Hi Tadey,
I encourage you to read Doug Graham's book, "The 80-10-10 Diet". It is available on his website, foodnsport.com. He covers diabetes in depth in this book. Most research and medical thought on diabetes has its attention focused on avoidance of sugar -- even sugars from raw fruits. The problem isn't the sugar from the banana, it's the fat in the bloodstream that prevents the

The first few times I went to Gratitude, I was very anal about trying not to take in too much fat, avoiding onions/garlic, etc. Later, I discovered that at Gratitude they actually have a list of savory menu items that don't contain onions/garlic, which is really nice.
That's fantastic. Lots of restaurants indicate nut-free items in the menu, but I don't think I've ever com

If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear what types of meals you put together when you do go to raw restaurants such as Cafe Gratitude?
I follow a low-fat fruit-based diet in line with 80-10-10 philosophy and guidelines. Last time I went to a raw restaurant during a trip to Chicago, I ingested loads of fat and salt in a raw deep-dish pizza entree and a brownie that seemed to have mostly da

Uma,
Your posts are so uplifting! I really admire and appreciate the way you speak about meeting challenges by perceiving them as opportunities for play. Since I don't have a lot of money to spend on more expensive fruits right now, sometimes I get frustrated when I run out of ripe bananas and the case that I bought to replace it is still partially green. Thanks for helping me remember that fi

i dropped by a Thai market today to buy a crate of persimmons, and ended up finding the Barbarian Head mango peeler...can't wait to try it out! thanks Uti (and Bryan) for the recommendation.

this may sound a little far-fetched -- but what about mashed bananas? in a way, they sort of look like mashed potatoes?
you might be able to do something with cauliflower -- though that's not going to be very easily digested. what if you prepared a large salad and a small dollop of pureed cauliflower and/or young coconut for mashed potatoes?
another idea -- bring something exotic that every

75. Re: Persimmons!
yes -- there were a few here and there on the tree that weren't quite there yet. in my excitement at finding the tree i was gathering them rapidly and eating 'em out of hand. i bit into one that hadn't fully ripened; i slowed way down after that!

yesterday's menu:
breakfast (1:30pm): 2 pounds grapes
lunch (4pm): 4 bananas
dinner: 1 pineapple, followed by a salad consisting of a head of romaine and some cherry tomatoes
i spent most of the day sitting inside the bookstore i work at, so i didn't have much of an appetite or need for a whole lot of food.

speaking of switching to fruit -- try spiralizing cucumbers into noodles. or do it the way i do it -- peel off fettucine-type noodles from the cukes. they combine well with just about anything (except possibly melons) and won't give you the digestion problems that zuchinni did.

The main distinguishing point between the lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system is that the former has no heart - no pump. So how does the lymph fluid move through this system? There are three ways to move the lymph:
1. Muscular contraction from exercise and movement.
2. Gravitational pressure on the lymph vessels.
3. Internal massage of the lymph vessel valv

hi joshipooja,
thank you for your clearly articulated post. continue to always ask questions with clarity and forethought, and you'll find continued success and happiness in your Health journey.
you may find Alissa Cohen's book "Living On Live Food" to be beneficial in the beginning stages. while the recipes themselves are diverse (some require a dehydrator, some are quite simple)
