"Raw food" is vegetable juice, herbal tea, and uncooked fruits and vegetables. Then add smart dieting habits - no late-night eating, reducing cooked foods, and the like. Health, energy and improved skin tone and weight loss could follow.
If you want to feel healthier, gain more energy, improve your skin and lose weight, follow the living/raw diet…results will appear within few days! Here are the rules:
 
  1. Drink fresh Vegetable juices everyday if you can (go to Whole Foods)
  2. Drink herbal tea throughout the day (reduce your coffee consumption)
  3. Try to eat raw food as much as you can. Ex: eat 75% raw/living food and 25% cooked food.
  4. Try to avoid eating late at night (stop eating after 7pm as often as you can…ideally it’s advised to stop eating after 5pm, but not always realistic).
