A diet of unprocessed, uncooked foods is the core of the raw food diet. The diet is used as a method of weight loss and detoxification. It is also used as a way to simply become healthier. Most raw food dieters have a diet that consists of 75%-80% raw food. Following the diet may take some adjustment at first, but the rewards are well worth it.
