Agreed on your points there about calories coming from raw foods. For the record, I disagree with the aspect of the “Paleo diet” that says to not eat grains. All cultures around the world have some grain as a staple of their diet that provides them with the calories they need. At one point in time when I was into a high protein-low carb thing, if I didn’t have any bread or rice, I’d feel so hungry. Go ask a person in Africa to not eat cornmeal or rice, and they won’t have any food after that – sometimes that’s all they have.
As far as the post-fast diet being the most important, isn’t the actual fast the most important? Sure, the diet after is part of the whole cleansing process, but my impression is that the physiological process the body goes through during fasting resets things and reinvents our bodies, and the raw food diet is icing on the cake. I don’t see why, physiologically speaking, after a fast eating or not eating grains would make a difference with Propecia problems?
