raw foodist

No-heat eater

A raw foodist is someone who eats only uncooked, unprocessed foods—typically fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

The diet is based on the belief that cooking destroys beneficial enzymes and nutrients.

She's been a raw foodist for five years and swears by it.

Also called a raw vegan when the diet excludes animal products entirely.
