Is raw vegan weight loss due to consuming fewer calories?!

To maintain its weight, your body demands a specific amount of calories. When you don't eat that many, you will lose weight.

Raw veganism isn't supposed to be a low-calorie diet. You compensate for the low calories by eating higher calories foods at each meal, like cold pressed oils or raw nuts/seeds, and eating more meals throughout the day.

Due to how plant foods are metabolized, you may notice a weight loss, like you were asking about. The China Study found sedentary Chinese people ate more calories than sedentary Americans and still were healthier (the Chinese diet was without animal products).

Vegan

Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry. Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products. The key to a nutritionally sound vegan diet is variety. A healthy and varied vegan diet includes fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Almost all foods except for alcohol, sugar, and fats provide some protein. Vegan sources include: lentils, chickpeas, tofu, peas, peanut butter, soy milk, almonds, spinach, rice, whole wheat bread, potatoes, broccoli, kale...

It is due to lower calories intake. I don't understand why people think that our bodies metabolize raw food better. The cooking process takes some of the work out of breaking down the food. I predict the next fad diet will be to swallow your food whole so your teeth won't crush the enzymes inside the raw food. Lol.

Just because you're forced to consume less calories. Most animal products contain large amounts of fat and calories compared to raw vegetables. but it certainly does show in terms of taste

vegan diets aren't raw food diets.
You can eat fully cooked stodge the whole time you're vegan.

Weightloss is due to fewer calories.
