Hi,

This might seem like a kind of weird question to ask in a thread on going completely raw, but...

I notice that Steve says that he did not experience such a big difference when making the change to a vegetarian diet, but noticed a significant change when moving to a vegan diet. This kind of makes me wonder whether the real problem is actually the dairy component of the diet.

I'd be interested to hear from people who still eat minimal meat, but in combination with a raw food diet (or even a minimal meat in combination with a mostly vegan diet, if that even makes sense). Do you still get the reported benefits of a raw food diet (or vegan diet)?

I tried a vegetarian 30 day trial and must say that I noticed almost no difference at all. I'm tempted to try a vegan 30 day trial, but I'm also interested in whether a similar result can be had by simply removing the diary component and cutting back on the meat component while increasing the fruit and veg component of the diet.

Seraph.

ps. Feel free to kick me out of this thread and into a dedicated topic if you like as I don't want to derail this thread. This thread was the inspiration for my thought though. :-)
