It's a challenging diet to maintain, as it can get kind of dull sometimes, and it can be a bit difficult to maintain nutritional requirements. That said, it can be healthy and certainly good for dieting. There are a few raw food cookbooks out there, which can help. In NYC there are (if they're still around) a couple of good raw food restaurants.

I went on the raw food diet for ONE whole year. It entails raw fruits veggies, sprouted grains and beans andyou can eat dehydrated things that were made under 118 degrees. the point is that above that temperature the enzymes start to die in the food. I have to say I felt great on this diet, didnt have any more body odor, lost a lot of unnecessary weight didnt feel tired, everything was so clean, had like 3 BMs a day...I don't think its a diet that you should have for the rest of your life, esspecially when your jewish:) but for a cleansing period its a great thing to do. I'd be happy to answer any questions you had. I think its important to eat prbably 60-70% raw and the rest steamed veggies brown rice. Currently im a vegetarian that eats fish and eggs but I dont eat meat chicken or dairy. my kitchen is totally PAREVE!!

This doesn't relate to the raw food diet, but a well-known NYC raw food chef-restauranteur used to expose himself to women on the subway, until one of them snapped a photo with her phone and posted it on the internet. It takes the concept of "in the raw" to a new level.

Good point! I guess they should be called Raw Food prepbooks?

I watch this show called "Top Chef," and one time, in the finale, the best cook in the group made a meal that consisted of raw fish, raw this, raw that. He's not a raw foodie, but it's just what he did. The head just said, "He didn't cook anything! This is a cooking show," and booted him.
