Weight Loss the Natural Way

By: Lambert Klein

If you want natural weight loss and improve your health, then
consider a raw food diet as an option. There are many benefits
including a stronger immune system.

Many believe that a raw vegan diet is the natural diet for
humans. It seems like people on raw food diets can eat almost as
much as they want and still maintain a healthy weight.

Cavemen didn't eat cooked foods until after they learned how to
use fire. Then they slowly started to incorperate it into their
diets. Once they begin using fire they slowly incorporated
cooked foods into their diet.

This appears to make sense. Raw foods contain all the natural
enzymes that assist you to completely digest your food without
putting excessive strain on your body. Cooked foods have most if
not all of the enzymes destroyed. You have to try your best to
cut back on processed food. Stay with the healthier fresh fruits
and vegetables.

We are all aware of the hormones, preservatives and other
unhealthy additives that are in our foods today. This is a
significant reason to try to eat organic foods as well.

People on raw food diets seem to be healthier, happier and
hardly catch a cold. You do have to make sure you have enough
vit-b12 though. Have this checked and take a supplement if
necessary.

One healthy food that may be particularly good in helping with
weight loss is parsnips. They are high in fiber which makes you
feel fuller. Parsnips can lower cholesterol and keep your blood
sugar even.

If you definitely want to lose weight and keep it off, then you
need to follow a healthy lifestyle. You must get enough exercise
and eat healthier. Instead of taking the elevator, take the
stairs. Only on those Geico comercials will you see a caveman
taking an escalator instead of hoofing it.

Make sure you include healthy oils and fats that contains omega
3. Stay away from the unhealthy ones. Avocados also contain
healthy oils.

Try your best to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Slowly
start to cut out the cooked foods and meats. Continue on this
path and you will start to feel great and wonder why you haven't
started this long ago.

After the cavemen discovered fire they had to chase their
dinner. They even had to run from their so-called dinners at
times"dinner" would chase them. Before they ate meat they had to
thoroughly search for other food. I suppose they exercised a bit
more than we do today.

Walking, running, swimming and jogging are some of the ways to
exercise more. Maybe those cavemen aren't receiving all the
credit they deserve after all.
