Hi Cindy:

I totally agree with Jen. It was a couple of years ago that I came across the raw food diet.

Since SPII, I find that I'm eating most of my non-starchy veggies raw and lightly steam them for dinner. I also try to eat a cooked starchy veggie (lightly steamed) each day.

I just read Dr. Wilson's book and he said the same thing that Jen says. You need to eat a variety of cooked and uncooked veggies to maximize your nutrients in order to heal your adrenal glands.

The raw food diet only gets about 10% of their intake from protein so, like Jen, I also think it is potentially dangerous. I would bet there are a lot of failure to thrive raw foodists out there.

I can't remember where I read that you had decreased your meat intake so wondered if it would marry well with the raw food diet (maybe in your journal). I would suggest maybe following the vegetarian component of SP for the meals you eat without meat.

HTH,
Wanda
