From the very “term” one can understand that a raw foodist is a person who consumes foods without heat treatment.

Supporters of this diet are confident in its positive impact on health in general and on the figure in particular.

From a medical perspective, raw foodism has its drawbacks, although as a short-term cleansing diet it is suitable for almost everyone. In any case, if you want to join the raw food “tribe”, the first thing you should do is consult a doctor.

How to become a raw foodist

This diet requires time and patience from its followers. Be prepared to deal with ridicule and questions from others, as well as resistance from family members.

After consulting with a therapist who will assess your body's condition, you can begin a gradual transition.

Eliminate specific food groups one at a time. Spend at least a few weeks, preferably a month, on each phase of elimination.

Only after this can you take the next step to lighten your diet.

For example, first eliminate smoked and fatty foods from your menu. Then, in the next stage, give up meat and fish. Then continue to simplify your diet by giving up dairy products, eggs and boiled cereals.

Listen to your feelings and don't blame yourself for breakdowns - instead, try other combinations of products and try to enjoy the new experience you are gaining.
