Well, raw meat diets are the best way to lose weight. You see, the trouble with cooked diets is that the heat-created toxins that are present in cooked foods get diverted and stored in the fat-cells, and this greatly encourages weight-gain in people. Raw foods don't have such toxins so weight-loss is one of the big incentives to do a raw, palaeolithic diet, along with general regaining of health(the only raw food I know of, which does increase weight-gain is raw dairy, so avoid that like the plague and eat raw meat, raw veg, raw fruit, raw honey etc. and you'll lose weight in due course). Raw vegan diets can also help lose weight but they invariably lead to serious nutritional deficiencies, so are very dangerous diets to follow.
I can't very well explain the entire raw, palaeolithic diet in 1 sole e-mail, but here is a list of links which should give you a few ideas on how to start such a diet, what kind of foods to buy,what harm cooked foods and non-palaeo foods such as grains/dairy can do to your health etc.:-

Also, it's a very good idea to read through the entire message-archives of these 2 forums, so as to find out what RVAF diet newbies have been doing right or wrong re raw diets:-

There is, incidentally, a practice of bacteria-rich "high-meat" consumption, which can help a lot re curing depression. However, it's best if you get fully used to a standard raw diet before trying that. Here's an article about how useful bacteria are in relieving depression:-
