Mastering the Art of High Raw Living

Ever felt like you needed a dictionary just to describe your diet? "Vegan," "Raw Foodist," "Plant-Based" – the list goes on.

Well, it's time to ditch the labels and embrace a lifestyle that's as flexible as your LuLu leggings.

Welcome to the world of high raw living!

What's the Deal with High Raw?

High raw isn't about perfection; it's about progress. Imagine a diet that's 80% raw foods, 20% whatever-makes-you-happy (as long as it's plant-based). That's high raw in a nutshell. But it's more than just percentages – it's a philosophy of flexibility and self-awareness.

There are no strict rules. No feeling bad if you indulge in your mom's famous vegan spinach lasagna. The high raw approach recognizes that everyone is different and wants different things from their diet. It's about reaping the benefits of raw living foods without the guilt that often comes with eating cooked meals.

Beyond All-or-Nothing

As a trained regenerative detoxification specialist, I firmly believe in the power of raw food. If you're battling serious health issues, a 100% raw food diet with herbs focused on detox might be exactly what you need. But for the average person who feels good, isn't dealing with major health concerns, and already maintains a clean diet, the high raw approach could be your sweet spot.

The beauty of high raw living is that it gives you all the vibrant energy and nutritional punch of raw foods while allowing the flexibility to enjoy social meals, travel with ease, or simply savor a warm, comforting dish when you crave it. It's not about restriction – it's about abundance, balance, and listening to your body.

Remember, the goal isn't to be perfect. It's to feel your best, nourish your body, and enjoy the journey to optimal health. Whether you're 80% raw, 100% raw, or somewhere in between, what matters most is that you're making conscious choices that align with your health goals and lifestyle.

6 Benefits You Can't Ignore

When it comes to high raw living, the benefits are as abundant as the colorful fruits and veggies on your plate.

Let's dive into the amazing benefits that await you on this colorful journey:

1. Muscle-Building Aminos

Who said you need protein shakes to build a strong, sculpted physique? Raw foods are packed with easily digestible proteins and enzymes that your body loves. From leafy greens to sprouted nuts and seeds, these living foods provide the building blocks for lean muscle mass. I've personally experienced muscle definition I didn't even know was possible, all thanks to the power of raw foods.

2. Sky-High Energy

Forget your morning coffee ritual; raw foods are nature's energy drink, minus the jitters and crash. The living enzymes and nutrients in raw foods are easily assimilated by your body, providing sustained, clean energy throughout the day. You'll find yourself bouncing out of bed, powering through your to-do list, and still having energy for that evening workout. It's not just energy – it's vitality that touches every aspect of your life.

3. Fat Burning Machine

Watch that stubborn belly fat disappear faster than your excuses for skipping the gym. Raw foods are naturally low in calories but high in fiber and nutrients, helping you feel satisfied while promoting fat loss. The abundance of plant-based foods supports a healthy metabolism, making your body a fat-burning machine. Plus, with all that extra energy, you'll likely find yourself more active, further supporting your weight management goals.

4. Mental Clarity

Brain fog? More like brain sunshine! The nutrients in raw foods, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and minerals, are brain-boosting powerhouses. You'll experience improved focus, enhanced memory, and a general sense of mental sharpness. Many high raw enthusiasts report better problem-solving skills and increased creativity. It's like upgrading your brain's operating system!

5. Glowing Skin and Vibrant Health

The high water content and abundance of vitamins and minerals in raw foods work wonders for your skin, hair, and overall appearance. Expect a natural glow, fewer blemishes, and a more youthful appearance. It's like natural Botox!

6. Improved Digestion

Raw foods are rich in fiber and enzymes, promoting healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. Say goodbye to bloating and digestive discomfort, and hello to a happy gut and "perfect poos"!

Remember, these benefits aren't exclusive to a 100% raw diet. The beauty of high raw living is that you can experience these advantages while still enjoying flexibility in your food choices. Whether you're 80% raw or 100% raw, you're still flooding your body with life-giving nutrients that will transform your health from the inside out.

A Day in the Life of a High Raw Foodie

It's not about restriction; it's about abundance. Unlike strict raw food diets, high raw living gives you the freedom to enjoy occasional cooked plant-based meals without the side of guilt.

It's the best of both worlds!

Here's what a sample day looks like;

Breakfast: Green Protein smoothie bowl topped with a rainbow of fruits

Lunch: Massive salad with every veggie you can think of (this is where I may add things like black olives, canned chickpeas or other foods that are not 100% raw)

Dinner: Zucchini noodles with sun-dried tomato pesto.

Dessert: Raw chocolate avocado mousse (trust me, it's life-changing)

My Raw Journey

Let me share a little secret: I recently completed three months of 100% raw eating. The results? Mind-blowing energy, clearer skin, and muscles I thought only existed in fitness magazines.

But here's the kicker – I'm not always 100% raw, and that's okay! Sometimes, I enjoy a cooked plant-based meal with friends or when I need a little grounding, or just want a break from fruit. The key is flexibility and listening to your body.

A Slight Warning

Embrace mindfulness when enjoying cooked meals and pay attention to your portions. Remember, even on a high-raw diet, it's possible to overindulge – I've been there!

But here's the exciting part: by tuning into your body's needs and honoring them, you can maintain a healthy weight while savoring every bite. It's all about balance and self-awareness, empowering you to make choices that nourish both body and soul.

The Bottom Line

High raw living isn't about perfection; it's about feeling your best while still enjoying life. It's about nourishing your body with living foods and your soul with flexibility.

So go ahead, have that cooked veggie stir-fry with friends.

Your raw lifestyle will be there waiting for you tomorrow, judgment-free.
