Any One Ever Been On The Raw Food Diet?
I have been on the Raw Foods Diet (eating only raw fruits, veggies, nuts, coconut oil - no meat or dairy) for about 1 year. Initially I felt great so I was very excited but then when i went on a month of fruit & nuts only - I noticed my hair thinning and my skin getting really dry. I started craving raw egg yolks and I began eating about 4 at a time (no whites). I went on DR. MERCOLA website and he recommended adding raw egg yolks to your diet. I did and my skin regained moisture, no more hair loss and my nails began growing!!
Right now I am rethinking that the initial positive aspect of the raw foods diet is short lived!! People on a raw foods forum complain about drastic weight loss, hair loss, digestive disturbances!!
I just want to be healthy and normal - that's all!! I also came a cross this website that I found really interesting as it doean't restrict too much food except that it must be whole & natural - no artificial products. DR. WESTON PRICE
Your input is much appreciated!!
