I am already a vegan purley for moral reasons. I am now thinking of turning to a all raw food diet as well, for health reasons. DOes anyone only eat raw foods? how is it for you? can you maybe make a list of foods for one or 2 days for me to test the waters? ex: breakfest:…
lunch:….
dinner:…
*snacks
thank you so much
btw, I am not doing this to lose weight!
i have to go on a detoxification for about a week, and eat raw foods. what things can i eat, besides the obvious like fruit and veggies??? any tips? also, how could i get at least a little bit of protien?
i have a 9month old GSD and i wanted to put him on raw foods, but its just way too confusing for me. He weighs over 60lbs now, so how do i know how much to give him? does anyone have any recipes with exact measurements that i can use? (instead of 80% veggies, and 10% meat, 10% grains, as some people like to put it…. i want ozs, lbs, cups ect)
any helps would be great:) thanks
i feed him Canidea, and im pretty happy with it. But dogs have been eating raw food since the dawn off time, and i figure its probably the best thing for him at this point
thanks for the answers:) i’ll look into the group. for the person who asked about the specific breed food, im not sure either. :)
i was advised to eat raw foods for one week to detoxify my body due. just wondering, approx. how much weight is expected to be lost if it is done for a whole week?
Is there a web site that shows which raw foods are enzyme inhibiting and which
ones are not? Supposedly raw foods (at least some raw foods) cause the
pancreas to secrete more enzymes. But then I don’t know what it means when they
say raw foods are full of amino acids in the form of enzymes, but then at the
same time can cause problems with needing more enzymes,where you thought if they
were full of enzymes it wouldn’t take as many enzymes to digest them. It’s
totally beyond my understanding.. sorry for confusing everyone.
Nearly everyone thinks I look much better, more fit since I went to a mostly
raw diet, and I’ve increased weight that I"m lifting in my workouts. The only
problem is that I’m fatigued during my workouts.
thanks so much

hi i read this at living-foods.com (posted below..) i have been eating raw foods for the past 6mnths.and now it is winter and im finding my digestion to be really slow! im feeling cold and tired all the time.. 10 days ago i did a sort of ‘master cleanse/juice feast".. and now i feel i cant digest any food!! -except apples nd oranges… can anyone suggest some tips for better digestion and keepin warm ;).. thanks
also has anyone esle experienced this.. and is it a good thing to have low stomach acid?? "Doesn’t the acidic ph of the stomach destoy enzymes?
Viktorus Kulvinskas, one of the world’s foremost and most experienced active researchers into enzyme nutrition has information showing then stomach acid merely deactivates food enzymes. The enzymes are then reactivated in the more alkaline small intestine. Many people who eat all raw foods, sense a world of healthful difference in our energy, digestion and connectedness with nature by eating enzyme-rich living foods. When we stopped eating cooked protein foods which require large secretions of stomach acid (which is not healthful for several reasons) our stomach doesn’t produce much stomach acid. Many people who eat raw foods eat a low protein diet and are free from the stomach acid secretions and have much more energy and a lighter disposition."
So I heard about the raw diet several years ago, at first I thought the guy who told me about it was crazy, but the idea never left my mind… after years of feeling miserable and several months of considering it, going raw for life seems to be the answer to a lot of difficulties I have.
Anyway, I’m very excited to start, however I don’t exactly know HOW. Cutting out foods I normally eat and going straight to raw foods would probably have my body go into shock, I would imagine…
Prior to my decision, I’ve already made healthier choices this past year, no soda or fast food (once a month, if that), and I hardly ever eat meat (again with maybe once or twice a month).
So I can’t imagine it would be too difficult, but should I start with raw nuts or other snacks at first or specific meals?
I’ve read most of ‘Raw Food Life Force Energy’, which is great, but looking for more personal experiences… thanks!!
