Welcome, Sahira! You may want to read some of the recent threads about the raw diet and teeth, and also curing cavities.

I think we are about 6 000 thousand people trying this in Sweden with extremly good results. Many doctors follow this themseves since it is so effective. It's called: Low Carb - High Fat. People are thrilled and we get very educated through our LCHF-forums.
There are some here in the States, too. I follow this diet, because it helps stabilize my low blood sugar problems (among other things).

And we though fat was BAD. Hey, I have never had such clean, white teeth...no hunger for sugar, no nasuea, just plain calm on fattening food from ancient times. I feel like a cave man but so relaxed. I was always hungry and snacking away on raw foods.
I had a similar experience with a low-fat diet. I ate whole grains, fruits and veggies up the wazoo, but always felt hungry, and was just completely obsessed about food (and getting fatter and sicker on this "healthy" diet!).

Isn't it nice to eat infrequently, feel full, and not think about eating in between? It's so freeing.
