excellent article on diet</p>

Through experimentation I found that the best diet I've tried so far is an  <b>all-raw, whole foods, vegan diet</b> .  <b> No caffeine. No supplements</b> . No sugar. No artificial or processed foods. No junk. There are some great all-raw (un)cookbooks, and there's even a gourmet raw food restaurant near my home, so I enjoy some pretty creative dishes on this diet. I can see by my notes that this way of eating left me feeling more energetic, emotionally positive, and mentally clear than any other diet I've tried. But I continue to experiment and have been doing so since the early 90s. One thing I don't like about the all-raw diet is that it can be labor intensive if you want to eat a variety of interesting dishes. Lots of chopping and mixing and blending and dehydrating and juicing. If I had my own personal chef to set to the task, this is how I'd eat all the time. But I find that adding in  <b>some denser cooked foods like brown rice is helpful</b> . It fills me up faster and saves me time without giving up too much of the energy benefits. The nice thing about this way of eating is that I can eat as much as I want without gaining weight.</p>
