I just watched a documentary on going on a raw food diet, and from what I saw it’s supposed to make you feel a LOT better, but how would you go about starting this diet without spending TOO much money?
Fresh produce can be costly, especially in winter when a lot of things are imported. You’ll have to compare prices in the stores and markets in your area to find the best buys.
Lots of help online, some may link to local groups:

I’ve been reading a lot about eating a raw food diet, and
i find a lot of what i read interesting–but wonder about the claims made that our bodies do better on raw food than cooked. If anyone has any conclusive scientific information
about it, i’d like to hear about it.
You should eat 80% of all your vegetables in the raw form. Cooking them cooks the nutrients out
Ok so today was my 4th day of liquid fasting. I decided im done with the liquid fast and wanted to go onto doing the raw food diet. I want to start today, what should i start out by eating?
lettuces salad with oil n vinegar little veggie soup fruits bananas apples go also with avocados for healthy proteins Make sure every day you eat a nice soup onions cabbage celery potatoes.
I feed my dog a mix of a little kibble with a raw food diet which consists of venison, chicken and egg. I was just wondering what other people used for their dogs and what you thought about the diet. It works well with my dogs and I don’t have any weight problems and they have great coats. They really love the raw over the kibble that is for sure. It is a little time consuming to get everything ready for them as I have 8 dogs but I think it is worth it in the long run.
I feed raw. So I obviously like it.
I would not suggest feeding kibble and raw together.as dogs digest each differently. if you want to do half raw half kibble. I would do one raw meal a day and 1 kibble a day.
I keep Orijen dog kibble around in case I forget to thaw a frozen meal. Also use it for his treat ball.
I use chicken (main meat source), Turkey(2-4 times a week) and some form of fish 2 times a week) every week. along With organs every few days, and eggs every FEW days.
Dog kibble i only 60 or so years old.
So technically raw it has been around much longer.
My dog doesn’t well on dog food. he gets loose runny stools (he has been on everything from 6 star gourmet food (orijen, taste of the wild welness ETC) to lowest junk possible such as ol roy or kibbles and bits, Purina ETC.
RAW is the only way keeps a shiny Lovely coat,firm small tools. his teeth are remarkable my vet can not believe a 6.5 year old dog still has pearly white teeth not a sign of tarter, and I hae never bushed them.
My pug is prone to struvite crystals and I am curious about the benefits of a raw food diet for his condition. Does anyone have any information? I just want him to be healthy!
A dog that develops struvite crystals should be on a food with a reasonable protein level (arounbd 18-25%) that promotes a healthy urine pH. I use California Natural for my own dogs (one also used to develop crystals). There are prescription diets available, as well, though they cost more, and often, there are healthier choices available. If the crystals continue to recur, a prescription diet may be the best choice. They haven’t been back in my dog since I switched food.
Im going to go on a raw food diet, and i know lots of people lose weight on it, but i was just wondering if you can get actually skinny on it. All of the before and after pictures I’ve looked at show people who’ve lost a lot of weight, but none of them are *skinny*. Help please?
I know lots of skinny people that are on a raw food diet. Though, they do it for political or health reasons, not for losing weight. They are also physically active, so they are skinny, but muscular. I’d say if any diet would help you get "skinny", this would be it. Remember to drink lots of water, and please do some research about nutritional requirements before doing it. If you become very tired, you may be anemic, and you should watch for this, especially if you’ve never done a vegetarian/vegan diet before.
I have 2 five months old cats. I have them on a raw food diet. i give them chicken mixed with wiskers satchets in the morning and kangaroo meat mixed at nite and give then biscuits during the day. I have read heaps of good things about raw food

I’ve be transitioning to Primal Dog Food patties. So far there have been no problems but I’m not convinced that raw is the right diet.
when I fed raw, it was at home raw, not commercial raw. But I never had a problem, and i’ve never heard of anyone i know that feeds either having a problem. Raw’s always been the best to go, even though vets love to say otherwise. Mostly because they don’t trust people to do it right. That and they get loads of kickbacks from the dog food companies to fund their businesses and schools.
my nutritionist has put me on a raw food diet because I am approaching morbid obesity and choloesterol is high. Im gung ho about it and determined. just wondering how long it would take for noticeable weight loss ?
I didn’t have a detox past about 4 days and it wasn’t bad for me… after that… If you are big like you say… all the roughage that you will be eating will clean you out quickly, which will amount to more than you think. After that it will begin to rapidly drop your weight as you lose… it may go through a stationary period after you lose some weight for a week or so while your body adjusts, but stick with it and it will net you massive loss quickly… good luck.
