cutting fat, addding fruit... more masculine?

[Guest guest]

Candida, Hormonal Imbalaces, PCOS... are all these things connected? I believe I

have

Candida and did an anti-candida diet for 3-4 months which was mostly meat and

cooked

vegetables. Now I'm trying to transition to a raw diet (1 month).

Problems/symptoms since changing diet:

haven't gotten period in 4 months

Problems since trying to be raw: (atleast since I've noticed)

smaller breast, fattier mid-section, irritability, intense anger, feeling more

masculine and

less sensitive. (I used to be very emotional).

This is really complicated. I'm just wondering if all these problems will

balance out with

the raw foods diet and if most of these health issues are actually all caused by

the same

thing because they all seem so similar.

Is there any way that cutting out the fat or adding more fruit can be making me

feel more

masculine?

Please help. Love,

Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,

 

I really don't think so. The diet you describe (high fruit, low fat) will

work towards balancing your hormones. Maybe you are going through a

temporary adjustment stage. The body has it'

s own agenda. You may need to be patient. Trust your bodies ability to heal

and trust nature.

 

I used to have horrible hormonal problems and they completely resolved on a

high fruit, low fat diet.

 

Just be sure that you are eating a truly low fat diet. You can use fitday or

nutridairy to make sure. It is best to keep the fat percentage below 10%.

 

All the best,

Interesting.

 

How do you mostly fruit eaters find your teeth holding up under the

onslaught of fruit acid?

Yes, in advanced stages, candida EATS hormones. Read the book SICK AND TIRED:

I find my teeth cleaner and whiter than ever! The high water content

of fruit and veggies helps to clean the teeth I think, and the fiber

and roughage definitely helps scour them and the gums as well. My

sister (a dentist) agrees with this assessment (well, she gave me this

assessment! ).

 

Fruit acid and sugar is a very fine thing....I think you'd have to

hold fruit juice in your mouth for a while until it started fermenting

before it became bad for you or your teeth. I was once asked how much

sugar I ate in a day by an office-mate, because he was wanting to

compare how much he ate compared to me, and I eat a lot of fruit. But

I laughed, saying that I don't eat any sugar whatsoever and that there

is no RDA for sugar. But see I wasn't comparing my fruit sugar to his

slurpy sugar, and I never would! Fruit sugar is fructose (I think)

and comes balanced with so many nutrients and enzymes, in a way the

body expects, and is utilized by the body for health and energy.

Slurpy sugar is essentially a foreign substance in the body, almost

like a drug or poison, giving a high and then a crash.

I tried to explain the difference between the sugar in my fruit and

the sugar in his slurpy, but it was too much for him to handle, much

to my annoyance.

Always wanted to share this story with others who would understand!

haha

Hi velvet,

 

 

 

I'd love to hear about your diet. I think the reason people tend to eat

mostly fruit is to make sure they are getting enough calories in.

 

 

 

Please tell us what a typical day looks like for you (food wise). Who

knows, it might help someone out there!

 

 

 

As much detail as poss would be appreciated.

I should add, I prefer a limited number of fresh raw foods

 

berries...but not strawberries.

clementines

grapefruit

passion fruit

water melon

pomegranate.

 

cabbage

caulifl.

lettuce

peppers

celery

cucumber

podded peas.

mustard and cress.

radishes.

 

very occasionally sprouts...which I consider unutterably BORING.

 

These are about the full measure of my interest. I am not content that

supermarkets, which is where I mostly access the above, keep this

produce anything near correctly ripe enough to eat immediately, and I

eat on a whim day to day.

 

I am unhappy at having to eat 'retarded' fresh foods.

 

I look on food as fuel,

 

and berries as nectar.

Don't forget GREENS, too. There is such a thing as too much fruit!

Dr.Douglas Grahm has been living this lifestyle for over 20 years and teaches

that fruit is where we should get the majority of our calories. Fats from nuts,

seeds, and avocados should comprise no more than 10% of our caloric intake.

Anyone who wants to chek out his site foodnsport.com where his book 80/10/10 is

also offered. I do not believe there is a thing as too much fruit but perhaps

improper combining or eating to much fat with the fruit.
