100% Raw Food Diet: The Only Way To Get Great Results?

100% Raw Food Diet: The Only Way To Get Great Results?

Nope, it isn’t.

As long as you are eating the main foods that the human body has anatomically and physiologically evolved to thrive on (fruits and veggies) in a substantial quantity (90-95% of your diet), the other 5-10% of what you eat won’t matter much.

To put it into perspective, say you eat a diet of mostly sweet fruit, moderate amounts of greens and limited overt fats on a daily basis. However, once a month you go out to eat at your favorite restaurant.

That one meal once per month will not have much of an effect on your health. Sure, you might feel groggy the day after – or even a few bites into the meal – but your overall health will not suffer much.

It’s about what you do on a regular basis, not what you do occasionally.

On the contrary, if you consume cooked dishes frequently and a big fruit meal once per month, you won’t experience the rewards of the healthy meal because it will be overshadowed by your regular habits.

In fact, you will probably experience NEGATIVE results after eating the fruit (i.e. bloating, gas, etc.) because of the state of your body from your frequent cooked food consumption.  And the extent of these consequences will of course be dependent upon what foods you actually ate (fast food will more than likely generate a more severe reaction than a home cooked vegan dish).

So…Cooked Foods Are Okay?

As I’m sure you know by now, I do recommend a 100% raw diet as the optimal diet for human beings. While eating cooked food infrequently isn’t necessarily going to harm you that much health-wise, it certainly isn’t going to help you either.

Cooked food provides absolutely NOTHING in the way of nutrition that cannot be obtained from raw fruits, tender leafy greens, nuts and seeds. In fact, it provides MUCH LESS because so much has been damaged during the cooking process.

Even a “healthy” low fat cooked vegan meal of steamed veggies with rice cannot measure up to raw produce because ALL cooking damages the food being consumed to some degree.

Do What Makes You Happy

Don’t go raw just because you think it’s optimal or because all the raw food fanatics on YouTube are telling you to.  Do it because it gives you great results and ultimately makes your life more enjoyable.

Personally, a 100% raw food diet works great for me.  I get to eat as much delicious food as I want, when I want, and still keep my girlish figure.  If I could do this with cooked food, you better believe I’d be loading up on cookies and cupcakes.

But that’s just me.

If going 100% raw makes you happy, great.  If going 50% raw makes you happy, wonderful.  If going 1% raw (thanks to that scrawny piece of lettuce on your BLT) makes you happy, FANTASTIC!

Just be happy, okay? :D
