Raw Diet and Weight Loss

A raw diet is a diet in which foods are not cooked at a temperature higher than 40-45 degrees Celsius. In this diet, the body receives very few calories and the main nutrients may not reach the body. The goal of this diet is not to lose weight, but to improve eating habits.

In general, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a healthy lifestyle. Successful meal plans must be individualized and consider all aspects of the individual. A raw or raw food diet involves eating whole, plant-based, preferably organic, unprocessed foods. Some experts believe that three quarters of the diet should be raw foods. People who eat raw food believe that eating raw food improves their health and well-being and probably lowers the risk of problems and diseases. In a raw diet, the goal is usually no longer to lose weight, even though changing eating habits and eating raw food can lead to weight loss.

While most raw food diets are completely plant-based, some people include both dairy and raw eggs. Sometimes raw meat and fish are also included in this diet, although it is not very common. The use of nutritional supplements is usually prohibited in the raw food diet, because the proponents of this method often believe that this diet provides all the nutrients the body needs. In their view, cooking foods is harmful to human health and destroys natural food enzymes, reduces the nutrient content of foods, and reduces the “life force” that they believe was present in all raw or “living” foods.

 

People go for the raw food diet because of benefits such as weight loss and slimming, better vitality, higher energy, resistance to chronic diseases, better general health and less impact on the environment.
