My boss's wife has been on the raw food diet since 1987. She has very little body fat and hasn't had a cold or the flu in 20 years. She eats a lot of figs and complex salads. I have looked into it and it makes sense nutritionally for someone who is willing to sacrifice a lot. Typically, people go on a raw food diet to alleviate chronic health problems. I would not have the ability to do it. Giving up pizza alone would be too much for me. Critics of the raw food diet need to remember that all of our ancestors were eating a raw food diet before man learned how to make and control fire.

Raw food diet can be very extremely healthy or very extremely bad for you. It isn't something that can be explained in a paragraph on Yahoo Answers. You need to study it in detail before you embark on it. And you need to be careful about your protein in particular. Vegetables, fruit are great, but you need to make sure you add lots of nuts for essential fat and protein. It can be done, and I have done it to help me recover from some health things. It worked. But it isn't easy and you have to know what you are doing. I suggest getting a book on it and follow it in the beginning like a text book.. Don't vary from the suggestions at all. Then with time you will begin to get involved in the raw food community and learn a lot of tips. I have had a raw food pizza that was delicious, so it doesn't have to be just sprouts and nuts.Could someone explain the raw food diet?
