Now mind you, this is the same girl who got me all hyped on running this year and I still run..erry' now-n-den  ..but she has stopped running since late summer.
She tells me about becoming a raw foodist..someone who doesn't cook their food. At frist thought, I was like.CV, here you go again...I'm aint eating raw meats and isht..that aint even gonna happen. So she sends me all sorts of websites and a video to watch and I read that raw foodists eat nothing but fruits and veggies and some nuts. There is no meat, no sugar, no processed food and no cooking. So I told her I would try it for two weeks to see if it could help me get over this fitness/health wall I had hit.
Well 3 weeks latter and about 8lbs lighter, about 70% to 80% of my diet has been nothing but raw foods and I actually feel great and look even better. It's not for everyone and you really have to read what's out there to be better informed.
Here is some information

Thanks for this info!! I went hard as a vegetarian for about a month, then jumped off the wagon. However, I think that I am about to jump back on, as I have been feeling like crap ever since going back to the meat. As I don't have tons of time to research right now (with me studying for finals and all that), can you post a few more links for me or give me a crash course on how you've followed this lifestyle? I think that it would be interesting to try, as I LOVE the idea of NOT cooking. Who has time for that?
Keep me posted!
