Raw Food Diet Basics
A raw food diet is not just to lose weight naturally, but it is also a healthier way of eating, and it aids with your digestive tract. The raw food diet is not just a new fad, many cultures before ours ate their food raw because it was healthier.
When you eat vegetables and fruits raw, you absorb their nutrients better. Cooking them lessens their nutritional quality. Also, many people cook in butter or oil which adds saturated and hydrogenated fats to their diets,which aren't healthy.
Nowadays, many people switch to a raw food diet just to lose weight more naturally, but they lose weight just because they get healthier. The raw food diet is because food purists understand we should eat food in its most original state, the way God made it. This is not advised for meat or poultry, and there has been a debate on raw milk for years.
People on a raw food diet concentrate mostly on raw fruits, vegetables and sprouts. Fruits and vegetables are healthier eaten raw, are very satisfying, and they provide antioxidants that keep your body healthy.
Some people on a raw food diet eat sushi, but raw seafood is an acquired taste, and many raw foodists shun any animal products. Salmon is often eaten raw by some, if it has been cured, but check how it was prepared.
Nuts are eaten by many raw foodists for protein, but nuts can be more difficult to digest. Chew the nuts as much as possible, so your digestive tract doesn't have to work as hard. Almonds, cashews and walnuts are the best nuts to eat raw. Don't eat just nuts, but balance them with fruits to aid digestion.
The raw food diet let you to eat all the raw food you want, so people can diet with raw food and never feel hungry. They can still stuff themselves, and lose weight.

Genesis 1:29 tells man "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed which is upon the face of the earth and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food."
God also grants Adam dominion over fish, birds, cattle, and every creeping thing, but makes no suggestion that the man should eat them. The indication that under ideal circumstances dietary needs would be met without blood and death, even in the animal kingdom, appears again in Isaiah 11: 6-7:
"And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox."
Wild cereal grasses such as einkorn, emmer wheat, and barley are thought to have been gathered by nomads in Northern Palestine as early as 9000 years ago.
In Daniel Chapter 1, "pulse (from the Latin "puls") specifically refers to legumes such as lentils and beans, but in this instance may simply have been a generic term for vegetable foods of any sort." (from "Bible Foods" at members.tripod.com/~Barquentine/edt.html).
Jesus Christ / Immanuel Yeshua Messiach was considered by many to be God's Messenger, after the Old Testament Prophets.
"The Spirit is Willing, but the Flesh is Weak".
Jesus taught those who were weak to eat raw food and purify the body, so the mind and spirit could then commune more fully with the father by meditation and prayer. See Essene Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ (translated into old Slavic by Saint Jerome in the 3rd Century, and always venerated by the Eastern Orthodox church, it was preserved in the Benedictine monastery on Mount Cassio and in the archives of the Hapsburgs in Austria)
Whether you believe or not that Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, Moses, Daniel, Buddha, Lao Tsu and other prophets and teachers taught fasting and raw foods, you will find that you feel a lot better when you eat raw food, and many illnesses disappear when you eat a lot of it.
