A lot of my clients have been asking me about the raw diet or the raw food diet and I wanted to voice my opinion about it in my blog. The raw diet is not new although it is increasing in popularity, especially in yoga circles. Just as the name suggests, it is a diet comprised of eating raw foods, usually fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans. I personally do not subsribe to the raw diet but it can be a great diet if you are able to only eat raw food for 75% of your intake. For me, I live off of high protein foods like fish and chicken, I eat a lot of raw fruits and vegetables but no where close to 75%. I will tell you that I have a friend who started eating only raw foods several months ago, and she has lost weight, her skin and hair look great and she says she has more energy than ever. I know that is only one case study so I am interested to hear your comments about the raw food diet. Has it worked for you? Were you able to stay on it?
