Raw Food For A Balanced Diet
By Sanjay R M Gupta
There are some people who swear by a diet of raw food. This can
be a great idea, but you do have to be careful that you are getting
a balanced diet. Most raw foods will be in the form of fruits
and vegetables, but there are other things you can try as well.
When you eat a lot of these things, you have to worry about getting
enough protein. This is why when you are on a raw foods diet,
you have to make sure you get your multi vitamin each day to stay
healthy and strong.
Salads and Fruit
Some of the most common raw foods you may like are the things
you put into a salad. Lettuce and tomatoes are very good for you,
and you want to add as much of a variety as possible. You can
also have a fruit salad made up of almost any fruit you wish,
and these raw foods will be nice and filling for you.
You might get bored though, and that is why you should make sure
you are getting a great variety of these foods.
Shy Away From Raw Eggs
You may soon find, however, that a raw foods diet is something
that you are going to get bored with rather quickly no matter
how much you switch things up. You can have raw eggs in this diet,
but that is something that most people will tell you to shy away
from.
The danger of getting sick from them is very high. Some athletes
like to drink raw eggs in the morning to get a shot of protein,
but some of them get sick while doing so. This might be one of
the raw foods that you want to avoid. You can never be sure that
an egg is free of bacteria that can cause sickness.
Lack of protein
You can still enjoy raw foods as the biggest part of your diet,
but you may review your options and find that you need to add
some cooked foods to it. You may want to get lean meats or fish
to go with the raw foods you are eating just for the sake of the
protein and so that you don’t get bored with your diet.
Boredom in one of the biggest diet killers out there.
You can do well for a while, but you will soon wish you had something
else to eat.
If you feel panicked, make sure you add something else as you
go along before you end up lying in bed with a bag of Doritos
and a gallon of soda. Be healthy, but also be realistic when you
are trying any diet plan.

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
