Plant-Based Weekly Meal Plan By Diet: RAW VEGAN MENU

The raw food diet has been around for many years, with a recent trend picking up over the last decade more so than ever. As a means to get healthier, eat more fruits and vegetables, have more energy, lose weight, or possibly even reverse some forms of disease, many people turn to a raw food diet for the answer. While raw food may or may not do these things for all of us, it is safe to say it’s one of the easiest, healthiest ways to fit more fresh produce into our day.

 For those of you that aren’t familiar with the raw food diet, it revolves around the principle that no food is eaten that is heated above 118 degrees. Think no microwaves, ovens, or cooking on the stove top. The idea behind the diet is to preserve the “life force” of a food. Raw foods are packed with enzymes and possibly more nutrients as a result. Many are also easier to digest because enzymes help aid in digestion. Though this isn’t the case for all raw foods, one thing is for certain: raw foods are packed with dense, unprocessed nutrition that each of us can benefit from, even if we don’t go 100 percent raw.

A raw food diet can be as simple or complex as you want, and there are no rules, counting calories, or anything else rigid unless you choose to make it so. The dishes are usually salads, smoothies, room temperature soups, raw energy bites and bars, raw soaked grain cereals, raw nut milk, and some fancier things such as raw tacos, raw lasagna, and even raw cakes and pies. There is no sugar, alcohol, animal products, caffeine, or anything else that acidifies the body eaten on the diet. It’s a way to alkalize the body with real, whole food nutrients, raw superfoods and as fresh of food as possible. You can use fancy raw food kitchen equipment such as dehydrators, a fancy mandoline or a spiralizer, but you really don’t need anything to eat raw food if you stick to the basics.

Keep in mind that while many people find improved digestion and energy with a raw food diet, others will need a balance of cooked and raw foods. Whatever version of raw works for you, we have several ideas for raw foods and raw recipes for you to explore. Most require nothing fancy except a blender, food processor, perhaps a good chef’s knife, and a few others use raw food kitchen equipment like dehydrators and spiralizers. You can also see all of our raw vegan recipes here. 

We hope you enjoy our raw food meal plan! Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Raw Food Diet Meal Plan

Wondering how to start the raw food diet, also known as the raw vegan diet? It’s a common question. You’ve heard about the benefits that a diet of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds can have on the body and mind, but how can you go about changing the way you eat and starting your new life on the raw food diet? And where can you find a raw food diet meal plan?

Raw food diet plans are not that revolutionary. In fact, raw food diet plans have been around for thousands of years. Let’s not over complicate things! Raw food diet plans are simply another word for eating fresh foods. That’s it. Simple!

And what are these raw foods? Well, you can take a look at my raw food grocery list below for a thorough overview. But, in sum, raw food diet plans are simply based around eating nothing but fresh, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, sprouted grains, unprocessed nuts and unprocessed seeds.

If you are wondering whether raw food diet plans are for real or are right for you, of course they are! Everyone should be eating more real fresh fruits and vegetables. Now, whether you should eat an all raw food diet is another story!

Raw food diet plans don’t have to be complicated. Simply incorporate more raw fruits and vegetables into your diet. You can use raw food diet recipes to help you incorporate more of these healthful foods into your diet on a daily basis–regardless of whether you eat a low, high or all raw food diet.

If you’re wondering how to start the raw food diet try keeping these important questions in mind:

Why do you want to start the raw food diet?

Understanding the reason why you want to become a raw vegan will help you to see the big picture of your health and your quality of life. If you truly want to make a change in your life and you’re ready to work hard and see results, then you will have the will and drive to take action towards starting the raw food diet. That’s the most important step when starting the raw food diet!

What will you do when you feel like reverting back to the standard American diet?

When figuring out how to start the raw food diet you’ve got to have a plan for what you will do when faced with cravings and awkward social situations that revolve around food. Have you given any thought to what you will say or do in these situations? Start with a plan so that you’re ready to execute your plan when faced with these situations.

What do you need to buy in order to start the raw food diet?

Let’s get to the nitty gritty, right? If you’re wondering how to start the raw food diet you are probably looking for some basic information, such as what do you need to buy and what will you need to succeed? There’s a lot of hype about superfoods and fancy equipment. Some raw fooders will tell you that all you need to get started on the raw food diet is a fridge full of fresh fruits and veg. Sounds simple enough, right?

However, I think that’s a little too simple. Most raw recipes that actually taste good require a high-speed blender and a food processor, so if you’re wondering how to start the raw food diet I recommend:

• A cutting board
• Sharp knives
• A fridge full of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds
• A high-speed blender
• A food processor

Many people also use dehydrators when eating only raw vegan foods. However, if you’re just getting started you don’t need a dehydrator. You can always get one at a later date.

Next comes the important part: the food!

Raw Vegan Grocery List

All items on this raw grocery list should be organic and raw where possible. It is not always feasible to buy everything organic, and I don’t even always buy organic. However, aim for the gold standard when it comes to your raw grocery list — where possible!

Raw grocery list – Fruits

• Apples
• Oranges
• Bananas
• Grapefruits
• Lemons
• Limes
• Grapes
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Cantaloupe

Raw grocery list – Vegetables

• Onions
• Carrots
• Leafy greens (spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, etc. )
• Parsley
• Fresh mint
• Green bell pepper
• Red bell pepper
• Cucumber
• Garlic
• Celery
• Tomatoes

Raw grocery list – Nuts and Seeds

• Almonds
• Walnuts
• Sunflower seeds
• Sesame seeds
• Chia seeds
• Cashews
• Macadamia nuts
• Hemp seeds

Raw grocery list – Oils and condiments

• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• Coconut oil
• Apple cider vinegar
• Herbs and spices (thyme, basil, curry, cinnamon, cloves, allspice etc.)
• Sea salt (not regular table salt)
• Vanilla pods or pure vanilla extract
• Dried dates
• Dried coconut
• Raisins
• Cacao

This is a sample basic raw grocery list to give you a general idea of what might be found in a typical raw foodist or raw vegan kitchen. 

Raw Appliances

Now, wondering what raw appliances to buy for your raw food kitchen?

Blender

Your blender is the most crucial part of being a raw vegan. Blenders are used to make smoothies, puddings, sauces, and much more. I recommend the VitaMix. It’s the best blender you can get, it’s large, but it isn’t cheap! There is no alternative to a good blender. If you must, you can use a cheaper, personal blender but I guarantee that your existing blender will not blend as well and the motor will burn out over time. Don’t feel bad if you can’t afford one right away. But plan on buying a VitaMix at some point soon. At least put it on your Christmas list!

