could i rapidly lose weight if i followed this diet, not really eating nuts, but fruit and veggies?

Possibly rapidly at first if you have a high sugar/bad fats diet now. But it would stream off once you lost all the bad fats that are stored in you. I'd suggest juicing, I love it, but not just juicing but replacing meals with juice if you are wanting to lose weight. Its like a fast but better then a water only fast.

you need fat in your diet. nuts are a part of the raw food diet. you will lose weight in a much more healthy way is you eat a variety of foods the raw diet has to offer but in moderation. your body needs protien, fat, and other nutrients that you can't get from eating only fruits and veggies.
