You probably know the advantages that raw food diet brings about. A raw food diet is a type of dietary plan of which the literally involves the consuming of uncooked, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, sprouts, seaweed, nuts and juices. The main idea behind the raw food diet is that cooking and processing removes the much needed vitamins, enzymes and nutrients that our bodies need in order to have a healthy life. Below are types of raw food diet that you may want to try.
Fruitarian
This is probably one of the most interesting types of raw food diet. Fruitarians essentially mean the consumption of foods that primarily consist of fruits, nuts and grains or a âfruit only dietâ. Fruits provide nourishment and are quite refreshing. They donât obstruct the circulatory system of the body; in fact, they clean the arteries and blood vessels.
Juicearian
Drinking fruit and vegetable juice is considered as the best way to remove toxins. Juice is a type of concentrated nutrition. Individuals who drink prefer this type of diet opt for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Sproutarian
This type of raw food diet focuses more on consuming sprouts. You may not know it but sprouts are rich in vitamins and nutrients. As a matter of fact, contain all of the required elements a plant needs for it to live and grow. The seed of the sprout acts like a depot of carbohydrates, protein and oil. And when the seed develops; the seeds is then filled with predigested amino acids and natural sugars that provide nourishment to the plant. Sprouts are rich with energy that will provide us with additional vigor and life.
Raw food diet is the best way to give your body the nourishment it needs. Most of the people in the United States nowadays are overweight. Being overweight does not mean you have all the nourishment that your body needs, as a matter of fact overweight individuals usually crave for the essential nourishment that their body needs. The reason that they are overweight is because of the processed foods that they consume and the way the foods served. Almost all of the processed provide only a small amount of what the body really needs. Therefore, they tend to consume more processed food than what their body needed and still do not have sufficient nourishment. And in order to be healthy, you must have a healthy diet.

What is a Vegan Diet?
A vegan diet is entirely plant based and void of all animal products – including eggs, fish and dairy.
What is a raw vegan diet?
A raw vegan diet consists entirely of uncooked, unprocessed, whole plant foods. Examples of what a raw “fooder” might eat are; fresh vegetables, salads & sprouts, green vegetable juices, fruits and fruit smoothies, and nuts and seeds & wheatgrass juice.
What is the difference between Raw Food and Living Food?
Although the definitions of raw vary, it is commonly held that for a food to be raw it must have not been heated over 118 degrees so not to destroy nutritive value. Living foods include wheatgrass juice & sprouted seeds, nuts & grains.
What is a Detox?
Detox, short for detoxification, is the elimination of toxic substances from the body.
What can I expect during my Detox?
The detox is a highly individual process. Everyone experiences it differently. For some there are no detox symptoms at all, whereas some experience light-headedness, nauseous, weak, tired, headaches, fever-like symptoms.
Where do I get my protein?
This is probably the most common question we get asked, and the answer is that there is a huge myth related to the amount of protein the body needs. Protein is found hemp seeds and nuts, sprouts, dark leafy greens and broccoli. The human body breaks protein down into amino acids, so If you cut out the middle man and eat foods that are rich in amino acids, like ALL uncooked fruits and vegetables, then you are getting more than enough protein direct from the source.
How long have I been eating raw?
In 2001 I first came into contact with the Essenesâ teachings about raw foods & purificaton, translated from ancient texts known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. At the time I was living on a tropical island. Fresh, lucious fruits and vegetables were growing all around me and I found myself eating raw naturally. I lost weight and started to feel an amazing vitality in my being. This experience lasted for the two years I was in the tropics, but when I returned to my home in the UK I drifted back into eating cooked vegetarian food. The weight piled back on and my sense of aliveness dulled. All the time I knew I was not living my full potential which took itâs toll on me psychologically and I yo-yoed between bouts of depression, PMS, lethargy & worryingly high blood pressure. In 2008 I had a skiing accident and as a result had to have my knee reconstructed. Whilst recouperating I researched places I could go to regain my health through raw foods. I came across The Hippocrates Health Institute in South Florida and decided to take their 9 week Health Educator Programme. The first 3 weeks of the programme is The Life Change Programme, and change my life it did! I learnt that this way of life is not just about changing the way you eat, but about changing anything in your life that no longer serves your process of becoming whole, mentally, emotionally & physically. I took a leap of faith, let go of my old life and made the decision to bring together what I feel most passionate about in order to assist others on their journeys to wellbeing and wholenessâ¦.Raw foods, swimming with wild dolphins & yoga. Humanity is at a great shift in consciousness. We are at the dawn of a new age, that we are just beginning to get glimpses of,â¦.2012 has begun energeticallyâ¦.A raw food diet will bring your body into correct alignment for the coming times.
What do I eat?
First thing in the morning I make either a green vegetable juice loaded with celery, cucumber, greens, ginger, garlic & sprouts or a superfood fruit smoothie depending on whether Iâm detoxing or training. The fruit smoothie contains banana, apple, kiwi, coconut water, raw cocao poder, hemp powder, green powder, raw cocao nibs on top and goji berries to chew on. I make enough to have a glass there and then and another in the fridge from when I get back from my workout. Exercise comes far more naturally as you progress on your raw journeyâ¦All that new found energy needs somewhere to go! I do a combination of cardio, stretching, yoga, pilates & weights five times a week. The green drinks or smoothies keep me going until around 2pm, then I eat my main meal of the day, a raw lunch of an entrée or onion bread & pate with a saladâ¦.I might snack during the day on something sweet like raw cocao or spirulina balls⦠Or an appleâ¦.then in the evening I try and eat before sunset, something light like a salad or juice. I do enjoy sweet things and the beauty of raw is that in moderation you can have your cake and eat it! Raw ice cream is a favourite!
How do you eat out?
I like to eat raw 90% of the time, but I am not going to forsake meeting up & spending time with friends that donât eat like me. So occasionally I go out and eat cooked vegan food & make sure I have some digestive enzymes with me to help assimilate the cooked foods digestion process in my body. A raw living food lifestyle will boost your immune system, bring your body into an 80/20 Alkaline/Acid balance for optimum health, vitality & wellbeing so that you can live the way nature intended.
Rememberâ¦
Raw is a journey, not a destination
Your emotional health is just as important as your physical health
Prepare & eat your food consciously with love
Exercise oxygenates the blood, stimulates your lymph, relieves tension & improves mental clarity
Spending time with friends & loved ones that support your vision is highly beneficial to your wellbeing
Being of service, finding your life purpose, sharing your gift with the world, giving something back
Taking time out alone to meditate, focus and set your intentions
âThe food you eat can either be the safest & most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poisonâ Anne Wigmore
