Hi

I am hoping to write a story for a British magazine and am looking to find any female British citizens who can help. Basically I am on the look out for any (former?) fruitarians/raw food eaters who may have not been entirely successful or indeed had any health consequences.

Would be great if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot.

Why do you want to know about people who have had problems? Seems like the wrong angle to me

Ha, you want us to point you to someone who failed so you can write an article saying how dangerous the raw food diet is? I think you're asking the wrong people!

Yes, really! Why don't you consider writing about the wonderful successes that so many of us have had? Or instead of writing about the failures of a raw diet, consider writing instead about the enormous failures of a conventional cooked food diet?

Just because someone is not successful with the raw food diet is not an indication that the diet is unhealthy. Health is a consequence of many factors outside of diet, and focusing on the diet as the cause of some problem is a very limited perspective.

From my experience of seeing people who had problems with their health on the raw diet, the issues were there before the person went raw, and going raw was the catalyst for the body healing itself. However, how the person reacted to this healing process determined whether or not the healing was successful or aborted.

Why dobn't you write an article about cooked-food eaters who may have not been entirely successful or indeed had any health consequences.

I'm not a British female but I'm a British male that had SERIOUS problems with Fruitarianism.....so much so that I cannot turn back!

BECAUSE I'M HAVING TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!

It seriously changed my life for the better and caused serious progress to my fitnress performance to the point where I can now do an "unassisted" ONE ARM CHIN UP.....why don't you write about that!...or the many people that lose weight and get control of their health back!

just because someone doesn't do well on the raw diet doesn't mean it's a failure, a lot of people attempt to go raw all by themselves with no help or support, so yes there's always going to be people going around complaining about how bad they felt when they first went raw and blaming the whole raw food lifestyle for their detox symptoms but that's what separates the wheat from the chaff!

I'm a British female who is loving eating lots of fruit - every day!
Not a problem - just a joy.

I think you are in a position to help people, and spread positive messages about lifestyle changes that we all need to take. Life and health is not just about food - it is about attidude and loads of other factors like air quality, exercise, social bonding - soo many things that food plays one role in.
Focusing on one aspect of the whole is the the problem with the western psyche - we get too focused on one thing and expect everything to change - we need to always look at everything holistically.

Please use your power to spread some positive messages : ))

I've been doing raw foodism for many years now and I got very ill at one point for about 2 years and wondered if it was my diet, but I also recovered on raw foodism.

If you want to rubbish raw food veganism, I know a person who will give you what you want. But IMO is not reliable. however if you want reliable info just look at the posts here.

I think it's been about 5 years for me now mostly raw. The consequences of my diet are

1)being mistaken for a person significantly younger,

2)a very high grocery bill

3) having to get a 2-3 monster heads of romaine a 3 or more times a week, which is a pain.
