Lose Weight With Raw Food Diet?
December 30th, 2009I don’t know about you, but I think it would be very difficult to eat just a “raw food diet” Although there are MANY people who swear by it and profess it’s the best thing since sliced bread — oops — can’t eat that it’s not raw 
The reasoning behind a raw food diet is, it is believed that once food is cooked above 116 degrees, the food’s enzymes and nutrients are destroyed. They believe eating “living” raw foods harnesses the plants’ energy.
Now, there are some people who are 100% dedicated to a raw food diet. My husband’s friend, James’ father and mother went 100% on a raw food diet several years ago. They “juiced” everything. This was when his father was diagnosed with very HIGH cholesterol & plak in his blood.
After the year was up, blood tests revealed his cholesterol was down and plak gone. So, it may seem extreme to go this route, yet for the father, it saved him from something even more extreme — surgery and prescription drugs. After the year was over, the father and mother slowly added cooked (healthy) foods back into their diet.
Others may use a raw diet for a specific period of time to lose weight. In addition, many people combine a raw food diet with a healthy diet (balanced, low fat, low carbs), eating raw foods only on certain days of the week.
Many people do find using a raw food diet for weight loss a very successful route. The food is plentiful, with easy to find fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. There are several new cookbooks (I guess you should call them recipe books) available with delicious recipes too. If you are a bit imaginative in how you eat the foods and you get a good variety of different meals, you may have a better feeling of “fullness.”
There are even restaurants now dedicated to the raw food diet.
I have read that if you decide to go the raw food diet route, though, it should be done gradually. It could be too much of a “shock” to your system.
If you are interested in using a raw food diet to lose weight, you may wish to visit this fellow’s blog. He is blogging about his experience in shedding pounds on this diet — Fat Kid Suit.

There’s a really simple principle I take into account when going on a diet. I need to burn a lot more calories then I consume to lose weight. That’s the reason why I am certain that there is no diet without physical exercises.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Eating raw food is good but on the other hand it also has its own risks, because there might be some harmful microbes present in your food stuff which might not just go away by mere washing with raw water. That’s the main reason why doctors suggest to cook your vegetables before you eat it, to kill the bacterias and other microbes.
Raw food diet is definitely an effective way of getting back in shape. My husband has been using this diet for two years now and it is really amazing that he lost lots of pounds.

I personally enjoy Organic Vegetables because I believe they taste a lot nicer. There is also the potential health benefits or not consuming harmful pesticides.I also agree that anything that is grown in the most natural way possible will be most nutritious and healthy.I had heard tales of people still using potential harmful pesticides and still getting away with it under the organic banner which I hope is a rare case.

Hi,
Today’s life style is really very dangerous for health because we are taking to much oily and fried food so this is really a dangerous thing for health. I think taking a good and healthy diet makes the life better and interesting. So here you have presented lots of interesting tips to be very healthy.
Great information.I too have found that there is a lot of mis information on the internet about health.I find that by regular activity, such as sport, its discipline and related nutrition, food choice, and effective methods
Juicing and raw foods are fantastic, truly a natural medicine. I would however be concerned at using it for weight loss. I see the problem being that once you have lost the weight people will then go back to their former diets and lifestyle and the weight will comeback. Unless you chosse to do it forever. Any thoughts?
