I was vegetarian for about 2.5 years, and it was very easy to do. I no relapses. because of my reasons for doing it, not so much for health but for the animals and the planet. About a month ago I went vegan, I hadn’t realized how much dairy farm animals suffered, that made being vegan all that much easier. Now the next step is raw foodist vegan, are their ethics surrounding a raw food diet, or is it purely for health reasons. I recently switched to all natural medicines (white willow, rose hips, etc.) and they work better then any medicine I have ever taken, I can only imagin how great it would be to be 100% raw!

Thanks for your comment. Regarding Matt's suggestion about replacing bread with lettuce, I think it's a good start for someone to transition to eating a healthier diet. Over time, you'll lose the taste for meat altogether and want to eat other plant based foods. For some, trying to replace too many things in their diet at once can be counterproductive.

This below is from Matt Monarch’s October 12 newsletter:
“I LOVE to tell people to replace their bread with lettuce!!! This may sound odd at first, yet this simple step ALONE can literally change peoples’ whole health. For example, if you have a sandwich with bread and meat, just replace the bread with lettuce. Put the meat inside the salad leaves or even put it in a salad and that alone would make THE WORLD of difference in terms of digestion and overall health”.

But would meat be worse than bread?

I’ve wanted to be raw for a very long time, but I am just not doing well in the conversion. For one, its truly expensive, especially when you also have two family members who eat a VERY POOR SAD diet. I just can’t seem to get motivation to stick to it for other reasons either. Within just a couple of days of being raw, I begin to crave red meat. I could give up all meat, except steak. Not sure why that is. I’m also longing for someone to “do the raw life” with. Its so hard to feel completely isolated in your endeavor. I live in the South (US) and there’s not much in the way of healthy living here. Any advice???
