• A healthy option to a juice fast is to go on a mono-fruit "island". For example, go on watermelon island, eat only watermelons, or banana island, eat only bananas, or mango island, or grape island. When I went on watermelon island for a couple days …

• yes, it was the salt. salt makes you retain water. because it's TOXIC. the body retains water to dilute the salt and minimize it's negative effects.

• Thanks for your tips everybody. I will try to do my best, as always. I'll definitely make a beeline for the markets as soon as possible and as often as possible. I know if I stray too far, I get cranky, so I wouldn't really want to put my family thr…

• It wasn't until I went 80-10-10 raw vegan that my body balanced itself out. Since you like to read and research, I would definitely recommend researching the 80/10/10 diet, or ordering the book. Congrats on your first 30 days!

• i am all about grapes right now. and i'd say perhaps some blueberries/mango to add to a banana smoothie to make it yummier. watermelon is also so delish. i also eat about 1/2 a head of romaine lettuce a day, either just alone by itself or in smoothi…

• Children require a much higher fat diet than adults. Maybe your little one would like avocado?

• @eecho You obviously didn't understand me when I said your body RUNS on sugar. You need more than a lb of vegetables to fuel a human being.

  in low-fruit, nut-free raw vegans Comment by zinfandel
• @sueko If you're not consuming any fruit at all you must be eating cooked because every cell on your body runs on glycogen (sugar). It doesn't compute.

• It's true. I got blood work done after about a month of being fruitarian! That means no greens. I had also been 99% raw for months before that. My protein levels were great and my iron was off the charts.

• AVL, First of all, it might help to add potatoes and/or rice back into your diet, and just allow yourself to have it when you want. That way you're pendulum hopefully won't get so out of whack, swinging way in one direction and then way in the other…

• I think Dr. G is making great use of a forum where people can ask basic questions, but I agree it is glaringly 90s looking. It also works to funnel the people who have real problems into consultations with him or a fasting clinic. I'm not a member o…

• Pineapple are a low-cal fruit. You said you hadn't eaten all day, I personally would probably have eaten more than a whole pineapple! There are only about 250 cals in a whole pineapple. Look it up for yourself, use google.

• i think reading the 80/10/10 diet could set you straight. perhaps the insoluble fiber is too much if you are eating lots of veggies. fat is difficult for most people to digest. if you are still having trouble after eating mostly monomeals, try blend…

• Thanks all. I guess I won't delete my account, but I probably won't post much. I just want to see what difference not participating in forums makes. I often find myself brought down because of forums, but not really this one. Good luck everybody.

• I agree that it's not healthy to consume that much olive oil. Olive oil is 100% fat, and not found in nature. There is nothing in nature that is 100% fat. I never ever use olive oil, and generally try to keep my fat intake on the low side.

• A lot of 801010ers dont even make salads. Just wrap fruit in lettuce and your good to go. Or eat a head of lettuce alone. Tastes like butter.
