RAW, huh, what it is good for??

Jump to Comments

If you don’t get the title, sorry.  It made me giggle.  Maybe this will help.

Anyway, I feel like hammered sh*t these days.  After doing a little research I’ve decided that I might try a Raw diet.  I’m looking for any advice I can get.  So if you have testimonial in support of or against a raw diet, please post it here.  I bought this book as a start:

I’ve decided that it might help to start slow.  I’m going to Whole Foods this afternoon and buying the ingredients to make Raw Hummus.

  • I have been a raw foody for about 5 months now and I love it. Maybe have a look here for some inspiration: http://www.giveittomeraw.com or here http://www.welikeitraw.com

    Good luck on your journey!

    (I started with the same book)

  • Too restrictive for me. Plus, there is no way the Hubster would go for it. I had a co-worker who was a long time vegan switch to the raw diet. She must not have been doing something right, because she was always coming down with something.

  • Too restrictive for me, too but I wouldn’t discourage anyone from trying it out if you think it might suit you!

  • Raw oysters – good
    Raw pork – bad
    Rawhide – don’t wear it to work.

  • The raw diet is very restrictive. Maybe start with a cleanse, and then eat mostly vegan, with lots of raw fruits and veggies. I’m better at saying this than living it, but moderation in all things, including chocolate and burgers.

  • I agree with Kate^. Only I did vegetarian instead of vegan, so that I was sure to get the calcium and vitamin D I needed from dairy. I did it for about 3 months and lost some weight. More than anything, my body just felt better. I still don’t eat a whole lot of meat, but I can’t resist a good burger every now and again.

    Good luck! (And I like your blog!)

  • I cannot bring myself to eat raw food. I just cannot do it! I have been using these fabulous bike shorts from fitandsharp.com that have already helped me lose 2 inches from my hips. Raw food…never!
