Woman goes raw, loses more than half herself

It’s may be really effective way to lost weight if we eat raw foods. The woman, Angela Stokes, who eats raw foods for two years loses 162 pounds(72.9 kilograms).I am not surprise about the news, but I am consider about something else.

It’s not astonished that how many pounds of people's weight have been losed. First, is it really a healthy way to go on a diet? These raw vegans only eat uncooked and unprocessed vegetables, nuts, and seeds. They don’t eat meet or any animal food, and they may run the risk of lacking of vitamin 8-12 and other diseases. In my opinion, going on a diet doesn’t mean we have to use the radical ways to lose weights very fast. By regular exercise and having balance diet, we still can be much more slender in a healthy way.

Second, I think we should look at the problem seriously that why people, especially women, always want to go on a diet even if they are in a good shape, and why heavy girls want to become slender? I think it is not a health conception in people’s mind. No matter we are fat or thin, we should have more confident on ourselves and other sides, not always judge anything by the outlook. Our value is not basic on how we look or how we weight. Just be ourselves and don’t follow the wrong diet wave.
