I want to share some thoughts on my recent decision to switch to a raw food diet with respect to how I finally made this change. Although I only made the decision about a week ago, it feels to me like a permanent change, and I have a hard time seeing myself returning to cooked […]

Many people have asked that I post a diet update since ending my 30-day Raw Food Diet trial in January. I don’t have a whole lot to report, but I’ll post a brief update to address the main questions I’ve been asked.
I went back to eating vegan cooked foods in February and March. As I […]

This is the final postmortem of my 30 day trial of the low-fat raw food diet, which I conducted from January 1 to January 30, 2008.
The two posts I made before starting this trial explained the background on this diet and my reasons for doing this, so I won’t rehash all of that here. If […]

Eating cooked food on January 31st after 30 days of 100% raw foods didn’t go well for me. As I posted in the Day 31 update, I was feeling poorly with a mild fever by the end of the day. I could barely sleep at all that night, and the next day my fever spiked […]

Today was my first day eating cooked food since December 31, 2007. While not technically part of the raw food diet trial, many people expressed interest in knowing what it was like to return to cooked food, so I’m happy to share those thoughts. Well, to be honest I can’t say I’m happy, since I’m […]

Today was good overall. No problems to report aside from continued dry skin and itchiness.
Now that the trial has officially ended, it almost feels like a graduation. This has definitely been the most challenging 30-day trial I’ve done to date, but I can’t say I’m sad to see it end. I’m looking forward to eating something — […]

Today was good overall, although I ate a couple ounces of walnuts this morning and then got really drowsy a few hours later. A short nap restored me completely. Walnuts didn’t have that kind of effect on me before this trial.
For a change of scenery, this morning I went to the Strip to do some […]

Good days seem to be the norm now, and today was no exception.
I can’t remember the last time I had any daytime drowsiness. I feel totally awake and alert all day long. On my previous diet, if I really worked hard in the morning, I might take a 20-minute afternoon nap. But now I don’t […]

This was another very positive day. I finished editing another chapter of my book this afternoon. This was one of the most difficult chapters to get right, mainly because it’s the first chapter, so I’m glad to put those 7,000 words behind me. My physical energy was steady throughout the day, and my mental focus and concentration […]

Today was pretty normal but certainly on the positive side. For the most part, I enjoyed following the raw diet today and had good energy. I spent most of the day working on my book, doing tons of editing. I didn’t feel like my mental endurance or creativity was any higher than usual, but it was […]
