DIET:
RAW: The Uncookbook, New Vegetarian Food for Life
By Juliano, with Erika Lenkert

IN THEIR WORDS:
“I invented a whole new food, perfect for us and the planet. Everything on my diet is served raw. You can have cheeseburgers, pizza and burritos, but they’re made from purple cabbage leaf, mushrooms and coconut flesh.”

THE WEIGHT OF THE MATTER:
Him? 165. His book? Would not disclose.

MY DIET CAN BEAT YOUR DIET:
“All the other diets are bullshit. Everything in a package ruins the planet, and all those guys want is to sell you something.”

THE SKINNY ACCORDING TO DIANE QUAGLIANI OF THE AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION:
“If you don’t eat meat, fish and dairy, it’s difficult to get sufficient iron, zinc and calcium. The book says you can’t eat anything heated above 120 degrees because cooking destroys enzymes, but a healthy person can digest all foods: cooked and raw.”

THE FOLLOWUP:
Restaurant based in San Francisco, with branches to come.

ENDORSED BY:
Woody Harrelson, Robin Williams