Food Processor

You need a blender and a food processor. This here is a great food processor, but you do not need such a good one. My honest recommendation is to use the food processor that you have at home. If you do not have a food processor then simply go to your local big box store and choose a medium priced food processor (perhaps in the $50 range). Invest any extra money into the VitaMix blender above, please!

NOTE: Yes, you need a blender AND a food processor. Blenders do smooth, liquidy stuff (smoothies, soups, sauces) and food processors do chunkier stuff (think raw cookie dough, pizza dough, raw pie crusts, etc.). I suggest buying a crappy (cheap) food processor and an awesome (expensive) blender.

Also, check out my handy recommended raw food products list here. The list includes a wide variety of raw appliances, from blenders and food processors to manual juicers and spirooli slicers. The list also includes some great idea for edible raw food specialty items, including chia seeds, nutritional yeast, kelp noodles and much more.

Daily Raw Food Diet Menu

Wondering what you’re going to eat on a raw food diet plan? Curious what’s in a typical raw food diet menu? Much like regular eaters who eat standard American diet fare, raw food diet menus can vary per person based on different food preferences and dietary needs. Raw food diet menus can also vary hugely based on how much time you want to dedicate to preparing your raw meals!

If you are anything like me, odds are you’re busy running errands, working, spending time with family and keeping your life on track. While cooking (or “uncooking”) can be a pleasurable hobby, most of us don’t want to spend hours creating complicated items for your daily raw food diet menu.

I advocate making simple, satisfying raw food diet menus to ensure your success with the raw food lifestyle. 

Here’s a simple example of what’s on a typical raw diet menu:

Sample Daily Raw Food Menu:

• Breakfast: Raw diet menus tend to include a green smoothie for breakfast. Alternatively, breakfast may include a large serving of fruit, or even raw granola or raw oatmeal made from sprouted grains.
• Morning Snack: For a mid-morning snack, a raw diet menu may typically recommend a few pieces of fruit and a small serving of raw nuts or seeds.
• Lunch: A raw diet menu may include a variety of options for raw vegan lunch, including salads with some healthy fat (such as avocado, extra virgin olive oil or crushed nuts), a soup, and/or a raw vegan entree (such as raw noodles, raw veggie burgers, raw vegan “meatloaf,” etc. ).
• Afternoon Snack: Most raw vegans snack during the afternoon. An afternoon snack on your raw diet menu might include raw crackers, some fruit, vegetables and dip, or even a piece of raw vegan cake or a bowl of raw vegan pudding.
• Dinner: For dinner, many raw diet menus are similar to a raw lunch menu. However, they might incorporate a denser entree item, which is typically made predominantly from nuts. An example from my typical raw diet menu might be a veggie burger patty wrapped in a lettuce wrap and topped with raw ketchup and raw mayonnaise. Similarly, raw pizza, which is “cooked” in a dehydrator at low heat is a definite favorite.
• Dessert: And what’s the best part of a raw vegan diet menu? Why, dessert of course! Try raw cheesecake (dairy-free of course), raw brownies, sweet raw puddings, and much more.

All of these raw diet menu dishes can be made at home quite easily with some basic raw food appliances.

30 Days Raw

Are you up for 30 days of raw food? If you’re considering going raw for 30 days I encourage you to go for it!

30 days raw can have a powerful effect. Many people go raw for 30 days and on the last day they actually don’t want to eat standard American diet foods.

That’s what happened to me. Let me tell you my 30 days raw story.

In 2001, I became a vegetarian. However, I was a “junk-food vegetarian.” In other words, I ate vegetarian foods but they were anything but healthy. In fact, I barely ever ate any fresh fruits or vegetables. Almost everything I ate was processed, and items like chips, candy, cheese buns, packaged cookies, cinnamon buns, tofu dogs smothered in cheese and ketchup, and much worse were on my plate daily! I felt tired all the time, and I had very bad acne even though I was well past puberty.

In 2009 I decided to make a major change in my life. I was over-weight for my height, lethargic, moody, unhappy and low energy. After witnessing a family member’s amazing transformation with raw foods, I decided to start my own 30 days raw just to see whether I could do it for a short time.

I certainly didn’t have any inkling that I would go raw and stay raw ever since!

Yes, it’s true, after my 30 days raw I decided to stay raw for Day 31, too. And when I woke up on Day 32, I realized that I felt and looked so much better that I didn’t want to eat standard American foods. And so, since my 30 days raw in 2009, I’ve stayed raw for years now–and I’m still going strong.

30 day raw diet plans can be helpful for a variety of reasons, including weight loss and simply resetting your tastebuds to appreciate real, unprocessed foods. It can be overwhelming and a bit daunting to try to figure out what to eat when you’re on a 30 day raw diet plan. Especially if you’ve never eaten these types of foods before!

Different Approaches for Going Raw Food 30 Days

There are many ways to approach raw food for 30 days. Here are three ways to approach raw food for 30 days:

1. Raw food 30 days – 50% + raw vegan

When approaching raw food for 30 days, for some people simply increasing their daily intake of raw, living foods to above 50% of their total diet is a remarkable change. In my experience, however, it is important when doing a 30 day raw food challenge to aim for higher than this level in order to experience the full benefits. In addition, it’s key that the remaining portion of your non-raw intake be healthful food choice! For example, the following 50%+ raw vegan diet is not recommended:

No: 50% raw vegan / 50% junk (not recommended):

• 51% healthful raw vegan choices, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds for 30 days
• 49% standard American diet junk food, such as cookies, chips, cheese, dairy, full-fat meats, potato chips, soda pop, candy, refined sugars, poultry, deep fried foods, etc.

Yes: 50% raw vegan / 50% healthy, cooked foods (recommended):

• 50% healthful raw vegan choices, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds for 30 days
• 40% healthful cooked food choices, such as lentils, brown rice, steamed vegetables, rice wraps, very limited dairy, meats and poultry, little to no refined sugars, etc.

2. Raw food 30 days – High raw vegan (80%+)

When going raw for 30 days you’ll experience more positive effects the higher your raw foods ratio. When opting for a high raw vegan diet (80%+), it is again important to make sure that the non-raw options that you incorporate into your diet are also healthful choices. Most people find it more difficult to eat raw when out of the house, at social events or at restaurants. When going raw for 30 days and when following a high raw vegan diet, a good option is to eat close to 100% raw at home, and then opt for the healthiest non-raw options possible when at social events and other places where you must eat out of the house.

