High Veg / Low Fruit?
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

I have seen some popularity with eating mostly fruit, but what about mostly vegetables? I'm curious if anyone here eats very low amounts of fruit, as well as low fat, and mainly vegetables?

I'm fairly new to raw, and recently I've been experimenting with eating less fruit. The only fruit I'm still eating is bananas, mainly because they make my green smoothies creamy and tasty! smiling smiley

Is my body still able to cleanse properly without eating any fruits besides bananas?

the only problem will be in getting enough calories i would think.

I agree with fresh. Have you ever added up your calories on a site like nutridiary? Veggies have very few calories, they would not be able to sustain you in the long term.

I am at the end of my first month 100% raw...and mostly veggies. I eat a TON of greens everyday. I do eat apples, and grapefruits. They are the only fruits I want right now.
Just don't have a hankering for a bunch of fruit right now...maybe because it's still so cold outsidesmiling smiley

I did mostly veggies for a few years. The only way to do it (for me) was to either get enough calories by piling on the fat (which I did first), which for me made my health keep getting worse and not better, or cut out the fat but keep losing tons of weight until I became emaciated! That was after I realized tons of fat wasn't working, but still thought fruit was bad for me.

Mostly veggies is probably good if you are looking to lose weight though! And yes it's very cleansing.

Just my personal experience.

Love,
Uma
