Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.

She isn't all raw anymore (still high) but now she can eat so many more things than she used to and she even tolerated a rare glass of wine! A huge deal for her:)
As you've probably started to figure out, there are many raw factions who all claim that there is one right way (theirs, of course;) In my experience, different things work for different people.
The thing that helped me was finding those who seemed to have similar issues and body type as me and listening to what was working for them and then trying it out myself:)
Now, because I'm healing from long term adrenal fatigue, I probably have somewhat different and slightly higher protein requirements that many.
I get my protein from eggs, goat cheese and raw goat's milk protein powder, fish and small amounts of meat. Not everyone needs meat or even fish, but I actually started having dreams that were telling me to eat meat, after 16 years without it!
I currently follow a moderate/high raw (like 50-70%) low sugar/starch paleo style diet and this is working great for me. My protein is in the 45-60 gm/day range. I'm finally losing flab without losing muscle like I did on raw.
The book I follow is called "Primal Body, Primal Mind" and I learned a lot from it (and I have over 15 years of nutritional study and healthy diet behind me, so that's saying a lot, LOL!)
If you are interested in reading some great articles on the raw diet and people's experiences with it (what worked, what didn't), here are two sites:

I'm not trying to indoctrinate anyone- I just wish I had known a lot of this stuff before I spent so much time going in directions that, ultimately, did not support my health.
My advice is to keep an open mind, do your research, listen to your body and don't get sucked into dogma:) Good luck on your health journey!!
I was saying that the typically low protein raw veg diet can do a real number on digestive ability so that you lose the ability to digest many foods. The high fruit diets seem to be the worst.
I have several friends who had very impaired digestion after raw (esp the ones who went through a fruit phase) and now they have good digestion and are no longer reactive to foods after changing the proteins they eat and not eating 100% raw (although they still eat high raw.)
I hope that is a more helpful answer:) I didn't just state it in my post because these observations tend to prove really unpopular on this forum and people will really jump down your throat, LOL! And I don't like conflict!
