A member asked:

Please tell me how long it takes for to lose weight on a raw food diet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong Direction: Loss of weight has nothing to do with raw or cooked foods. It is only a matter of the amount of calories you intake in a day. Cooking food was started to disinfect the food even though some vitamins and minerals may suffer degradation.
