Tom’s Raw Foods Blog

My name is Tom Brownsword. I’m a computer security analyst with a couple of certifications (CompTIA Security+ and ISC(2) CISSP). I run a couple of computer security websites at:

The Business Protector
Simple Security Tips

I’m the father of four children and there are exactly 25 years — to the day! — between my oldest and youngest. I blog about that — sometimes — at:

Parenting 25

I’ve been intrigued with the link between health and what we eat for some time, and through a few links from a friend’s blog, I found out about Roger Haeske and his raw foods blog. He gave me a gentle push that prompted me to start his six step transition to a raw diet. This blog is part of the deal.

I think that some raw foods blogs can be a bit intimidating for somebody just starting out. For example, Roger (who has been extremely helpful thus far) has been doing the raw foods diet for years, and for somebody just starting out, that can be a bit intimidating. You think to yourself, “How in the world am I ever going to get there?”

Well, this blog starts with Day 1 of my efforts to switch to a completely raw diet. Simply start at the beginning and watch a complete newbie to a raw diet try to make the transition. One of my reasons for doing this was to give you an honest account of somebody trying to make the switch.

Please remember: this is just my online journal of my progress. Take it as that; the account of somebody making the transition. Get somebody with experience to help you and to provide you with the information you’ll need to do it right. I’m not that person. Above all, don’t decide that something I do is going to be the correct and safe thing for you to do. I don’t know you and can’t give you advice, so what I write here should not be construed as advice. We’re dealing with your health and welfare here; there’s nothing more important in my eyes and I simply don’t want to see you do something that will hurt you simply because you read about me doing it. Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for reading my blog(s), and if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, be sure to leave them on any blog post.

Smacznego!
Tom
