• Yep, BS or not, it's cured my candida, rashes, fatigue, emotional eating, binge eating, cravings, mood swings, etc. AND it's made me the person that I want to be. And I am filled with love and happiness and positive energy. All thanks to fruit!!! An…

• Also Sweet - I meant to add to my last post that yes...at first eating fruit alone can cause some digestive issues such as gas, bloating etc. I only had this problem for a little less than a week when switching to a high fruit diet so I don't have a…

• Rawpretzela, I did say never combine fruits with fats, however, it was worded poorly and should have been worded like this. Never combine sweet fruit with fats. The only fruits that can be correctly combined with fats are acid fruits. (For more on f…

• Hey there sweet, fruit is the way to go! You are definitely headed in the right direction. The reason why you crave buckwheat is probably because you aren't getting enough calories from sweet fruit. When our bodies don't get enough simple sugars fro…

• 1. No 2. B/c as I changed my diet I started feeling worse and worse after a night of drinking so it became less desirable. Haven't drank in probably 2 years. Before that I started slowing down and eventually stopped.

• crazydoglady (I love your name!) This is the opinion of the natural hygienist way of eating. I've researched it a little, but not much, as I don't really crave these things. I'd say, eat them for a while if you want to and see how they work for you.…

• Eat more fruit!!!! More nuts will only drag you down and make you hungrier b/c you still didn't get enough sweet calories from fruit. I used to not eat enough fruit and I thought I had "food issues". I thought I emotionally ate and sometimes was out…

  in need diet advice Comment by erin
• I think it's fine for ANYONE to be on this site as long as they are interested in raw vegan recipes etc. It shouldn't matter if someone eats meat themselves as long as they aren't using the forum to advise others here to do the same. By allowing mea…

• Hi Bitt - Have you eaten a high fruit diet making sure to get enough calories, keeping your fat below 10%? I'm definitely not trying to contradict you or prove you wrong, I'm just very curious as to why it didn't work for you b/c I'm still a beginne…

  in Chia makes high fruit safer? Comment by erin
• brontesaurus - the way that it actually works is that when you pair a carbohydrate with a protein/fat like apple with almond butter the sugar stays in the bloodstream therefore causing sustained high blood sugar that can't exit the bloodstream and g…

  in Chia makes high fruit safer? Comment by erin
• Hey jakkrabbit, to find out how many calories you need go to nutridiary.com. There you can enter your stats (height, weight, activity level, etc) and it will tell you how many calories you need to maintain/lose/gain weight. As for the chia, it is ac…

• RCBAlive - I would start with a little less tahini than the amount of sesame seeds that are called for. I think 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds is a little less than 1 Tbsp when made into tahini. I've got a soup in mind that I'm going to try out and post on …

• Hey RCBAlive, I made the hummus again tonight and I used 12 oz of zucchini instead of 8 oz with the same amount of sesame. I also added a little more lemon. It was great! So I think it would be just lovely if you decreased the amount of sesame or in…

• Thanks guys! Hope you enjoy. Swayze, I really enjoy your recipes! Thanks for all the info. Reading your story about your 811 journey on your site really inspired me! Joannabanana- The hummus recipe makes about 1 serving. It could be two if you are h…

• Hey Jakkrabbit, I second what Joanna said. If you are eating just fruits and veggies and a very small amount of overt fats then it's not hard at all. My fat intake is usually around 5%-8%. When I first started monitoring my fat intake I entered all …

  in Getting carb/fat/protein ratio right SO time consuming - is there a better way? Comment by erin
• Hey Deborah, I have been raw on and off (mostly on) for over a year. I too was finding that it was VERY easy for me to gain weight if I ate just a little bit too much or a little bit too much sugar, just like you were saying. I was also experiencing…

  in Weight Gain Whilst Raw Comment by erin
• Thank y'all so much. All the information has really helped. Kellyanne, your situation sounds VERY similar to mine. I too didn't know what candida was until I started a gourmet high fat raw diet. I tried the "anti-candida diet" with all the probiotic…

• Thanks so much chilove, today is my first day eating 811 and so far so good. As far as how much I should eat, do I need to meet my caloric needs even if that means eating more than I am satisfied with? I'm getting the book in soon and am sure that w…

• Thanks very much RawKaren! I'll check those posts out. Just as a clarification to the post for everyone- I'm not only looking for people who have done 811 and had a good experience getting rid of candida, but I'd also like to hear from anyone who ha…

• I completely agree with everything that eecho said. I have personally experienced everything she said. I find that when I eat light and less and don't eat a few hours before going to bed I feel 100% better than when I'm overeating heavy nut based go…

• I've heard that you can use many different grains to make it including wheat berries, rye, quinoa, millet and possibly others, that's just the ones I've heard of. It is traditionally made from wheat berries though. There are lots of websites with di…

• I've never seen rejuvelac for sale anywhere. Although, it is REALLY easy to make. There are several different methods, but some are as easy as letting grains soak in water and draining the water, which is then rejuvelac.

• I know that feeling too haha. You may want to look into EFT and polarity reversal. It's when the energy poles in our bodies which causes problems such as continued failure on something that you want to do better at and plan to do better at. There ar…

• Hey AVL, I think we all know the feeling, or at least most of us do. To me when I eat things that I don't want to eat, it's not so much about what I'm eating, but more about the feeling of being out of control like you said. Then the feeling of bein…

• This is a recipe for a chocolate almond butter pie called "Life by Chocolate" I have not made the exact recipe before, but something very similar. It was DELICIOUS! If you didn't want the chocolate part you could do just do the nut butter layer.
