Guest guest Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi Belinda, Yes, the body digests the fruits alone fairly quickly, the nuts alone very slowly. The combination runs more or less at the speed of the nuts, and the fruits sit far longer than they would going through the digestive tube alone. As for the hunger, it seems likely that you are not eating enough fruits. The nuts pack a LOT of calories ... largely as fat. Would you be willing simply to eat a second meal of fruit when you become hungry? That can work well for transitioning. I suggest that you read my posts, in the archive, on transitioning, if you wish.

Which is something I do every morning. A big bowl of fruit with some pecans or almonds or walnuts and flaxseed meal. It seems without the nuts, I am hungry again in a very short time. Maybe I should just eat the fruit and then eat the nuts later when I get hungry. Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Sure, I will give it a try. Or perhaps a green smoothie between my fruit breakfast and lunch? Right now it is very hot here in TN and those cold lettuce and fruit smoothies are wonderful. Since eating those, I don't even miss the ice cream any more. I have a pint jar of smoothie every night for dinner. Sometimes more than a pint if I feel like it. When is the best time to eat the nuts?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yes, all I have is just a plain ole blender. I do use distilled water, just enough for processing. The bananas and mangos will make the smoothie, very creamy. I would like to find a bigger blender though. I make quite a bit of smoothies when I make them. My blender is just 5 cups, I think. Do they make them any bigger? Not looking for anything as pricey as a vitamix.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hi Belinda, Well, it depends what's in the green smoothie. My primary goal is to have you consume more calories (fuel) at that time of day, as opposed to more bulk. So if the smoothie is high in fruits .... Ice cream ... consider making your own. Just freeze some bananas (peeled , then when you want the ice cream, set them out for about 15 minutes to soften slightly, then into the food processor they go. You can add other frozen fruits, such as strawberries and the like. I suggest beginning with just the bananas, to explore your own sense of taste more fully and accurately. As for when to eat the nuts, next year would be my first choice. That notwithstanding, I generally suggest that people associate any high-fat foods with their last meal of the day, such as a nice salad. So you could take my suggestion (many posts ago) of dividing dinner into two submeals. Part 1 is fruit, then wait awhile, then Part 2, salad. This part gets the high-fat foods, if any.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 My green smoothies just has lettuces, spinach and fruit, distilled water. Maybe, half or more is fruit. I have been trying to increase the greens and less fruit (so I will get more greens), but it just does not taste as good nor as satisfying. Though smoothies are rather time consuming, they are so handy. I make up several jars and put in the fridge. It is sort of my " fast food " . They also encourage my " fast food " daughter to eat SOMETHING healthy. She likes them too. Belinda > Hi Belinda, > > Well, it depends what's in the green smoothie.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hi Belinda, We're talking apples and oranges to one another (sorry, couldn't resist ... well, COULD have, but the little boy inside (the " inner child " for the more sophisticated) just had to say it anyway. HAD to!!! 1. As I recall, you commented that a smoothie without nuts would not be " filling " , that you might wish to eat fairly soon afterward. I suggested that you might simply need more calories (fuel) and that you add more fruit to achieve this. 2. You also wish to increase your consumption of greens, and so yes, you could add more greens, have a second smoothie later on, or ... my personal favorite ... begin eating a LARGE evening salad. When to eat the evening salad? Why, during the evening, of course! (I appear to have become moderately deranged, perhaps it's the heat.) Anyway, both goals seem constructive ... more fuel in the AM, more greens overall. Does this help a bit?

Do frozen bananas taste that much different to fresh raw bananas?

How long would you suggest waiting between the fruit, and the salad with fats (eg avocado)? I ask this because I've had salad for dinner at my parents' place three times now, and each time I've ended up with a belly ache. The first time I'd eaten fruit (apples) shortly before, then a plate of lettuce, cucumber, and a small avocado; the second time I'd had fruits for breakfast, the salad was a late lunch, and was a mixed bag of lettuce (organic), nearly a whole cucumber, and some almonds; the third time was 2 tiny lettuces (hydroponic), half a cucumber and an avocado, about half an hour after some bananas. Last night I sat down with my organic iceberg lettuce (about a pound, I weighed it after cutting out the core, which tastes bitter to me, and washing it), and ate it leaf by leaf, on its own. It tasted great, but I could only eat half of it - I stopped when I felt I'd had enough, no change in taste, just a feeling of not needing to eat more. I had a few little burps, but no discomfort, and didn't feel a need to eat again afterwards, for about 3 hours, then started getting a bit of pain in my belly, what I'd normally call hunger pangs. I drank some water, which helped a bit, and I didn't actually feel hungry, just a bit blah, so I went to bed. Any thoughts or suggestions on that experience?

Oh, half-hour to an hour. If your digestive system is really wrecked at the moment, then somewhat longer. There is not a magic number, as the interval may vary with your mood, rest, activity, type of fruit eaten, etc. Too many details to respond to each instance. Look for a commonality among all the experiences. For example, are the greens at your parents' home organic/clean? Best, Elchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for a commonality among all the experiences. For example, are the greens at your parents' home organic/clean? The cucumbers were from my organic guy, as was the bag of mixed lettuces, one lettuce from the supermarket (so loaded with toxins), the hydroponic ones from the local fruit shop. I'm planning to get lettuces from my organic guy from now on, they're much nicer. I don't think I need the avocados at the moment though - they do taste good, but I can do without the bellyache.
