Raw Food: A Diet for the Lazy Man

Here is a comment that was recently left on a former post about mono-fruit meals.

I am lazy and started doing fruit meals from the beginning! I have never been into cooking recipes. So I got into raw foods and eating mostly fruit instinctively. ~ Annalise

I can certainly relate to this.  When I ate a cooked vegan diet, I always HATED spending hours in the kitchen preparing meals.  Or making a second trip to the supermarket because I forgot some essential ingredient for a dish the first time around.  Or having to plan my “healthy” meals days in advance.  Or…the list goes on and on.

That’s why I was so excited about the raw food diet. “Eating foods in their raw states,” I thought. “What could be more simple than that?”

Little did I know that the world of “gourmet raw” wasn’t any better than cooked vegan!  I still spent hours in the kitchen, only now I was just chopping vegetables.  I still had to make numerous trips to various health food stores in the hopes of finding “necessary” special ingredients.  And I still had to plan everything well in advance, so as not to waste anything or end up without enough food.

And at least my cooked meals actually tasted good!  Raw meatloaf and “sun” burgers…no thanks.

A Diet for the Lazy Man

Luckily, I quickly came across a raw food diet that truly satisfies the couch potato inside of me.  And as crazy as it sounds, this is the absolute *healthiest* and most *nutritious* diet you can find!

And which diet is this?  Why, the low fat raw vegan diet, of course!  That means all the sweet fruit you can eat, moderate greens and non-sweet fruits, and limited fats.  That’s it!

When I found out that I could literally grab a bunch of bananas and chow down, I couldn’t believe it.  And what if I wanted something a little more fancy?  No problem!  A simple yet satisfying fruit salad, green smoothie, savory salsa or raw pasta could be prepared in just minutes!

This meant no more extra time in the kitchen and no more desperate searches at the supermarket!  While I still plan my meals, and recommend that you do the same, it’s extremely simple.  Since I know how much food I need in a given day and the ripening times of the various foods that I eat, all that is required is to make sure that I buy enough when I go shopping.  That’s all there is to it!

And best of all?  I have more energy on this super simple lazy man’s raw diet than on any other program I’ve ever tried!  And because I’m not slaving away in front of a hot stove (or tepid dehydrator, for that matter), I can use that new-found energy for things that I truly enjoy.

What’s That, You Say?

A raw diet of mostly fruit is just *too* simple, right?  There is just *no way* a person can survive long term on such a diet, huh?

WRONG!  Not only are people surviving on a high fruit, low fat raw vegan diet, they are thriving (myself included)!  If you don’t believe me, take a gander at 30 Bananas a Day.  It’s a forum specifically for low fat raw vegans and boasts over 1000 members!

If you are *still* skeptical, try it out for yourself!  You have nothing to lose from giving a healthy raw vegan diet a go.  Cooked foods will still be there if you wish to return to them.

So what’s stopping you?  Grab some bananas and give the low fat fruity raw way a try!
