List of Raw Foods

Most vegetables and fruits as you will see from this list of raw foods are low glycemic, although fruits that are too ripe (adding concentrated sugars) may become high glycemic. A raw food diet plan, including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, is a highly nutritious way to maintain fat loss. It doesn't mean you have to eat only raw food but it does mean eating your produce mostly uncooked.

Low Glycemic Fruits

Each fruit on the list of raw foods above is low glycemic. I am recommending that you eat fruits and vegetables mostly fresh and uncooked. If you choose to eat canned fruit make sure that it is packed in water or in it's own juice so that 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. Although you could drink some juice 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 vegetable juice as you want and of course fresh is better. If you are juicing greens you will be giving your blood chemistry an alkaline boost and helping to balance your blood sugar. If you buy commercial vegetable juice rather than juicing your own, look for low sodium on the label. You will not be getting the fiber so be sure to eat enough foods that are high in fiber too.

Low Glycemic Vegetables

Raw Food Weight Loss

Is there such a thing as raw food weight loss? Absolutely! The more raw fruits and vegetables you eat the less you will want highly processed foods which are the high glycemic ones. Eating raw foods is an excellent way to manage your weight effectively and support optimal health and energy. A raw foods diet plan 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. Every vegetable on the list of raw foods above is low glycemic.

Get into the habit of splurging on fresh, local produce at your farmer's market and you will be eating seasonally. The produce will be low glycemic if you choose from the list of raw foods here. It will have the optimum nutrients because it is the freshest food you can buy. Vine ripened produce has nutrients that are missing in produce picked green. In fact, there is no comparison in terms of nutritional content.

This list of raw foods will support fat loss and excellent health! They go together. The more nutition in your food the more your body can use it for energy and the less need there is to store it as fat. Most raw foods are low glycemic and do not raise your blood sugar. Remember that a little more than half of what you eat all day needs to be vegetables and fruits.
