Hi Steve,

If you are feeling sluggish, it is probably because your cells have released a toxic load into your bloodstream and you are feeling the effects of it swishing round your system.

You may want to consider an enema or colonic to clear out toxins. that always gets rid of the sluggish feeling for me. (I can't remember from your original post if you mentioned an opinion on these or not). Matt Monarch talkes about this being the 3rd pillar of success on raw.


Also I would be really interested in how you deal with the social side. I find being raw easy when I am (un)cooking just for myself or making packed lunches. Dinner parties are difficult. I went to 2 this weekend (oh the perils of being popular! ) and my friends just don't get the raw thing and want to serve you a dish that took hours to cook, rather than a green smoothie and avocado!

Hmmm, what is the difference between Raw Smoothie and Raw Soup? Aren't they both made with a vitamix, you drink both of them up, and they are both coldish?

Steve's raw soup had whole grape tomatoes thrown in at the end, not blended.

Actually they were diced roma tomatoes.

I feel great this morning, so this could be a third positive day in a row.

Raw soup is eaten cold. A semi-popular example is gazpacho. Technically the main distinction between a raw soup and a smoothie is whether you drink it from a glass or a bowl.

Glad your feeling good so far! This is really encouraging for my own trial that starts this weekend.

Thank you for taking the time to share this fascinating experience with us Steve. Although I don't plan on going raw anytime soon, I do try to include as many raw and unprocessed foods in my diet as possible. I think it's scary the amount of nutrients that get wiped out in food by cooking and industrial processes. Especially with pre-cooked foods, all we are really getting is an overdose of sugar, fat, and bad proteins.

I have a question: does eating raw automatically mean eating vegan? Are there
some raw foodists that consume meat and fish in their diet? Just wondering.

Hang in there Steve, you're already past the halfway mark!

Me too, it's inspiring me to eat more raw food even if I'm not yet doing a Raw Vegan trial.

Yep. I've heard of some who eat raw chicken.

Yes there are people who eat raw meat and animal products. But I think that raw eating isn't for raw's sake. Eating raw has to do with optimum nutrition and eating the foods that we are meant to eat. One major argument against getting anything but incidental meat in your diet is that while fruits and leafy greens are visually appealing and pleasant on the palate. Raw meat in it's whole food form, a live animal, doesn't really register as food.

I'm new to this whole thing so I'm just reciting what I've read. I encourage you to do your own research though, it's really interesting reading.

Do you think that's because you're past the transition period, or because of something different you've been doing the last few days (like eating more greens as some have suggested)?

Yeah, I'm curious about that too. One good way to test that is after feeling great for 4-5 days, substantially reduce eating green veggies for a day or two and see how it feels.
