I just want to say that many of the experts I've heard from, and most of the people I know who maintain a raw lifestyle, have made a transition to raw, they didn't just decide to go 100% raw one day.

I know going 100% one day works for some people, but it doesn't work for a lot of people. It sure didn't work for me!

But gradually increasing raw, gradually finding great recipes, gradually understanding how much better my body feels eating a salad, eating that vegi pizza and feeling how my body didn't respond well to it, all of those things are making me be more successful being 100% raw.

For myself, when I was trying to be 100% raw, I was essentially "forcing" myself to do it - and after a while I rebelled! I ate all kinds of stuff. But transitioning, now I'm CHOOSING to eat raw, because it feels so much better - there's nothing to rebel against, no craving within me to eat those other things. I just plain don't want them.

Just FWIW.
