The foods that can be eaten on the first level are basically raw fruits, vegetables, and juices through out the day. At dinner, the dieter is allowed to eat a meal that consists of all vegetables most days, however salmon is allowed one day a week. As the dieter progresses through each step, they will be able to add some cooked foods in small amounts, however the raw food detox, will consist mainly of raw fruits and vegetables.
Once the dieter reaches level five of the raw food detox diet, they will be able to decrease the amount of raw food in their diet to seventy five percent. The other foods will consist of a one cook meal per day, which can be a pasta dish that is made with vegetables. At this level it is also okay to add small quantities of animal products such as eggs, chicken, or fish. If the dieter would like to use dairy products at this point, they should limit it to goat cheese.
