Date: December 01, 2006 11:49AM Hello All!
So after much bloating and restless sleep by eating waaaaaay to much gourmet raw food, gaining 7 pounds and my eczema worse than ever, i am going to try to do 80% fruits. I have done so for the past two days and feel great!! However, I have a major sweet tooth (from SAD) and I eat a whole jar (10 oz) of dates, a day, with my fruit. Is that bad? Will I gain weight? Any advice for someone new to becomming a fruitatarian?? Thanks Guys, Ciao!! Love you, Jamie Re: Advice-New to Fruitatarian

Date: December 01, 2006 12:35PM I hear you. You CAN get frustrated if you want to...but just set small goals and keep them. Goals that you are PREPARED and MOTIVATED to do on a daily basis....rather than struggling with large goals that are onerous (been trying to work in that word all week!) LOL.
Practical advice: 1) Practice better food combining / simpler combinations (or NO combinations!) 2) Try not eating after dark for a better night's sleep. 3) Avoid foods that have been processed, dried, dehydrated or packaged for 1 month and see if that makes a difference. 4) Eat a MEASURED amount of fat in the form of fresh raw nuts or avocado with every meal. -If you are EVER uncomfortable (in a difficult way) then you are setting your goals too high. If you've made a lifetime commitment to a healthy way of living.....then what's the hurry? The small stream cuts the grand canyon - given time and a lack of failure mentality. -It seems to me that your desire to gorge on more processed sweets and fats is entirely normal at your transition period. -If you are worried about gaining weight, get in good light exercise every day...and eat more / smaller meals (Perhaps 4-6 per day). -Just some suggestions / thoughts. What do YOU think? -David Z. Mason Re: Advice-New to Fruitatarian
