I'm getting ready for the Raw Living Expo this weekend (Jan 31st - Feb 2nd) in Thousand Oaks by re-introducing myself to the raw diet. This morning I made myself a raw smoothie with banana, vanilla raw meal powder, almonds, almond milk, and raw honey.
I'm going all for the next couple of days as much as I can. Usually I integrate and balance raw foods with cooked, veggies with little bits of meat. Personally I choose not to do an all raw diet all the time. I opt for a proportional balance to maintain. With raw being more than 50% of my diet. I believe raw food cleanses are the way to go, over the period of time that you see fit for yourself. That could be one day to 6 months. Whatever is cleaver.
But I have noticed over the years as I have been in the Conscious and Raw food communities that some of the hard core raw foodies start to deteriorate over time. Either they are not properly balancing the nutrients in their raw diet to get enough protein or maybe their body type really isn't suited for an all raw diet. As I've seen big muscular men loose their muscle and become really skinny. This is not a good or bad thing, it is just something to be aware of when consciously being on the raw food diet. This can be great if you are over weight and want to loose those pounds. But I'm talking about men with near perfect physic, loose their sexy manly muscle curves along with attractive masculine energy in trade for an over all more feminine appearance. Now this can also be a great thing if a man is too muscular like an extreme body builder with too much testosterone and ego running through his body and personality. This is who the raw food cleanse is perfect for. So he can tone that down.
And when you switch to the raw food diet or cleanse, you do become more loving, more aware of energies, and more in touch with your femininity. Which is great! The world needs more of that. But if you are a man, please don't over do it and keep a balance. Because not only can this have effects on your masculine/ feminie energies but your physical health as well.

Take Dan the Man for example, who on youtube documented his raw food transition and promoted a 100% raw lifestyle. After being on the diet for a number of years he recently had health issues and no longer promotes a 100% raw food diet.
It's all about balance and integration.

Even my vegan chef house mate has balance. She'll cook vegan for gatherings or she'll prep it raw style. Like last nights meal with the hommies, we had raw lasagna which included, thinly slices beats, cucumber, and two amazing raw spreads. I didn't make it, sorry don't know what was in it but it was awesome! And super filling. With raw food you really don't have to eat as much because all the nutrients is alive and living giving you more of what your body needs. Verses cooked food that has some of the nutrients cooked out when heated to temperatures over 115 degrees.
