Foods to Eat
Use organic fruits and vegetables as they have less pollutants and chemicals. Organic food also has a higher nutritional content than non-organic commercialized produce.
Basically your diet should mostly consist of juiced, raw, frozen, or lightly steamed fruits and veggies. Corn and avocados should be avoided, white potatoes can be eaten only in moderation. Eating a variation each day will ensure you are getting enough vitamins and keep this diet as interesting as possible.
Foods to Avoid
Here is a brief list of foods to avoid while on this plan. To get the full detoxing effects, stick to the diet and be sure that you don’t cheat!
Dairy and animal products
Bread, pasta, grains, cereal
Chocolate
Nuts
Sauces
Pickled vegetables or canned fruit
Alcohol and cigarettes
Coffee and tea (except green and herbal)
Meal Plans
- Breakfast
Variations of fruit or fruit puree are great for breakfast. They are nutritious, filling and the natural sugars will give you energy to get through the morning.
To make a fruit puree, cut up your fruit and place in a pot on the stove with a small amount of water. Cover and leave it on a low heat until the fruit is soft. Now just throw it in the blender and add a squeeze of fresh lemon to taste. I also like to add a little cinnamon.
My favorite blends contain apples, plums, nectarines, pears and berries, but really anything goes. You can also mix it up a bit by using your blender to achieve different consistencies.
- Lunch & Dinner
For your main two meals its important to keep calories low but nutrition high. A vegetable puree soup is the answer. This will give you energy to get through the day and all the nutrients you need.
Cut up your vegetables, add approximately one cup of vegetable stock, and cover on a low heat until the vegetables are soft. Now throw it in the blender and spice it up with a raw clove of garlic or jalapeño pepper (only a little as it’s very spicy!). I also like to add cilantro and a little olive oil.
I like to experiment with different vegetables for this soup. Great ideas are spinach and broccoli, collard greens, zucchini, onion, carrots and sweet potatoes. Beans also make a great addition. I like to use chickpeas but be sure they are organic.
- Desserts & Snacks
This diet can sometimes leave you feeling hungry (it wouldn’t be a diet if it didn’t!), so its important to have some filling snacks around for when you need a boost.
Fruit smoothies are a great options for dessert or a snack between meals. You need to buy packs of frozen organic fruits from your supermarket. These lock all the goodness into the fruit and are very convenient. I actually find that frozen bananas taste much better in a smoothie than fresh ones so I peel ripe bananas and put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer.
Just add ice and a little water, then blend away! I like blends of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and banana. Its really up to you to find a few combinations that you love. Be creative!
- Drinks
Freshly squeezed juices are very detoxing and a great way to get some condensed nutrition into your body. Fresh juice is also packed full of enzymes which are fundamental in maintaining good health and preventing disease.
Some ideas for recipes – try playing around with these super-healthy ingredients. Cucumbers, apples, carrot, ginger, garlic, beet and broccoli.
Don’t forget to drink Green Tea. This is so effective as a diet aid because it increases your metabolism and reduces your appetite. It has also been used for more than 4000 years in Chinese medicine, to cure ailments ranging from headaches to depression.

Hi, I have mild acne and I recently found out that supposedly almost every food causes acne (dairy, oil, fats, etc.) 3 days ago i decided to eat nothing but fruits and vegetables and drink nothing but water and 100% fruit juice to attempt to cleanse my body. I can’t keep living off these foods because I love meat and sandwiches but I guess they will make my acne worse. I have not eaten chocolate, ice cream, or anything greasy such as fast food in probably 5 months. With the fruit diet I noticed a small skin imporvement but I feel less energized and light-headed constantly. I drink plent of water (6-8 cups a day). I take Proactiv for a topical treatment to couple the diet and speed up the healing process. I am going 1 more day on the diet then stopping. What are some foods I can eat other than fruits and vegetables that won’t make my acne worse? Help please? (Also, I’m 16 no complicated recipes please)

is what im eating considered as raw foods? im eating only fruits and vegetables. but i boil them sometimes and add salt. if you’re on a raw food diet or know anyone who is on a raw food diet, plz share your experience, has your health improved? i’ve been eating like this for 21 days. my goal is to be healthy and detoxify and cleanse my body
P.S. a raw food diet is eating ONLY fresh fruits and vegetables

Okay so earlier this year I started to have really weird dreams. After about two weeks I wrote down what I saw in my dreams and to me it felt like past life related sort of. So I started to do a lot of spiritual things like learn how to astral travel, meditation, the use of ki and the list goes on. It felt great and I wanted to live like this because I thought soon enough I could be connected with me subconscious better.

