Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I just found out about this diet, but I'm still a little confused about what all foods are okay in this diet. I loooove fruit and veggies but I read that they're bad for a raw food diet. Someone please help!! Thanks! -Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! -Crystal Well Crystal, first, a raw food diet would be pretty tough without fruits and veggies, so I wouldn't eliminate them yet. Loving them is a really good thing -- you're blessed. Second, there are a million opinions out there about what's good for you and what's bad for you, so you've got to rely on as much science as you can get your hands on (somewhat limited for this diet), and test things out on your own body to find out what works for you right now. Just to warn you -- there are two big camps of raw foodists, people who lean toward the fruit side of the equation (usually called Natural Hygiene or Fruitarian), and people who focus on nutrient- dense foods, such as greens and other superfoods, such as raw cacao (chocolate) beans, spirulina, chlorella, maca, and others. There are other streams too -- fasting, cleansing, balanced raw food eating (nuts, greens, fruits), diets tailored to each person's metabolic type, etc. If you have a health crisis, get some help with your symptoms and work with your health care provider to stabilize your health. Find someone knowledgable about raw food, juicing, and cleansing and work closely with them. If you're otherwise relatively healthy, take a deep breath, relax, and start to explore the wild wild world of raw food. You've got time to explore it all. Find some friends online or in your community and start learning. If you already love fruit and veggies, that's a great foundation to build on. Enjoy your journey!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I eat fruit and veggies, they ARE a raw food diet in my book. Other things you can eat, any raw plant food, beyond that, I don't know.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Crystal, Some do say that fruits should be kept to a minimum. Supposedly too much fruit can contribute to molds, funguses, yeasts, and mycotoxins. But veggies? I'm curious, where did you read that?
