Do you need to lose a little weight or just want to be healthier. How about going on a Raw food diet? A what I hear you say. Yes a Raw food diet. It is actually very nice. So how do you go about planning a raw food diet. Well this hub has the answers for you.

1. Plan your raw food diet. Read about natural foods and raw food recipes online and make your own menu plan. Decide what you will eat each day of the week as you transition to a raw food diet.

2. Find sources for organic fruits and vegetables for your new raw diet. Look for produce grown as locally to you as possible for optimum freshness. Frequent farmer's markets in your area, and consider growing some of your own veggies -- such as tomatoes -- for your salads.

3. Make sure your raw food diet is well-balanced. Raw food does not equal vegetarianism or eating vegan; raw foods include sushi and animal products such as milk, eggs, cheese, and well-prepared raw beef.

4. Add raw dairy products to your daily foods. Find a local source of clean, fresh raw milk through the Real Milk Foundation or the Weston A. Price Foundation. Use raw cream to make your own raw butter, and make raw yogurt and kefir from your raw milk.

5. Make (or find a source for) raw, fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut. Properly fermented vegetables actually have an increased nutrition density thanks to the work of lactic fermentation.