3. Raw food 30 days – 100% raw vegan

Eating 100% raw vegan–or close to it–is actually the best option for many. Some people find it easier to eat 100% raw for 30 days because they have, in fact, removed the temptations by calling every cooked item untouchable for 30 days. For some, this is the easiest way to do raw food for 30 days.

Raw food – 30 days… Are you up for it? If so, it’s important to consider which one of these raw for 30 day approaches will work best for you.

30 Day Raw Food Diet Meal Plan

Want to have a look at a 100% raw 30 day raw food diet meal plan? They can be difficult to find for free on the internet. So, I thought I’d pull this one together for you based on my experiences over the past few years as a raw vegan.

Here’s my 30 day raw food menu for you, which you can use a sample to help you figure out some ideas for what to eat re: a 30 day raw food menu.

30 Days Raw Food – What to expect

Wondering what to expect if you experience 30 days of raw food? Everyone has a slightly different personal experience with 30 days of raw food. However, the overall results are quite amazing and follow a general pattern. This discussion assumes that you’re following a 100% raw food diet (or very close to 100%).

For the first week it’s tough. You’re going to have a difficult time breaking your normal patterns and having to figure out what to eat and when. You’ll also find that you’re quite hungry, so you’ve got to make sure you’re eating lots and lots of food! The raw food diet is not about restricting calories. You’re actually going to find that for your first 10 days or so on raw food you’re going to spend more time eating (I mean physically chewing and sitting at the table) because you need to eat more food than you’re used to eating.

In the first 10-15 days and perhaps even longer you’ll be experiencing some detoxification, whereby your body is getting rid of a lot of the junk it has stored in your body. So, prepare to go to the washroom more often than your used to. This can mean having a bowel movement (sorry!!) after every meal! Fresh fruit and veggies have a lot of fiber in them, and most people are not used to going to washroom so frequently.

Here are a couple of my favorite videos on the 30 days raw food subject. If you can obtain copies of these or borrow them from a friend they are inspirational and well worth the watch:

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days (DVD)

Supercharge Me: 30 Days Raw (DVD)

By the end of your 30 days of raw food you will have learned some valuable raw food preparation skills, will have lost weight, and will have actually found some real food recipes that make your heart pitter-patter and your tastebuds salivate!

Raw Food Meal Plan – Is It Necessary?

If you want to go raw for an extended period of time, a raw food meal plan is not necessary for you to follow a raw food lifestyle. Although I sell a 30-day supported raw food meal plan program that’s awesome, you may not need one.

However, there are some of us who do well with raw food meal plans, while others honestly have no need for meal plans.

Will you benefit from a meal plan?

Whether you need a raw food meal plan is totally up to you.

People who benefit from following raw food meal plans enjoy structure and organization. You might be considered more of a Type A personality. Someone who likes structure, planning and having a set of guidelines to follow. You probably prefer to know what’s coming rather than be blind-sided by a crisis. Does that sound like you? Then if you’re interested in raw foods you will benefit from following a raw food meal plan.

Raw food meal plans are not for everybody, but if you’re interested in launching yourself into the raw food lifestyle the right way and right away, consider whether a 30 day raw food meal plan is the leg up that you’ve been looking for.

Losing Weight with a Raw Food Diet Plan

Is it really possible to lose weight with a raw food diet plan? What about eating as much as you want and still losing weight? Yes, losing weight with raw foods is totally possible, and basically guaranteed. But the raw food diet plan is not a magic pill that will allow you to eat anything you want and still lose weight. It’s not magic. It’s rational, focused and it works.

The raw food diet plan is all about reality and hard work. Losing weight with the raw food diet plan requires hard work and will power. But the rewards are guaranteed and trust me when I tell you that you will learn to enjoy the taste of healthy food. If you stick with raw eating, you will, I promise.

Losing weight with the raw food diet is not about restricting pleasure or eating your greens because you have to. You’ll only lose weight with the raw food diet if you actually stay with it and retrain your taste-buds and your thinking. Raw food is not something that you do for a week to lose those last five pounds; that’ll never work because you’ll just gain the weight back again.

In order to lose weight and be happy on raw foods you’ve got to become excited about your food and raw recipes. You’ve got to learn to get excited about fruits and vegetables! Trust me, you will.

Wondering how to get started losing weight with the raw food diet? The first step is to get mentally prepared. Losing weight with raw food diet — it is possible.

Raw Food Diet Meal Plans – What Makes a Good One?

The Rawtarian says:

What makes a good raw food diet meal plan?

Here are five tips for what makes an effective raw food diet meal plan:

1. An effective raw food diet meal plan… isn’t complicated!

For the love of nancy, if your life is like mine you’ve got about a gazillion things you should be doing and raw food just can’t be that complicated in your life. OK, I love to go out to a raw restaurant and have raw lasagna and raw cheesecake and all kinds of crazy delicious good raw stuff, but puh-lease I don’t have time for a high-falluting raw food diet meal plan on weeknights–or even on weekends for that matter!

So let’s have reasonable recipes that don’t take very long to prepare, OK?

2. An effective raw food diet meal plan…tastes shockingly satisfyingly delicious!

In case you don’t know this about me, the only reason that I am raw is because it tastes uber-super-delicious. If I was bored with my raw food diet meal plan I’d be off of this raw food bandwagon so fast you would only see smoke flying through the air where my body used to be lying horizontally on the bandwagon.

In my raw food diet meal plan world raw meals are simple to prepare and they satiate you just like standard American diet (“SAD”) food used to.

Yes, you can still have a lovely belly-is-full and “I am so happy after that meal” feeling.

For me, I still have sweet and salty cravings, but I know how to satiate them because I’ve found delectable recipes that work for me, like chia puddings, nut pates, raw macaroni and cheese, raw alfredo and noodles, and much more. (Yummers!)

3. An effective raw food diet meal plan…focuses on *your* favorite foods.

Hate bananas? Love hazelnuts? Grossed out by avocado? Look, you are the boss of you. If you don’t like something that some raw foodists say must be in your raw food diet meal plan, then don’t eat it! It’s that simple.

And if, on the hand, you find a recipe that you absolutely love, make it often and enjoy yourself!

The beauty of raw foods is that everything you eat is healthy. It’s alive! It’s natural. So if you want a raw strawberry smoothie for breakfast, then go for it.

