Here is something I read and this is the type of thing that makes me scared of the raw food world:

http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/raw-food-diet?page=2

Don’t be scared, Anne! The claims in the link you provided—It’s a WebMd article titled “Is the Raw Food Diet Healthy?”—are easily debunked.

Here, I’ll show you…

Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Researchers who studied the impact of a raw food diet found that participants had low cholesterol and triglycerides. They also had a vitamin B12 deficiency. This finding is consistent with another study of raw foodists in Finland.

B12 is found naturally only in animal products. It is critical to nerve and red blood cell development. Deficiencies can lead to anemia and neurological impairment.

Obviously low cholesterol and triglycerides is a good thing. But low B12? Not so good.

The thing is, vitamin B12 isn’t just associated with raw food vegans.

In one study analyzing the blood tests of 3,000 men and women, it was found that 39% of participants had low B12. And according to the researchers, most of these participants were meat-eaters.

Low Lycopene Levels

A German study of long-term raw foodists showed that they had healthy levels of vitamin A and dietary carotenoids, which comes from vegetables, fruits and nuts and protect against chronic disease. Yet the study participants had lower than average plasma lycopene levels, which are thought to play a role in disease prevention.

They are found in deep-red fruits like tomatoes. Lycopene content is highest, however, when tomatoes are cooked.

Healthy levels of vitamin A and dietary carotenoids, another great thing. But what about low plasma lycopene levels?

From the American Cancer Society:

Since tomatoes also contain vitamins, potassium, and other carotenoids and antioxidants, it may be that other compounds in tomatoes may account for some of the protective effects first thought to be due to lycopene.

These compounds may act alone or along with lycopene. When researchers look at large population groups with different lifestyles and habits, it is also possible that their findings can be explained by other factors that were not examined.

And despite what you hear on the news, science does not point conclusively to lycopene alone as a cancer-fighting substance. Several studies have been done on lycopene and cancer with mixed results.

If you’re worried about your lycopene levels, stop worrying. Eating fresh fruits and veggies as your mainstay will provide plenty of lycopene, along with all the other cancer-fighting phytonutrients your body needs.

If you’re still worried, eat some tomatoes. Watermelon, pink guava, grapefruit and gac (if you can get it) are also good sources.

Low Bone Mass

Low bone mass in the lumbar spine and hip may be another risk for raw foodists, who tend to be slim. Researchers concluded, however, that the raw foodists studied had “good bone quality.”

That’s because rapid weight loss at the beginning of the diet may have caused the decrease in bone mass.

As with many things in life, less (or lower) is more. We want lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides, lower blood pressure, lower body fat. All of these have been associated with vegan and raw vegan diets.

It seems that low bone mass is no exception. It’s all about quality, not quantity.

Menstruation

Finally, another study showed that a raw food diet can interrupt the menstrual cycle, again because of drastic weight loss.

Female menstruation is a touchy subject within the raw vegan movement. Some believe that blood loss is unnatural, while others believe that bleeding is natural.

What is unanimous, though, is that periods should not be painful, should not be heavy, and should not last for more than a few days.

If you’ve lost your period on a raw vegan diet and it’s keeping you up at nights, visit your doctor and get some blood work done.

Deficiencies

The raw food diet is rich in nutrients. It’s full of fiber and it’s low in fat and sugars.

But raw foodists, along with vegans, need to make sure they’re getting enough vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, most of which are found naturally in animal products.

Everyone needs to make sure they’re getting enough B12, calcium, iron, and omega 3s. Not just raw vegans.

And the truth is, it’s very easy to meet your nutritional needs on raw foods. As long as you eat a healthy raw food diet based on fresh fruits and greens, you will receive plenty of nutrients, including calcium, iron, and omega 3s.

Vitamin B12 is another story, but it is still very easy to obtain enough on a vegan diet.

Protein

Raw foodists typically get the same amount of protein as nonvegetarians through plant foods eaten throughout the day. But because plant protein is less digestible, the ADA also recommends eating plenty of soy and bean products.

