Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Really 2-3 dozen pieces of fruit a day! Wow. I really don't think I could eat that much. Do you do it in the blender mostly or whole? Tess Elchanan wrote:... (once you are eating enough fruit. " Enough varies, but 2-3 dozen pieces daily is common.) As long as you are undereating on RF calories, you will feel physically pulled back into the cooked food, often carb/fat combinations (salt-fat-starch). So if you can boost your RF caloric intake, as by eating lots of fruit, you'll do better and better. (This does not address any emotional eating issues, which for some people can be quite profound. They were for me.) Hope these thoughts are helpful to you, Elchanan oak1day [claire] Thursday, February 24, 2005 3:17 PM rawfood [Raw Food] detox symptoms? Hi- I have been transitioning to raw very gradually over the last couple months. I've done a couple two day juice fasts and I am fasting one day a week. I juice about three times a week and do really strong stuff: spinach, kale, collards, etc with whatever is needed to make it palatable, usually apples or carrots and some ginger/parsley. I would say I am about 50% raw on bad days and 85-90% on good ones. I eat the Ezekiel and Manna breads, altough I was not even doing that to begin with. 100% vegan all the time & zero white flour, processed food etc. I am still getting rid of some nuts I had that were not raw. Had a few small organic frozen dinners on busy nights. Not all the fruit and veggies I eat are organic but most are. Before this transition, my diet was was, for me, the worst it ever had been. I was doing a modified lo-carb, eating dairy, fish, chicken and some meat. I have never been much into the processed foods. I have also had to take plenty of prescription medications. SO, this week, I got sudden extreme itchiness all over my body a few times. Did not last long or look like anything, but I was afraid I was having some severe allergic reaction to carrot juice! It was a strong sensation that could not be ignored. Then I also have been getting a muscle twitch under one eye. Then also pain like you feel when you have been exercising, even though I have not. And I feel weaker than usual. Now today I have a " cold " . I can deal with that. I have been getting headaches, but that is a common problem for me. But the other stuff, when I searched on the net, it seemed to indicate that these could all be signs of renal failure. So is it possible that my kidneys are getting overloaded? That the juice mixtures are too strong? Any ideas? Thanks!!! oak1day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sounds silly to me, to eat that much fruit even if you include vegetable fruits. Between the two, I eat probably four, maybe five a day. rawfood , Tess West <tesser2u> wrote: > > Really 2-3 dozen pieces of fruit a day! Wow. I really don't think I could eat that much.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yes, avocados are excellent and give us the good and healthy fats but 6 or 7 a days seems very excessive. I can barely handle a half of one in a meal. Myrna E S R E D eat something raw every day Myrna Sports - Sign up for Fantasy Baseball.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 That's six or seven fruits and vegetable fruits in a day is what I meant, avocados (two a day for me) are included in that. EERED - eat everything raw every day. rawfood , esred sez myrna <notes4mld> wrote: > Yes, avocados are excellent and give us the good and healthy fats but 6 or 7 a days seems very excessive.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I liked that EERED. I just use the word something because so many people in my life find the concept of total raw eating to be wrong or unpleasant or radical and I'm trying to get them to at least think about raw food and consider increasing it in their life.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Radical - arising from or going to a root or source; departing markedly from the usual or customary; favoring or effecting fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions; slang. excellent; wonderful; n. one who advocates fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions. It is radical, we're going at the root or source of eating cooked and trying to extract that from our live. We're departing markedly from the usual way society eats. We're favoring a revolutionary change in our eating style and advocating such to whomever is willing to listen. Rich rawfood , esred sez myrna <notes4mld> wrote: > I liked that EERED.
