Raw Foods Diet Done Easy: Presenting Useful Raw Foods Diet Plans for Success

With each passing day, several people across the nation are rediscovering the benefits of the raw foods diet. From improved sleep, to anti-aging benefits, to improved health and vitality, raw foods diet plans are becoming more and more popular and in demand and with due cause.

The irony of the whole occurrence is this, just as renowned body builder Stephen Arlin states in his book: Raw Power; "Being a raw foodist isn't something you become, it is what you already are"

Nothing comes close to being the most natural way to eat as using raw foods diet plans as the guideline for eating and perhaps this is because the items consumed (mostly fruits and veggies) are our most naturally biologically conducive meals.

Raw Foods Diet Done Easy: List of Raw Foods to Consume

To implement the use of raw foods diet plans, to learn more about raw foods diet, or combining the raw foods diet and weight loss strategy to shed pounds, one needs to know the categories of raw foods, some basic guidelines for using raw foods diet plans and tips to succeed at this radical lifestyle.

That said here is a list of raw foods commonly found in raw foods diet plans:

Fruits:
1. Sweet Fruits: Tropical Fruits, Dates, Persimmons, Sweet Grapes
2. Acid Fruits: Lemons, Citrus, Tomatoes.
3. Sub-Acid Fruits: Apples, Pears, Tart Grapes
4. Melons
5. Fatty Fruits: Avocadoes, Durian

Vegetables: (aka List of Raw Low Carbohydrate foods)
1. Lettuce and Celery
2. Non-Starchy Greens: Spinach, Cabbage,
3. Fruit Vegetables: Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers
4. Root Vegetables: Carrots, Celeriac

The items above (vegetables...that is) comprise items you will see on a list of raw low carbohydrate foods.

Nuts and Seeds.

These are the items one is most likely to find in raw foods diet plans.

Now, let's go over some rules of food combining:

Raw Foods Diet Done Easy: Learn to Combine Your Foods Correctly

To avoid fermentation in the intestines, indigestion, water retention and toxicity, do apply these simple techniques in eating for health

1. Eat sweet fruits with other varieties of sweet fruits only.
They may combine with sub-acid fruits

2. Eat Acid fruits alone or with Lettuce and Celery. In little quantities they may combine with Avocadoes or Nuts and Non-Starchy vegetables.

3. Avocadoes and Olives are best eaten with non-starchy vegetables. I believe mashed, avocadoes combine great with boiled potatoes.

4. Melons, as a rule eat alone or leave alone.

Food Combining: Combinations to Avoid

When practicing proper food combining as rule for eating healthier, these are some combinations you especially want to avoid.

1. Starch and Acid (e.g. Tomato and Potato)
2. Protein and Protein (Avocadoes and nuts)
3. Sweets and Starch (Maple Syrup and Rice)

Additional Guidelines for Success With Raw Foods Diet Plans

1. Never eat until you're hungry and guidelines to know when you are in true hunger are as follows:
-The stomach aspires.
-The mouth salivates even at the sight of plain lettuce.
-The mind is happy and clear
-It happens usually after noon when the body is its building stage.

2. Do not drink liquids of any kind with your meals. It only dilutes the digestive juices in your stomach leading to indigestion and constipation.

3. As a rule of thumb, don't drink anything but water an hour or 2 prior to and/or after eating your meals.

4. One truth regarding the conditions of the human blood found out by medical doctors is that acidity is a sign of disease. This readily happens with the mixed eater when he fills his stomach daily with meat, starch, confectioneries and fruit all at the same time.

Suffice it to say being raw is a radical approach to eating and should not be taken lightly at all, take it from a mostly raw (but always mucus-poor) diet eater, it is perhaps one of the most underrated or otherwise unrecognized methods of eating, but like you very well know raw foods diet plans are the best and now with the tips presented above you will be well grounded enough to succeed at implementing a raw approach to nutrition.

In Health.
