dancingfeather--deactivated2011 asked: do you think if i did a raw food diet for a few days i'd lose weight? or should i fast? (i workout a bunch too, like a lot of running, crunches, bike/elliptical.)

Eating vegetables, fruits, sprouts, and some nuts and seeds will definitely help you lose weight.

Fasting is complicated. It can help you but I suggest doing a little research before doing any type of fast because some are not healthy at all.

Here’s a few websites that might interest you :)
