I can soooo relate. I am a wreck, a binge eater, depressed, anxious, a smoker, everyting horrible when I am eating cooked food. Although I have only been raw three times for a month each time, I turned into a lovely, joyful, peaceful soul. It is so hard to get back on the wagon once you get off. My understanding is that through years of overeating junkfood I have depleted my serotonin. Each time

Thank you all for your comments and sharing. I am truly touched. Thank you a million times over.

123. Yet another go
OK. I am sure you all are sick of my sporadic renewals of my commitment to raw foods. But please understand that it is simply me, a person struggling terribly with food addiction, to choose life and heal herself. Apparently this is not an easy thing for me to do. Well, because of the degree of fungal infection I have, liver disease, and depression, I am not working and have retreated from life on

OK. So I would like to join. I am going to start with a 2 week commitment - You all know my issues with fruit. So I want to surrender and try it. And if it is whigging me out - Then go more the green route. So tomorrow - Day one. I am going to post what I eat here - For sake of accountability.

126. Check-In Buddy
OK. So, for whatever reason, I am finally ready to make the plunge. I have said this before. But this is it. I can feel it. A juice fast is not appealing to me - Due to my bingeing tendencies, I fear that fasting and deprivation sets me up. So I figure that I will give myself permission to eat all the delicious fruit I desire - Grapes are sounding excellent right now. Probably because they are so

127. Re: Juice Cleanse
I am not on a juice cleanse. I think I need major help right now. A treatment center perhaps. I cannot stop bingeing. Last night I had a box of doughnuts, five burritos from Taco Bell, three sandwhiches, two large muffins, nine large cookies, four pints of ice cream, one bag of chips. I was at least not bingeing two weeks ago - Eating mostly greens and raw fish. I felt pretty good actually. Howev

129. Juice Cleanse
Does anyone want to juice with me for 7 days. I figure by cleaning house a bit, giving my digestive tract a rest, I will gain some clarity as to what really is food for my body. Just need a break. Any takers?

I have read about a lot of persons who end up with adrenal fatigue after following a fruit diet - Not everyone - But some people seem to react this way. 99% of the articles recommend a protein and veggie diet - Saying that protein (beyond what is in fruit) is necessary to restore them. I don't have a particular dogma - Just check it out.

Oh my gosh. That song always makes me cry. Dancing is my heart and soul. I remember Loren Lockman, who I am not particularly fond of, saying something that has stuck with me. He told me that dancing for money was fine. And that, eating fruit, I could dance well into my forties (professionally that is). And when people asked me what my secret was - I could share with them this wealth of informatio

I am only using selenium, b12, iron, and enzymes right now. I am working with a medical intuitive for the next four months who is adamant that I lay off of everything except for the homeopathic remedies she gives me to clear my body. She is onto something b/c 8 days into it and I feel I indeed am clearing. Still confused about fruit versus veggies and protein. But what's new?

135. Re: colon irrigation
I have done a lot of colonics in my day. And a lot of enemas. I think in moderation they are most likely harmless. But in a long-term situation, I would advise against it - I do think it disturbs the ecosystem and robs the body of friendly flora. That is just my thought on the matter.

I love all of this discussion. One thing that feels so good about this forum is that there is no judgement. Simply sweet souls wanting to be supportive and help provide guidance. I love it!
In answer to someone's question - I do test b12 deficient and protein deficient. But I do have leaky gut. So yes. The question remains - Will eating fish and meat correct this or simply prolong malabsorptio

I actually do hate fruit. I never have liked it. Even as a child. I simply find it too sweet. My body likes fish and game and greens. I truly feel a visual aversion to fruit. So perhaps 811 will not work for me because I am not aligned with it?

OK. So how do I begin raw if already I am protein deficient and anemic? I, as you know, am inclined towards 8-1-1. Not because I like fruit - Because I don't - But for health reasons - Fungus, arthritis, eczema, depression, acne, brain fog, irritable bowel, leaky gut, adrenal fatigue, etc. How do you start a low protein diet if already lacking in that nutrient?

I want to respond to this post. I feel very sympathetic to your dilemna. I too have very significant circles under my eyes and puffiness under my eyes and in my cheeks as well (the picture posted here is old....).

OK. So I truly am in despair. More so than ever. So add to my chronic fungal and parasitic infection, adrenal exhaustion, depression, leaky gut, food allergies, environmental allergies, arthritis, the following - Hypothyroidism, persistent anemia, and decreased protein levels in the blood. What would you do? My diet is a mess. But that is due at this point to the fact that I have no idea how to p

Ok. So this is kind of gross. But when transitioning to raw - Do you ladies with candida histories have a lot of mucous discharge coming out of you? Sorry guys - I know - Very graphic. I just want to make sure this is detox and not an exacerbation of yeast in my system.....

142. On Board At Last
OK. So spring is here. Time to renew, revitalize, and finally live. I have reached a point of utter surrender. My body is utterly exhausted and trashed, as is my bank account from seeing so many different healers. The only time I ever felt good was on low fat and high fruit. Despite what others say about candida and fruit, after about four days of symptoms, my candida felt like it was clearing. T

Any special foods that help rid one of parasites while taking candida into consideration? Garlic is so heating! I heard pineapple cures one of tapeworms when done as a fast. And that pumpkin seeds have an antiparasitic effect.....Ideas anyone?

I agree that exercise is vital to building muscle strength. I do not lift weights but I do dance like a maniac. My legs are incredibly toned and strong - People are often suprised at how strong I am. Hoorah for exercise.

I am 31. But living in a 90 year old body right now. As for teaching my dads the benefits of raw, until I am living the lifestyle there really is no point. I will teach and convince him when I embody what I ultimately believe in. And, unfortunately, right now addiction has a hold on me and I am eating the worst of the worse foods in huge quantities. I do not think fasting was a good thing for me

I do not know you - But I SOOOOO support your decision. I think it is brilliant. I too have struggled with bingeing for 16 years. I have read a lot of books by women who have recovered and they did exactly what you are doing to heal. They went through a period where they allowed everything. Eventually, by allowing, their cravings for such went away and eventually they settled on a healt

I did want to say one more thing in support of sunscreen. I just was in Panama as you all know and a man who has been a fruitarian for over twenty five years runs it. He does not use anything on his face - And he has very visible sun damage on his forehead and baldhead....Lots of sun spots that are brownish in color. Frankly he looks very weathered. This is not to say that raw foods is not good -
