Overcoming Obesity and the USA Presidential Primaries: January 17, 2008 Broadcast.

My name is Philip McCluskey and my raw journey started when I reached
400 lbs!
Practically overweight from birth, I never knew a time when I was a
normal weight. After 30 failed diet attempts I thought gastric
bypass surgery was my only hope. I went through all the tests and
was ready to have it done when something inside me said, “don’t do
it.” At that point I knew that there had to have been one other
option that I must have missed… and that is when I discovered RAW FOODS!
I decided to switch to raw overnight, literally eating fast food one
day, and 100% raw vegan the next. That was a little over 1.5 years
ago and to date I have lost 140 lbs. Besides my shrinking waistline,
I also noticed beautiful emotional and mental changes taking place,
along with a new level of consciousness I never dreamed of.
That is when I decided to start a website called Lovingraw.com, to
document my weight loss success with YouTube videos, before and after
pictures, and weekly blogs. After being written up on various raw
food sites and through newspapers I started to receive tons of emails
from other people needing help. I now offer free advice and answer
questions for people struggling with similar issues. I have also
started writing my first autobiographical book documenting my
transformation. My journey has only just begun…