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 am already a vegetarian, but I think I may want to try the Raw Food Trial. I read that it is a sort of detoxification of the body to eat only raw foods for about 30 days, that’s why I want to try it, not because I want to lose weight. I’m almost 16 years old, and have been a vegetarian for almost a year now. If anyone has already tried this trial or knows someone else who has, can you please tell me all the the information you know! I would also like some recipes I could use if I did decide to try the diet. Also, can you eat dairy, or is it sort of like being a vegan?
Please don’t just say that it’s unhealthy because I do take liquid vitamins every day which provide me with everything I’m missing from not eating meat, so I don’t think nutrient deficiency will be a major problem.
All answers are appreciated, so thank you in advance!
so i’ve been a vegan for a year and now i’m starting to eat raw foods only. i went to the grocery store yesterday and bought dates, carrots, apples, bananas, arugula, a papaya, watermelon, red bell pepper, almonds, avocado, bean sprouts and honey dew melon. so i’ve basically been eating a lot of fruits and veggies. i haven’t made any raw meals from recipes yet because they’re kind of daunting.
i’ve been eating more fruits than veggies also because i just like fruit a lot more. is it possible to each too much fruit?
if anyone could give me any pointers, or recipes, i’d really appreciate it :)
Hi there,
I’m interested in switching my cat over to a raw food diet. I currently feed him Innova kibble during the day and Wellness wet food at night.
Is it best to switch my cat over to raw gradually or should I just go "cold turkey"?
Any tips you have about switching kitty over would be much appreciated!
Also … I’ve also read about some commercial brands of frozen and freeze dried raw foods. Are these brands any good and if so, what would you recommend?
Thanks!
There is a lot of talk about green living, organic and raw foods, but most info is so basic that everyone just keeps repeating the stuff already known. Can anyone suggest a place with more advanced and very specific articles stating the facts with references back to the primary sources?
If you haven’t heard of it, it is a diet where you only eat raw foods.
Duhh.But anyways;no processed,cooked,or anything like that.
You’re basically becoming an extreme vegetarian for months..or a life time!
I think its a really good diet,I’ve seen videos on Youtube with real people.A man lost 100 lbs in 5-6 months on this.
Another man/boy lost 18 lbs in 7 days.
I’m pretty skeptical about stuff like this, but I dont think they’re lying.
Basically my question is, if you’ve been on this diet,or if you haven’t, all I really want is your opinion.
Are these good recipes?

what health and beauty benenfits have you recieved from switiching to raw foods.? Do you somtimes dabble into cooked foods? any things not to do while raw?
raw food diet is eating fruits and vegies-not uncooked meat and such…..
I have been on raw food diet for about 1 month and I’ve already lost some weight. Is there anyone else out there who has lost weight on raw foods? What other benefits did you experience? How long did it take you to see results?
Am I going to starve on this diet?? I signed of for a 28 day detox that involves only raw food. I’m already a vegan and incorporate raw foods in my diet, but always crave pasta and rice. I’m so afraid I’m going to be hungry all the time.
I started a raw food diet yesterday. I just went cold turkey and ate all raw foods yesterday. Today I’m nauseous and dry heaving constantly. Is this normal or am I just sick?
I am currently a vegetarian (I have been for 3 years), but I want to also eat raw foods. I don’t really know where to start. What should I eat? And can I have olive/ vegetable oil? Do you really loose weight from eating raw foods?
I read that some people have blue eyes that appear brown because of a layer toxins in your eyes caused by eating processed foods. It said that by eating raw foods, the amount of toxins will decrease and your true eye color will be more visible.
Does anyone know if it works?
Hiiro and silentkilla, did you even read what I posted? The eye color would have always been blue, but a layer of toxins would be making them appear brown. This has nothing to do with "genetics"
I saw on a tv show that by eating raw foods you can lose weight but stay healthy. I’m afraid of gaining weight but i need to be healthier what kind of foods should i eat for a raw food diet?
BREAKFAST?
LUNCH?
DINNER?
Raw foods are supposed to cure type II diabetes naturally in 30 days according to the documentary, "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 days." and RDNmovement.com, Who has direct experience with this program. I am considering a raw diet.
