The raw food diet is one of the healthiest diets, as it can help you to avoid common illnesses and serious life-threatening diseases. The diet requires that you consume most of your foods in their raw state, and that you avoid processed and fast foods.
It is a difficult diet to stay on, as society does not support the raw food diet. As a result, when hunger strikes there usually are no healthy snacks available at the vending machine, nor are there any raw food places that you can go to and eat. And so you often end up settling for fast foods or other junk foods.
But despite of that, there are many things that you can do to help you to avoid junk foods.
Never Allow Hunger
The best thing that you can do for yourself, especially when you first start on the diet, is to never allow hunger. Once you are used to the diet, then you will be able to handle hunger better as your food withdrawal symptoms will not be as severe. But when you first start you should avoid hunger whenever possible.
The best way that you can avoid hunger is to eat lots of healthy high calorie foods such as nuts and seeds, avocados and coconuts. These healthy calories will not only fill you up, but they will satisfy your cravings so that you can avoid other high calorie junk foods.
A good practice is to make yourself a trail mix of your favorite nuts and seeds, as well as dried fruits and take them along with you where ever you go. Then when hunger strikes you are prepared, and thus you will be able to avoid the vending machine.
Eat a Variety of Foods
High calorie foods are essential in helping to satisfy food cravings, but you also need a variety of other foods such as leaf vegetables, root vegetables, sprouts, fresh fruits and berries, as well as many superfoods that you can only obtain at the health food store such as raw cacao, maca powder, goji berries, spirulina and many others.
Buy New Appliances
Just because you are on a raw food diet does not mean that you cannot enjoy a variety of foods. All the tastes and textures that you are used to on the conventional diet, can be mimicked with raw recipes, but you will have to get some new appliances.
The new appliances will allow you to make your own juices, milks, flours, and breads and cookies. Yes you can still have cookies and other delicious deserts.
Some of the most popular appliances include a juicer, blender, magic bullet, sprouter, grain mill, dehydrator, nut milk bags, spiral veggie cutter, and others.
