Raw Food Diet Testimonials

"Individuals who are trying to lose weight will find that a diet in raw foods is certainly a goodway to drop pounds and many people will start a raw food diet for that reason alone. But Becoming Raw is much more than a diet dedicated to those who are determined to reduce their waistline. This diet is useful to anyone who wants to eat better and learn about the many benefits that a plant- based diet can bestow on the body. A diet rich in these raw foods can, for example, offer protection against cardiovascular disease, reverse the effects of some common ailments, and shorten the span of common illnesses such as the common cold. With benefits such as these, most anyone can adopt the raw diet, even if only to an extent, and emerge healthier than before.
Everyone can benefit from introducing raw, unprocessed food into the diet."

"I have been a vegan for over a year and I have been interested in the raw-foods lifestyle. It seems like a natural progression, for me, to explore this because though I love being a vegan, I knew in the back of my mind that eating a lot of processed and packaged (albeit vegan) product was still not the way to go. I knew I needed to get back to basics even if a raw lifestyle seems intimidating.
I've been following the basic principles of a raw food diet for 6 months and have watched my skin clear up, my weight drop, my mood lifted and my general energy level doubled. The way to this cleansing from the inside out is simply."

"Throughout my journey with cancer, I have learned that one of the most powerful weapons in fighting and preventing most common diseases is eating a mostly raw plant-based diet. While this way of life may sound extreme, I believe that this is the optimum food for our bodies, and that many modern health problems are the result of deviating from this simple and basic truth. Unfortunately, most of us were not raised to eat healthfully.
For those who are concerned about increased grocery bills, consider this: You will no longer buy canned, boxed, or processed foods; you will very likely buy less (or no) meat; and you'll be less likely to order take-out for lunch because you'll have lots of healthy, delicious leftovers. You will also spend less money on supplements, because you'll be getting all the necessary nutrients from your food, and you may never need another antacid. I now shop at a farmer's market, and the prices there are fully one-third less than those at the grocery store. Furthermore, everything I buy gets used--there is no waste (no more half-eaten bags of salad that go bad because I forget they're in the fridge). To maximize the food you buy, I would suggest making a menu each week and sticking to it--it not only ensures that you'll use what you buy, it also eliminates that 30-minute period we all waste figuring out what to have for dinner after a full work day."
