However, like you mentioned, both Dr. Walker and Dr. Bisci talk about the importance of what is left out of the diet (refined, processed food) being more important than what is added in (raw, living food). As a lifelong dieter, the freedom of eating GREEN for me has been <i>not</i> counting points, calories, fat grams, carbs, etc. There's been no sense of deprivation or restriction. And <i>that</i> has been incredibly healing for me. I’ve read quite a bit by Dr. Norman Walker and Dr. Fred Bisci, two longtime raw foodists who also advocate CR.
