Does anyone here do the raw food thing? I've had a couple of friends tell me its amazing...that you're energy is through the roof. My energy is low these days and I'd like to be trimmer, more healthy. It seems like it would be difficult to be so stringent. What style of eating works for all of you out there?

I've tried on and off to do the "raw food thing" here in Korea and have failed miserably every time

The things is, fruits and vegetables are SOOO expensive here, and you basically have to rule out every single restaurant. You have to have such discipline. The apartment has such a ridiculous little excuse for a kitchen that trying to put something together is very difficult, too.

What I have been trying to do is a fruit and vegetable juice fast for a few days every once in a while. I'm a stress eater, so when I get home at night after work at 11 oclock and I'm exhausted and crabby, I usually just end up eating junk food....

If you're disciplined, and pretty healthy already, and dont mind making the effort every day, I think it's one of the best things you could do for yourself.

Good luck if you decide to go for it!
