Hi Jessica- Yes you will lose weight if you don't eat enough calories on a raw food diet. You can lose weight fast or slow or not at all if you just want to maintain by just eating more raw foods. I went on a raw food diet 11 years ago when i was diagnosed with breast cancer and cured myself. i immediately lost 10 pounds but by increasing my calories- that is more raw foods -- fruits, greens, veggies, nuts and seeds -- I've have been able to maintain the same weight since. I'm 5'5 1/2 and weigh 108 pounds. I walk every day for 30 minutes and work out in a health club 2-3 x a week. You don't have to exercise in addition to walking. i do because i want strong bones.

1. Yes you will lose weight

2. You don't need to lose any weight that's acreage weight for your size maby even below. Losing more weight will make you under weight

3. Eating and walking should be enough but I still suggest excersizing

You should be eating meats and avoiding carbohydrates (sugars). Raw meat isn't very good.
