  • Look into the 80-10-10 site and book. You need to eat a lot of fruit for the calories necessary to be athletic. http://foodnsport.com/ If you increase calories with fats you just don't get the energy boost because it takes energy to digest nuts and …
  • Storing in the freezer is definitely better for nutrient value but be sure to take them out of the trays and put them in sealed bags as soon as they are frozen. Otherwise they go all weird.
  • I called Blendtec after I read the post about the BPA free Vitamix. Their new jar is BPA free but mine that I've had for a year has minute amounts of BPA in it. I have to buy the new jar for 50 bucks. I guess I'll live with mine for a while. The oth…
  • You know I think it is only the kind that have mineral oils in them that you have to avoid. They actually dry the skin, leading to more business ;-) I recently bought one called eco-lips, probably their site is called the same. It's made of the good…

  • I'd add in a lot more greens if I were you. It is the greens that really clean you out and escort toxins out of your system. If you just add enough fruit to make the greens taste ok, that is plenty.

  • Cabbage is a hard one for me too. I've tried it a couple of times because it's supposed to be so good for you, but I felt sick afterwards and had terrible gas. So I just don't use it anymore.
  • Hi Cynthia, Check out the 80-10-10 diet book. I have type 1.5 diabetes and was worried about eating so much fruit. Dr D says it is the combo of fruit and fat together that causes diabetes. It is working out fine so far. My insulin needs have already…
  • That reminds me, I saw on the juice feasting site that the woman there makes her juice in the blender and then squeezes it in a nutmilk bag. She thinks it's better and faster also. I'll have to try it.
    in Do you juice?? Comment by freepam
  • I juice every day at lunch and the amount of greens that I put in the juice fills my biggest mixing bowl. There is no way I could chew all that. I love the juice and look forward to it. I don't add fruits to this, only carrots for sweetening. At nig…
    in Do you juice?? Comment by freepam
  • Hi Carnap, It is good to start with one ounce a day because if you go too fast you could develop an aversion to it. Ann Wigmore recommended up to 2 ounces a day if you were not sick, as a maintenance dose. Athletes I know take up to 8 ounces a day b…
  • Kale and chard are the worst for me because they are so bitter. You could start with butter lettuce or romaine just using lemon juice as a dressing. I loved the creamy dressings before 811 but I'm gradually getting used to none or a little lemon. I …
  • Yes, I don't think I'd buy lettuce there, just fruit. But I have a Lotus Sanitizing system so, although I usually buy organic, I don't worry if I don't. You put the lettuce or fruit in a bowl of water and some magical electrical thing happens that n…
    in Cheap fruit Comment by freepam
  • Hi Angel, I've been doing the Candida diet for months now along with the psyllium, bentonite and oil drink from Wholeapproach.com. It hasn't worked very well for me. But anyway they say no sugars of any kind, no grains, no potatoes or starches that …
  • Funny, that male pattern baldness thing seems to be really hard to fix. I noticed that Dr Doug has it too, probably a bit later than he would have on a dead food diet. Maybe there is a good reason for men to lose their hair that we haven't figured o…
    in Hair Loss Comment by freepam
  • Yes, I second all of that. it frees up so much time and energy for other creative things. The funny part is that my daughter-in-law and I both had the same effect - we are transforming our houses. So that's a side blessing of the diet. Now we are fi…
  • Hi Lisa, I've been up on a ladder painting my house all week and just saw your comment. Yes, you make sense with the soul thing, like 'soul food', I get it now. Words have different meanings for everyone, it's a wonder we can communicate at all. I c…
  • Hi Lisa, I'm sorry you are feeling blue. You aren't getting enough calories though, I'm sure that's a big part of the reason. The key to this diet is to have most of your calories from fruits. When you do that you feel so satisfied and full that coo…
  • Whoopee! I'm up to 2000 calories but that takes 5 meals a day, breakfast and snack are both fruit. Lunch starts with fruit, then greens, afternoon snack is fruit, and evening meal is fruit then greens. Dr D says to eat fruit before anything else bec…
  • Hi Lisa, would that be the Farmer Boy in Santa Barbara? We used to go in there for breakfast quite a lot. I don't think I could handle it now. On my own at home I am just totally fine with the diet - but around other people I do feel left out even i…
  • My family just went out the door so I'm starting on the trial tomorrow. I slipped a lot while they were here and now I feel groggy and my eyes are tired. So I will start with a 3 day green juice fast and then strict 80-10-10 for a month. The juice f…
  • Hi Lisa, I'm still on for starting on Jan 5 when my kids go home. I have been doing the diet with some cheats for a few weeks now and I am feeling so good. I'll be happy to check in here once a week or if anything special happens. It seems like a lo…
  • Bummer, sharkbyte. I'll miss you. But I'll just reread the old trial from June. I'm doing really well on my practising. Good luck, Pam
  • Ok, sharkbyte, we're on for Jan 5. I downloaded that Cronometer program that el-bow recommended and found out that the seed smoothie I have in the mornings will have to go. It has about 60% fat. That means I have to eat a huge amount more of fruit t…
  • I got the book right now! And that June 30 day challenge thread that El-bo had before looks great. I'll have to read the whole thing. Thanks for that. I knew he was really into it but it seems impossible to search by author on this forum. When are y…
  • I'm in! I was going to start about January 4 when my family goes home. I am going to start with a 4 day green juice fast and then go at least 30 days on 80-10-10. I've been waiting for the book to arrive for ever. The first one got lost in media mai…
  • Hey Rawjazz, I'm really happy for you. I believe our minds create our reality at least as much as our food, if not more. I'm going to try that on some moles.
  • I'm glad to hear your story, Sieze. I was about to do the 80-10-10 thing full bore. I think what it comes down to is that we are not all the same. We have different histories and systems. Nothing works for everyone. I just can't understand how you g…
  • Thank you, emtpdmom. I do that with kiwis already so I will add the other fruit. I thought a few nice fruit ripener bowls would look a bit better in my kitchen than a bunch of brown bags ;-) Oh, well! Yes, I will get a bunch more stuff mid-week. I h…
  • I don't mean to step out of line here but what I heard from your initial post is that you and your guy have very little common ground. I always looked back on any dud relationships I had and asked myself, why didn't my friends tell me what they saw?…
  • I use vitamin E oil for all cuts and scrapes and dry skin. They heal so fast. It would be fine to add it to your existing mix.