All I say is that you must learn to love greens in order to have a balanced raw food diet meal plan. But, do not fear. If you aren’t totally raw, you will learn to love your greens. (I promise!) But for some people that might be kale, for others it might be baby spinach, or romaine, or mesclun. Listen to your tastebuds and don’t let anybody else boss you around!

4. An effective raw food diet meal plan…should make you feel great.

The raw food lifestyle is not about pining away for the foods you used to eat and it’s certainly not about feeling hungry.

Effective raw food diet meal plans should leave you feeling satiated, full, and energized.

If you are transitioning to a raw food diet meal plan from a very junky meal plan, like I did, then you will go through some detox so at the beginning you might not feel so hot. But after the first week you’ll be on the upswing.

Rule of thumb? If you’re hungry, eat! Fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, desserts for dinner, entrees for breakfast, whatever you like is fine. Just eat raw and don’t let yourself go hungry.

5. An effective raw food diet meal plan…should include some serious standby recipes.

An effective raw food diet meal plan for you must contain some recipes that you absolutely love to eat and make. This is crucial, because if your raw food diet meal plan doesn’t contain anything that you LOVE you are going to have nothing to turn to when you hit a rough patch.

Find your raw comfort food. Mine is various types of chia pudding or raw macaroni and cheese, but you might want something completely different.

The point is to identify a sweet and a salty favorite recipe as part of your raw food diet meal plan, and make sure you always have the ingredients to make those comfort-food raw recipes on hand.

Fast and Easy Raw Vegan Meals: Walnut, Arugula and Basil Pesto

Fast and Easy Raw Vegan Meals: Walnut, Arugula and Basil Pesto

The majority of your raw vegan diet should be fast, easy, delicious and nutritious meals. This walnut, arugula, and basil pesto entrée is no exception! These simple noodles are made using an inexpensive spiral slicing tool.

There’s just something about slicing up vegetables and fruits in new and unique ways that actually impacts the way they seem to taste. In this case, making long curly noodles gives you a wonderful basis for all that rich, creamy, garlicky pesto sauce to cling to, making every bite of this raw food meal out of this world.

For this recipe, you can opt to peel the zucchini first, which makes the noodles look even more like traditional pasta. However, if that’s not a concern for you, then you can spiral slice your noodles leaving the peel on. Your pasta will simply have a greener color, which I personally prefer because I want the nutrition in the peel.

For the noodles in the photo, I did go ahead and peel the zucchini first. I saved the peel remnants and the leftover zucchini cores for use in my green smoothie the next day.

The raw vegan pesto sauce in this dish is made with heart-healthy walnuts and garlic, paired with fresh greens and savory herbs for an authentic Italian flavor with none of the guilt or unhealthy elements of traditional pasta meals. Enjoy to your heart’s content, literally!

Raw nuts: To soak, or not to soak.

Most raw vegans advocate soaking nuts to get rid of pesky enzyme inhibitors which can create digestive upset. But there are also some sources indicating that soaking nuts isn’t necessary. To be quite honest, in my opinion, a SMALL quantity of unsoaked raw nuts consumed every once in a blue moon are fine. Your choice. I rarely eat nuts aside from when I’m developing super yummy recipes for all of you, so it’s really a non-issue in my overall diet. I would not make a habit of eating unsoaked nuts regularly, though.

Now, on to the recipe! Get ready, because this is going to knock your socks off. Big time YUM!

Love always,

The transition to a raw food diet in stages. 9 Steps to a Raw Food

Publication date April 20, 2014 . Posted in Raw Food Diet

I decided to write this post for people who find it difficult to switch to a raw food diet right away. In some cases, this can be very harmful. Therefore, I will present the transition to a raw food diet in stages.The stages can last anywhere from one to two years.

1) Acquaintance with the theory of raw food.

At this stage, as a rule, it is necessary to study the materials on the raw food diet to the maximum – books, videos, communication on the Internet and in real life. An introduction to the benefits of a raw food diet (improved sleep, cure for disease, improved emotional state, and more). It is also important at this stage to find a like-minded person, preferably with experience, to suggest various nuances. Although you can do without him, like me, but it is better to have such a person by your side.You should also undoubtedly warn your loved ones about the upcoming transition to a raw food diet. It is necessary to gradually start replacing cooked food with raw food, first 25-50%, then 60-70, etc. The abrupt transition is suitable for people who already consume 75-95% of raw foods.

2) Find an alternative to cooked food made from raw, but tastes like cooked.

This step will require a large number of recipes. I want to immediately warn you not to eat a lot of nuts, they are as small as 50-100 grams and pre-soak or eat them young in season.

3) Cleaning the body and adjusting microflora

It is necessary to fast for 1-3 days on your own, and more under the supervision of doctors who are positively disposed to fasting. During fasting, intense self-cleaning mechanisms are activated in a person. Secondly, after fasting, you do not want harmful foods so much and generally disciplines the mind.

4) Inclusion of raw products up to 50%.

Transition time from 6 months. Then the replacement of cooked products with raw ones by 70% or more.Each stage is approximately 3 months old.

5) Replacement of sugar with raisins, fruits and honey.

Replacement of white salt first with sea salt, then with sweet red onions, horseradish, mustard, ginger. It is noticed that boiled foods are used only because salt and sugar are added there, because without them food seems generally tasteless. Salt and sugar mislead the mind that cooked food is delicious.

6) Sometimes it is worth replacing cooked food for raw food by 100%

For example, 1 day 70-80%, and on the 2nd 100%.It is necessary to convince the mind that the body feels very comfortable on a 100% raw food diet. Psychological addiction from 6 months.

7) Phasing out milk and milk-based products.

The realization that milk cannot be absorbed by the body, but creates only the heaviness that we perceive as satiety. Calcium from milk is not absorbed and even promotes the removal of calcium found in milk. While from raw foods, for example, sesame seeds, calcium is absorbed by about 10% (in full raw food eaters by about 60-70%), which eliminates the problem of a lack of calcium, diseases of the teeth and spine.It is good to use cottage cheese during the transition to vegetarianism and the first stages of the transition to a raw food diet (when 50 and 70% of raw food is consumed).

8) Phasing out all animal fats and proteins

As well as products that contain them (cheeses, oils, etc.). Replacing them with vegetable protein and vegetable fats, which are found in nuts, seeds, sesame seeds, flax. Transition period: from 6 months.

