The writer conducted a 30-day experiment as a raw foodist, consuming only raw vegetables and fruits. The decision was motivated by the fact that thermal processing of food destroys its natural enzymes, making digestion more complicated. The writer tracked their physical and emotional state, calorie intake, time spent on food preparation, and financial costs.
The experiment included additional practices such as cleansing the body of parasites using a herbal mixture, alkalization through breath-holding, and workouts. The writer experienced initial fatigue and dizziness, but these symptoms subsided, and energy levels increased.
The results of the experiment showed:
* Calorie intake: 35,000 kilocalories (average 1166 calories per day)
* Weight loss: 3 kilograms
* Financial costs: Approximately 6,000 rubles (relatively low)
* Time spent on food: 1 hour less per day compared to classic food preparation
The writer concludes that the raw food diet has its advantages, including increased energy, clarity of mind, and time savings. However, it also has its drawbacks, such as limited pleasure from food due to the lack of spices and seasonings. The writer rates the raw food diet 8 out of 10 and the classic diet 2 out of 10.
The writer plans to incorporate more unprocessed foods into their diet but does not intend to continue with the raw food diet. They emphasize the importance of changing one's metabolism before changing their diet.
