While visiting Santa Cruz and SF a couple times we tried raw eateries and found VERY different from the "usual" vegan fare. Not bad or good...just really really different. I, like you, have a total sweet tooth and struggle with being a vegan which is suppose to be healthy and struggling to lose an extra few (ok 20lbs) pounds. One of my joys is being able to eat out, and I have finally found a pretty good little list of choices in our small hick town for vegan eats. I think the nearest raw place would be a 2-3 hour drive. Not sure I could really live with that. My hat is off to you. While visiting Santa Cruz and SF a couple times we tried raw eateries and found VERY different from the “usual” vegan fare.

Despite not being a vegan (although I'm close to it), I find that these kinds of diets do wonders for many physiological aspects. If you want to maintain a healthy wait yet eat as much as you want then diets like this are good. The only thing I can think to watch out for is your iron intake, which you can get from raw spinach anyway which goes lovely on a raw salad. I just feel that a raw diet isn't very filling, but that's probably because I'm so used to having processed foods. Keep everyone updated on it though to see how you manage.
