I would like to share a technique to lose a lot of weight really fast. I think that diet is an overlooked method of losing weight. If you know exactly what kinds of foods to eat, you can reach your weight loss goals simply by changing your diet. The secret is called a �raw food� diet.

A raw food diet is a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Keep all the food you eat raw. When you eat foods in their natural state, you avoid a lot of excess fat, sodium, and oils. Eating a pure diet will restore you body ph or acidity level. An alkaline or basic ph is necessary for optimal body functions. When you change your diet to raw, your body will begin the detoxification process and your ph will go from acidic to basic.

Changing your body ph will reduce your craving for �junk� food. As in my experience, I craved what I ate and lost all desire for what I avoided. Raw foods had increased in pleasure of taste while processed, or cooked foods were tasteless. I felt so much better eating healthy, as it restored my body to its maximal function. The former junk foods, cooked foods, and fatty foods, I previously ate no longer contributed to an acidic environment when I removed them from my system!

In addition to a change in ph, and eating healthy, you will have the benefits of eating fewer calories and being able to burn fat more quickly. Eating raw will make you full faster, so you will also eat less. An increased in energy is also a benefit of eating raw.

It will help you become more active, eat healthy and stay eating healthy; your body will function to its maximal potential, and your natural ph will be restored. Above all else, you will lose pounds and pounds of weight really fast!

I have no idea why anyone would want to try some foods raw. I accidentally ate raw meat once and I got really sick. I would rather eat burnt than raw. Sorry!

The original author said, "A raw food diet is a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. " Raw means not cooked. He/she isn't talking about meat in this case.

Chances are, a person will never totally change their diet and stay with it for very long. We'll more than likely revert back to our old eating habits in spite of any weight loss. One needs to be aware or what they eat and it's effect on one's weight. Participating in something physical everyday or physical exercise is the way to go. A number of years ago, i started running and i lost 20 pounds that summer. I didn't change my eating habits except that i reduced the amount of sugar i ate. Years later I'm still at a good weight and still exercising. If you don't exercise, you are not preparing yourself for the future! If all you do is diet, you may eat right when you get old but you will be skinny and weak and won't be able to get around very well�fwiw
