Angela Stokes loses Weight with Raw Food Diet

Angela Stokes has managed to lose over 160 pounds utilizing a Raw food diet. The Raw food diet helped Angela stoke lose here weight over a 4 year period and she has been able to keep it off. Angela was always overweight even as a child, but she was able to overcome her weight problem with this raw food diet.

Angela Stokes urges any one who is considering a raw food vegan diet to start off slow. I’ve had several friends who have adopted a Raw food diet and went totally raw food vegan with their diet and they all say the same thing. Your body is not  accustomed to only raw foods so it takes time for your system to adjust. Bit all my friends also remark that they feel a lot better after adopting an all raw food vegan diet. I’ve considered it, but I guess I have a mental block to giving up meat. I know a Vegan diet whether its normal Vegan or all raw food vegan diet would really help my health and quite possibly help me have a lot more energy. One negative about the raw food diet is the amount of time it requires to prepare the food. This really seems weird as you think about eating raw carrots or celery, etc… But you have to be careful with these raw food diets and ensure you are getting a full balanced diet, including your protein. This is not impossible with the raw food diet, but it is something you need to be aware of and ensure you are getting everything you need with a raw food diet. It definitely seems to be working for Angela Stokes.

Flat Belly Diet versus Weight Loss Surgery

Well the latest fad diet is the flat belly diet. It consists mainly of what some people refer to as the Mediterranean diet and as usual these diets have questionable results. The flat belly diet promises you can lose 15 pounds in a little over a month, but as usual these results are not always typical.

The basic Flat Belly Diet plan is a 1,600-calorie Mediterranean-style diet with an emphasis on wholesome, unrefined foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, seeds, lean protein, and very little red meat only about once a month.

The supposed secret ingredient in the Flat Belly Diet that whittles away belly fat is the addition of a monounsaturated fat, or MUFA, at every meal. MUFAs are found in olives, avocados, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, soybean, flax, and olive and sunflower oils.

"Research shows that MUFAs have health benefits and target belly fat. They also help control satiety, so by adding in one MUFA at meals and snacks it is easier to stick with the plan and lose belly fat,"

Exercise on the flat belly diet is encouraged, but the claims are that you don’t have to even exercise. This is what raised my eyes about the diet. It may work, but I’ve seen these types of fad diets before and they almost always seem to have more fluff than anything else. I’ve found the easiest way to lose those unwanted pounds is through sensible eating and a consistent exercise plan.

For some people even sensible exercising does not seem to work out and let them effectively lose weight. If this is the case then you may want to consider weight loss surgery. One of the safest and a very effective method of weight loss surgery is vertical sleeve surgery and it has worked very well for some people.
