I been transitioning for almost 6 months now. First month I started with barefoot (or in fivefingers) walking . The month after that I continued walking barefoot and also wearing fivefingers everytime I went to the gym. My third month I was out hiking in fivefingers and carefully added some barefoot running. From there I slowly, slowly but steadily increased my mileage. A couple of weeks ago I finally got hang of the form! Once I discovered how, it was a suddenly so much more easy! Now I just long for my next run!! It's awesome! I also need to figure out what to do when the snow comes =) Cheers, Jon Thanks for your reply and the friendly advice!

I know it is worth the time taken to get it right so keep us posted how your transition works for you, just remember to take it slow and build into it Hey Thanks JB great to hear you have good results from a minimalist running style.

I am not one that measures a raw diet on a dogmatic level, there is more than the food its self that constitutes a raw food life style. You are so correct 80% raw is a great start, it would fall into a category of high raw. If you head to the local markets I am sure you will pick up on the locals diet and will be able to source good produce. Portugal sounds like an exciting adventure for you look forward to hearing about your raw food journey Yes Susanne, being as we as a species are designed to live in a warm climate, cold weather is a challenge.

The reason I had to take breaks was the climate. In winters with frost it was impossible for me to keep warm. Now that I am in the Algarve (Portugal) I am on a 80% raw foot diet, it has been working now for 7 weeks. Not a lot but a good start for me. Coming from a cold climate not only the food is new to me also how to survive when it is hot and a new language. I am a nutrition counsellor and am aware of getting all the "extra" fat :-) Looking forward to exchanging more info about your raw food diets. I have tried raw food diets several times in the past.
