Raw Food Diet isn’t really a DIET
Our busy lives can sometimes make it
difficult to stick to our dieting plans when we’re trying to lose weight. We’re either keeping track of our fat intake,
our sugar intake, our carbohydrate intake, or our caloric intake. With all that counting, it’s no wonder most
of us become discouraged and ‘fall off the dieting wagon.’
Add to that the surplus of convenient diet
foods that are out there that are chock-full of preservatives and additives
that we choose when we’re tired from a busy day and don’t have the energy or
time to prepare a nutritious meal, and we’re headed down a wrong-way street
trying to navigate our way through our weight-loss journey.
Enter the raw foods lifestyle. Not only are
raw foods full of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals our bodies need to
perform optimally, they provide enzymes for proper digestion, and will also
result in the purging of toxins and the cleansing of your body systems. The best part? You can eat as many fruits and vegetables as
you like….and you will lose weight.
In addition, the natural high fiber content
of most raw foods will help you feel fuller, thereby reducing your food intake.
They’ll assist in turning up the thermostat in your body, helping to melt away
that excess weight and nourishing your body’s cells to continue with the
fat-burning process. Most raw foods are
naturally low in calories, and obviously much lower in calories, fats, sugars,
and carbohydrates than the dieting convenience foods we’d been reaching for in
the past.
The added bonus of increased
energy, regulated blood sugar and blood pressure levels, sharper vision and
improved mental functionality, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t become a ‘raw
foodie’ earlier in the weight loss and dieting game. And, once you reach your weight loss goals,
you’ll realize how healthy you’ve become in the process, and the raw food
lifestyle will then be your way of life.
