A diet is intended a raw food diet or raw food weight loss if it consists of at minutest 75% raw, uncooked fruits, vegetables, sprouts, etc. Raw and living foods are considered to bear essential food enzymes (living foods hold a higher enzyme volume than cooked foods). The cooking process (i.e., heating foods above 116�F) is thought to crush food enzymes.
People who follow the raw diet for raw food weight loss use certain techniques to prepare foods. These cover sprouting seeds, grains and beans; soaking nuts and dried fruits; and juicing fruits and vegetables. The only cooking that is authorized is via a dehydrator. This piece of equipment blows hot air through the food but never reaches a temperature higher than 116�F.
Do you have to follow the regimen that closely? Of course not. But it s truly worth it to embody some of these techniques and ideas into your diet. If you tend to nibble at work, try taking in carrots or apple slices. Many of the larger grocery stores now tender packaged vegetables or fruits that make it easier to pack them and take them to work. We re a nation of convenience, and greatly of the opposition to healthier eating is that it does usually take a little more energy and time to buy and slice fruits and vegetables. Food retailers have been catching on, evenly, and it s greatly easier now to get bags of sliced carrots, celery, apples, nuts and raisins.
Of course these aren t surely organic foods, and organic is the superior way to go, but we think anything raw is continuously better than cooked, processed food. If you have the time, do buy organic and slice them yourself. But if you re in a rush, and nowhere near a natural food store, then don t beat yourself up or sabotage your efforts because you can t do this 100% all the time. That s not realistic. Anything from the fruit and vegetable aisle is going to be better for you than a potato chip, or worse yet, a french fry!
