I've been doing all raw, low-fat since July 9th (before that, I was doing a standard American diet). I've dropped about 20 pounds (from 245 to 225), and seen a lot of that steady high energy and mental clarity that Steve talks about. Most people who make an abrupt dietary transition have any number of detox side effects, but I have basically felt great the whole time, with no moodiness, headaches, weird zits or spots, etc. Apparently this is exactly what my body needed.

Tomorrow I'm going on vacation with my family, and I'm going to stop the diet for at least a week. I'm disappointed -- but also very curious to see what it will be like going back to cooked food.

Thanks, Steve, for inspiring me to do this -- and all the other great things you've inspired me to do. :-)