Ah, the dreaded protein issue.

The funny thing is, protein really isn’t an issue at all. As I show here, it’s so incredibly easy to get plenty of protein (and even EXCEED the RDA) on a raw vegan diet.

Calcium

Nutritionists at the ADA also recommend that raw foods and vegans increase their calcium intake. That’s because their diets are high in sulfur-containing amino acids – nuts and grains, for example — which can increase bone calcium loss.

First, this article is assuming that all raw vegans consume lots of nuts and grains.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Those consuming a HEALTHY raw food diet actually consume little to no grains at all and very small amounts (like 1 ounce a day) of nuts.

Second, vegans do not need more calcium.

As I spoke about here, healthy vegans actually need LESS. And it’s possible that raw vegans who consume little to no grains and legumes and small amounts of nuts and seeds need even less than that.

Zinc

Zinc is better absorbed by the body through meat. The ADA recommends soaking and sprouting beans, grains, and seeds. Doing this may help the body better absorb the nutrients from these foods.

According to the World Health Organization, the average adult male needs between 4-14 mg of zinc everyday, while the average adult female needs 3-10 mg/day (depending upon the bioavailability of the zinc being consumed).

It is very easy to meet this requirement on a diet of fruits, veggies, and limited amounts of nuts and seeds, as I show below…

• Breakfast: 5 medium bananas
• Lunch: 4 mangoes
• Mid-Afternoon: 8 peaches
• Dinner: Salad of 1 bunch spinach, 1 cucumber, 4 med. tomatoes, and 1 ounce brazil nuts

This made-up meal plan contains only 1995 calories, yet provides 8.2 mg of zinc. For someone eating a healthy raw vegan diet devoid of high-phytate foods like grains, this is plenty.

As far as soaking is concerned, read my article here.

Vitamin D

Finally, people who do not eat meat or dairy products should be vigilant about their vitamin D intake — especially for people who live in northern climates. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to weaker bones.

The ADA recommends vitamin-D fortified foods, including some brands of soy milk and rice milk, some breakfast cereals and margarines. You also may want to take a vitamin D supplement.

It’s estimated that 40-60% of the entire United States population is deficient in vitamin D. Is 40-60% of the US population vegan or even vegetarian? Of course not!

My point is that vitamin D deficiency is not just a vegan or vegetarian issue. Unless you live close to the equator and get plenty of sunshine, you’re at risk no matter what you eat.

Don’t Fear the Raw!

There’s no need to fear adopting a raw vegan diet. You just need to be smart about it.

Contrary to what most raw gurus will tell you, you can’t just eat whatever you want that’s raw and expect to meet all your nutritional needs, lose all your excess weight, have tons of energy, and be perfectly healthy.

There is a right way to go raw and a wrong way to go raw. Luckily the right way is pretty simple: eat fresh fruit, get in your greens, and limit your fat intake.

Watched any new fitness infomercials lately?  I bet most of them went something like this:

“BUY THE BRAND NEW SUPER EXTREME AB BLASTER 5000 AND GET RID OF ALL YOUR UNWANTED BODY FAT!  TURN YOUR FLABBY FAT INTO MIGHTY MUSCLE IN JUST SECONDS A DAY!”

Sound familiar?

Although infomercials and promotions such as these have been debunked thousands of times by countless health experts and enthusiasts, there are *still* people who believe the hype.

No more, I say!

Spot Reduction Works

Spot training proponents believe that working a particular part of the body will result in fat loss in that specific area.  For instance,  they say that doing crunches will result in a slimmer stomach.

*NO, NO, NO!*

This is completely unfounded and just bad science.  There is no way you can reduce fat surrounding the muscles in your abdomen by working those muscles. Muscle and fat are two completely different things!

If you ever encounter someone claiming that it is possible to eradicate belly fat by doing some brand-new ab exercise (usually requiring you to pay $19.95 for unnecessary equipment) or turn pounds of fat into muscle, turn the other way and run as fast as you can.

Then Why Do Crunches At All?

