Date: May 01, 2007 06:31PM Hi, it's been a while since coming here. Can you create too much enzymes eating raw foods? Is that why I am always hungry? I eat about 3 avocados a day and some bananas and some vegetables.  Re: Hi! It's me. Question on enzymes....

Date: May 01, 2007 06:45PM From what I've read you don't create the enzymes as a result of eating raw foods, you absorb them from the plants you're eating and your body uses only what's needed.
That's my understanding. Always hungry suggests you're not getting enough calories. I'd go to fitday.com and set up a dietary calorie counter online and my daily caloric intake if I were you. I'm still trying to get my calories up an a fashion I'm happy with and within the limitations of the local markets, but the calculator at fitday.com is invaluable to me. It makes a major difference.

Date: May 02, 2007 10:22PM If you're getting any kind of physical exercise (and you SHOULD be), 1200 calories a day isn't very much. I often eat up to 2000 calories a day or more, and I weigh 90 - 95.
Besides calories, you might check to see that you're getting enough nutrients. I find that no matter how many calories I eat in a day, I will feel hungry if I don't get enough calcium, iron, and yes, even protein. Although I feel satisfied on somewhat less of those nutrients than what is SADly recommended, I do find I have a need for them that I consciously try to satisfy - usually on a daily basis. I fill that need by consuming lots of fruit (including one small avocado or half a large one everyday), some sprouted sesame/sunflower seeds, a relatively small amount of leafy greans, and a very small amount of sprouted grains about once a week.

Date: May 04, 2007 06:11AM Eat raw foods does not create too many enzymes. However, eating the high fat diet that you described, I could see why you are hungry at the end of the day. On the days when I eat my fat meals (say once a week or so), if I don't eat enough fruit before I eat my fat meal, I feel hungry at the end of the day regardless of the amount of fat I eat. Re: Hi!

Date: May 04, 2007 01:30PM Thanks everyone for the good posts. I had my Basal metabolic rate measured one time (don't know how accurate it was) but they measured that my BMR is round 1280. Sometimes I do eat more than that. Oh, I was going to say, I do eat fruit and protein stuff and some fats during the day, then at night now I switched to eating some fats. I feel more satisfied and more calm when I go to bed. A strict fruit diet, though, I found to be more hungry than I already am. Do we all metabolize differently? I think I am more hungry right now is because I am so acidic, and trying to cleanse the access acids. Gotta love bananas. lol Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/04/2007 01:39PM by shep252.
