Raw Food Weight Loss Diet Tips And Tricks.
By Chrissy Dean
Did your mother hound you as a child to eat all of your veggies before leaving the table? Or insist on putting a banana in your lunch instead of pudding? Turns out she was right…again. But let’s not tell her, ok?

We all have known for quite some time that fruits and veggies are good for you. Key staples in the food pyramid, and on average we all eat too little of them. But a raw foods weight loss could be just the ticket you’ve been searching for to rapid, healthy weight loss. Here are a few detailed tips if you’ve been considering this plan.


-Ease into it. Trying replacing one meal a day, or all your snacks a day with a serving of fruits and veggies. Do this for a week or even two and you’ll be amazed that you already start to loose weight. Hungry for more weight loss? Move to replace yet another meal with raw foods.

-If you just can not give up your morning coffee or nightly ice cream, don’t worry about it. Try to simply cut your amount down by a very small amount. If you have three cups of coffee in the morning, try having only two. Two scoops of ice cream at night? Try having only one and a half.

-I highly recommend picking up a raw foods cookbook. It’s alright to replace a candy bar with an orange, or a plate of sausage and eggs with a fruit salad for a week or so, but eventually you’ll get bored, right? There are countless recipes out there to keep you out of a rut and keep this interesting.

-Don’t worry about meal size or calorie counting. How would you count the

calories of a cantaloupe, anyway? There is no need when doing the raw foods to track calories, carbs, or anything else. If you feel exceptionally hungry, eat a large helping of your raw foods. If you are not feeling very hungry, just have an apple. This is very freeing because you can eat how much you want and as often as you want it. The difference is you are eating a lot of healthy food as opposed to a lot of junk food.

-Track your weight loss. This doesn’t need to be a daily thing and it doesn’t have to be tedious. It can actually be fun and encouraging –heck, even exciting once you start to realize how much you’re losing so quickly. You can track it simply by writing your weight down on Monday, and your new weight down on Saturday. Or you could take before and after pictures. Get a weight loss journal if you like. You can track daily if you’d like, but try to at least track your weekly progress.

Most people start a raw foods for the purpose of weight loss. But almost always they quickly realize the benefits go far beyond weight loss. Improved memory, more energy, and better sleep are just a minuet few of the benefits experienced, not to mention the probability for longer life with less disease.

It is really up to you how far you want to take your raw food weight loss diet. Whether you want to do this for a few months, replace only some of your food permanently, or completely replace all of your food with raw food. Whatever you decide, you will be amazed at some of the results you will see.
