Yes, because you are getting more enzymes and food digests faster, so you're using less energy for digestion!.

There are many reasons why a raw food diet is beneficial!.

*Weight loss!.
*Clearer skin!.
*Mental clarity!.

Raw chocolate is a great way to get a boost of sustained energy, and what I mean by that, is with caffeine you'll get a rush of energy but then it leaves you tired and you may even get depressed!.
Raw chocolate is processed differently than other chocolate!. it contains all the oil and goodness it normally has!.

A raw food diet is said to help boost energy and make you feel revitalised!. Nuts will give you lots of energy as they are high in calories!. Nuts also provide vitamins and minerals that help counteract tiredness, such as iron!.

Despite what the other answerer said, please avoid coffee!. It gives you an instant feeling of exhilaration and energy, yes, but it drains your adrenal glands leaving you feeling even more tired!. If your lethargy ensues, see a health professional!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Everyone that I have ever known who was on a successful steady raw food diet was cranky, inpatient and nervous!. If you're tired all the time, try assessing you diet!. See what you are eating that makes you most tired!. Starches perhaps!? Or maybe sweet things like fruits!?

Try doing a slight cleanse for a couple of days first!. Or just try increasing your raw food amount like replacing one meal a day for a rich salad!.

If adding more raw food to your diet doesn't help try doing a fast for two or three days of just juice!. Or if that doesn't appeal to you find a fast that works for you!. Ir might clear out your system and clean out the problem!. Though not likely in such a short time if it is a major problem!.
You might also just be anemic, fatigue is a sign of anemia, buy an iron supplement in liquid form if that is the case!. If not then assess your overall lifestyle!. Are you getting enough fresh air!? Are you sleeping well!? Are you under stress and it's your mood that's weighing you down!?
Drink lots and I mean LOTS of water, if you aren't already!. To clear things out and keep you hydrated, the summer's heat might be making you weak!.
Good Luck and feel well!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You will need to try it to see if it is for you!. It all depends on the reason for why you are always tired, which can be from alot of things!.
Going raw is a nice way to start to detox your body!. When you start to get all the stored toxins out of their hiding places in your body and they begin to flow into your blood stream, you might have "flu" like symptoms that should pass in a week or so (headaches are not uncommon with detox)!.
Once you are detoxed, then the raw food nutrients can start to increase deficiencies you might be having, and then energy will increase too!.
Raw diets can also help you repair any digestive problems you might also have!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