90 074 9) After the psychological stability of the mind at 75% / 95% / 100% raw food

You can make a “sharp” transition to a complete raw food diet, which, with daily meditation and a feeling of inner peace and happiness, can help to get rid of attachments to the last old tastes.Uncooked food begins to be perceived by the mind as non-edible bricks, from which in the body there is only heaviness and pain, as well as loss of vital energy.

Adhering to the above plan, you can painlessly make the transition to a raw food diet in stages. With this, your weight will not fall as rapidly as during a sharp transition.

Hope this post helps a lot.

Benefits and harms of a raw food diet for the body

Have scientists identified the harm of a raw food diet and what are the benefits of it? The idea of ​​a raw food diet is based on the fact that raw foods contain all the essential enzymes that the body needs to digest these foods.These enzymes are destroyed already at 48 degrees, and the body has to synthesize them itself, which creates an unnecessary load on it and is harmful to health. Also, a raw food diet has a rejuvenating effect, the best way to normalize weight and increase physical performance.

Scientific research

A raw food diet, according to doctors and scientists, is not as good for health as raw foodists themselves think. Research has not confirmed that many raw foods are healthier than cooked or fried foods.The study of the chemical composition of vegetables has shown that after heat treatment, many of them do not become less useful. On the contrary, the content of some substances and microelements in products only increases after their preparation.

For example, in a tomato after heat treatment, the lycopene content becomes 3 times more! And after roasting, nuts become several times healthier. Of course, some of the enzymes are destroyed, but they can be easily replenished with mushrooms and fruits.

The fact that a raw food diet significantly strengthens the immune system has not been confirmed either. However, from the experience of patients, no harm to health of a raw food diet has been identified. So, is a raw food diet good for you?

Celebrity Opinions

Meanwhile, in the wake of the popularity of healthy lifestyles, more and more celebrities are fond of vegetarianism and raw food:

1. Angelina Jolie was one of the first in the Hollywood Hills to become interested in the raw food diet and greatly contributed to the spread of this philosophy among movie stars.
2. Demi Moore has been following a raw food diet for 8 years.
3. Jared Leto has recently become a raw foodist.
4. Uma Thurman – also recently started a raw food diet.
5. Natalie Portman – a raw foodist since 2009, but does so under the constant supervision of doctors.
6. Madonna – the world famous singer has been a staunch vegetarian since the age of 15. She goes on a completely raw food diet periodically.
7. Dima Bilan – and our singer managed to slip into the star lineup of raw foodists.According to various sources, he has been eating a raw food diet for about a year.

Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

Despite the results of scientific research that slightly “ground” the miraculous properties of raw food, the benefits of raw food are undeniable. At the same time, it is not necessary to become a raw foodist for life – a dietary course may be quite enough to get benefits for the body. The main thing, in order not to harm your health, you need to understand well the balanced nutrition system itself and choose the right products.

Improving digestion

A raw food diet is probably the easiest diet for the digestive system. Digestion of such food uses the body only one fourth of its capacity. This can significantly slow down organ wear. And, with the right choice of foods, the body is much better saturated than when eating heavier foods.

Body cleansing

A raw food diet causes the breakdown of excess fats, promotes the elimination of toxic substances and excess water from the body.There is a normalization of digestion and metabolism. Out of habit, it is difficult to follow a raw food diet, but then the feeling of hunger passes and the body begins to fill up – this is a signal that the cleansing of the body is complete.

Wellness 90,075

There is no doubt about the health benefits of a raw food diet. A raw food diet activates the recovery of worn out and diseased cells, improves well-being, and increases physical activity.

Weight loss 90,075

The normalization of metabolism, the breakdown of fats and the elimination of excess water contribute to significant weight loss.Excessive load of extra pounds is removed from the whole body, which has a positive effect on overall well-being and health.

Appearance Improvements

Although the concept of beauty has been controversial and fluid from century to century, most people feel that after adopting a raw food system, many begin to look their best. And this happens not only due to weight loss, but also manifests itself in the strength of the hair, and in the elasticity of the skin, etc. The rejuvenating effect and dramatic improvement in appearance are probably the most attractive benefits of a raw food diet for women.

Harm of a raw food diet

Just as there is nothing perfect in the world, a raw food diet is not a completely harmless food system. But, apart from contraindications for health and individual intolerance to certain foods, the main harm of a raw food diet lies in the wrong approach to the diet: a sharp transition to a raw food diet and poor selection of products can harm human health.

How to become a raw foodist

Most often, convinced vegetarians come to the raw food diet, who consider the consumption of meat and animal products not normal for humans, and unhealthy.Such people are already well aware of all the nuances of a balanced diet and have some experience in this, as well as a habit.

Where to start if you don’t have this experience:

• Before you try yourself in a raw food diet, you need to study this issue, read books on the philosophy of raw food and become familiar with the possible complications along the way.
• Join the raw food community and learn from them how to make the transition to a raw food healthy and easy.Raw foodists are very friendly people and will gladly help you understand all the intricacies of their diet and its health consequences.
• It is not necessary to take and become a raw foodist in one fell swoop. For starters, try a raw food diet as a temporary diet. Monitor your well-being, how your body will react to such a change in food preferences. Try a mixed diet – part vegetarian and part raw.
• For the comfortable preparation of raw food meals, you will need a special set of kitchen utensils.Namely: everything you need for slicing, chopping, sieving, grinding and splitting. In addition to a set of good kitchen knives and cutting boards, a blender, juicer, and food processor will come in handy.
• Choose your diet. Contrary to the popular myth of the monotony of the raw food diet, raw food choices are wide and varied.
• Products for a raw food diet must be selected with special care so that they are real organic products, and not chemistry or GMOs.Your familiar raw foodists will help you with this, if you did not miss the point above and joined their community. We will not go into disputes about how harmful or not the use of GMOs and the use of chemicals for growing are harmful to health. Let the scientists be engaged in clarifying this, but while the question is open, it is better not to “reinvent the wheel” and “go along the already beaten track.”

