What's Steve eating now?

[Keith]

Steve,

I imagine I'm not the only one wondering what your diet is like post-trial. Do you mind giving us an update on what you're eating these days?

[Steve Pavlina]

I'm back to eating mostly cooked, still at the same weight I ended my trial. I still drink green smoothies nearly every day though. They provide such a nice energy boost.

Feeling just fine. Dry skin all healed now.

I was kind of curious as well. Are you eating about the same amount of cooked food pre-trial or less. I guess what I'm wondering is did the trial have any long-term impact.

It's probably the same. I still notice that certain foods taste better than I remember them tasting before the trial.

"What's Steve Eating Now?"

Sounds like The National Enquirer. I think it's safe to say you have achieved fame when people across the country are wondering what you're eating, or what you're about to eat, at any given time.

Not just the country. It's a global concern.

And it's fame in the sense that we require and observe that his choices grant him wisdom. Why repeat the missteps of the learned when you can learn from their mistakes?

You're absolutely right!
Greetings from Eastern Europe!

Okay, well, that's just really bad. We have at least three countries (continents, actually) involved now.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm currently in Chattanooga drinking a glass of tapwater. (Yay, I'm famous now, too).

[Herbalist]

Tapwater??? Yuck!
My kind advice - at least boil it. You don't want to drink chlorine as well, do you?

I'm drinking green tea LOL

[Andreas]

That was a good question, Keith.

Thanks for answering, Steve!

I'm looking forward to a "looking back on the raw food trial" post to see what you may do differently if you ever try it in the future. I'm glad to hear that your skin is all healed up. I've been thinking, Could it be possible that going 100% raw isn't the best path?

At this point, it seems like a time & convenience vs. super long-term health.

Steve,

I am vegetarian as well. Drink lemon with ginger and you will see your skin problem cured.

dang, that's what my dad always says....

anyway, this is GREAT cuz i've always wanted to go veggie and see what happened. reason that i haven't is because food is a HUGE part of my heritage being chinese american and, man, if you don't give us chinese people our pork...

but i figure a 30 day trial couldn't hurt. the stuff steve does just BOGGLES my mind. sort of to the point of being off putting, you know.. like, is he even human??? i would be sorely disappointed to find that i've been listening to a robot all these years.

watch out steve, don't go gettin all dali llama on us or anything. i tend to ignore saints and such as pop trends.

That's funny -- I sometimes wonder if everyone else is a robot.

I'm questioning the core value of 30 days experiments.

For example, I'm raw since early January and I'm just starting to see the bright side of the diet. I started at the same time as Steve but didn't limit myself in a 30 days time frame. I simple gave myself the time it should take and I trusted that the diet works because of stories of others.

I think that 30 days is simply not enough for certain subjects and could prevent one from experiencing great results.

i can see what you mean but isnt the point of the '30 days' part simply to enable you to develop a new habit? after that you can choose whether you carry on...

The name "30 day trial" really does imply that the intent is to "try before you buy". Also, the "30 days to success" blog article explicitly states that a benefit of the approach is to test new habits where you really aren’t sure if you want to continue.

Sebzzz is right: 30 days is good for a lot of things, but for certain changes (especially lifestyle ones) it's not long enough for an accurate evaluation. If you start regular exercise when you're overweight and unfit it can take well over a month to get past the "remind me why I'm doing this again?" stage. It did for me, anyway.
