Where is the proof?

[lodestar]

100 days at 100%--more like 80+ perfect days. me me me...I'm the proof! I've lost around twenty pounds. My size 10 clothes are pretty baggy-saggy. I feel great, look much better and on Dec. 29th felt like ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY! Sorry to scream, but that's just how frustrated I was with myself.
So my dear raw friends... my success is your success. You gave me the support when toast and hot-chocolate called out on those snowy winter mornings.
Thank you! I am truly grateful. xox

druid,

I hope you did not take what I said as being nasty, or arrogent. I was not meant in that way. I guess I wanted for you to maybe look deep inside, because when I was having doubts about raw food, it was because every one around me was critizing me about it and therfore I started to doubt.

I thought maybe you might be having that problems because you said:

Its seriously not worth the effort!

Druid, I just wanted to say that I think your questions are good valid questions that a lot of people wonder about. I know raw makes me feel good, I know raw has done amazing things for others, but I also know that it's nice to see the mainstream world validate the lifestyle choice.

I'm subscribed to several different online news feeds and I'm always picking up on the studies that link vegetables and fruits to health, or nuts and seeds to cancer prevention. Sometimes I post them on my personal blog, but often I keep them to myself. With your simple post you inspired me to start a new blog, just for sharing the "proof" information I come accross in my never-ending reading.

I called it "Prove Me Rawng", because we can never have enough funny misspelled words that use the word "Raw" in them! I'm pro-raw, and the posts will reflect that, but I aim to have a high percentage of them link to unbiased studies and mainstream media. I already have a weeks worth of posts in my 'drafts'!

Gosia, your posts were extremely helpful and I'll be sharing several of your sources on my site. I hope that's alright. To others that shared links and book recommendations I've jotted them all down too!

Alissa, I hope you don't see this as an offence. In a way, I like to think I'm helping to take the debate away from the support forum like you suggested.