Contraindications

It would seem that what could be simpler than a raw food diet and where do the harmful effects on health come from? But, in fact, a raw food diet requires knowledge and preparedness:

1. Only organic products are suitable for a raw food diet – vegetables, fruits, cereals, the production and storage of which do not use chemicals.Today, the market of organic products in the Russian Federation is just being formed. These are quite expensive products that are difficult to find. The most famous promoter of eco-products in Russia is Herman Sterligov and Sons.
2. A raw food diet is only suitable for an adult and healthy body. Children, pregnant women, lactating mothers and the elderly should not eat a raw food diet.
3. Although foods that are not thermally processed are higher in vitamins and minerals, the raw foodist should be mindful of the diversity of his diet.Otherwise, you can earn metabolic disorders due to a lack of some vitamins and an overabundance of others.
4. There is a high risk of contracting parasites when eating raw fish. Parasites infected: herring, pollock, sea bass, pink salmon, trout, salmon, smelt and other salmon, cod, crucian carp and pike. You can get rid of parasites in fish by freezing, salting and heat treatment.

Freezing is the most suitable way to disinfect fish for a raw foodist – the most tenacious parasites are frozen for more than 15 days at a temperature of about -30 degrees.Salting is not effective – some parasites can survive in a salt environment. During heat treatment, parasites and their eggs die at temperatures not lower than 60 degrees – weakly smoked fish may still be infected. A raw food diet is contraindicated in certain diseases of the digestive system and can cause stomach upset. Therefore, before you seriously take up a raw food diet, it does not hurt to consult with a specialist and draw up a detailed diet map.

Raw food diet

There is a myth that the diet of a raw foodist is monotonous and not particularly appetizing.In fact, there are many delicious foods and dishes that raw foodists consume. The main thing, so as not to harm yourself, you must comply with the norms of a balanced diet:

• When engaging in a raw food diet, it is important to eat at least 4-5 times a day, eat little and often. If you overdo it and eat too rarely, feeling hungry, sooner or later a person will break loose and overeat. Many raw foodists eat even more often, with occasional snacks between meals.A common raw food snack is to eat some kind of fruit.
• Raw foodists have a special relationship with water and thirst quenching. They believe that drinking water while eating is harmful – it stretches the stomach and causes increased gas production. It is recommended to drink at least half an hour before eating, or 30-40 minutes after a meal. Raw foodists drink either non-carbonated pure water, or non-alcoholic tinctures on berries and herbs, or freshly squeezed juices. Drinking juice usually replaces a snack.
• Nuts occupy an important place in the raw food diet: hazelnuts, pine nuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts. When choosing nuts, you need to be especially careful – most often they are sold fried and are not suitable for a raw food diet. Raw nuts are rich in vegetable protein, minerals and saturated fatty acids.
• In the diet of any raw foodist, legumes and cereals are present in large quantities: wheat germ, buckwheat, lentils, chickpeas, peas, etc. Since any heat treatment of food is prohibited, cereals are soaked or sprouted before consumption.Sprouted buckwheat and wheat are often used in raw salads.
• Vegetables and fruits form the basis of the raw food diet. This is usually 70 to 95 percent of the total diet. The most beneficial for health are: tomatoes, garlic, carrots, cabbage, onions, broccoli, avocados, watermelons, bananas, apples, oranges and pineapples. It is best to buy seasonal products from trusted suppliers, so as not to accidentally buy products poisoned with chemicals and pesticides.
• You can safely add any amount of edible berries and mushrooms to the raw food menu.You should be careful with mushrooms, not all of them are suitable for raw consumption. When choosing mushrooms, the easiest way to opt for mushrooms and oyster mushrooms – they are easy to buy in the store and are great for a raw food diet.
• If it is not possible to purchase clean fresh fruits, they can always be replaced with dried fruits: dates, raisins, dried apricots, prunes, etc.
• Seaweed is also present in the raw food diet. But it is bought only in dried form, soaked and after that it can be eaten, or added to salads.There are quite a few different salads for a raw food diet, and all of them are filled with only unrefined cold-pressed vegetable oils.

90,000 Raw Foodists / Heroes / Daily online magazine about the life of the city MOJO

Water, food and air are the things that no human being can live without.But everyone chooses for himself what water to drink, what air to breathe and what exactly to eat. MOJO spoke with the Annunciation, who deliberately ate or are still eating only plant food, unprocessed temperature, food. These people call themselves raw foodists.

Oleg Gladkikh

A raw food diet is not even a diet.It’s a way of life. The basic tenet of a raw food diet: a living body – living food. You need to eat only plant foods that have not been processed by temperature: neither fried, nor steamed, nor boiled, nor dried. Processed food is a ballast for the body. She has scanty digestion, and the body spends a lot of energy on her digestion. If there is unprocessed plant food, then it will digest itself, and the body will only help a little. And all the energy that is not involved in this process will be directed to purification, the fight against infections, diseases.The body will begin the healing process.

In 2007, I first came across raw food ideas from books. Then I was often sick. He suffered from colds for weeks. I read that many people turn to a raw food diet when they want to get rid of a disease that doctors admit is incurable. And it helps. If so, then a raw food diet should have helped me all the more.

I sat for three months on raw and cooked food in a ratio of about 50 to 50. These three months were amazing sensations.And after that, I began to get sick less often, probably because the body was cleansed. I have not eaten meat since 2003. But recently he returned to a raw food diet again. For about two months I have not chewed anything “harmful”. All this time, from 2007 to 2014, I experimented and figured out how best to switch to a raw food diet. I ate boiled food in different proportions, starved, tried to cook different dishes. Now I realized that it’s best for me to go abruptly. It’s hard, but you have to make up your mind and that’s it! Motivation is important. Mine is to be healthy!

Raw foodists have a fairly rich table: various vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts.Instead of sweets, you can eat watermelon, honey, dates, figs, pears. I was a very big sweet tooth. But sugar is a harmful product, so now it is not allowed. In general, raw foodists have their own recipes: raw food cakes, pizzas. Frozen banana tastes like ice cream. But the food is usually simple. Today in the morning I ate one apple, for lunch there was a salad of finely chopped cucumbers, carrots and cabbage. In the evening – walnuts and the same salad. And strict raw foodists (mono-foodists) consume only one type of product at a time.This is ideal, but very difficult.

When you switch to a raw food diet, there are some problems. Chronic diseases become aggravated, but then they disappear forever. You are tormented by severe hunger, but you need to understand why this is for you and go through. My first week was tough. In terms of thoughts, it was unbearable to give up regular food. It is easier for the stomach to digest an apple, but thoughts require candy. To combat this, I bought fruit and ate them all the time. Of course, I really want a regular meal. Yes, and still at times pulls on “Snickers” of some kind.

