When should You Go on a Raw Food Weight Loss Diet?
How would you like to drop up to 7 pounds/week with raw food weight loss diet? No cravings or denial... you won't get hungry on this diet!
Raw food weight loss - a more relaxed version of the Negative Calorie Diet Plan - refers to eating only organic raw vegetables, fruits, sprouted seeds and grains, nuts, herbs and spices - in a big diversity of salads, juices and shakes, or smoothies.
You should know that raw foods are highly effective not only at losing weight, but as a whole body cleanse too.
In fact, they are so effective that it inspired the popular 21-day Martha’s Vineyard (MV) Detox Diet.
You can’t stay on MV Diet forever (not even for a couple of months) but it will get you up to 21 pounds thinner in 21 days.

You may be wondering how you can lose so much weight in just 3 weeks?
Well, the raw food weight loss diet works so well mainly because most vegetables and many fruits are alkaline. This may be a new idea to you, but one of the biggest causes you are overweight is that your body is acidic. As with all alkaline diets, as soon as you change your body’s pH from acidic to alkaline, you start to lose weight effortlessly.
So if you’re feeling tired or lethargic most of the time - on top of being frustrated with your extra weight, consider eating your way to losing weight with all-raw, nutritious foods and enjoy the many extra benefits.
Benefits of a Raw Food Weight Loss Diet
Yes, it takes some commitment to "go raw", but with a raw foods diet:
there is little effort involved on your part
you don’t need to measure food and count calories
your metabolism gets increased
you feel full longer due to the rich fiber content
you have more energy from the natural nutrients
you get well-hydrated due to their high water content
you save time, as preparation time is less than cooking time
More than anything else, the raw foods diet is a natural detox during which you lose a great amount of fat because you eliminate the toxins stored in your fat cells. Plus, you get energized and rejuvenated at the same time.
In just a few weeks, raw foods, which are high in enzymes and fiber, reduce your body’s acidity, which is mainly responsible for your weight gain. Raw foods are easily metabolized, boosting your metabolism and nourishing every single cell of your body with valuable fresh nutrients.
So besides losing weight, on the raw food weight loss diet you also get to:
feel energized
lower cholesterol
stabilize blood sugar
get clear, radiant skin
eliminate food cravings
eliminate flues and colds
eliminate eating disorders
normalize blood pressure
look and feel 10 years younger
feel rested and refreshed with less sleep
In short, you feel so good on the raw food weight loss diet that after you’ve lost the extra weight you may even decide to become a "raw foodist", incorporating raw animal products like: raw eggs, raw aged cheese, raw fish (cured, cold smoked or sashimi), and raw meat (aged, cold smoked, carpaccio, steak tartare, or filet Americain).
And if you think that eating raw meat is gross, think again. Many people including celebrities like, Demi Moore, Uma Thurman, Gordon Ramsay and Natalie Portman advocate that eating raw meat makes you healthier.
However, not all cuts of meats are acceptable and not all meats can be eaten raw, so if you decide to start eating raw meat, you must learn specific storage and preparation techniques and find a reliable supplier, as you won’t be able to get the meats you need from your local supermarket.
Becoming a "raw foodist" is a personal choice and you may think it is a bit extreme. However, the fruit - nuts - vegetable version is worth a try - the raw food weight loss diet might do wonders for your figure and your health.
