The Raw Foods Diet Experiment
Filed Under Mindful Food, Mindful Growth, Mindful Living | Leave a Comment
Vegetarians don’t eat meat, and vegans avoid all animal products. But what about that mystical third category? The Raw Foods diet has gained increasing popularity lately and has been a subject of hot debate in the health and nutritional community for some time now. Essentially, this rather unique diet requires that you eat everything (and that means everything) raw. Translation: the raw foods diet has you eating lots and lots of fruits and vegetables.I have always had a strong interest in dietary themes. I spent several years as a “pescetarian” - avoiding all meat products save fish and seafood. Even today, I occasionally return to my vegetarian roots when I feel my eating habits slipping out of control. From personal experience, I know without a doubt that such dietary changes can help bring about profoundly positive changes. Although I do not have direct experience as a raw foodist, the diet has always intrigued me.
You can imagine my excitement, then, when I discovered that legendary personal growth blogger Steve Pavlina was doing an experiment of his own and sharing his results with the world day-by-day.
