Raw foodism (or rawism) is a lifestyle promoting the consumption of un-cooked, un-processed, and often organic foods as a large percentage of the diet. If 60-100% of a person's total food consumption is raw food, he/she is considered a raw foodist or living foodist.[1][2] Raw foodists typically believe that the greater the percentage of raw food in the diet, the greater the health benefits. Raw foodism or a raw food diet is usually equated with raw veganism in which only raw plant foods are eaten,[3] but other raw foodists emphasize raw meat and other raw animal products.[4] Depending on the type of lifestyle and results desired, raw food diets may include a selectıon of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds (including sprouted whole grains such as gaba rice), eggs, fish (such as sashimi), meat (such as carpaccio), and non-pasteurized/non-homogenized dairy products (such as raw milk, raw cheese and raw yogurt). Raw foodists can be divided between those that advocate raw vegetarianism or raw veganism, those that advocate a raw omnivorous diet, and those that advocate a diet of only raw animal foods (carnivorous).
Adherents of raw foodism believe that consumption of uncooked foods encourages weight loss and prevents and/or heals many forms of sickness and chronic diseases.[5] Some medical studies have indicated that different forms of raw food diets may lead to various health problems, while other studies have shown positive health outcomes with such diets.

How to Eat a Raw Food Diet
Instructions
Difficulty: Easy Step1Understand the structure of the raw food diet. The typical raw food diet consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, grains, beans, nuts, legumes, seeds, seaweed, freshly squeezed juice, purified water and other nonprocessed foods.
Step2
Learn how to prepare raw food. There are several techniques to use: blending, chopping, soaking and dehydrating. The dehydrator is the only "cooking" that is allowed. It prepares food by blowing hot air under 116 degrees F through the food.
Step3
Use the right equipment. Certain items are essential when preparing a raw food diet. Use a dehydrator and good-quality juicer to make fresh fruit and vegetable juice. Get a blender, processor or chopper to make smoothies, soups, dips and salads. Several large glass containers will come in handy for soaking and sprouting seeds, grains and beans. Also use these containers to store prepared food.
