Post by Teresa Cheong, RightEatingHabits.com – I FOLLOW a pretty healthy diet to help me lose weight naturally and to keep the weight under control, but eating raw foods to lose weight? Never. Until I met a raw food chef at a health product launch. The young raw food chef’s clear glowing skin and pencil slim fitness are testimony that this thing called raw foods do work. I was intrigued.
The next day, while shopping for my week’s supply of organic vegetables at my neighborhood organic grocer, I picked up a packet of organically-grown French Beans, washed them very, very lightly, and ate them raw.
The first bite? It was sensational.
Adding Raw Foods To My Meals
I was pleasantly surprised by the tingling sensation of energy I felt circulating on the surface of my cheeks when I had my first bite of the organic raw greens!
Since that day. I have been faithfully adding more raw foods – raw French beans, simple salads, raw scallions, raw onions to my meals. I love the expansive energy, the instant high I get from eating raw foods. Naturally, when I say raw foods, I mean organic raw greens and not any other four-legged life form!
The results of eating more raw foods are pleasing. Just last week, a friend casually commented: “Your complexion looks very good. What did you do?” Nah, it wasn’t a facial.
Why Eat Raw Foods To Lose Weight?
Three major reasons why adding more raw foods to your diet can help you lose weight – and make you feel and look better.
1. The Living Enzymes in Raw Foods increase the body’s metabolic rate. Processed or cooked foods kill the microorganisms that are good for your digestive system. With higher metabolism, you naturally lose weight faster!
2. Raw foods make tasty low-calorie and high energy snacks. Healthy snacking keeps the body’s metabolic rate up so you are burning calories constantly throughout the day.
3. Raw foods added to a regular diet energize your body. Imagine getting a high dosage of energy simply from eating. From eating raw foods!

A 100 % Raw Food Diet To Lose Weight Naturally?
Is there a need to follow a strict raw food diet in order to lose weight naturally? Personally, I don’t.
I make food choices based on the low glycemic principles, but am gradually adding more raw foods as I enjoy the refreshing energy boosts from eating raw foods.
