There’s basically two ways to go raw and get enough calories, one is to focus on high-fat foods like avocados, nuts and seeds to ensure adequate calories, and the other is to eat a lot of fruit. Steve’s interested in keep his fat intake down to around 10% so he’s going the fruit route. Lots and lots and lots of fruit, especially bananas. It’s very intriguing and I have to admit I’m fantasizing about it some. I’m not sure what all that fruit would do to my blood sugar, though, because my diabetes throws processing sugars out of whack. Fruits generally have a pretty low glycemic index/load though, and it might not be as bad as I’m imagining. Plus, if it caused my weight to decrease that would increase the efficiency of sugar processing. Anyway, it’s just a fantasy right now, but I may look into it a little more closely.

He has developed a system of habit-forming which is based on the idea of the 30-day trial, in order to achieve your goals but, also, to find out if they are really something you want to implement on a permanent basis.
