Raw food diet

I would not recommend this. Like any other kind of deprivation diet, you will probably just gain it back after you start eating protein, carbs, etc. again.

20-25 lbs in ONE month?!??!?!

Seems a bit extreme.

Doesn't matter how much you lose if you can't keep it off.
Go for 5 lbs a month over the next 5 months.

The slower you go the better you teach yourself eating habits that will help you maintain long-term.

Good Luck

If you were eating nothing but fruits and vegetables, it would likely be hard to attain a normal caloric range, unless you are including a lot of starchy vegetables or a hell of a lot of fruit. I would be concerned about a lack of protein. If you add in nuts and maybe sprouted grains and legumes (some legumes are poisonous when sprouted, so stick to lentils, peas, and chickpeas, or do some research), then you could probably have a reasonably healthy diet for a month, but I wouldn't expect to see any greater weight loss than normal, necessarily.

You will probably see a rapid drop off near the beginning if you are not adding any salt to your food, because you will likely retain a lot less water, but this isn't permanent weight loss and will disappoint you when you gain it back later with your normal diet.

Honestly, 20-25 lbs is probably a somewhat unrealistic goal unless you are very heavy. It looks like you are nearly halfway to your goal weight, so I think you will be much better off shooting for a moderate weight loss of around 2 lbs per week. Eat right and work on cardio and strength training, and you will experience much better success than with fad diets, even if it takes a little while. You should be doing now what you know you will be able to sustain in the future.

Good luck!

why don't you just start to try and eat more fruits and veggies to your regular diet. If that isn't hard then you can try the raw food diet.

If you want to use raw eggs without the worry, you should just get pasteurized eggs. They are perfectly safe, can be found at most larger grocery stores, and can be used raw.

I'm not trying to lose, per say, I am trying to rid my body of the extra fat hiding my muscles while building up my muscles. Have I seen changes on my body. YES. Anytime I eat clean like this, the muffin top disappears and I appear much leaner. Just eat the white meats; Chicken, turkey, fish (tilapias, halibut). Choose the leanest cuts of red meat. Tuna is FANTASTIC! And BISON! I love buffalo burgers! Phenomenal. There's some good choices for meat and you don't' have to go nuts with so many nuts!

I've been eating meat up to now - about half of which was really fatty and high calories so I know it's hindering me a bit. I've been eating a lot of processed carbs though the one week I lost the most, I Was eating a ton of salad instead of bread and I felt way fuller than when I was eating bread which is why Im interested in raw... did you lose a significant amount of weight?

I'm a believer in RAW! I used to put RAW eggs in my milkshakes, but because it scares the **** out of my man, I don't do it. LOL
Raw veggies when ever possible have the best nutrients. Give them a good scrub down and they're fine.
Are you vegetarian? I have to have meat in my life. The veggies and occasional fruits are just sides to my main sources of protein. I haven't tried RAW dairy, but am willing to try it. What can I say, I'm a daredevil.