What you *will* achieve by doing strength training exercises like crunches is…surprise…stronger muscles!  The exertion will also burn some calories, which will help you to release some overall excess weight.  However, this loss will be extremely minimal.

So what’s the most effective way to burn fat?  Why, I’m so glad you asked!

How to Reduce Fat

Adopting a healthy diet is by far the best way to lose excess weight.

Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule?  I’m sure you have if you’ve ever talked to any reputable person in the health field.  It simply means that 80% of weight loss comes from diet while only 20% is a result of exercise.  I would even go so far as to say that 90% is a direct result of diet!

It’s likely that you know people who exercise hours a day and yet eat a less-than-ideal diet.  The result?  You would never guess that they exercised at all!  They may be very muscular, but no one would ever know because of the predominant layer of adipose (fat) tissue over their muscles.

How to Get Started

The best way to lose weight is to adopt a healthy raw vegan diet.  Not only will eating this way result in weight loss, you will also experience an increase in energy, mental clarity, and improved digestion.

The low raw raw vegan diet I recommend is healthy and simple.  If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be this:

EAT MORE FRUIT, EAT LESS FAT, AND DON’T FORGET YOUR GREENS!

With guidelines that simple, there’s no reason you can’t get started today!

10 Benefits of a Raw Food Diet

Are you really eager to go raw, but just can’t seem to muster up the courage to get started?

These are some of the top 10 benefits of the raw food diet that most every raw foodist has experienced. If this doesn’t convince you to go raw, I just don’t know what will!

#1: Improved Digestion

If I had to give you my top raw food benefit, improved digestion would be it. It is the one result that almost every single person who attempts a healthy raw diet experiences.

Not only that, but it usually occurs very quickly. Many indigestion symptoms go away in just a few short days, if not less.  Whether you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or just the occasional upset tummy, you will see major improvements after going raw.

However, if you continue to abuse the #1 food combining rule, then your results will not be as great. No amount of raw food can undo the effects of the sugar-fat combo.

#2: Permanent Weight Loss

Hmmmm…maybe permanent weight loss should be the top benefit?

I don’t think it’s going too far to say that close to 99.9999999% of people struggle with their weight at some point in their lives. Many of us go on diet after diet after diet, hoping that we will see *some* kind of positive change in our weight.

Unfortunately, the only change that most of us witness is a higher number on the scale. And if we do happen to lose weight, it’s usually at the expense of our health (i.e. calorie restriction, dangerous diet pills, frozen food programs, etc.) and typically comes back to haunt us sooner or later.

On the other hand, eating a healthy raw food diet allows you to lose weight *permanently* while improving your health substantially. Plus, you get to eat *pounds* of food on a daily basis, without any gain or the guilt!

#3: More Energy

Unlike what you read/hear from many well-known raw foodists, raw foods do *not* give you energy.  Nothing you eat does, whether it’s a burger or a banana.  Eating food of any kind *requires* energy, just as everything else that you do during the day requires energy.

What makes following a healthy raw vegan diet truly special is that it requires less energy to process inside your body. 2 pounds of grapes literally takes *minutes* to be fully digested by the body. This is opposed to cooked foods, or even a complicated fatty raw dish, which take hours to be digested.

The one *true* energy provider is sleep, which brings me to benefit #4…

#4: Better Sleep

Since I’ve been raw, I rarely ever feel tired when I get into bed. Even after being raw for so long, I still get ready for bed sometimes and think, “Gee, I’m not going to be able to fall asleep right now. Maybe I should just stay up for a little longer.”

However, I convince myself to get into bed and the moment my head hits the pillow, I feel so relaxed. Within minutes, I’m out.

The best part? When I wake up, I feel completely awake and ready to begin my day. No more groggy mornings for me!

This is a far cry from my bedtime routine from two years ago.

My daily routine was this: feel absolutely exhausted by 4pm. Try not to fall asleep at the wheel on the way to a client’s house. Feel a little better after a 30-minute nap. Feel exhausted again by 7pm. Get into bed still exhausted by 10pm. Remain awake for an hour. Wake up at 7am groggy and grouchy. Repeat.

