I also read the Steve Pavlina post about the raw food diet and am planning on going 100% on Monday. I think that when it comes to weight loss, if you focus on how you feel, and strive to feel good, you’ll lose the weight. I think a healthy weight is a by-product of a healthy body, so if you wake up with energy, and feel like you can concentrate and feel calm throughout the day, and generally feel good, you will lose the weight.
I personally don’t have weight to lose, but I still need to change my diet, I just don’t really feel good. But I need energy to achieve all my goals, cos I have so many, and it’s important for me to live life to the maximum.
If you decide to go raw, good luck! I’ll be documenting my progress on my blog, if you’re interested.
