Hi there,
I've been dabbling with raw foods for the last couple of years - hence my various "rounds" of eating raw. (more on that here http://pepitas.wordpress.com) The longest I've ever done 100% was a little over 3 weeks last November. I'm going to start the 30 day raw challenge (so cool! just discovered this.) and that will be my longest stretch raw yet.
My husband has become an ideological raw food convert over the past year He yo-yos between a raw diet and cheeseburgers but he is completely sold that this is the healthiest way to eat. He has high blood pressure and suffers from allergies. So he's really been wanting to try being 100% raw for an extended time period to see if that helps.
We have a 10 month old cat and recently moved into a small studio apt in the city and his allergies have gotten worse. So, either the allergies have to go or the cat does. I'm crossing my fingers that the raw diet will help them both!
So, while I haven't been able to keep it up in the past for my own health, I'm hoping I can do it in solidarity for our cat.
So far, so good!
