Raw Food Diet Study

featherish said: "It seems like a totally different way to do things. If you maintain your health, it is better than a lot of other things you can do. I'm guessing that is how our ancestors ate a long time ago. They had to eat what the earth provided, they didn't have Kraft foods to do it for them."

They had stronger bones than what researchers thought they would, and higher levels of Vitamin D. Probably from the chlorophyl that veggies have."

Holly said: "That sounds interesting, however, not very practical. It seems like everyone in your cirlce would have to follow the diet. I've always thought how nice it would be to have a personal chef. I don't care to try the raw foods diet, however, if a chef would make all my meals with the perfect balance of whole grains, lean protein, and produce...well, that would be great. Then all I would need is a cute personal trainer. :cool:"

Holly said: "A lot of raw nuts would help keep calories in a healthy range and add protein."

Qian said: "It just seems like it would be hard to get enough calories in a day to be on a diet like this. Especially if you lifted weights or wanted to tone muscles. I just don't think that would be possible on a diet like this, or at least you wouldn't be able to have full muscles, they would be very lean, i think."
