What Does The Raw Food Diet Consist Of?

What exactly does the raw food diet consist of? Below is a list of the main foods eaten on a raw food diet.

• Fresh fruit
• Fresh vegetables
• Raw nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, macademia, etc.) and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame)
• Spices and herbs
• Sprouts – alfalfa, broccoli, lentil
• Dehydrated foods – fruits, veggies, breads, and more

Some people eat 100% raw, but many do not.   Many people aim for a 50-50 ration of raw and cooked food.   You have to find what works for you.  It has been said it is easier to eat a higher concentration of raw foods if you live in a warm climate.  When it’s cold, our bodies seem to want more cooked, warm foods.   So the amount of raw foods you are able to consume will depend on different factors.  Don’t become tied to a percentage or ratio.   Enjoy your food, eat a variety of foods with lots of fresh veggies and include as much raw food as you are able.

The raw food diet consists of uncooked, unprocessed foods that will help you on the road to health.
