Does the Raw Food Diet Work?
Sunday, April 19, 2009 13:38
There is a brand new diet sweeping America – in fact it is taking over the whole world!
It has come to be known as the raw food diet. Initially it was dismissed as just another diet fad, but as more and more people started taking it up, and more and more people begun to improve their health and lose weight with this approach people changed from dismissing it to inquiring does the raw food diet work and can it work for anyone?
The main idea of the diet is a simple one – that you should focus on eating UNCOOKED, highly nutritious foods. The idea is that the food we eat lose their nutritional value when we cook them. The simple process of heating, cooking, boiling our vegetables etc releases some of their nutritional value. So if you eat them raw all of their nutritional content is intact and they are better for you.
The food list is quite varied, but the main staples are fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds, Drinks include natural fruit juice, unpasteurized milk, water and even tea. Usually the diet excludes alcohol such as wine, beer and liquor.
The diet certainly works – if you use it as a change in lifestyle and try and adopt its principles for the long term. If you just try it for a couple of weeks and then go back to your old habits then you will put the weight back on.
Its criticisms include such that while the raw food diet may be rich in some nutrients, it has a complete lack of others. For example, if you take it literally and exclude all meats, egg, and fish from your diet then you will be seriously short of calcium, protein, and iron.
So does the raw food diet work? Well, it is probably not the best diet to do exclusively over a long period of time, but if you combine its principles with healthy meats such as chicken and turkey, reduce your red meat intake and eat some fish then you can live a healthy balanced life and lose weight while improving your health and energy levels.
Alternatively if you wish to remain vegetarian then it is important that you take extra vitamins to make up for those lacking in your diet – supplements such as vitamin B12, zinc, chromium, and copper in particular may be required.
