Raw Food Diet Sheet
  • Drink___________quarts of water per day. This will help lower the salt load in your body. Each time you pass urine you pass a certain amount of salt.
  • No caffeine. This means no coffee, tea, or soda or any other food that contains caffeine. Included in this is de-caf. There is no de-caf, it all contains some caffeine and other harmful chemicals that raise your blood pressure and affect your heart.
  • No dairy. This includes milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, ice cream, pizza, macaroni and cheese or any product made from milk.
  • For two weeks eat only raw food. That means fruit and vegetables. You may eat any fruit but if you want to lose weight none from the tropical family, like banana, papaya, mango, and pineapple. Also no nuts or avocado.


The following are some vegetables you might not of thought of.

Lettuce, tomato, green beans, Jerusalem artichokes, onion, peas, snow peas, jimica, carrots, cabbage, bok choy, peppers, mushrooms, celery, cucumber, yam radish, sprouts of any kind, bamboo shoots, endive, ginger root, greens of all kinds (beet, collard, dandelion, mustard, kale, turnip, swiss chard), parsley, pimiento, sauerkraut (fresh not canned), scallions, spinach, turnip, water chestnut, watercress.

For dressing you can use lemon juice and any type of vinegar. Blend a tomato and add spices for a dressing.

Now after the two weeks you can start to steam any vegetable that you have been eating raw. You can also add brown rice( the real kind-not uncle Ben’s) and either chicken or fish which is baked only. You may eat the meat 4 times during each week.

After the second, two week period you now start to add one food each day. This should be a single entity food. You wouldn’t have a bowl of stew because it has a lot of things in it. You need to keep a food diary and track each food you eat and how it makes you feel. If you find a food that makes you feel bad then put a star by it and come back in two weeks and try it again. We all have days that we don’t feel good and you can’t blame everything on food.

The reason for doing this is to find a diet that your body responds to in a positive way. You will notice that while you are on the raw diet your thinking will clear, you will have more energy and in general feel better. This is the way you feel when you eat the foods that are best suited for your body. If you have hypertension or diabetes you need to discuss that with me before you start the diet.

While on this diet if you are a male you may lose between 10-18 lbs and if you are a female between 8-14 lbs. If you don’t want to lose weight then eat more of the tropical fruits and avocado. Under certain circumstances we will add another high density carbohydrate to avoid weight loss.