Yikes, that makes me tired just writing it!

#5: Mental Clarity

I’m sure that many non-raw foodists will disagree with this one. Raw foodists are supposed to be tree-hugging, hippie nut jobs, right?

On a raw food diet, because you are no longer weighing your body down with hard-to-digest cooked foods, you have more energy to use your brain!

Of course, this has a lot to do with sleep as discussed previously.

Because you spend less energy digesting your foods, you sleep more soundly. This means that you have more energy during the day, meaning your thoughts are generally much more clear and your focus greatly improved. You are more mentally, and even emotionally stable.

It’s really a cycle, isn’t it? The more raw foods you eat, the better you sleep. The better you sleep, the more energy you have. The more energy you have, the more mentally stable you are. The more mentally stable, the easier it is to stay raw.

And the longer you stay raw, the healthier you become!

#6: Soft, Smooth, & Clear Skin

To be honest, I’ve always had pretty good skin. I’ve had maybe three blemishes in my entire life. In fact, the worst my skin has ever been was for the first few months *after* I gave up salt! But that’s for another article…

I’m not trying to brag. I just want to be honest. I’m not here to make up crazy transition stories about how going raw made me grow 5 inches taller and gave me the power of flight.

Anyway, I’m sure that many of you struggle with skin problems, whether it’s a blotchy skin tone, dry skin, oily skin, visible pores, blemishes, etc.

You *do not* need an expensive, chemical-laden skin treatment routine that only serves to further irritate your already abused skin. All you need is a good heapin’ helping of water-rich raw fruits and veggies.

And some sunshine couldn’t hurt either.

SIDE NOTE: I did have one skin problem prior to raw: keratosis pilaris (aka chicken skin). Click here to see how I bested it.

#7: Thick, Healthy, & Shiny Hair

I’ve always had really thick hair, but it was very dry and hard to manage before I went raw. The worst part was that I would shed like crazy!

My Mom was always pulling handfuls of my long locks out of the rollers of the vacuum. Yuck!

Now that I eat plenty of nourishing, water-rich foods, my hair is silky and soft. And I’m no longer a shedding machine!

#8: Healthy Teeth & Gums

But aren’t your teeth supposed to rot out of your head when you go raw?

NO! The fact that so many long-term raw foodists have suffered tooth decay is simply a testament to the fact that the mainstream raw food diet *does not work*.

On a healthy raw food diet full of sweet fruit, vegetables and little fat, you will not experience teeth problems. In fact, the condition of your teeth and gums is likely to improve!

The real key is to have a solid dental care system in place and not to make dehydrated foods the base of your diet.

#9: No More Aches, Pains, or Minor Illnesses

How many of you have struggled with “everyday” illnesses and pains such as headaches, migraines, colds, flus, tummy aches, joint pains, muscle cramps, allergies, etc.?

We all have at some point!

Personally, I used to struggle with…

• anemia
• restless leg syndrome
• muscle and joint pains in my legs and feet
• seasonal colds about 3-4 times a year (pretty much whenever the weather changed)
• the flu every couple of years
• headaches
• heavy menstrual flows and horrible cramps in my abdomen and lower back that left me in tears

And of course there were the seemingly random and unexplained aches and pains that would crop up every once in a while.

Every one of these has been *completely eradicated* since I went raw. No more headaches. No more colds. Perhaps best of all, no more heavy periods and gut-wrenching cramps!

Sorry guys, but that really is a big one for the ladies.

#10: Save Some Green

When you decide to take your health into your own hands and go raw, you can expect to save some dough in the process.

No more money wasted on unnecessary drugs, supplements or “superfoods.” No more expensive doctor’s fees. No more high insurance rates.

You can finally focus on *you* and spend that extra time and money on the things that actually make you more…well, you!

Still Waiting to Go Raw?

What are you waiting for? Each day that you remain a slave to your aching back, your extra fat, or even your trip to the local pharmacy, is a day that you could be living raw and loving it!

