On a raw food diet can you eat as much as you want?
According to David Wolfe, a raw food specialist, you cannot over eat on a raw food diet. His claim is that because of the form as well as types of food you will eat, naturally you will regulate yourself.
In my experience I find this to be true. In fact I feel satiated more than I ever did as an omnivore, vegetarian & or vegan.
Bill, in this instance, no.
Cecil J. Tal…, I think you do not understand what a raw food diet is. Sarcasm is often a defense mechanism used by people to ridicule what they do not understand.
iltmaemc, the question implies without harmful consequence.
Stephanie S, right on, I agree.
Tall-angel, and that I will, but in a manner that best for myself, and the world.
schenzy, thank you for your support and the links you have provided. Blessings : )
AndyB, I challenge you to try it and see. When I eat raw I truly feel so full I eat suprising less than when I eat a non raw food diet.
beth inside, raw does not mean not heated, just not above 119 degree.
I agree. One of the points of the raw food diet is that cooked food is actually toxic to the body, so the body builds up a thick layer mucus in the intestinal tract to protect itself. This layer only allows a tiny fraction of foot nutrients through. When you go on a raw food diet, this layer eventually disappears and the body can absorb as much as 30 % of food as pure nutrients, so the body needs a TINY FRACTION of the food it once did. And thusly, raw food people are much more aware of how full they are and over eating is not even an issue anymore. Good luck on your journey.
