No no, i'm not discouraged. I have some reservations myself to the "science" behind the diet. I needed a change, and I thought this might be something to try-- challenging if nothing else. And if nothing else, this diet will make me enjoy good food even more. My plan is to try this for a few weeks and then use what i've learned to incorporate more healthy living foods into my diet. I'll certainly enjoy good food more afterwards. One of the reasons I chose raw is because of my respect for Eric F. I hope he will comment.
