I am enjoying this blog so much.

I ate 90% raw several summers back - farmer's markets make it easy to fill up on local veggies. I noticed pretty quickly that I suddenly had SO much more energy; granted I was getting a lot of sugar from the fruits I was eating. I didn't need a nap to get thru my day any more. I also noted how finely tuned my taste buds seemed to be. I couldn't tolerate spicy food. The raw-'cookbooks' were fun and the recipes varied. A lot of deserts made with dates - that sort of thing. Noodles made of veggies. I also lost my belly - as bread is not raw. There are raw substitutes you can make with a dehydrator but I never got that far. I didn't really loose weight during that summer, but I will always remember how much fun it was!
