I did not mean to imply it was anything wrong with being raw vegan. It is just not my preference. I live in a cold climate and so I enjoy having hot meals.
That brain fog issue sounds like you were missing something, did you test yourself? I am sure if you miss your old diet you can still do it with some additions. As mentioned in the article B12 is important.

In my case I changed only diet. This in turn changed me so that I could move more. Both of those things changed how I sleep. Which again feeds back into new changes about my mood and goals. I do not think I could have started with one of the other changes and end up here. Especially in my own circumstance.

It has been very amusing having long discussions with my cardiologist trying to explain to him the changes I did as he could not believe the data he was getting.
