If you have been researching best ways to lose diet fast, you may have come across information about raw food diet. There seems to be of confusion out there about raw foods - many people who try to eat raw diet end up eating in an unhealthy way and don’t see the results that they wish for, so here is my take on this.
I strongly believe that eating low fat raw food diet - comprised of mostly raw fruits, vegetables, and greens, with some nuts and seeds - is an amazing way to increase your energy levels, slow down aging, promote health and reverse disease. Low fat means consuming less than 10% of calories from fats. Giving up eating junk food and cooked foods is truly a fountain of youth, and probably the best diet for humans.
Of course it’s not easy to eat this way, and I am not a 100% raw foodist myself. It’s hard to change your habits that have been cultivated for years - especially if you are still expected to cook for the whole family! However, just increasing consumption of raw foods to 60-80% of what you eat will still produce amazing results. See the list below for just a selection of benefits that eating raw food diet - even just for a few days or weeks - can produce for you. Don’t just trust me on this - give it a try!
Many people who may have heard about the health benefits of eating a raw foods, think that eating raw is boring. For many people it seems unthinkable to give up pizza, Chinese, or Italian food, pasta, hot dogs, french Fries, barbecue, donuts, ice cream, fresh bread and other traditional foods.
Many people are worried about meeting their nutritional needs on a raw food diet. For example, they are worried that they will not be gettin enough protein, vitamin D and B12. They believe that our bodies require complex carbohydrates from breads, potatoes and starchy food for long-lasting energy, as well as animal protein to meet our protein needs. Others may be afraid of eating large amounts of fruit because of the ”dangers” of eating sugar or carbohydrates.
I will be addressing these concerns in the future, but today I just want to inspire you to give this type of diet a try:
