Weight loss raw food diets might not sound so delicious to everybody and I can relate to that. Especially children often have a hard time swallowing those healthy bites. And if they children don't want then it is rare that any in the family will eat raw food because not many families have time - or money to prepare to different dishes for dinner.
Weight loss raw food dishes have more vitamins and minerals than cooked food where all the good stuff often disappears when peeled. If it is possible you should not peel potatoes, carrots and so on but just wash them in water. When you do that it is a good idea to buy from farmers that grow the vegetables organic. It can be at the farmers market that you will find in many cities. Another possibility is to grow your own vegetables. You can grow your own carrots, potatoes - the possibilities are many. And if you don't use poison to keep the bugs and weed away then you have the most amazing organic food at your doorstep.
When you cook your vegetables you might fry them on the pan - in oil or butter - or maybe you boil them in water. Boiling vegetables in water also remove a lot of the ohhh so necessary minerals and vitamins that our bodies love. Instead of frying those on the pan where they might keep their vitamins etc you will put a huge layer of fat around them and then a lot of the idea about healthy vegetables disappear. A good alternative to boiling vegetables is to steam them. Steamed vegetables don't lose much of the good stuff because the steam doesn't cook the vegetables the same way as when boiled. Boiling water drags the healthiness out of the veggies where steam gently caresses them with a gentle touch. When steaming food you also keep a lot more of the original taste so you can enjoy your dinner better.
Weight loss raw food diets live up to the good old advice about eating your food as raw as possible. It have never been easier than it is today where you can buy special kitchen machines for almost all tasks that you find in a modern kitchen. You can get big juicers that will convert veggies and fruits to the most delicious juice in no time. You can bake your own bread on bread makers, but why not go back to basic and try cooking like they did in the good old days. A lot more people where slim and obesity was only something the rich lords had as a problem.
When it comes to losing weight then raw food IS better for you and you WILL lose weight faster than if you eat processed food. When you cook yourself then you also have the benefit that you know exactly what you stuff in your - and your family's mouths - and these days that aren't so bad is it? So start chopping those veggies, lose weight and become a healthier person. Your family will thank you for it!