One thing I was reading about is that if you stop eating cooked foods and meat your spiritual vibration rises up intensely. So i started to do this and nobody in my family understands because i never told them about me being spiritually connected. Also this food diet includes that you ONLY eat raw foods fruits and vegetables and thats it along with milk too. Do you have any suggestions of how i can explain this?

Can I have a list of food included here. aside from fruits and vegetables what are included ? Is milk included ? What kind of nuts ? Can I have a recipe too.

i will only be eating raw fruits and vegetables

1) can i really eat as much fruits and vegetables (mainly vegetables) as i want or no?

I read somewhere that if you only feed parakeets seeds (like the store bought bird foods) that they only like for about 5 years due to malnourishment…rather than feeding them fresh fruits and vegetables which allows them to live their life to the fullest. Just wondering if this was true of not because ive been trying to convince my parents to let me get a parakeet but they said they don’t want to deal with it once i go to college in 3 years.

i started the raw food diet a few days ago, and i feel hungry constantly. i know fruits and vegetables are way less calories than other foods, but i feel like i’m eating so much and im not going to lose any weight. is this normal?

IM A TEEN NOT AN ADULT. FYI
i wanna go a diet, but i recently found this diet called the rawfood diet.
but as i did my reserch it says that raw foods are NOT good for bones. something like bone strength and marrow.
i would never eat raw meat, but are raw fruits and vegetables ok?
or will they weaken my bones?
i just wanna know how is this possible, and is there any other diet that works.

I usually take a microwave meal, like a Smart One or Lean Cuisine. I’m going on a raw food diet, so what fruits and vegetables should I take? Also, how can I keep them cold?
hahaha after that comment about 8-9 bananas, "bananas are 200 calories, btw"
I’m already a vegetarian! I wouldn’t just jump from carnivore to raw foodist. I’m not an idiot.

Does anyone have any raw food recipes???? Are there other things to eat besides just plain fruits and vegetables????

hi,does anybody know any quick and chep raw food recipes. i have a blender, juicer and the magic bullet. and i have like common fruits and vegetables, apples, oranges, bannas and tomatos and lettuce and carrots,nothing special. we don’t have money to get all the things needed for a raw diet, but we’re working with what we have. i need somethings i can do for dinner, and then some stuff i can do before i walk out the door to go to the bus stop, i’m mostly a fruit person, but any raw diet recipes are greatly needed!
and if u guys have any ideas about shakes. thanks you guys!
o, yea if u guys know any raw coconut ideas…….please tell me! lol, thanks! my mom is going shopping tonight or tommorrow,so please can you guys answer quickly (not demanding though)! lol

I already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables…but eating a 100% raw food diet interests me a lot lately. Does anyone know what to expect? Should I buy a juicer? Would you recommend buying a book that explains this in depth?

Thanks!
I should have added that this would be a vegetarian diet. I don’t know if milk is allowed or not..?

first off, I’m already a vegetarian. I’ve been a vegetarian for three years now, going back and forth to veganism. I’ve been studying about raw foodism for a while now, so I know about how I can get my nutrients…which doesn’t have to come from processed foods and animal products. raw foodism can be the healthiest diet if you eat the right fruits and vegetables. anyways, this is my plan:
week one: each of my meals and snack will consist of fruits and/or vegetables (cooked or raw)
week two: each of my meals and snacks will consist ONLY of fruits and vegetables (cooked or raw)
week three: at least two meals a day has to be all fresh fruits and/or vegetables (as well as snacks)
week four: at least two meals a day has to be all fresh fruits and/or vegetables (as well as snacks)
after week four everything will be raw fruits and vegetables.

ok so how do i start it? i need recipes and nutritional infor like i know you cant just eat fruits and vegetables but you also eat something else for protein or vitamins or something? show me what to do so i can start it. highest points for one person!!!
did you read my question? you still didnt answer anything i asked!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently started eating mainly raw fruits and vegetables and added spirulina, chlorella and sea kelp, Why is my skin so dry?

I recently started eating mainly raw fruits and vegetables and green foods such as, spirulina and chlorella and some sea kelp, Why is my skin so dry?

I am not 100% raw, but I definitely believe in the power of raw fruits and vegetables (I am around 80% raw, vegan, and I take b12, iron, calcium, vitamin D supplements).
The long term strict raw vegans out there look so unhealthy.
Matt Monarch, I love you, but don’t you agree that he looks sickly?
I have yet to see a truly healthy looking LONG-TERM strict raw vegan.
If you know any, please tell me.

As we all know, a raw vegan diet is the healthiest diet possible. However, do you personally know of anyone who has been on a 100% raw food diet for life? Even 10 years? I am just curious to know of people who have been on a raw food diet for a long period of time and how they are doing. I, personally, am on a 100% vegan juice diet, meaning I only drink freshly juiced fruits and vegetables.
