Raawwwwwwrrr!

I've been really interested in Raw food diets recently. A couple of years ago I attempted doing the Dr Gillian McKeith 'You are what you eat' diet and found it to be very uplifting and invigorating. I felt light and airy, like I was walking on clouds constantly. Like I'd literally flushed my system. Unfortunately, due to study it went out the window and only lasted a little while and I reverted to a less strict vegetarian diet that I'm still on to this day. I might add at this point I am in fact a vegetarian :-P Going on 4 years now. I love it but I still don't think that I'm getting enough freshness out of my diet. I'm very health conscious and I watch my weight vigorously (I have to keep my girlish figure!). I have a a MAJOR sweet tooth and drink a fair bit of diet cordial and use artificial sweeteners to curb it. I get slightly woozy sometimes so I don't know if it's this or that I should be eating more varied protein for 'Energy' as I end up relying too heavily on Eggs and Dairy for protein sources.

I want to look into RAW a little more and find out just how raw foodists exist solely on plant based diets with no caffeine or unnatural stimulants without falling down. I found some fantastic video's about the subject though I'm yet to discover just how Raw foodies manage to have a social life and still hang around and coexist with 'Non-Raw' eaters and *GASP* even more astonishing, 'Carnivores'.

All in all I love the idea of eating what earth has provided for our consumption. It's so lovely and wholesome.

P.S If you still are eating meat please watch Part 1 of 'Earthlings' below. A documentary narrated by Joaquin Pheonix. It demonstrates exactly how Mr. Chicken, Mrs. Cow and Master Piggy get from the land to your dinner plate. SCARY STUFF! :-S
