Steve Pavlina’s Raw Food Diet Link List
27 Mar
A direct inspiration for the eating portion of the Getting A Six-Pack Experiment is Steve Pavlina’s 30 day raw food diet.
He has one of the largest blogs on the entire interweb, yet for some reason this goofy mofo made it really damn hard to navigate his 30 day trial. So I’m adding all the posts here (mainly so I can reference things I liked):

For his 30-day trial he decided to eat raw foods for different reasons than I:
He cares about saving animals /// I don’t really care
He was loading up between 2,000 and 3,000 calories /// I will be staying well under 1,500 almost every day
He did a lot of research /// I’m going with the little I know
He did it to learn to eat better /// I’m doing it to get a raging six-pack
He calls it a “30 Day Trial” /// I can it an “Experiment”
He’s never had alcohol and has a family at home /// I live in America’s Hardest Drinking City: Austin, TX. and go out with friends regularly
He was eating only raw foods /// I can eat whatever I want, so long as in calories < out calories.
Even though our methods will be different, I must fully accredit Steve P. with opening my eyes to the fact YOU CAN EAT A LOT OF FRUIT. I simply didn’t realize that before.
In my weight loss by accident post you can see the exact point where his 30-day experiment influenced me.
Another great resource on what’s “Good” for you is this amazing Dr. Klaper speech:
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
So his 30 day trial inspired me, now onwards with the experiment….
Thank you for not making YOUR experiment pompous and so completely self serving. Pavlina’s ‘trial’ was a very difficult read when trying to separate it from the rest of the BS.
I liked his experiment. He has a different style than mine, and it was a long read…but I FOLLOWED his experiment as he was doing it, so it didn’t seem as long.
I can’t imagine going back and reading all 30+ posts now.
His was more about eating raw foods only…mine is more about achieving a specific result, and that simply HAPPENS to involve eating a lot of raw food for their low calories and high nutritional value (in fact I just had meat and sushi this past Friday)!
Will you be posting your progress on a weekly basis? I’m sure you’ll write a follow-up post once you’re done, but a few updates in between would make for interesting reading.

Thanks for putting his posts in such a nice order. I’ve tried his plan, with fantastic results..both in body shape change as well as general well-being.
Great….glad you got a lot of value out of it. It IS rather difficult to navigate on his site!
