A " switch went off " for Philip McCluskey when he started eating a raw

vegan diet a year and a half ago. Ultimately he lost 130 pounds, down

from his " max weight " of 400, and now feels " happier and lighter "

inside and out.

 

At 5-foot-10 he wants to slim down to 200, but conquering obesity is

only part of the story, says McCluskey.

 

The Danbury native changed his diet overnight, leaving behind a

regimen of " highly processed food " that often consisted of " dollar

meals " from a fast-food restaurant. A typical order was " a couple of

chicken sandwiches, large fries and a milk shake, " items he now

considers " fake foods. " These days he prefers to savor only raw

fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and seaweed for every meal.
