List of Raw Foods

This list of raw foods contains fruits and vegetables that are a powerhouse of nutrients and they are low glycemic, meaning you can eat as much of them as you desire and not gain weight! They are high in fiber, slow to digest and rich in nutrients you need for high energy. Most vegetables and fruits, as you will see from these lists, are low glycemic although fruits that are too ripe may become high glycemic. Raw foods, the fruits and vegetables, are a highly nutritious way to maintain fat loss.

Fruits

apple	dried apples	avocado	blackberries
blueberries	raspberries	strawberries	persimmon
orange	cherries	nectarine	figs, fresh only
honeydew	melon	kiwi	lemon
lime	mandarin	oranges	pear
peach	tangerine	grapes

We are recommending that you eat fruits and vegetables raw but if you do eat canned fruit make sure that it is packed in water or in it's own juice so no sugar or artificial sweeteners are added. It's best to avoid fruit juices since they are so concentrated they will be high glycemic and give you a glycemic load. You could drink some occasionally if it is 100% fruit juice and diluted at least half and half with water. More pulp is better. Fresh squeezed is better yet. Juicing vegetables is different. As long as they are low glycemic you can drink as much as you want and of course fresh is better. If you buy vegetable juice look for low sodium. You will not be getting the fiber so be sure to eat enough foods that are high in fiber too.

Vegetables

Artichokes	asparagus	Brussels sprouts	bean sprouts
black eyed peas	broccoli	cabbage	cauliflower

Raw Food Weight Loss

Is there such a thing as raw food weight loss? I would say eating raw foods is an excellent way to manage your weight effectively and support optimum health and energy. A raw foods diet even if it's just part of your daily eating means that you are eating fresh, live foods that are full of enzymes and fiber. They are packed with nutrients since heating them reduces nutrients. Get into the habit of splurging on fresh, local produce at your farmer's market and you will be eating seasonally (what's ripe) and low glycemic if you choose from this list of raw foods. This will support fat loss and excellent health! Remember that a little more than half of what you eat all day needs to be vegetables and fruits and the whole grains and legumes.
