Date: November 06, 2006 02:12AM Alright, so I'll admit I'm never going to be a hardcore fruitarian, I don't have the self control. However, I am a college student and I've just been so unhealthy lately, I need to clense my system very badly! I want to do the diet until Thanksgiving, just to clense and recoup from some bad decisions. I've been a vegetarian since 6th grade, and I was vegan for a while but not anymore. Is it alright to just do the fruitarian thing for a little while? Also, will it make me lose weight? I've finally reached a weight that I'm happy with I'm not looking to lose, only maintain.

Date: November 06, 2006 04:44AM Well,, to answer your question, yes, you can "do the diet" for only a short period of time. But what do you mean by "do the diet"? Do you mean fruitarian specifically, or just raw vegan?
A few things you might want to keep in mind: 1) If you start cold turkey, if might feel like too much too soon, and you might stop prematurely. 2) If you do it until Thanksgiving, and then break it with Thanksgiving food, you will not be happy camper afterwards. Go back to cooked slowly and gently, like with clear vegan broths and low-sodium vegetable soups, steamed veggies and such. Don't have dairy right away, and try to hold off on grains for a bit too. NO PROCESSED FOODS or very fatty foods too soon after eating raw. You will feel sick. 3) Make sure you are hydrated enough. 4) Don't drink alcohol while you are cleansing. Stay away from vinegar too.

Date: November 06, 2006 05:13AM Yes, that all makes sense, and I usually only have veggies and stuff during thanksgiving anyways so it won't be too hard to go slowly back to cooked foods if I decide to, I might find that I like it, I don't know. Thanks! Do you think that only two and a half weeks will help to clense my system and get me back on track or should I try and live the lifestyle for a longer period of time? Re: Clense My System!

Two and a half weeks should certainly help. You may want to ask someone like Bryan or David. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