I am quite familiar with healthy eating, raw foodism, and nutrition (working on a B.S. in nutritional science) though my question needs to be answered by someone with far more insight than myself. I understand what enzymes are, how they work, and am a believer in both digestive therapeutic applications. I am also a fan of the raw food diet for the clean, simple, and ‘living’ factor, but cringe when I read about raw foodists ’selling’ the notion that eating raw foods will increase enzyme activity in the body. As far as I know, our body starts producing enzymes in the form of amylase as soon as we begin to salivate for food. The harsh environment of the stomach denatures most proteins, which includes enzymes. How can we say that the enzymes are still in tact in the stomach on top of saying that they are ready and willing to help break down the foods that they let sit so nicely in front of us before they were consumed?
Thanks you guys, but just so you know, this is less of a personal question, and more of a scientific one. Also, I am not speaking about the consumption of raw meat, but about that of vegetables and/or dairy products
I’ve done research on this, I’ve joined several yahoo groups, etc. Since my dog has been on kibble for a little while(Blue Wilderness) everyone has suggested slowly started adding in raw foods and taking away kibble. Everyone has suggested starting off with a raw egg in the shell on top of a little kibble.
However, I cannot find the answer to one question. Can my dog eat the shell as well? Is the shell a good part of the raw food diet?
Some people atribute a detox diet and fresh alkaline water to longevity and anti-aging. You can read up on the subject, but it does makes perfect sense that a healthy detox diet menu will help you feel and look younger.
The Raw Food Diet: Sample Menu For You To Try
Want to know how to put the anti aging raw food diet into action? Find out in this article here.
The Raw Food Diet has become more and more popular as celebrities continue to sign onto the healthy anti aging eating plan. Now "regular people" have started joining in the newest diet ‘craze’ and are discovering the amazing health and beauty benefits, which might prove the Raw Food Diet is more than just a craze.
So, you are still not sure if the Raw Food Diet is right for you? Well keep reading this article and you will soon know your answer. We will talk about the health and anti aging benefits of eating raw food and include sample recipes and menu plans for you to try.
The benefits of going on a Raw Food Diet include weight loss, healthier skin and anti aging, reduction in the risk of heart disease and diabetes, longer life-span, and you will become a lot more energetic.
A Raw Food Diet is a vegetarian diet; this means the diet will not consist of eating raw meat like steak. A Raw Food Diet essentially includes vegetables, fruit, raw seeds and nuts, unprocessed whole grains, dairy products that are unpasteurized, vegetable and fruit juices that have been freshly squeezed.
Are you thinking this diet does not give you many options? Many people who go on the Raw Food Diet have said they do find a variety of foods to eat. However, keep in mind that preparing these meals can be timely.
An example of a popular meal that follows the Raw Food Diet includes vegetables that are topped with a raw vegetable sauce. Does this sound good? Here is how you make it:
1. Slice a zucchini spirally into long and thin slices.
2. Put a chopped onion (white), 1 pound fresh tomatoes, 1 clove garlic (minced), basil, chopped red pepper (fresh), and 2 teaspoons of natural pizza seasoning in a food processor and blend until all ingredients are mixed.
3. Pour the ingredients over the pasta
That recipe is proof that not all Raw Food Diet recipes are hard and timely to prepare. Do you want even more examples? Here is an example of a daily food plan for the Raw Food Diet:
Breakfast – you may have up to two pounds of raw fruit juices or even whole fruit, if you are still hungry and really want a snack during the day you can have some sliced avocados or a handful of raw nuts.
Lunch – you can have a salad with 75% consisting of greens, and the dressing can only be freshly squeezed lemon.
Dinner – you can have a spinach salad that includes 10-20 almonds, 1-2 avocados, and a freshly squeezed orange for the dressing. For dinner you should also have 10-20 ounces of vegetable of fruit juice; freshly squeezed of course.
