Hey guys,

A few points came up while I was reading about steve's raw diet..I'd love to get your opinion of it.
as a relatively new vegan - 1 year now I
was very interested in the results of his raw diet..

I eat mostly raw (I'd say at least 75%) without even trying too
hard..I sprout stuff at home and use a juicing machine (a manual one, the brand name is "healthy juicer")

1. I've read elsewhere that you should avoid mixing fruits and vegetables together (with the exception of apples). Have you felt any side effects from mixing them together? (ie. Bananas + Lettuce green smoothy).

2. Speaking of smoothies isn't it healthier to juice veggies/fruits
instead? No oxidation from the rotating razors, and no heat build up?
On the other hand, for better or worse, juicing removes the fiber from the food and hence, suppose to make it more digestible. What do you think?

3. eating the same food everyday and all day long doesn't look very healthy to me..(ie: 15 bananas per day)

4. How's your protein / carbohydrates / fat percentage?

5. Did you guys had similar dry skin problems?

6. Did you lose too much weight? I've seen some VERY thin raw vegans..it can look scary sometimes..(I have a very low fat percentage as is,
and I don't want to lose the little that I have).

Thanks in advance for the info!
