raw foods: I am trying to get into the raw food diet. I am wondering though, what foods I can have and what I should avoid. Also, does it get easier over time? Do sugar cravings go away?|||Well, there are many different views and trends in raw foodism, but one thing everyone seems to agree on is that you need to eliminate processed foods. This means no junk, carbonated drinks, chips, popcorn, chocolate, pizza, cookies, ice-cream, and the likes. Lucky for you, there are tons of healthy raw deserts out there that you can learn to prepare yourself and that taste amazing and don't even seem raw! And yes, there are ways to work around cravings as well. Check out the first link i included in the resource box for a recipe to a lovely raw desert. You will also need to focus primarily on incorporating more fresh, raw, organic, plant-based meals into your diet. Since consuming raw foods of animal origin poses several health risks, most raw foodists are vegan. This does not mean you will be lacking in protein and fats, there are raw alternatives out there that can provide you with everything you need. The second link i included in the source box might give you some ideas! Hope i have been helpful. Good luck in your raw journey!
