I've been trying to eat about 70% raw food. It's hard with my nephew
visiting, who's growing and eating tempting food all the time. I'll
resume my diet in a week when he leaves. But I did lose like 8 pounds
in my first 2-3 weeks of eating primarily raw fruits and vegetables,
and was just starting to get into "green smoothies"

You're thinking about trying raw food?

Hi Rex! I've just spent a hour on your site and was fascinated. Are you still on your raw food diet? Did you notice a difference? I've been interested in this diet for some time.

nice!

i think that you can already feel a noticeable difference; I'm guessing you felt good about eating right, and not “bloated or guilty”… the absence of negative feelings might not be noticeable because you're too busy feeling good

as for reduced stress… it's easy to adopt the attitudes of people around us, but not necessarily the best way. Inspirational speakers such as wayne dyer and tony robbins speak of feeling deep gratitude simply for life, being, and breathing. In my experience I've confirmed that reality – we can be ecstatic with what we have. Breath is a present of the present that appreciates with presence. And clearly without breath how can we appreciate the love, success, etc…?

camus said that the only serious question was whether you want to commit suicide. seems relevant to me because when we feel stressed it seems like we're acting like we are not accepting life in its entirety. of course if someone asked would you rather be alive and have many finals or dead, you'd pick life

you might notice that nearly all your decisions are between better and better not good or bad or bad or worse

we're more response-able than we know

That's freaking awesome man. I'm "going green" too as they call it now these days. Everything from reusing, recycling (still getting to that other "R") eating organic, avoiding harsh cleaning chemicals, etc.. I fall off here and there (*sips Mt. Dew*) but overall I'm doing pretty good.
