In the world, there are many different diets, and not enough life to try them all. Diets are divided into species depending on the country, on the products included in the composition and on the duration. And you, for sure, know that almost all diets have a short duration: from three days to a couple of months.
And no matter how it sounded regrettable, it is necessary to recognize that diets are ineffective for the discharge of excess weight and its retention. And all because they dramatically knock you out of the habitual diet. You forcibly consume the products on the list and as a result of the sharp cuts in the diet you quickly lose an unlimited amount of kilograms. But attention: after the diet has come to an end, you again type or collect these the thrown kgs, moreover and with an increase. And you lament why you suffered so much and everything returned. The fact is that during the diet the organism experiences stress, it considers the current situation as extreme and in the future it stores kilograms in the reserve.
What is the difference between raw food and other types of food?
It's no secret that in order to lose excess pounds and improve health, we need to eat only live foods. It is on this principle that raw food is based.
It implies the use of living plant products that have not undergone any treatment (thermal, chemical).

After all, it takes much more time to digest it. Raw food is also called the nutrition of the Stone Age and it's not hard to guess why.
