Because cooking food can destroy valuable enzymes and removes nutrients from the food, consuming fruits, veggies, and nuts raw is the way to get the most out of every calorie. It scrapes the spackle off of the colon, & hydrates the system. It's almost like your body hits the "reset" button.
A raw food fast can be done for any length of time. Typically, for the first time, a day or two in duration is what is recommended. Towards the end, the body feels amazingly clean. The bowels change. The skin becomes vibrant and flushed. The eyes are whitened and brightened. One knows when it's time for the raw food fast to be over by listening and responding to the body.
To do a raw food fast, only drink herbal tea or water. There is no coffee, soda, iced tea, juice, or alcohol. There is no sugar. Concentrate on dark green, leafy vegetables. Consume fruits and vegetables with the skin on them. Breakfast should be three different kinds of pieces of fruit. Lunch and dinner should be large salads that include leafy vegetables, carrots and celery, red onions, nuts, and other veggies that you like. There is no dairy, no meat, & no animal products of any kind. Salad dressing should be homemade balsamic vinagrette.
Timing is important, so the first time you do a raw food fast, choose one or two consecutive days where you don't have a lot going on. Plan for it by shopping appropriately.
