Eating For Energy

Im thinking of following a raw food diet for both breakfast and lunch.?

I was wondering whether by eating a cooked meal in the evening (healthy) this will have any of the positive effects that a Raw Diet can provide. Any advice would be much appreciated

Lisa’s answer seems to be right on.

And your plan seems to be a healthy one. Eating a diet that is 100% raw is not healthy as some think it to be. Raw fruit for breakfast is fine but so is oatmeal once in a while.

Consider this:
“Raw vegetables are dramatically low in calories and we probably only absorb about 50 calories a pound from raw vegetables. Our caloric needs cannot be met on a raw food diet without consuming large amounts of fruits, avocado, nuts and seeds. This may be an adequate diet for some people, but in my 15 years of medical practice catering to the community of natural food enthusiasts, raw foodists and natural hygienists, I have seen many people who weakened their health on such raw food, vegan diets. Frequent fungal skin and nail infections, poor dentition, hair loss and muscular wasting are common on such fruit-based diets.” – quoted from Dr. Joel Fuhrman
