Raw food diet

[better dylan]

Has anyone tried this? I find myself very addicted to processed foods and fast food. I think refined sugar is one of the worst culprits. I hope maybe a week of all raw foods will maybe help some how I think I'll be doing a lot of green smoothies on this diet but i've already got some good recipes down on that one. Has anyone done anything like this around here? is it even worth it? Will it kill me? Is canned tuna raw?

What do you hope to achieve by doing this?

Canned tuna is not raw.

Supplemental question: Do you hate yourself?

Never considered it. How would you get brotein? Wiki says eggs, but I'd be weary of salmonella. Plus I read cooking eggs significantly improves the protein uptake (and makes them not taste like jizzsnot).

Is organic cheesecake a raw food?

nuts and beans

I try to find the most proteiny ones when I shop, but even still: nuts are primarily fat, and beans are primarily carbs. I guess there are studies in favor of low-protein diets not performed by ethical vegans, but I just follow what's been working.

If you think it'll help to set you on a healthy path, just make sure you don't go from fast food to military-strict raw diet, then back to junk food.

My sister tried this and swore by it while she was on it, but after about 2 weeks she's back to eating normally because it's just far too strict to stick to for long periods of time for most people. She suffered from swollen ankles and high blood pressure and both dissapeared on raw food so I guess it's pretty good.

In the long-term you might just want to try making your meals from scratch so you know exactly what's in them and it'll probably taste better anyway.
