The reasons that people move to the raw side of things are varied;
to lose weight, to increase energy, to look as good as Demi Moore or to simplify their life. It doesn't matter what gets you there, but once you are there, if you do it correctly, you will very quickly feel the benefits. Often it will take two or three weeks for people to start to feel the raw energy buzz. Two or three weeks of you life, however, is not much, if what you get in return are the following:
Weight Loss
Weight loss on the raw food diet is almost a guarantee. Occasionally, people that are very thin due to lack of absorption of nutrients will gain weight. People who have pounds of unhealthy weight, will see it melt off on the raw food diet. Even those people that just have two or three kilos extra on their bones will soon feel a lot lighter. This author went from 62kg to 55kg from practicing the raw food diet.
Increased Energy
Energy increase on the raw food diet is a guarantee.
There are occasional hiccups where a particular person finds that they need to include more of a certain food to feel that energy. After a little experimentation, the energy comes. Always.
Clear Mind
One of my favorite benefits of the raw food diet is the clarity of mind that it brings. Once you get rid of the coffee from your diet, and begin to include fresh juices, sprouts and healthy fats, your mind, like everything else, begins to work twenty times better. Have you ever sat at your desk, in a daze, for ten minutes, unable to formulate a simple plan for the day? This does not mean you are stupid, lacking in concentration or in some way hindered. It means that your brain is simply not clear, due to an unhealthy body. This will be a thing of the past on a raw food diet.
No More 'Normal' Ailments
No more colds. No more flu. Say goodbye to allergies, varicose veins, acne, dandruff, constipation, athletes foot, arthritis, and the list goes on. What 'common' ailment do you have right now that hinders your existence? It is not NORMAL that you should have to contend with this. It will all go once you are on the raw food diet. They will not disappear overnight, as it took you years to pick up these problems, but they will go. All thanks to the raw food diet.
