He Lost 200 Pounds on a Raw Food Diet

Philip McCluskey shares about the challenges he faced in the early months of his transition away from the Standard American Diet to a diet of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Besides having to buy clothes continuously as his body size rapidly changed, his family was his greatest challenge. Concerned that he was losing weight too fast, and that he was depriving himself of necessary nutrition (probably protein), family and friends tried to persuade him to eat meat. He describes how they put a plate of meat in front of him and pleaded with him to eat it.

Watch how he managed that emotional pressure, persevered, and succeeded. Hear how his life has changed as a result of reaching his ideal body weight.

I have met Philip McCluskey and heard his story in person. His videos inspired me early on in my transition away from processed foods and grains. Great job, Philip and thanks for sharing your story!
