Raw Food Diet.. what are the benefits of this lifestyle?

[Anonymous]

I recently saw some information on the internet about a raw food diet, but only know some of the information... If there is anyone on this diet could you tell me what you have noticed being on it? Some people say it can change your eye color... is that true? And how much weight can I expect to lose in about 30 days if I weigh 150 and am 5.2 female going on this diet.

I have been drinking raw organic fruit/vegetable juice just about daily for 2 months. I def do not eat 100% or probably even majority raw food diet! I eat the typical southern American diet complete with fried foods, grease, lots of meat and regular takeout. that being said, just adding the wholesome raw juice (not blended but juice) has changed my life in a great way.

my eyes started off so deep brown they look black unless you are 3 inches away from my face. now my eyes (the white part and iris) seem shinier, and the pigment is a little lighter. you can see more of a clear brown and the darkest part is around the rim instead of the same color all over

I don't keep track of my weight but I feel smaller and my clothes fit me better. I lost weight in all the right places. my waist is smaller so that makes my figure look more shapely. this is with no major diet or exercise changes

I would suggest that you not think about it in the frame of "how much weight can I lose in 30 days" but "how can I begin to change my life for the better". it is not a diet but a long term change that has weight loss as a benefit.

Well said... it's about lifestyle change, not a temporary weight loss technique.
