I have been eating mostly raw for over a year and a half. I say mostly because I don't want to be so strict that I become unsocial, or unable to eat anything but raw when I am out with friends etc. I am fairly strict though about cutting out refined sugar and even fruit, but that is because I battle high blood sugar.
Bottom line I have lost 25 lbs and kept it off, and gotten my blood sugar down low enough that I don't have to take a daily oral medication. My doctor was impressed with my progress and gave me his blessing. Love the simple raw diet!!!

James, so happy for you and glad that your doctor is impressed and supportive also. The diabetic products industry is huge and growing. I can only hope that more people can do as you have done and change their life and heal with raw.
