Raw Food

[chefkate]

Does anyone know about a raw food diet? A dear friend of mine is very ill and is on a raw food diet - raw fruits and veggies only - absolutely nothing cooked. It sounds very intriguing - I would like to know more about it. One thing I'm wondering about is how on earth would you get enough protein? Does someone know a book to read more about this?

Thanks for your help!

I played around with raw food diets for a little while. I found that the more raw food I eat the better I feel. However I only did 100 percent for a short time. I think high raw works better for me. I like to eat lots of fruits and veggies with a small amount of non raw food to up my protein (chickpeas, tofu ect) most of the time. I like getting a lot of the good things of a high raw diet while still allowing myself to do things like go out for Asian food once on the weekends.