UPDATE

It’s been over two years and these are still my top raw food benefits. But what about you? Which raw results have you enjoyed the most?

P.S. A raw food diet not giving you the radical health results you’ve been longing for? Click here to see what you’re doing wrong.

You may be surprised to learn how easy it is to go raw the wrong way.

In fact, it’s no secret that most raw foodists are eating a diet that isn’t healthy.

Do you fall into this category? Let’s find out…

Here are 5 warning signs your raw food diet isn’t working:

#1: Indigestion

You should not have any signs of indigestion on a healthy raw food diet. If you’re overly gassy, have smelly gas, experience stomach pain, painful/difficult bowel movements, constipation, or any other signs of indigestion, your raw food diet isn’t working.

Check out these 4 indigestion-causing mistakes that will help you figure out what you’re doing wrong.

#2: Too Much Weight Loss

Too much of anything is a bad thing, even when it comes to weight loss. If you’re losing far too much weight and your body fat is approaching an unhealthy level (below 3-5% for men, below 10-12% for women), your raw food diet definitely isn’t working.

You need to gain some fat by eating more calories and build muscle by strength training.

#3: Cravings All The Time

You should not have overwhelming cravings for cooked foods – or even fatty, salty gourmet raw dishes – nor should you be hungry most of the dayl. If you don’t feel satisfied for long after your raw meals and/or are often tempted by “naughty” foods, your raw food diet isn’t working.

For more on how to eliminate cravings for good, check out my cravings crushing program How to Conquer Your Cooked Food Cravings at the link below:

==> www.CookedFoodCravings.com

#4: Prolonged Detox

Most people will experience some detox when transitioning to a raw food diet. Headaches, fatigue, nausea, runny noses, indigestion, and joint pain are pretty common symptoms. But if you are still experiencing these or any others months later without any let up, your raw food diet isn’t working.

Check out this article for more on the “dreaded diet detox” and this one on how to avoid it.

#5: Low Energy

As stated above, it’s normal to experience some fatigue when you first go raw. But if you still have little energy weeks or months after transitioning, your raw food diet isn’t working.

Too much weight loss and low energy go hand in hand. Those raw foodists who are too thin are typically fatigued as well. You need to eat more calories from fruit and limit your fat intake if you want to have abundant energy.

Be Honest

Many raw foodists have a hard time looking at their diet objectively, even when they are experiencing problems directly related to it. But this is what you must do if you want to achieve optimal health.

So if you’ve been experiencing any of the above warning signs, be honest with yourself and take a good hard look at the foods you’re consuming. Here are some questions to ask:

• Are you eating enough calories from fruit?
• Are you limiting your intake of nuts, seeds, avocados, and other fatty foods?
• Are you getting in your greens?
• Are you limiting your intake of dried fruits, nuts, and other raw food products?
• Are you limiting the amount of salt, spices, and other condiments you consume?
• Are you paying attention to other health factors, like exercise, sleep, and sunshine?

If you answered “No” to one of these questions, that’s a good place to start. If you answered “No” to all of them, then you’ve got some work to do!

Go raw and be fit,

Swayze

P.S. All of the problems above can be linked to eating the wrong raw foods.

Most people who struggle with cravings, indigestion, low energy, weight loss, and detox are those eating the mainstream raw food diet. This diet is far too high in fat and irritating condiments and far too low in nutritious fruits and vegetables.

Why is this way of eating raw so popular? Because it’s tasty, that’s why!

But what most people don’t know – and this is exactly what leads to their inevitable “failure” on raw foods – is that a healthy and sustainable raw food diet that DOES focus on fruits and vegetables can be just as tasty!

Don’t believe me? Check out what satisfied customer Shelah said about my healthy raw recipe e-book Low Fat, Fruit Filled, High Fun Raw Recipes:

Dear Swayze,

I am sooooo happy that I decided to purchase your e-book!

You did a fabulous job putting it together. It’s hard to know where to begin my praises — I know…the recipes of course! 

