I started out wanting to go raw for a week, but then I thought, "Hey, I could go longer." And I just keep going and going and going! :) Cooked foods are losing their appeal, for the most part. :) Ooh, sprouting lentils! I didn't realize that could be done! I've sprouted alfalfa, adzuki, mung and broccoli seeds. I've gotta try lentils. Thanks for the great idea. Cosmic that you should have stumbled upon the raw poster at random. Good thing for those courses! Good luck on your journey and I hope to hear back from you again. Laura-Jane Dear Fran,

I just started the raw journey this Aug. 31st. It was just to be a 2 week challenge to myself. But as of this date I am raw. I shed 14 lbs (which was not my goal). I feel wonderful, on the inside! Lighter, satisfied. Alert. I stumbled across raw quite by accident myself. I visited a local health food store and found a flyer about a lecture on raw foods. So I went. From there I challenged myself to those 2 weeks. I have no desire to stop raw and look forward to uncooking my foods for lunch and dinner. Venturing into making raw desserts now and then. Experimenting. I even sprout my own lentils. My best, Fran Laura-Jane,

I believe that my mother-in-law came to raw foods a bit by accident. I think the story goes that she was in a grocery store which carried a small book by a local writer, <a href="http://www.rawrose.com" rel="nofollow">Raw Rose</a>. My mother-in-law leafed through the book and thought, "Yes, this sounds <i>right</i>." It was the <i>perfect</i> time for my mother-in-law (MIL) to come across such a book. Her energy had been quite low and she was looking to make a change in her life. She went home, read the book from cover to cover, and was totally inspired. I find it fascinating that I had been a vegetarian for nine years and am a pretty healthful and self-aware person but I had never even HEARD of the raw food diet or raw veganism until my MIL told me what she was doing. We need to get the word out! Thanks again for your comment, Chuck. Hi Chuck,

I'm curious, how did your in-laws first hear about raw foods, and what convinced them to give it a try? How commendable of them!
