Question: Can you outline the raw food detox diet for me please? I saw the last few minutes of an ad on television and am intrigued.

Answer: The raw food detox diet is a fairly straightforward diet that promotes overall colon health. Many people only eat raw foods for their entire dietary intake, but this can be a difficult lifestyle change you may not be willing to undergo.

The plan involves eating only raw foods. It is best if you can also obtain organically grown foods which do not use any chemicals during their growth.

Some common foods that are eaten while one is on the raw food diet include:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Grains
• Dried fruits
• herbs and spices

Some people also include fish in this diet for protein, but beans can be substituted as well. The reason this diet works is that you will be consuming less calories and you feel full for longer as it is more difficult for your body to break down raw foods than processed foods.

The raw food detox diet can be followed for weeks, months, or even years. We hope that this answered your question, but if you require more information please do not hesitate to ask.
