The RAVE diet is actually an acronym for no Refined foods, no Animal foods, no Vegetable oils, and no Exception or exercise. This is not so much a diet designed for quick weight loss as it is a healthy lifestyle change in eating habits that will improve your overall health, particularly cardiovascular. A book and instructional DVD are included for optimum results. The book contains diet menu plans for a heart healthy diet. There are rules for meal preparation, a substitution guide, sample recipes, as well as a lot of information about the role that diet plays in heart disease and cancer.

The 88-minute DVD that accompanies the book is appropriately titled “Eating”. It contains interviews with renowned physicians, as well as vital information on how our diet can directly affect cardiovascular health. The RAVE diet has actually been known to reverse heart disease in a number of individuals! The book and DVD together only cost USD $19.95, which is very affordable for a diet plan.

The RAVE diet is relatively flexible and even contains a transition plan so that you can gradually adjust your tastes to a healthier diet. Some of the primary tips or ideas behind the RAVE diet are to always eat whole foods that are as close to their natural state as possible and to eat most of your food uncooked, without dips or toppings. You should eat a variety of colorful foods. For example, a salad is an ideal meal. You should never cook with salt and avoid packaged snack foods. Water should be your primary beverage. You should take a multivitamin daily as well as a tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

Lest you be concerned that your heart healthy diet will be bland, the book contains great substitute information for seasonings, sauces, sweeteners, oils, salad dressings and condiments. There are healthy ways to make your food tasty. The book claims that if you follow these guidelines by shunning refined and animal foods as well as vegetable oils, you can be on your way to preventing or reversing degenerative diseases within 21 days!

Unlike other quick weight loss diets that are popular today, the RAVE diet encourages getting healthy first and foremost. Naturally weight loss will probably also occur, perhaps even drastic weight loss, but the focus is on a heart healthy diet.
