i've been 90 percent vegan since august of 2007. i've lost 111 pounds at this point. i'm thinking that doing some raw eating couldn't hurt since i'm still looking to lose a large amount of weight and i think a wide variety in diet is was what has helped me get to this point. my only concern is that i am severely allergic to all raw nuts and melon. so i may not ever go 100 percent raw. but i'm going to be taking this very slowly so who knows where this will take me?
