Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Thanks Monica, those sound great. For two years I was a fruitarian, then only raw fruit, vegetables and nuts; it was too hard to maintain that diet with the job I had then, but I sure did feel good and had plenty of energy.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Wow! Jim, I'm impressed! I admire anyone with that much self discipline. I studied nutrition for many years, before I went raw, so I try to keep a balance of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, sprouts, etc. and occassionally admit to beans and grains. (for protein) I like to eat 50+% raw each day. I hope that doesn't make me too weird. Yes, I do feel good too, the higher my percentage of raw foods. Every creature on this planet except humans and the animals we domesticate eats raw food. And every animal except humans and domesticated animals is free of degenerative disease throughout their lifespans.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 You guys are amazing w/regard to discipline. Before joining this group, I didn't even know people did such things(fruitarian, just raw foods, etc.). Yes, it DOES make you think. Beth Monica <certifiednutritionist wrote:Wow! Jim, I'm impressed!
