A look at the raw food publications, websites, and a visit to their shops and restaurants in New York City reminds us of the early days when to be a vegetarian was not as common as now but was on the rise.
Let's start saying that raw food is a not a diet - it is a lifestyle.
Celebrities who follow raw food diet
It is said that Donna Karan, Demi Moore and Carol Alt eat only a raw diet. Other celebrities such as Sting and fitness guru Denise Austin have said that they eat a lot of raw foods. Donna Karan said that after the death of her husband she gained a lot of weight and nothing could help her lose it, but the raw diet worked wonders for her.
Carol Alt, the former model and author of a raw diet book, has said that in her early thirties she had horrible eating habits, including an Irish coffee in the morning (yes, with alcohol).
She suffered from allergies, lack of energy and gastritis. She though this was normal, but when her looks started to suffer and she was not bikini ready for her work, she turned to raw foods and everything changed. Carol has a non-retouched picture on the cover of her book and she looks extraordinarily beautiful for her age.
Most people who follow this diet do not do it to lose weight, but to
prevent or help them treat illnesses, some as simple as constipations,
others as serious as cancer.
