Here's the Deal...

What are we doing exactly?

The four of us are "Going Raw" for two months beginning Monday, April 19, 2010.
  • We're eating raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains.
  • We're not eating anything cooked, pasteurized, or processed.
Of course, there are always exceptions. =)
  • Klif is having 16 ounces of decaf coffee every day.
  • Jeremy is going to drink Green Tea.
  • Amanda may have exceptions after talking to her Doctor on Wednesday, 4/14/10.
Each of us has our own reasons, including: to have better health, to lower cholesterol, to lose weight, to have more energy, to have improved mental health, and to curb allergies. We are testing the notion that putting only live food in our bodies will improve our quality of life.

Of course, we're not sure if these good meaning intentions will outweigh the pull of Starbucks, pizza, burgers, Dairy Queen, etc. It will definitely be a struggle, and you'll get to read all about it.

  2. I am excited about your experiment and cannot wait to see how you feel. The SAD American diet is well SAD! Kudos, I think you will handle this fine -Klif drink lots of water - since coffee is dehydrating. Love you guys!Don't forget to get out Living by Design USA!
