Is anyone into eating raw?

Imagine eating burgers, pizza, pasta, cookies, cakes and pies everyday. Imagine never having to count calories, proteins, fats or carbs! You won't have to weigh or measure your food. The raw and living food diet is about eating whatever you want, whenever you want! You can lose weight, heal your body, increase your energy, look and feel younger, not in years, not in months but within days! :noway:

Apart from salad veggies...and broccoli, cauliflower ( with dips) i dont know if i could eat anything else raw...well...fruits?...ripened hopefully:laugh:

wriggling Octopus anyone?

What is Raw & Living Food?

Raw and Living foods are uncooked, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouted grains. These raw foods can be eaten whole or combined to make the healthiest, most delicious meals.

Sound boring? NO Way!!! Imagine eating burgers, pizza, pasta, cookies, cakes and pies everyday. Imagine never having to count calories, proteins, fats or carbs!

Well, there's raw and then there's RAW, which means foods made from very basic, organic ingredients. They can be eaten cooked, steamed, baked or raw in the literal sense, but they never contain preservatives or anything unnatural. A food is usually considered raw if it has 6 or less ingredients (large ingredients, not so much spices. Organic spices make this type of eating so much more enjoyable!) and they are all completely organic in nature. This is how I eat and the difference between now and before I began is incomparable. Asking me to eat anything outside of this style of living is like asking me to eat my shoe, haha. It just doesn't look like food to me anymore. A better "name" for it that I've heard (and use) is "eating clean." Then of course you have raw veganism but that's another thing entirely.

I just started eating raw in this sense and I LOVE IT. I feel so much better about myself & noticed a change in my body for the better. I'm trying to keep my raw foods as vegetarian as possible but for the sake of eating protein I have nuts, and a small amount of tuna or chicken each day. I lost 3 lbs over the past 4 days WITHOUT starving myself or over-exercising. I eat as many raw fruits, veggies or whole grains as I want throughout the day, then for dinner I have something with protein & a veggie. Feelin good

I've been looking into this lately. Does anyone eat raw? I mean, is there NO cooking whatsoever involved? How easy is it? Does it mean all foods are eaten cold - even in winter?

Raw meat? :sick:

Enlighten me someone

I don't eat raw meat BUT am too lazy to cook... so, I eat raw (mostly). :happy: I like it, it's super easy.

no thank you. I enjoy all things delicious too much.

unless it's sushi, then I am so in it's not even funny.


eta: oh wow. I am usually so much better about this!

Only fruits, veggies, sushi, or cookie dough. I have had raw meat before that was good but I wouldn't want to live my life on it, personally.

Raw meat?! No thank you! How about....E. Coli, botulism, mad cow and salmonella just to name a few.

Unfortunately, cooking has no effect on the prion that causes mad cow disease.

Hubby is in the food business.... went to an all day seminar at a local university put on by the head chef.... he had appetizers and a catered lunch.... THEN a whole spread of totally raw food. Even though this meat and potatoes man was full from lunch, he could not stop eating- it was so good! Gotta be something to it!
