Getting on the Raw Food Diet Immediately

I have been looking for a new diet to get me to lose weight.  I am currently over 200 pounds and feel terrible.  I know that a lot of it is my fault, but to be honest I just have not had a plan.  The moment that i first heard about the raw food diet I knew that I had found something that I could really get into.  The diet just makes sense to me.  Other diets seem like they are trying to mess with the natural way of life.  But this diet is natural and is very simple to follow.
