So I have been thinking about doing a raw food "diet" for a while now and my mom just watched a documentary about raw food called "Simply Raw" and is headed to the grocery store as we speak to start us on this. For those that have tried it I am wondering how it has worked for you or how you like it. I am a little nervous as I'm not sure I will be able to give up EVERYTHING. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!!

    I did a raw food "detox" for 5 days- OK but hungry the first day, second and third day I had a massive headache (detoxing) and was super tired, by the fifth day I was feeling fantastic. Broke my addiction to diet sodas and processed foods tasted awful for a while after that (of course I got used to them again- damn processed foods!)

    Hi Amy, my wife has been a vegetarian for over a year now, and a raw foodie for 8 months now and it has worked wonders for her. The coconut milk, nut milks and other foods have been great for her skin and vitamin intake She has been checked out by physicians and all her labs come back awesome!. She was able to lose over 49 percent of her body weight in a year and a half and keep it over for over 9 months with no looking back. I would recommend doing a youtube on some of the following people to get some ideas: Ani Phyo, David Wolfe, and Kevin Gianni. Kevin posts a daily video on the renegade health show. Good Luck on it and feel free to ask me any questions and if I am unsure, I can ask my wife, she has learned a lot.
