how long have you been on it and how has it affected your health ?
Have you had any complications with it ?

I attempted it last year but stopped after getting very sick after 6 weeks into it and I was never sure if it was because of the diet itself.

I was thinking of trying it (for health, not weight loss). My only concern is that it might be a tad bit expensive. I might have to buy things like a juicer and a dehydrator.

For years my staple diet was wheat pitas, rice & very spicy veg/non-veg dishes (typical indian/pakistani foods). Over last six months, I started eating mostly raw fruits & vegetables. While overall effect on health was good, but I started having this persistent toothache. I showed many dentists but after scores of x-rays they could not find anything wrong.

Now, a few days ago, I was at a party & I had to eat traditional Indian/Pakistani food, and lo & behold toothache disappeared. Now I have added wheat Pita etc back into my diet and toothache doesnt bother me any more.

Just wanted to share my experience, & see if my mosty fruit diet was lacking in something. Should I take any supplements along with it.?
So, are u guys saying, cooked vegetables are better than raw ones for teeth? I do drink lots of milk.
To Jen:

But my digestion became super-excellent when I started raw fruits & veggies. All my body functions become much better, except this stupid toothache.

I know that the raw food diet has so many benefits for health, longevity, and mental well being. But sadly, I lack the willpower needed to give up all of my beloved cooked foods. My wonderment is, if I eat a diet that is largely raw, but not completely, will I still experience some of the benefits, if to a lesser degree?

What are the benefits of a raw food diet? How will it improve one’s health? What do you eat on this diet? What do you do when you go out with friends to a restaurant or gathering? Thanks.
