The Raw Food Diet - Is It All Its Cooked Up To Be?
The Raw Food Diet as you probably assume from it’s name is based on the concept of eating uncooked foods, mainly vegetables and fresh fruit. Followers of this diet believe that cooking food destroys vital nutrients and eliminates things in the food that are good for the body such as enzymes. You can have some cooked food while on this diet but most of your food consumption must consist of raw foods. This type of diet is more of a long term way to change your eating habits and become healthier than a short term weight loss plan. Studies have shown that people who stay with a raw food diet lose weight, have more energy and fewer digestive problems.
