Don't take my word for it. Listen to what my Raw Coaching Clients say.January 7, 2005 Hi Roger, I just wanted to thank you for the awesome things I've been experiencing on this diet. I had tried to eat raw for about four months before I found your web site, and had to learn from my own mistakes - I wish I would have started with the program you recommend. I feel "cleaner" every day and my energy keeps growing. After a long battle with cravings, I think my body is finally getting over my addictions to junk food. Your writings on this helped me a lot - especially the pain v. pleasure ones. It's gotten to the point where I don't actually enjoy eating junk food. Yes, it feels good in a way, but it pales in comparison to eating fresh fruit with "gourmet taste buds," as you call them. There's a whole level that just isn't there - the salt, sugar, and grease that I used to savor now taste crude and unrefined - I don't know exactly how to say it. It's as though part of me enjoys eating this stuff, but not the part that has been awakened by and sensatized to the nuances of raw foods. I have also been following your exercize recommendations, and they have been great! I was never "fat" per se - I actually exercized a lot before I was raw. When I wasn't binging on junk food, I ate a lot of protein. Your comments on being undermuscled really applied to me - I lifted weights a lot and took some muscle growth supplements occasionally. The massive ammount of cooked calories I was consuming, combined with the suplements and my exercise caused me to become quite bulky - I looked great in black polo shirts. I didn't always like the idea of taking them off, however. It wasn't that I was that flabby - looking back, I was just bloated from overconsumption of protein and I had a lot of fat, which, when layered on top of muscles, made me look pretty strong. Things were not as great as they looked, however. I had unevenly developed muscles, which led to strains and pulled rotator cuffs. I also had to shower and wash my face frequently - if I didn't, the grease and grime that came out of my pores would build up. I just figured that this was natural, and forked over the cash for the soap, lotion, toner, cleanser, etc. that it took to keep my face's appearance normal and "clear." That is all different now. I no longer have to buy any of those products - my body just doesn't need them. I use a dry skin brush in the mornings, take a hot shower and scrub my body with a loofah gourd (1.29 at target). Then i take turn the water to cold for a few minutes to close my pores and stop the hot water from making me drowsy later in the morning. I don't have junk going into my body, so it doesn't come out on my skin. Back to the whole muscle thing (I'm finding it's all so related, though). Initially I lost a lot of muscle because I stopped working out when I tried to do a raw diet. Bad idea! I've been doing a lot of squats and pushups - with amazing results. I've also been using my own body's resistance, as you suggested, for curls, neck exercises, abs, and a host of shoulder exercises. I dont know why I ever went to the gym! This is developing my muscles so much more evenly.