Strangers are a little shocked by my power system. Therefore, I try not to advertise this information. There was a time when I spoke positively and imposed ideas about the usefulness of a raw food diet on my family, friends, and loved ones. They didn’t like it. Now I don’t do that. Everyone chooses for himself. But my grandmother still wants to feed me sausage and cutlets (smiles).

Several years ago I met a man who had been a raw foodist for three years.He was under 40, but he could have given 10 years less. And he looked better than me, although I was 10 years younger. At first he laughed at his way of eating. I drove cutlets in front of my nose. And after a couple of months I began to listen. He gave me a little book to read, which, with scientific facts, explained what a raw food diet is and why it is good. On the same day I came home and threw everything harmful from the refrigerator. The wife was shocked. In the first two months, I lost about 14 kg. He looked, to put it mildly, thin. It was uncomfortable – the body was rebuilding.Indeed, then a lot of energy appeared, which I directed into sports. My family and I were raw foodists for about a year. But now we are vegan. And we would go back to a raw food diet, but we have a very small selection of fruits, vegetables + high prices. Therefore, I had to add cereals and boiled vegetables to the diet.

In general, it will soon be two years since we stopped taking any pills. Before the raw food diet, every morning I started with an incomprehensible headache. It’s all gone. The older child goes to kindergarten and does not get sick at all, even if there is an infection.He’s a vegan too. For six months, there was not a single sleepless night due to stomach problems in the youngest child.

You can talk for a long time about the dangers of citrus fruits for pregnant women. Modern medicine prohibits eating lime, lemon, orange and tangerine so that the child does not have diathesis. But my wife ate tangerines in boxes. Nor did she eat meat. And on examinations, we said that the opposite is true. And the child was born healthy. Both his and his mother’s test results were normal.

Now my wife and I feel that we are feeling better than when we ate everything.Of course, it is not known what changes in the body will occur in the future. But it doesn’t get any worse for us (smiles). There are grandmothers and grandfathers who look 50 at the age of 90 because they “eat raw”. It’s not only the young and the crazy who decide that “I’m not like that at all” and “eat raw” at the age of 25.

Most people want to sleep after dinner, because the body needs to cleanse itself of the next portion of “harmful” food for it. It is better to cleanse the body at rest. The best rest for a person is sleep. And our family does not fall asleep during the day.And so much time was freed up. The wife doesn’t need to cook. Have eaten fruit and what to do? We started walking, reading, embroidering, watching movies. The world opened up. A person thinks a lot about food. “What will I eat for lunch, dinner? What to cook for tomorrow? How much I ate. I still want to eat. ” And in a raw food diet there is no such thing.

My husband once came, brought a book, told about the raw food diet.On September 11, 2012 we decided to change the power supply system. My husband immediately rushed into battle, and I ate and was afraid. I read a lot on the Internet about the raw food diet: articles, stories on the forums. We told our parents about such changes. At first, mine were against a raw food diet, they were afraid for us. And then we decided on ourselves to check how it is. For a month and a half, they ate only vegetable and untreated temperature. And they realized that it was useful: they began to lose weight, daddy’s shortness of breath disappeared. They are no longer raw foodists, but they stick to a healthy diet.

Of course, at first it was difficult for my husband and me. The opinions of others greatly influence your own decisions. But there were two of us, and we were able to ignore the words of others. It was very difficult to refuse “junk” food. This was accompanied by wild withdrawals. I really wanted to cry from the desire to eat something sweet. I had to say to myself: “No! It is forbidden! Harmful! ” Instead of sweets, she ate dates and honey. But until now, the smell of your favorite and “harmful” food evokes pleasant good feelings.

We tried all the fruits sold in the local market.They went to the OPS base and bought: a box of persimmons, grapes, apples, tangerines. For three or four days, they ate a ten-kilogram box. Count how much money you spent before and during the raw food diet. It turns out the same. At first, of course, more expensive, because it was necessary to seize hunger.

Before I started eating raw, I was very allergic to cats and dogs. I constantly drank pills. If an animal lived in the room a year ago, I felt it. And now I can easily stroke and hug them.

Dmitry Kirikeev

I started eating raw for fun. I read on the Internet that this is a wonderful thing that almost turns into Superman. “Raw eater” for about three months. Liked. Then I decided to go back to boiled food. It took me a week to understand the difference. The body was rebuilt, it did not take ordinary food well. Two months ago I returned to a raw food diet. I began to feel better again, my energy increased, I get up easier in the morning, I do not suffer from sleepiness during the day.

There are also not very positive aspects in the raw food diet. At first, there will be an unpleasant restructuring of the stomach and intestines. And your relatives will want to feed you. Weight is lost. I lost four kilograms in a week. You don’t have to go to the gym to look slim – you get skinny and lean. If you go in for sports, then the strength becomes less, but endurance increases. If you go somewhere with your friends, they eat “sweets” that you used to eat, but now you can’t. You have to endure.Or take your own: dried fruits, nuts. I feel hungry all the time. I can’t eat healthy food. From meat and other products, one feels satiety, heaviness in the stomach. This is not the case with a raw food diet. You stop eating, either because you are tired of the process itself, or because you are tired of the taste of the product. At the expense of the exacerbation of the disease – it was not. But I’m not even complaining about health problems.

If it is very necessary, I can eat “junk” food: meat, sweet. But then it will be bad for me. Do not explain exactly how. You can just eat the cake, but why? Now it will be delicious for me, and then it will disrupt all my plans.Therefore, willpower defeats cravings for sweets.

And if all these positive changes from a raw food diet are just self-hypnosis, then I’m not against it.

Video. Essence of a Raw Food Diet

Dear friends, at your request, I have recorded a video with a short story about the essence of a healthy diet and a raw food diet. He talked about his experience. Those who were interested and had questions, I invite you to view.

1. Pitfalls of traditional food (I didn’t even know!)
2.Slagging the body (Zakanit by 40 years)
3. Benefits of enzymes (It turns out it itself)
4. Symbiotic and pathogenic microflora (We have a cool help)
5. Functioning of a healthy intestine (Unbelievable)
6. About meat and milk (Here it is as it turns out)
7. Difficulties of transition to a raw food diet (Not everything is so smooth)
8. Personal experience (A year on live food. How is it?)

Questions-answers:

– Does the brain work better or worse? how about performance and mood?

– In general, all functions only work better and sharper.About six months after the transition, of course, all kinds of “cleansing” of the mental plane also take place. The whole organism is changing. There was irritation and groundless aggression out of the blue, etc. But these are completely normal transition processes. Everything is fine now)

– Approximately after what period did these irritations and groundless aggression begin and after what time did everything return to normal?

