Are all raw diets healthy?

Question

So I've been watching this vegan youtuber for a few years now. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding her and her promotion of an all raw diet. Especially when it comes to eating disorders and health concerns. I haven't watched her in a while, but the past few days I've been mainly eating salads, a little fruit, etc so I've been on a mostly raw diet except for dinner. This reminded me of that youtuber and all the things that happened with her. The problems she's had is that there are other people who have come out and said they got sick off her diet plan that she suggests when she goes to Thailand, in her book, and in her videos. People have claimed to have been hospitalized because they were malnourished and other various reasons. So do you think an all raw diet is healthy and sustainable?

Answer

The Advent of superior human intelligence in evolution and brain growth came when we started cooking our food. Cooking enables us to consume and digest more calories and absorb more nutrients than eating raw foods. Raw food diets are extremely limited and lack proper amounts of protein, iron, trace minerals, and vit d. Do not eat a raw diet unless you are directed to by a doctor and under the supervision of a registered dietician

Answer

Are we talking about Freelee? I think you probably can be on a raw diet and still be healthy and get your needed nutrients, but you have to be well informed and know what you are doing. I wouldn’t recommend taking the advice of a YouTuber unless they had some legitimate credentials and were citing peer-reviewed studies. O definitely wouldn’t take Freelee’s advice. 
I would imagine that any super restrictive diet could be a trigger for ED such as anorexia or orthorexia.

Is this about fullyrawkristina? Definitely not a diet for me, but I imagine if you’re eating a sufficient amount of calories and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables as well as proper supplements I’m sure you’d be fine. I mean she’s alive lol so, more power to her! Definitely takes a strong mind to commit to something like that.

Answer

I think a lot of fad diets are unhealthy. I read an interesting article about keto dieting. It really should only be done with doctor recommendation, monitoring, and for people who actually need it to treat severe epilepsy.  Same with the military diet. It is another bad dad diet.
Many of these fad diets are having people starve themselves. To me, it does have its eating disorder tendencies or can at least lead to one. Obviously, I’m not a doctor so I can’t really say that it does for sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it actually does

Answer

I don’t even know what raw diet means. 
Is it like, eating things you don’t cook?

Answer

I don’t believe anything anymore about the raw vegan or vegan propaganda community because there’s simply so much money to be made off of people investing in their health. They will tell you anything. I think it’s doable but I do think it would require lots of time, effort and thought. I was vegan for over a year and then realized my nails were literally falling apart along with my hair and skin. I also started to feel extremely weak. I was told I could eat tons of food, mostly fruit and be in my best health. Wrong. Lol.

Answer

If you’re talking about FreeLee or others like her on YouTube then no I don’t think that’s healthy. All of them spout off about an all carb diet and that as long as you eat enough fruit you’ll get all your other nutrients for the day blah blah blah. No. Being vegan is great and there’s only 1 thing that you truly can’t get from a vegan diet and that is B12 and they have vegan forms of it. They don’t believe that any of that is a big deal though. You know she said she was healthier than everyone else when she stopped having her period? Said the body was made to reabsorb it? Not that she was too thin and malnourished to actually have a period. I think what she teaches is damaging and gives vegans a bad name. If you want a really great vegan YouTuber to watch check out unnatural vegan. She actually used to follow FreeLee and now talks about how unhealthy it is. She backs everything up with science. Really worth checking out.

Answer

if youre going to be doing raw diet ylu need to supplement along with it. theres vegan raw protien shakes and supplements but u need to do your research. 
if youre going to include eggs and fish i would be careful with how you prepare it. i would never eat raw eggs but i think a hard boiled egg a day isnt going to do any damage. even grilling a fish just use coconut oil or evoo to prepare it.

Answer

Many historians believe that cooking our food was what lead to the evolution of humans today. Of course no one knows and a nutritionist would be better able to tell you if a diet was appropriate but still I'd recommend looking up some of the talks on it, I saw one on TED talks website.

Answer

It depends on if you are eating things that are safe to eat raw. Also if you’re pregnant no it is not safe for the baby. You should also be gut healthy bc if your gut isn’t healthy eating all raw foods can cause stomach issues. But the same type of stomach issues can also crop up if you are eating too much grease or something else that messes with the balance in your stomach. But overall as long as you are being smart about it it can be done healthily.
