Raw Food 2013 *RESOLUTION!*

It seems like you see a raw diet as a method of avoiding poor eating habits, and if this works for you, great, but I'd like to offer three counter points.
1) An exclusively raw, or very high raw diet is not the only way of avoiding poor eating habits.
2) Even some advocates of raw diets have moved away from eating 100% raw diets, and are now advocating 80-90% raw diets. It seems that for many people, a high raw diet is more beneficial than a 100% raw diet.
3) One does *not* need to start a raw diet overnight. It is entirely possible to migrate to a high raw diet over time. While some people do better with the sort of radical change you describe as necessary, it does not work for all people. Many people find that gradual changes are much easier to sustain.

While it does help to avoid poor eating habits, I see a raw food diet optimal in opposition to the KETO diet I was on, and the SAD. It just makes more sense to eat fruits and veggies and nuts and seeds. It can also help those who are paleo become better at paleo because there are no hidden ingredients in raw food. Obviously there are other ways to avoid poor eating habits, But I mainly have a mind of the crossfit community. Also, I did post that I wasn't going to be 100% raw. I was at one time and got dramatic results, but I'm not going to deprive myself and consider this more of a lifestyle change. So I did not offer up a 100% raw lifestyle to anyone, of course people can take it as they go and eat primarily raw with few exceptions like I am.
Also, the reason I have stated to start this diet overnight is because I have experience with it, and I found that starting overnight with a good head is a much easier approach to the diet and will help long term. Some people can quit things and start things cold turkey. I am one of them. Many other people are not- and I understand this. There are still a couple of days until the first of the year to begin experimenting. Everyone can take the time to do some research if they are interested,.

In conclusion, I have started this forum to possibly gain some support from others and support those who wish to follow this with me. It is a personal choice, and not everyone has to agree with this (and I knew not everyone would because at first it seems irrational to follow) but those who are vegan, primal, or vegetarian can keep their same diets while incorporating more raw. They can start it and stop it however they wish-choose to do it- or choose to just ignore the post. I don't understand your negate to something I feel is positive for a new start to a new year.
