The Raw Food Diet Plan... Apologize for the late post. Today we look at the raw food diet plan. What does a raw food diet plan look like? Ie, what sorts of food can be expected and can you lose weight on the raw food diet? Below raw food diet from (thebestofrawfood/raw-food-diet-plan.html) Breakfast Fresh fruit, coconut water or green juice, oatmeal. Lunch Super foods smoothie, cucumber sandwich or coleslaw (Cucumber Sandwich, 1 cucumber, 1 avocado (small cubes), 1 tomato small cubes), Squeeze of lime, salt & (cayenne)pepper, few cilantro leafs Dinner Soup and spaghetti (Avocado Carrot Soup, 1 Avocado, 2 Medium Carrots, 1/4 cup Almond or Sesame Milk, 1 teaspoon Ginger (finely chopped), 1/4 Lemon, 2-4 drops Stevia or 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, or maple sirup (optional), pinch cayenne pepper, Pure Water (until you get desired consistency). Drinks Pure water, fresh vegetable juice, smoothies, coconut water, nut milk. The good thing about the diet above is the amount of fresh foods that are hopefully contained in the foods. The worry is the amount of protein not contained in the diet. Almond and coconut milk containing contain less than 5g of protein for upto 240g of Almond milk, which contains mostly water. Protein from vegetable sources are less absorbed than those from animal protein, meaning you have to eat more vegetable protein to asbosrb as much as you would from animal protein. Raw vegan protein sources tend to be low in biological value (BV), a measurement that tracks how much protein is used by the body—and how much is simply excreted. Five grams or protein from tomatoes is not absorbed as completely as five grams of protein from an egg. You don’t digest 100% of any food you eat, and cellulose (abundant in ‘high protein’ greens) causes a notable amount of protein to pass through your system undigested. For instance, even though spinach is 30% protein by calorie (about 1 gram per cup), you’ll only be absorbing and utilizing a fraction of this—unless you’ve juiced the spinach or chewed each bite for ten minutes. The highest-energy raw foods (fruits and fats) are also the lowest-protein whole foods in existence, but these are what form the bulk of most raw diets. Refined raw foods such as oils automatically lower your protein intake by providing calories without any amino acids. Modern fruit is verifiably lower in protein than wild, uncultivated fruit, and many nuts (such as almonds) are surprisingly low in protein. from: (rawfoodsos/2010/02/09/the-great-protein-debate-part-1/) A raw food diet doesnt mean a no meat diet but eating raw meat or other raw creatures as its dangers as you are not alway aware of how healthy the animal or creature you are getting your meat source from. The raw food diet is not for the faint hearted and requires a lot of commitmment and planning. Its not the best diet for those who have been struggling with their weight to adapt to or for the lazy.
