How to Start a Raw Food Diet

Do you want to eat a raw food diet and don’t know where to start? Are you overweight, do you need more energy, do you feel depressed, are you fed up with your binging, do you secretly know you are eating the wrong foods? There are many reasons to start with raw food. Here are some basic steps, that can help you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Let’s start simple: decide now to add more fruits and raw vegetables to your diet. You can do this by adding fruits to your breakfast and salads to your lunch and dinner. Eat the fruits and salads (made with different vegetables, especially greens) before your meals. By eating them first, you make sure to eat them. Eat whatever you like after your fruits and vegetables.
2. In between meals take fresh and dried fruits, raw vegetables and raw nuts and seeds as snacks, if you need them.
3. Make sure to drink enough water before and in between your meals! Many people think they are hungry, when they are thirsty. First try water or herb tea, when you feel hungry.
4. You can also introduce some superfoods to your diet, like raw cacao, goji berries, maca, hempseed, flaxseed, spirulina, chlorella, MSM, aged garlic or medicinal mushrooms. These foods are very nutrient dense and help you to get rid of cravings.
5. Take time to adjust to a raw food diet. Your body needs time to get used to it and to get rid of toxins. If you go too fast, you make it more difficult for yourself, because you start to detox fast. After some time, you will get used to your new habits and you can take the next step.
6. This is the easiest way to change to a raw food diet, lose weight and get more and more energy. Take time and relax. Enjoy your raw food adventure.
