The Raw Food Revolution Diet: Feast, Lose Weight, Gain Energy, Feel Younger

The Raw Food Revolution Diet
Feast, lose weight, gain energy, feel younger

Do you want to lose weight and have more energy?  If your answer is yes, then you should try The Raw Food Revolution Diet.

Today marks day one of my 30 day Raw Food Challenge and the Raw Food Revolution Diet has helped me with my plan.

After reading The Raw Food Revolution Diet, I am confident that I will have no problems being 100% raw for the next 30 days.  Plus, I have a good support group.  You cannot get any better than that.

Success Story

I was very impressed with the success stories of the authors.  One of the main things that blew me away about the success stories were the ages of Cherie Soria and Vesanto Melina.  Brenda Davis is also an author and she is a little younger than Cherie and Vesanto.

All three authors look very young for their age.  The Raw Food Revolution Diet not only helps you feel younger, but it obviously helps you look younger too.

The Raw Food Revolution Diet Chapters:

  • Chapter 1: Take the First Step Toward Vibrant Living
  • Chapter 2: Achieve Permanent Weight Loss with the Raw Food Revolution Diet
  • Chapter 3: Getting the Nutrients You Need
  • Chapter 4: Food and Equipment Basics for the Raw Revolution Diet
  • Chapter 5: Menus to Nourish Your Body and Please Your Palate
  • Bonus: Delicious Recipes

If you are looking for a book that will help you kick-start your journey to raw foods, then you should read this book.  Everything is laid out for you and if you follow the recommendations in this book you will succeed at eating a raw food diet.

What to Expect from The Raw Food Revolution Diet

  • You will find information about how much protein, carbohydrates and fats you should include in your diet.  If your goal is to lose weight, then you will have to go a little lite on the fatty foods such as avocados, olives, nuts, seeds and oils.
  • There are some very tasty recipes in this book.  No need to worry about getting bored with raw foods.  I love that they provide the serving sizes and nutritional information about the recipes.
  • If you do not have a clue about how to plan your raw food menu, you have six menu plans that will help you (one includes a cooked meal).  You also get the nutrients that each menu provides, which is helpful, especially when you want to make sure that you are getting what you need.
  • The Raw Food Revolution Diet is an easy read and has a total of 237 pages.  Half the book is informational and the other half has recipes.
  • The authors, Cherie Soria, Brenda Davis, and Vesanto Melina, keep everything simple, while providing you with nutritional information.  There is no need to worry if you can survive eating The Raw Food Revolution Diet, because they tell you exactly what to do.

Below is a recipe I really enjoy.  I thought I was eating tuna.  I hope you give it a try.

Not Tuna Salad (Yield: 1 1/2 cups/370 ML (6 Servings)

1 1/2 cups almonds, soaked for 24 hours, rinsed and drained
1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked for 4-6 hours, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup purified water, as needed
1/2 cup minced celery
1/2 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon  kelp powder
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh dill weed, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt

  1. Process the almonds and sunflower seeds through a Champion or Green Life Juicer fitted with the homogenizing plate.  If necessary, use a very small amount of water, alternating with the nuts and seeds, to facilitate processing.  Alternatively, process the almonds and sunflower seeds in a food processor fitted without S blade, although the texture will not be as fine.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients.
  3. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, Not Tuna Salad will keep for put 1 week.

Nutrition Note: This dish provides an impressive 13 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving.  It also packs over 35% of the RDA for biotin, riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamins E and K.

  2. Evelyn, you will do well in your raw for 30 days challenge. If you need anything just let me know, and I am cheering you on! I made some raw black sesame onion bread yesterday and egg-less egg salad today.

    • Hi Ms. Carolyn!

      I’m working on it! 🙂

      Your dishes sound delicious. Hmmm raw black sesame onion bread, sounds good. Something I’d love to try.

      Loving your avatar! 😉

      Have a wonderful day!

  3. Its a scientific fact that the most of the nutritional value of any food is destroyed while cooking. So once you have it all fried and put up on your table, you are having more fats and carbohydrates, but less vitamins and proteins. So going the raw way is indeed the best way to keep yourself fit and all energetic.

    • Hi Angela,

      Thanks for chiming in.

      I need the inspiration because I am doing a 30 day raw food challenge. Today makes day 4 and I feel pretty good. 😉

      Take care,

      Evelyn

  5. Great article Evelyn.
    Pierrette & I are 80% Raw and loving it.We are 59 going on 30.Yes,we feel healthier than we did at 30.
    Being Raw has given us our life back,
    We still have a Junk Food Day a week to never forget the way we ate before. Most of these days(junk food), help to confirm our commitment to ourselves. Our motto is to never say never. Take complete control of every bite that goes into your mouth and know why you are eating it. Be smart, eat smart.

  6. The best way to melt fat is to eat row food. Try to avoid processed food as much as you can.

  7. Hi Evelyn,
    Wow, that salad looks incrediable. I can’t wait to try that. I love that it is filled with protein & fiber. Thanks so much Evelyn!

  8. This looks like a great read. Good to see that a lot of writers are steering away from stupid fad diets and other cons that are a short term coverup for a life long disease.
