravings over time. Eating heavier foods like manna bread, nuts and seeds, avocados at the beginning while transitioning is good to get you off of cooked foods. Also eating more fruits during the day will help with the hunger. Eventually you'll be satiated with less food since you'll be getting the nutrition your body is craving (and making you feel hungry now). We have many resources to help further at: <a href="http://raw.learnhealthymeals.com" rel="nofollow">raw.learnhealthymeals.com</a> including raw recipe videos, meal plans, articles, questions and answers and more. All the best on your transition and enjoy!

I was certainly drugging myself, drowning out emotions that I didn't want to deal with and bringing momentarily pleasure in exchange for poor health. My two suggestions are: 1) to work on resolving unresolved emotional issues. Goal would be to bring more peace into your life, bring closure and work out things that bother you. Whenever you feel stress, unhappiness, lack of clarity... they are all signs that you're not being you and doing the things you want. By listening to these signals you can identify these issue and clear them up. Suggested reading: <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/secretcoupons/detail/1401904599" rel="nofollow">Ask and It Shall Be Given</a>. 2) Add more fruits and veggies into your diet regularly, in place of the pastas, wine, cheese, breads, etc. In the mean time, use heavier transition foods like manna bread, nut and seed 'cheese', raw crackers and similar foods to wean you off of pastas, etc. Adding more green salads, at first with heavier foods like avocados and nuts will help satisfy you. Over time and as a result of both resolving emotional issues and adding more fruits and greens, you'll crave the carbs less and start enjoying the freedom from carb addiction.

I am one of those fortunate/unfortunate persons with a fast metabolism, diabetes, and celiac disease. I am afraid to start this diet because I neither want to or can really afford to lose any weight. How do you maintain a certain amount of "fat" in this diet? Are nuts and seeds really enough? I am 5 ft tall and weigh 95 lbs soaking wet.

I was raw for six months and now have fallen back into the "SAD" diet. I would very much like to go back to the wellness of raw food, however I will need to make adjustments as you have. I found too many avocado's, nuts and oils were not getting the results I wanted, i.e. sluggish, weight gain etc. Thanks for sharing your journey and thoughts. It truly helps.
