So what's the raw food diet really about anyway? Today, it's much more than just cut up fruits and vegetables. A raw food diet consists of sprouted grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, and of course, fruits, and vegetables. All of the fruits and vegetables must be served raw or dehydrated. None of the seeds, nuts, or sprouted grains can be heated either. While it does vary amongst raw foodies, no foods should be heated above around 118 degrees. While it's more than a diet, you are sure to lose a bunch of weight eliminating processed foods entirely.

Why Raw=Green

According to raw food guru Ani Phyo, one of the major changes she noticed was how her kitchen garbage disappeared when she began eating only fresh whole foods. She was no longer buying nor disposing of processed food packaging and all the plastics and cardboards. She can make a meal for 300 hundred people and at the end of it will be left with organic compost. The compost is fed to worms who then create fertile soil for her organic garden. So it's super green too!

But what about all that junk food that you just can't live without?

Well, maybe you don't have to. Try these curried raw potato chips:
