Raw Food Diet Plans

Raw Food Diet Plans
Before you begin a raw food diet plan it will help to understand what might be found on the list. There are many who find a raw food diet plan to be the right thing for weight loss, but as with any diet you should seek a medical professional before starting it. There can be consequences you are not aware of from a raw food diet.



A raw food diet plan does not have to contain raw meat. If you have this misconception be aware that raw foods are more than uncooked meat. Instead it is more about the vegetables, fruits, and other foods that exist. Raw simply means it has not been cooked or doctored in anyway. If you were to pick up a carrot, grate off the skin and eat it you would be eating a raw carrot.



In the raw food diet plan, there can be extremes. Some individuals will actually drink raw eggs; eat uncooked meat, and much more. You do not have to go to these extremes in a raw food diet plan. Any fruit such as tomato, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and more can be used as part of the raw food diet plan.



Vegetables such as leafy greens, carrots, beets, potatoes, and more can be eaten raw. In fact any plant food like avocados, olives, coconuts, and seeds are part of a raw food diet plan. These foods do not have to be cooked or doctored in any way to be enjoyed. Instead they are just as good naturally.



If you do this raw food diet plan, you will want to watch out for a few things. Too many nuts can be an issue. They are high in fiber like the seeds. They are also more difficult to digest in a raw food diet plan. It is best to have leafy greens along with the nuts in order to break down the foods in your stomach. Your body does need protein, so you should try to find raw foods that allow for a well balanced meal including enough protein. You do not want to damage your body.
