I know nothing about you
nothing personal and nothing about height and weight history
but
"16 year old" + "liked my emaciated fruitatarian frame.+ what do you think the fastest way to lose weight would be?"
sounds worrysome--if HEALTH is THE number one priority--not "good looks"...
Then good looks, and weight will take care of themselves, on a raw diet,

Hi GypsyArdor
Re:
"I'm just wondering since I eat at least one avocado a day and I'm insulin resistant. "
-----
according to 8-1-1, you are over eating fat, and that is the cause of
"insulin resistance"--basicly fat interferes with sugar metabolism;
the fruit sugar is not the problem.

"Isn't raw food low fat, already?!?"
obviously NO...
(depends on which foods you eat and how much...celery is not coconut, etc...)
although if truly 100% raw you you are automatically spared from hydrogenated oils.
to find out precisely what the fat content of YOUR daily food intake is you may use

in my opinion Ayurveda is a system from ancient india
before science and before raw food diet
India has a tropical (very hot & very humid) climate and the original reason for spices, before there was refidgeration,
was to preserve food...
especially salt,
these spices do not really belong in the human body.
so IMO it's basically just another symptomatic approach

Beet is very high in fiber,(& practically inedible in it's natural whole raw state)
and fruit is very high in sugar, & thus digests quickly (or risks fermentation)
therefore the combination is not recommended.
Although, I suppose you might get away with one beet with a lot of apples
to make a red applesauce?
However if you don't mind using 2 machines,
you can first make Beet juice

1) try 8 ounces only at a time.
2) remember to slosh juice in mouth to mix with saliva before each swallow.
to mix enzyme pytalin as would be done if chewing.
3) try a juice that doesn't mix an acid fruit/vegetable, a sweet fruit, and a slightly starchy vegetable, all together at once.
4) could be detox?

Carrot with tomatoe might not be ideal...
but allowing an hour between them would be all that's needed.
however also important is to "chew" your juices--
what that means is to slosh each sip around in the mouth for a minute or so mixing it with saliva.
Saliva has a digestive enzyme called pytalin in it, which begins the digestive process for starches.

People have "fasted" or more accurately done juice diet for at least 90 days.
Depending on the quality of the produce used, and amount consumed, chances are good that a person will be better nourished on a juice diet than while eating.
This is not to say what to do; that depends on how toxic one is, what one's daily routine is, etc. Good Luck.

glad you ended it...
Day after day of salt water flushes sounds like a very poor (even though well intentioned) idea.
The reason salt "flushes" is because it draws liquid out of the body with osmotic pressure, and most likely minerals needed by the body, are lost in the process, as well as, obviously being highly dehydrating. No wonder you got worn out and had scary symptoms.

The best thing that can be said about alpha-linolenic acid is that it has a neutralizing or balancing effect against the overconsumption of linoleic acid found in vegetable oils. Since vegetable oil consumption can lead to numerous health problems, alpha-linolenic acid can be useful in reversing or preventing these problems. The reason why flaxs

Even if you don't sleep; you can rest, (especially your mind)
I learned this at a meditation retreat
Lie completely still, follow your breath with all your attention
when you get caught up in thoughts return to your breath,
Tell yourself at the start, that you are making
good use of this special opportunity to learn
concentration and bring more equanimity into your
life and world.

202. Re: Parasite cleanse
I'm sure even healthy raw fooders can ocassionally pick up a parasite in this world...and that a drug, herb, or fast may help with this, at that time...
After all there are many strange organisims in the tropics, and with air-travel...
BUT
the odd thing is that the desire to be parasite free
seems to turn into an obsession for some folks,
in an almost religious way...
just seems odd?