Even though I’ve been eating completely lfrv for well over 3 years, I can always appreciate a fresh idea. I especially loved the PLANTAIN PUDDING (never had enjoyed plantains til I tried this one!) the SWEET AND SALTY SLAW (gotta love The Date People) and the CARAMEL CAMEL DIP (great for parties). From the savory section, the RED CURRANT PASTA was a novel idea for me (and delicious) and the RADICALLY RAW PIZZA proved to be a great hit around my place!

I really appreciate all the contributors’ notes and your tips — they give you the extra know-how to make the recipes come out perfect.

Your meal plans look great and I would recommend them to anyone, especially newbies who may need to see how it all looks in real life.

Also, thanks for introducing us to your contributors — a nice, personal touch.

So, Swayze, thanks agains for offering such a fabulous book — and at such a great price.

All blessings to you,
Shelah

P.S. Oh, I don’t want to forget to thank you for including the link to the recipe photos — I was drooling before I ever made it to the kitchen!!

Thanks, Shelah!

So if you’re interested in going raw the healthy way, the recipes provided in Low Fat, Fruit Filled, High Fun Raw Recipes will help you do just that.

I’m sure you could gather that much from the title alone!

Anyway, all that is about to change. Next week will be completely dedicated to Your First 30 Days Raw. You’ll learn all about the program, including who the program is for, what is included, and when it will be released (obviously, very soon).

Hope you’re excited!

3 Reasons Why Raw Foods are Not Radical

You might have noticed that the subheading for Fit On Raw is “Raw Food for Practical Fitness”.

Now, the reason I chose this title is because I want to counter the idea that a raw vegan diet is radical.

Sure, eating this way is weird. Not many people eat only fresh produce and you will likely get lots of funny looks while food shopping, eating at restaurants, attending family reunions, etc.

That’s okay. Just because a certain lifestyle is not the norm does not mean it is a radical choice for YOU. If you truly want fantastic results with regards to your health, a low fat raw food diet is the way to go.

Check out 3 reasons why a raw food diet is perfectly practical, not rashly radical.

#1: Performance

There is nothing better than waking up in the morning after a hard day of working, exercising, playing, cleaning, etc. ready and willing to do it all over again.

This was something I never ever experienced on a cooked food diet. I was always tired and rarely ever looked forward to the day ahead. Each and every morning started off with me wishing I had just one more hour of sleep and everything I did during the day was a strain.

A low fat raw vegan diet has given me the energy not only to do anything I need to do each day, but to actually enjoy it!

#2: Punctuality

Practically speaking, punctuality is important. Most of us need to be up at a certain time, we need to be at work at a certain time, we need to be home at a certain time, and we need to be in bed at a certain time.

We need a diet plan that works with our schedule and doesn’t require a lot of fuss.

The answer, of course, is a simple low fat raw vegan diet. I mean, what could possibly be easier, less time-consuming, or less fussy than peeling a banana or chowing down on a head of romaine?!

And even if you prefer recipes over simple mono-meals of fruit, you will still spend much less time in the kitchen eating a low fat raw vegan diet. I make a HUGE raw salad almost every night and this still only takes me about 15-20 minutes. If I prepped everything in advance (e.g. wash and chop the greens), it would take even less time than that.

#3: Permanent Weight Loss

The one that 99.9% of people are interested in, whether they admit to it or not…weight loss!

But this is about more than just vanity. Obesity is linked to all kinds of diseases and conditions, everything from atherosclerosis to acne. Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is vital if you want to avoid illness and live a long life.

This is easily and HEALTHFULLY achieved by following a low fat raw vegan diet. And the best part is that this is the only diet that allows you to eat until you are full!

No more crash dieting. No more restricting calories. No more excessive exercising until exhaustion.

And because you stay satiated, the weight loss is permanent. You won’t constantly be tempted by your old unhealthy favorites and so keeping the weight off will be a breeze.

Once those 10, 50, or 100 pounds are gone, they’re gone for good!

Go raw and be fit,
