Does the Raw Food Diet work?

I have lost around 35 lbs on the raw food diet in just a few months and have kept it off...It's all about following through with something and actually changing your lifestyle for good. I think it works because its so easy. (Meaning there are clear boundaries of what you can and can't eat). I just love the fact that I don't have to count calories! But seriously, I think any diet works if it is followed through with. But YES, the raw food diet works, probably the fastest too! Because when you eat a lot of raw, unprocessed, clean foods, your body has all of this extra energy (that it doesn't have to use to digest cooked foods) to clean and detoxify your cells. The liver is the organ that processes these toxins, and when the liver is overwhelmed, it stores toxins in fat cells. This is why it works so quickly...

Which food group does fruit punch powerade belong to and dont say none of the groups cause you need to know for your school project nowwwwww?

Fruit Punch Powerade, like other similar drinks, lists its major ingredient as sugar; this means the drink falls into the Fats, Oils and Sweets group.

The links below will give you more details of what's in Powerade, and also a look at the USDA Food Pyramid.

Bear in mind that the listed ingredients ('Nutrition Facts' in the Coca-Cola site) are per serving size, which is one bottle. Disregard the 'Daily Value' column and just take into account the actual ingredients, the main one of which is:

Sugars per bottle, 240 ml (8 fl oz) - 20g (about .7 oz, or just over 1 1/2 tablespoons).

So, apart from tiny amounts of salt and vitamins, the drink is all water, plus sugar, coloring and flavoring.
