Raw food - fad or fact?

With Hollywood movie stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Woody Harrelson and tennis star Venus Williams advocating a raw food diet for themselves and their families, some are thinking... Raw food - fad or fact?

As a raw nutrition coach, many people come to me for weight loss reasons and think that going ‘raw’, as it is commonly referred to, is the answer to all their weight problems — a new trendy diet to latch on to.

For me as a coach, it is all about increasing the amount of fresh raw fruit, vegetable, nuts and seeds into a person’s diet. Showing how your health can improve through healthy raw alternatives such as courgette pasta, raw lasagne and even delicious desserts such as raw coconut cake.

It’s not just about eating to lose weight, this is a lifestyle change that has for me, and hundreds of others, altered our long—term health and impacted our lives, by offering increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress, increased positivity and boost your immune system.

Since I began coaching l have seen raw food cafe’s and restaurants popping up all over the UK. The media are writing about it, celebrities endorsing it and many more people looking to combined this healthier way of eating into there everyday lives. The message, that eating raw can improve your health is finally coming across.

With so many of my clients taking on my 50:50 rule, I am seeing amazing results. I am not and never will be a 100% raw foodist. For me it’s all about balance.

Now I really want to help clear up the myth surrounding raw food diets.

Raw doesn’t just mean uncooked, it means not processed, purified or refined, eating food in its natural state. If you have a balanced diet, yet mindfully consume an abundance of natural raw fruit and vegetables, you will be rewarded with increased health and vitality.
