  • eat a lot more fruit for a lot more energy and less cravings to lose weight , eat less than you burn to gain weight , eat more than you burn the above simple equation holds as true for raw foods as it does for cooked…it is the only diet ‘secret’ you…

  • i have to apologize cos people are gonna get very tired of me soon, but i have to point it out if you need 2600 calories (85 % raw) to maintain your weight ( assuming you want to do this), then you’ll need the same amount of calories raw to maintain…
  • here’s a post from a friend of mine in response to a very ‘female’ candida-related problem his name is adam greer and i asked for his permission to quote him ‘in full’ hope it helps :o) “Treating candida topically is simply treating the symptom. If …
  • germin8…...well….the point is that higher fat levels and fruit will cause the candida to bloom…..so, even if you cure it and resume this combination , it will return this is why i say you have to make the choice between fat and fruit for the long te…
  • que ????
  • actually it is the combination of too much fat and fruit if i may quote doug graham “Excess fat is the culprit in candida, not sugar, per se. When fat levels in the blood rise, so does blood sugar, because excess fat inhibits insulin from performing…
  • great site socaL…have been there before but lost the link he and dr.graham advocate similar ‘systems’...his caloronutrient ratio is almost spot on at 80/10/10
