-
R.A.V.E.
-
The "rave" part of the name is an acronym for the four most important aspects of the diet. They are: no refined foods, no animal foods, no vegetable oils, no exceptions. The lifestyle also emphasizes exercise.
Prohibited Foods
-
No fish is allowed on the Rave Diet. As a result of these principles, foods not allowed on the Rave Diet are all meats such as fish, pork, beef and chicken, animal-derived foods such as dairy and honey, salt, breads and prepared cereals, anything fried and fast foods.
Criticism
-
Eating nuts is discouraged. The Rave Diet is very low on fats, to the point of discouraging even the eating of nuts and seeds. Critics say that while a low-fat diet is good, once you get into a healthy weight range, you don't need to keep eliminating the healthy fats found in seeds, nuts and unprocessed oils.
Warning
-
Diet creator Mike Anderson is a filmmaker, not a medical professional or nutritionist. Some may feel uncomfortable following diet and medical advice dispensed by someone who has no training in either. Always consult with your doctor or a medical professional before embarking on a diet plan.
