It was taken from his blog post June 2009. When I read it, I immediately felt I had to share because everything he wrote is exactly how I feel. It's so great to be put into words. Love you Chris! :)

Great post! I LOVE it. ;o)
I've been on hard core medication for three years now for some kind of "top of the stomach hernia" thing. Eating has become a nightmare!
But I've discovered that raw foods don't hurt my stomach! It's amazing! So I'm eating a lot more raw fruit and veg, nuts, seeds, smooties. Getting away from too much milk, yogurt, fats, chocolate (chocolate hurts my stomach!!) Using olive oils, goat butter, very little sugar although I'm not fanatical about it. Trying soy milk...
I've already started losing weight. It's nothing short of amazing!
I've also discovered that I am not good at eating meals. I work best eating small amounts of food throughout the day. Grazing? And the raw foods accomodate this perfectly.
Now the only big challenge that stands in my way is learning to prepare vegetarian and vegan dishes. I end up starving and fumbling around trying to cook and that is a pest! But now I snack on a few nuts beforehand to hopefully hold me over.
Going to buy a soup maker. I'm not 100% raw. But I need to make things faster as I'm cooking one set of meals for Erlend and one type for me. It's a pain in the neck doing two different foods... but I hope to win him over too. He has heavy fat fat fat red meat EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!
