Dr. Mercola's article below gives information on weight loss aides. Because they were mostly vegan foods, I felt moved to include the video below about how a raw food vegan diet changed a woman's life. I don't hide the fact that I am not a raw foodie, however there are many aspects of the raw food diet that I love. One thing that raw food diets are GREAT for is weight loss. Angela Stokes Monarch used to weigh over 300lbs. That is a frightening place for anyone to be. Switching to a raw food diet is what saved her. Dr. Campbell McBride calls vegan foods "cleansing foods" for a good reason. Stokes Monarch needed the cleanse really badly and her body knew it from the moment that she started her raw food diet.
One thing that I thought was interesting was that she labels herself a "beegan" because she eats raw honey and other foods made by bees like pollen and royal jelly. There are vegans who don't consider honey to be a vegan food because it took the contribution of livestock to make it (like milk or eggs). Those individuals tend to use agave or fruit and herbal sweeteners (like juice, lucoma powder, luo han guo or stevia) to sweeten their food. If a vegan isn't raw food specific, they may even eat maple syrup. There are even some raw foodies that go raw aside from sweeteners like maple syrup because they realize what a healthful sweetener it is.
The video below talks about the health changes in Angela Stokes Monarch's life and the diet and exercise program that saved her.
