Review: The Raw Food Detox Diet

May 9th, 2007          Email This Post        Print This Post

This book was the beginning of actually having a plan for what I eat, instead of just eating “healthier”. This is NOT a diet - diets don’t work. This is a lifestyle change, and can be summed up in two main points:

• Eat whole, unprocessed, natural foods in uncontrolled portion sizes
• Combine those foods properly, for quick exit combinations - following the Fit For Life guideline

While this diet could be very extreme, Rose presents this diet in 5 different levels of detoxification. She warns that if you go completely raw natural foods too quickly, toxins will build up in the body instead of being eliminated, besides for the psychological impracticality of switching your diet so suddenly and completely.
She has a little questionnaire to determine what level you are currently on, and suggest staying at each level for at least one month before moving to a more detoxified level. Each level comes with a sample one week meal plan, with all the recipes included in the back of the book. There are many treats included in the recipes, that are all natural.

She suggests that everyone, even kids, eat only whole grain products, and all adults should combine their food properly. If this is all a person changes for the rest of their life, Rose says this is enough to make a difference.

This detox diet will help you lose weight, feel healthier, have more energy, and eat like never before.
