Why eat raw food diet is the question I’m asked a lot by most people want to lose their weight. The raw food diet mean the food is uncooked –never heated above 42 C/118 F degrees and preferably, unpressed — as fresh or wild as possible and organic –  no irradiation, preservatives, pesticides.

It is believed that cooking denature the enzymes presented in food. Enzymes help you digest your food and absorb nutrients. Your body can create enzymes but that process takes a lot of energy. This process makes you feel tired and heavy after a cooked food meal.


Further, your body has a limited amount of enzymes that it can produce. If the enzymes supply is finished, body organs will function less and less. It will accelerate aging.

Cooking food can destroyed most vitamins in food. For example, the cancer-fighting compounds in broccoli, sulforaphanes, are greatly reduced when broccoli is cooked. Certain vitamins, such as vitamin C and folate, are destroyed by heat.

Due to raw food diet is differences to the conventional diet, it reduces a lot of Calorie and carbohydrate intaken. Also, due to the high water and fiber content, it is hard to overeat on a raw food. that is why eating raw food diet is much helpful for people who want to make weight loss successfully.
