The importance of calories on a raw food diet.
Many people in our world have been programmed into thinking that you need to steer clear of eating large meals, otherwise they’ll lead to weight gain.
In fact, some people even boast that they eat very small meals and that this helps them keep in shape.
Now, on a standard western diet, for example, you can easily eat foods that are very calorie dense, like pizzas, burgers with fries, or candy bars.
Compare this to a diet that is an all raw or perhaps a high raw plant foods diet and you’ll discover that you can eat a lot more volume of food and still eat less calories.
If you do eat very small meals in an effort to stay slim, then you most probably will be eating significantly less calories than your body needs.
This can lead to problems when your body uses a lot more energy than you are giving it in the foods that you eat!
A too low calorie intake will lead to low energy levels and poor mind clarity, not to mention compromised state of your adrenal health.
And if you do this on a consistent basis then you will not only feel low in energy you can also lose too much weight, including muscle weight which is definitely not healthy to do.
Also, when you’re undereating on calories, you will be undereating on vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients that your body needs to maintain itself properly.
