How Does the Raw Food Diet Work?Nurse"s Guide
If you've been hearing more and more lately about raw foods and the raw food diet and are wondering how it works, this article will give you a basic idea of how it works.
I first became familiar with raw food diets after I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999.
I was also suffering from a lot of ailments including fibromyalgia, arthritis, sinus infections, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome and much more.
I had been hospitalized with pneumonia, had strep throat and on and on.
So my immune system was not in good shape.
Turning down conventional therapy, that is - no chemo, radiation or surgery or any drugs or medications, I turned to raw foods.
I developed my own diet based on reading what many others were doing who were eating a raw food diet.
It is really very simple.
The diet consists of fruits, vegetable, nuts and seeds - that's it.
And none of it cooked.
It may sound sparse but it is nothing but.
I can make dozens of recipes using nuts and seeds along with various fruits and veggies and all sorts of combinations of these.
The rewards are great.
For me, no more breast cancer and all my other ailments went away and I'm still in perfect health today, enjoy tremendous energy and just feel good all the time.
I only need five hours sleep a night and take no medications.
I am physically active too and thin.
If you're thinking about the raw food diet for weight loss, it's the best way to lose weight.
You won't be starving yourself because you can eat as much as you want to eat of those four food groups.
Weight drops off fast and I virtually lost weight almost overnight of about ten pounds.
It stays off too because you really adopt the raw food diet as a lifestyle once you start.
Although I eat 100% raw, of course you can choose to eat 75% to 80% raw and still benefit.
Or eating any amount of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds is going to help boost your immune system, fight off colds, the flu, ailments and diseases.
And you don't have to sign up for any expensive weight loss programs.
Once you get going and start learning the ropes you'll find you enjoy eating more simply and will still be able to putter in the kitchen and make fabulous recipes.
And your guests won't have any idea that the food they're eating is healthy.
So give the raw food diet a try.
You can design your own by studying what others are eating and there are lots of raw ebooks and books available on the subject.
Like me you'll be glad you did.
