Going Raw

My goal is to become a raw foodist. I've been reading a lot about raw foodism, and I'm going to do it. I've been comfortably vegan for a little over 4 years now, and i actually eat a lot of raw foods already. It shouldn't be too difficult. The book I'm reading right now, The Raw Food Detox Diet, is a book I'd recommend to anyone interested in the raw food lifestyle. The book uses a person's current lifestyle to determine how quickly one should transition into this lifestyle so they don't jump the gun and do more harm than good. When you detox the body, you're cleaning your cells. the waste has to go somewhere. Detoxing has to be done slowly so your liver and kidneys can process this waste, and toxins aren't released into the bloodstream. I've been about 80% raw for almost 2 weeks now and i feel really alive, awakened and amazing. The world seems different in some way, and i really think it's because of the way I've been eating. So I'm attempting to begin a 100% raw diet(not as a means of weight loss) on November 1. The first of the month just seems like a really appropriate time for a new start. I'll try to post updates as often as i can. Wish me luck! :)
