raw food diet?

[TheOak84]

ive been adding raw foods to my menu, along with juices from my juicer 'jack lalane '

im eating about 75% raw, besides meat (except for fish). so ive added:

barley - soaked over night
beans - of all kinds - soaked
all greens
fruits - obviously
oats
oils - EVOO, fish
nuts - non roasted

i still take in dairy, and once in a while a fast food meal, maybe once a week.

ive lost about 4 pounds in 2 weeks, and have been having really good BM's, 4-6 times a day. i eat the same amount of meals, i just feel healthier, and havent lost a bit of strenght, so far. and im eating about the same amount of calories

has anyone else tried this, or read about it?

I've read about the raw food diet, it has some ok points, but overall you're still going to deal with P/F/C intake. Albeit, the health claims might be valid, but if you're looking for a shorter term fat-loss diet -- this is not for you. This diet is based on a claimed healthy lifestyle more then anything.

I fathom cutting sodium and preservatives + hydrogenated oils from you diet would alone be a good justification for the weight loss. Althought, IMO, you could get the same thing from an organic food diet.
