Why Compromise your nutrition?
 
This is not a 'diet' though people do tend to lose weight quickly if they have some extra pounds.  This way of eating is a lifestyle and it is literally the difference between life and death as you will see.  Raw means uncooked or unheated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit on average.  Some foods lose nutrients at higher or lower temperatures depening on the plant.  Raw means that the food is still alive and the nutrients have not been diminished by the act of heating the foods at high temperatures.  Foods may be served 'warmed' if desired.  This is either accomplished through the use of a dehydrator, a pre-warmed bowl or a carefully monitored hot plate.  It is preferable to eat organic as much as possible. Organically grown foods are not only less toxic, but also contain more nutrition.  

Every species on this planet eats their food as provided by nature, living or raw.  No plant, animal or human requires the use of a stove to be able to eat.  To date, there has never been a single person or animal on this planet born with a stove attached to them.  When we cook our food it is denatured and harder for our bodies to properly digest.  Cooking destroys many of the nutrients in food as well as all of the enzymes.  Fire is destructive, not beneficial to living things.  Plant two apple seeds in the ground, one cooked and one raw.  Notice which one turns into a tree.  The raw unheated apple has life force and the power to reproduce.  If you want to get the most nutrition out of what you eat then raw and living food is a sure bet!   Plus it just tastes better!
