Losing weight is not rocket science -- it takes a well-balanced diet and exercise.|||I do a 80% raw foods diet (mostly because it's hard to get enough protein on a raw foods diet, unless you are really fond of dairy or nuts)...I like it a lot. It'd be tough to go totally raw, kooky things start to happen...I bought a book about it before trying it, so I suggest doing that too. Make sure you look at the recipes inside and that there are some you like! (for instance, if the author is, say, tahini-crazy and you hate tahini, then don't buy that book!)|||While I see the good in a raw foods diet, it's not something I would do. There is certainly more good in it than, say, some of the junk companies peddle as diet food and healthy. (Like Jell-o, 100 calorie packs, Lean Cuisine, stuff with corn syrup, and/or high fructose corn syrup, and/or high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, artificial and natural flavors of unknown sources and long words that look like chemicals.) I like warm food. To keep as many nutrients as possible in my frozen veggies, I steam them just until they're warm, sometimes, they're just thawed, which is fine. I'm sure, though, that to those who eat nothing but raw foods it's not a "diet", but a lifestyle. (I'm vegan, which means it's a large part of whom I am, it's not a "diet" in the pop culture definition.)|||I would not go on a complete raw food diet to lose weight alone. It is good for cleansing the body, but not for a long term length of time. If you need to cleanse your body of toxins, you need to do some research of which foods to eat first, some are better than others. Then only stay on the complete raw food for only three months, then start having some broiled (not boiled) salmon. That is very good for protien. Don't just start eating raw foods for the heck of it, find out what each is good for.
