Is my diet really enough? or Should I eat 100% raw?

Today my energy level is not as good as it was before. I've started questioning my diet. Is it really enough or 100% raw is the only way. Yesterday I had some mushroom barley soup and today I cooked a delicious four-beans salad. Could that cause a problem? Pimples still appear but they are very tiny, mostly whiteheads. I'm pretty sure that diet works, but it might not be strict enough.

Found this interesting forum about amazing results with raw food diet and specifically someone's experience with going raw just a  few days ago for treating acne. I'm so confused. I thought that low GI food is the key and eating tons of fruits with high GI would be harmful. Apparently some people were able to eliminate acne by eating 100% raw with tons of fruits, especially bananas, which have medium/high GI.

Starting tomorrow I'll keep writing down and posting here everything I eat during the day. I might go completely raw starting Monday, 10.01.2011, or at least try to eat more fruits and vegetables and less cooked food.

Currently I'm searching for a good book that can explain the basics of raw food diet. There are tons of books that make it look very complicated with gourmet recipes that require dehydrator, etc. I need something that works and doesn't take tons of time to prepare. Moreover I want to understand why raw diet works, an how it works. 80/10/10 diet book by Dr. Graham has many positive reviews and seems interesting. I'll try to find it and read it.

I must say I'm very inpatient :) I should give the diet I'm on a little bit more time, not just a week. I know that it's working but I always want to look for a better solution. For now I'll just try eating more vegetables and fruits. Wish me luck!

I've started losing weight, 4-5 pounds so far, but it's already noticeable on my petite figure. I don't limit the amount of food I eat. I eat as much as I want and whenever I want. Strange... Don't really want to lose more weight :( Hopefully my body will adjust to this diet soon and I'll keep a stable weight level.