—In my case, I would not consider this issue narrowly (only in terms of power supply). I would look more broadly, since I am engaged in many different practices (energy, qigong, meditation, etc.)There are many cleansing on the subtle plane, on the emotional, etc. For example, they can go outside, some long-standing hidden fears (from childhood) may emerge … it will shake up for several days … then they go away for good. This is normal and he says exactly the right processes. It’s the same with irritability. It began in 2-3 months. Been periods like a “bitchy pregnant woman”. Then a few weeks passed. I recommend not focusing on particulars, but looking at the whole picture as a whole. The transition period, on average, lasts as long as a person’s age, minus zero.If 30 years old, then 3 years means. Anything can happen during this time. The WHOLE organism is changing, habits, habits, outlook on the world, on oneself, outlook, etc. Periodic irritability is small compared to what happens.

– Hi Igor, tell me, did your relationship with smells change when you started eating raw? ”

– Sensitivity to odors is greatly exacerbated. The body as a whole becomes much more receptive and sensitive to everyone. I would say that there is a more subtle attunement with the outside world.I watched myself such things: for example, I got up in the middle of the market in the summer, caught the right smell and easily found the product I needed on a large area. Or, sitting next to a large table with cakes and cookies, I precisely isolated from the whole range of smells that I really want vanillin. I went and bought a bag, sprinkled it on a raw-food cookie and ate it. This also applies to unpleasant odors. A fetid putrid smell from some people began to be strongly felt. It’s like they’ve just come out of the closet.Or if someone has at least one thing hanging in the closet with a slight smell of sweat, I can feel it at a distance of 1-2 meters, passing by. Entering the entrance and catching the smell of boiling broth (soup) there, uncontrolled vomiting reflexes begin.

– For a detailed study of the topic, I recommend this cycle of transmissions from the medic. Watch starting from the 1st issue and in order: Mikhail SOVETOV School of Health

90 120 90 000 Vegetarian and Raw Food – Simple and Fair

Vegetarianism is very easy for me now because it’s very honest. I understand that if I drive away thoughts about the slaughterhouse, about chicken coops and all this cruelty, then I’m lying to myself. And when I’m not lying to myself, but looking the truth in the eye, I simply cannot eat meat and meat, and I can’t even fish, because.because I cannot catch and kill her. I will suffer if I do this. That’s what’s honest to me. And that’s it, I don’t need more arguments.

But if they are suddenly needed, then I still have a lot of them. I know for sure, I checked on my body that meat, eggs, dairy products are not beneficial for my health. I sleep from them, and do not run, I spend energy on digestion, and do not receive strength for my life. I feed the parasites, not myself, including the mental ones. That’s what’s honest to me, the rest is lies.

Lies that I need vitamins, proteins, and so on from meat.The truth is that from meat you can get antibiotics, hormones, ammonia, cadaveric poison, and other substances with which my already not too strong body will have to cope.
The truth is that when I eat meat, I become angry and harsh, I am drawn to raise my voice, use swear words, beat (push, kick) cats as punishment.

Only fresh products of plant origin bring me substances and energy. And then – a huge share of all this is also not needed by the body …

A raw food diet is very simple and very honest.Fresh raw fruits immediately give energy, immediately give movement and speed of thought, after which you do not need to sleep. Fresh vegetables and herbs give me a feeling of fullness, they both clean and satisfy my taste needs. Green cocktails provide all the needs for elements, high hemoglobin, and in general everything that I may need at this stage.

Fried, boiled and even stewed-baked, flour, sweet, chocolate – all this needs to be digested, and I do not know why, there is a mystery inside me, but I know exactly what I get at the end.Retarded consciousness, low self-esteem, irritability, spoiled skin, runny nose, allergies, drowsiness, fatigue, unwillingness to move, very slow materialization of thought.

Only 3-7 days 100% vegetarian raw food diet (with honey, so I don’t write vegan), and already my body wants to stretch, move, stretch, even pump muscles, makes me do it! Gorgeous feeling. The head is clear and clean, ideas are abundant, energy for implementation is abundant, self-esteem is returning, skin is clean, sleep is calm, sound, sufficient.A good attitude towards others is natural, including towards animals, there is no urge to shout or raise a hand to them. I look and feel great. By the way, I basically feel myself – my internal organs and tissues, muscles, blood, lymph. On heavy meals, I feel only pain or discomfort in my body, but on light raw foods, I feel the joy and lightness of organs and cells, this is a pleasure.

I know that I have always been smart, fast and efficient, my thought – strong and bright, it was on any diet.And only I can really appreciate the difference, and the most honest thing for me is to admit that on a raw food diet my productivity is not 2, not 10, but 100 times higher in all respects.
I know that I have always looked normal, a maximum of 15 extra pounds of weight, a few acne and redness, dandruff – all this in the modern world does not count. But on a raw food diet, these problems do not just disappear, flexibility, sportiness, shine of eyes appear, and in general beauty becomes completely different, natural, different cosmetics and tricks are no longer needed.

I know that I had allergies, chronic tonsillitis, turning into sinusitis and frontal sinusitis, all this could end with banal asthma, as the ENTs said, recommending only drops and rinsing. Bronchitis, which tore from 3 to 7 weeks out of my life every year when I could not sleep, turned into a sick grymza and a poor victim. And complete powerlessness, weakness of muscles, lack of flexibility in general – that is, even bending over and reaching with fingers to toes was unbearably painful. Women’s illnesses, frequent flu, bad teeth, various problems with the gastrointestinal tract – all this does not count, who notices this in the 21st century at all? This is all the norm.And I know it would have gone on like this if I hadn’t switched to a raw food diet one day.
So it’s very simple, it’s very honest.

And everything else is a lie and a hoax.

It is also a lie and cheating that after 5-7-10 years or some more years on a raw food diet necessarily becomes bad. The keyword is “required”. Now I know dozens of people who have eaten raw for many years, and only become stronger, healthier, even younger. My whole body is at most 7 years old (99.9% of cells).Honestly, the health of the physical body requires mental and emotional health in the first place.

And on a raw food diet, my psychic abilities are greatly enhanced.

So, in these 4.5 years of dietary changes, in 3 years of working with the metaphysical causes of diseases according to Liz Burbo, and in 2 years of researching thoughts on the Formula of Happiness and Byron Katie’s Work, vegetarianism and a raw food diet have become a very simple topic for me.
