The Raw Diet - Too Much Raw Food

This is the First Day of the rest of your Diet Life...

Is your current diet plan keeping you buried six feet under carrots and lettuce? A raw food dieter may choose to feast on carrots, cabbage celery and lettuce because vegetables in their raw state are very low in calories - commonly called 'free foods'. Fortunately, they also offer a burst of health benefits - as all raw foods tend to deliver.

Keeping that in mind, if you are getting bored and tried of raw foods in your daily diet Thin Thin has some healthy suggestions that are close to raw foods, but you'll need to cook our second healthy food suggestion:

Frozen fruit. Takes a long time to eat and can be dipped into a tiny pool of sugar for extra sweetness. They can be enjoyed frozen or heated.

Frozen veggies: Most contain about 120 calories per bag!  Enjoy with fat reduced spreads, fresh herbs and seasonings.

Licking Good on Your Diet

When trying to lose weight, one naturally cuts back on food intake. To help get through the weight loss process, it's a good idea to discover foods that are either very low in calories that you can enjoy freely, or foods that take a long while to eat so that the enjoyment factor sticks with you. The best solution is to find foods that are both low in calories and also take a long while to eat. Here's our goody list:

Suckers (orange, red, lime, lemon, grape flavors)

Frozen pops

Italian ices

Our favorite is the sucker because it takes a very long time to finish it and it's ultra low in calories and contains zero fat for most versions. And hey - they're cheap, although Raw Food they're not....

Calories in Vegetables

Looking for raw veggies that are ultra low in calories? That's a great thing because raw vegetables in particular are naturally low in calories - and of course, there is that old 'good nutrition' issue. This list is based on vegetables in their raw state.

mushrooms - most varieties contain about 20 calories per 1/2 cup

carrots - 1 average sized carrot contains about 30 calories

cabbage - common green cabbage contains about 30 calories per cup
