While there are varieties of raw food diet plans, the raw veggie plan seems to be one of the most wholesome. Also known as the raw vegan diet, the raw veggie diet sounds precisely like what it is – a raw diet restricted to just vegetables and sprouts, excluding all animal food products, which also includes dairy products and honey. Raw vegans are ordinarily 100% raw food eaters, but many even consider any vegan having a diet of 75% minimum raw food to be raw vegan. “Raw” is considered to be un-cooked, or food made at temperatures no higher than 115° Fahrenheit (46° Celsius). Numerous raw vegans claim that the raw veggie diet provides immense health benefits which includes weight decline, elevated energy, improved insulin tolerance, better skin, and improved general well being. These statements make perfect sense – the lower sugar ingestion, higher nutritious intake, and higher quality caloric intake of a raw veggie diet provides the body with the it requires to perform more like nature has planned.

In spite of the numerous health benefits claimed concerning consuming a raw vegetable diet, there are still some that suggest potential health threats. The most widespread of these risks that gets talked about is regarding protein deprivation. This is almost never a problem with raw vegans, if at all, since plants do contain protein despite what a lot of people think… where do you suppose animals get it!? Aside from the not so obvious, fruits and dark green leafy vegetables, hemp and yellow pea contain a significant amount of easily digested protein. Also, there is dispute on whether the amount of protein that is suggested that is required by humans is really accurate. Raw foodists think the requirement is even lower. Ask the numerous raw vegan bodybuilders how they feel.

A further argued health risk, is vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 is in actuality a bacterium, so it is most prevalent in animal-derived food sources where bacteria can flourish. People on a raw vegan diet plan often take Vitamin B12 supplements to avoid deficiency. Signs and symptoms of being deficient in B12 can be pasty pale skin, respiratory issues, being tired, anorexia, confusion, delusional behavior, emotional instability, and unexpected weight loss. Being deficient in B12, however, is not often seen and can be easily avoided. In fact, some authors say that B12 will recycle itself in the bowels for many years and some even say that the body can produce needed B12 on its own.
