Watt Food
Living only on raw organic blended fruits,vegetables & nuts smoothies?
I am wondering if anybody of you know somebody that lives only by drinking raw fruits,vegetables & nuts smoothies. Not eating anything else. Not cooked food, not junk food. Just blended liquid fruit, vegetables & nuts ( pulp and SKIN... blended into a powerful 1300 - 1500 watts blender ) all liquified ready to drink ?
It makes a lot of sense to me for different reasons and I am thinking of doing that. But I wanted to know if any of you know, or have known anybody that did that for an extended period of time and what the results where ?
Thanks
I've known a few people who have followed this diet and they weren't healthy. They usually went back to their old ways(which wasn't necessarily bad) since even a very dedicated person can get sick of drinking fruit/nut smoothies every day. While Raw Food diets may make good cleansing or weight loss diets, I don't think they make good long-term diets. A 100% raw vegan diet is just too extreme. I think 75% raw is more reasonable although you may have some problems if you don't plan things right, but in both cases you have to take supplements.
The only people capable of being healthy 100% raw vegans are people who run health resorts that specialize in raw foodism, and even then these people are often not ideally healthy. If they work at a raw food health resort, they have immediate access to a lot of fresh produce and raw foods all day and every day like sprouts, smoothies, fermented foods, raw soups, dehydrated foods, and juices. Some large health-food stores that prepare much of their own food may also afford some of their staff the opportunity to live mostly raw as well. In the "real world", outside of a health resort, most people don't have the time to prepare a wide variety of raw foods every day. Most people don't even have time to cook every day either. Eating large amounts of fruits and nuts has a laxative effect. A diet consisting mostly of raw, fleshy fruits is a diet that relies largely on simple sugars, and is likely to be short of protein(almost unheard of in the developed world). This can do enormous damage to your teeth as well as to your health. I've even heard stories of some extreme fruitarians losing many of their teeth, although I haven't met any personally.
I've experimented with raw-foodism for nearly 6 months and while I felt better at first, I was likely deficient in a number of nutrients after a few weeks. I wouldn't advice it except as a short-term cleansing or weight-loss diet, and would suggest talking with your doctor before trying out any "extreme" diets(I think the standard American diet is pretty extreme as well). I'm satisfied with being a ovo-vegetarian who eats a 75% cooked Food Diet.
