PeteBerger said:Would like to hear from others who are on raw foods how they feel and manage to stay on it. I marked three weeks now, and most of the time I fail to see/feel the benefits. I'll try keep going with it, but it is not easy and didn't really find a really good book about it either. All recipes are either cr@p, complicated or there are so many unknown/unavailable ingredients I often just get fed up with trying to find some. Like I bought a dehydrator but never got to use it.
Peaches said:haven't gone into full raw food yet, guess I am hesitating on the side of the pool, but for three weeks I added two fresh juices a day to the diet, also wheatgrass, and the change in my health was amazing. Now I am traveling but as soon as I am back I will try again, and possibly explore raw.
For other food habit changes, for instance going from processed food to non processed food, or quitting sugar, I saw the benefits after maybe 2 or three months. The benefits were huge, especially sugar.
Of course if you enjoy perfect health perhaps you will be less motivated in sticking to it.
PS I read Boutenko's website, and I really didn't like their recipes, so even if the theory is good they don't have good taste in food, I think
these look yummier, for example http://simplegreensmoothies.com/recipes

or I like Joe Cross' website

The best 340$ I have ever spent
and where I live I found a place that sells you plants of already grown grass, one box lasts for 4/5 times, that's how I decided to give it a go - I wouldn't be able to grow my own grass, but most people are better with plants than me
I actually gained weight because it didn't occur to me that the juice was INSTEAD of meals, not with, but now I use a bender too and that gives me enough "food feeling' to eat less
I must share the blender too because I love it to bits : http://www.domo-elektro.be/Portals/2/images/productnieuws/pancarte blender new.jpg
