The raw foods diet has recently gained popularity and momentum in the press as high-profile celebrities and chefs have endorsed its benefits. What is raw food diet? Raw food is:

- Organic – no preservatives, pesticides, etc
- Uncooked – not heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit
- Unprocessed – as fresh as possible

Consisting entirely of plant-based foods (fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, sprouts and seaweed) that are eaten raw or cooked at temperatures under 118 degrees, the raw food diet is said to be much more nutritious than the traditional American way of eating. Raw food diet is healthy because the foods you eat as part of the diet contain all the vitamins and minerals of food before that goodness is destroyed when high temperatures are applied during cooking

Following the raw food diet does not require a lot of work, unless you decide to experiment with recipes. There are many recipes available for those who want to try different foods. However, sudden change in your diet can cause some bad detox symptoms that often cause some to go back to their old habits. Going slow, you will have a much better chance at sticking to your new way of eating. After being on the diet for a short time your taste buds will change. You will start to prefer the fresh foods.
