  Do any fruits work? I know that my body handles an orange differently than it does berries (I do better with berries). Do seeds like sunflower or pumpkin work for you? What about hempseed? I hope you are able to find your answers.

  It's ridiculous to think a human could live on vegetables. It is not possible. You probably binge a lot.

  You are not physiologically different than I am. We are human beings, human beings can simply not live off a vegetable diet. There is no getting around this, you are wrong.

  That sounds horrible, why make your body do so much work when you can eat the simple sugars as is? You must be terribly sedentary, as that is a poor choice of fuel not fit for anyone who is active. I exercise a minimum to 4 hours a day and burn a minimum of 1500 calories a day, I could not handle that. You must be very disciplined, or lying. Cheers.

  I think everyone needs to chill out. Our bodies are unique and our food intake (variety, type, amount) varies from person to person. If someone wants to live on vegetables with few sprouts and nuts/seeds, let the person be happy eating it. Eating (sweet) fruits on a raw diet is not absolutely essential. It's about how you feel and how much energy your food gives you.

  Hi,

  I too cannot eat nuts due to allergies, but I am 60% raw. I use coconut meat, sprouted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. I also do hemp and chia. I also cannot do tahini which but I can do plain sesame seeds (weird).

  I prepared ALOT of meals and am working on a nut free, soy free, wheat free cookbook as I also cannot do soy or wheat, but I do fine with sprouted spelt and kamut.

  Peace

  I am thinking of giving up sweet fruit for awhile. It is triggering a severe sugar addiction for me. Thank you all for your encouraging posts. I think I will need to up the avocado and nuts if I am to put down the sweets.

  Thank you all for some great posts. I am 99%raw vegan but the sugar cravings being triggered by all the fruit has become agonizing. I think I need to find a healthy raw vegan food plan without sweet fruit. Looks like I'll be adding avocado and more nuts and seeds.
