I just had the idea since it takes the red blood cells 120 days to renew and rebuild its supply it must take other cells about the same. So to give this way of eating an honest go of it. You must commit to at least 4 months. SO i messed up a little the first but as it goes Im getting better control of myself. Now i look back I was limiting my fruit intake I wasn't eating very much so no NRG for me. So over the next 3 months I m going to experiment on how much of each to eat. I just upped my fruit to 75% of my diet. So far more energy.

Now for monofruit eating. I never could understand the mono fruit meals. After 3 days of 85% fruits my taste buds don't want to combine fruits. Now I get it. I guess experience is a plus. So if your new to raw food give a chance,experiment, and don't give up if your having a bad day(detox). It will get better the second month I feel great. Almost euphoric today. FRUITS??????

    I'm loving this new high fruit thing you're trying!! I'm not sure how long myt current juice fast will last, but I might give it a try when I'm done.

    The only thing I'm worried about, as Cathy mentioned, is the availability of fruit this time of year. I know you're loving the grapes, what else are you eating? Hmmmm.... I guess there's good oranges and bananas still?

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80's I did the "Beverly Hills Diet" hahahhaha! And I remember it was a high fruit diet -- three days of grapes, as I recall, a day or two of just pineapple -- and I have to tell you, I LOVED IT. I had incredible energy, my skin glowed, I must've dropped 30 pounds over those 5 or 6 weeks..... sadly, unlike raw, it wasn't sustainable... that's the beauty of raw foodism, it's good for the long-term!

    Sounds like you are doing great!Love your energy! @qwerty, the 80's?? So you must be near ancient like me then? LOL And I think right now grapefruit, oranges, mangos, and pomegranites are actually in season. Apples are pretty good. Of course, there is always the trusty bananas. I feel so guilty eating them, but ...sigh. Google banana republic. I think that I naturally do not combine fruits for some reason. Always have been that way and even when little did not like mixed fruit salads and would not touch them if they had any dressings poured over them. I picked out each fruit separately and sorted them. But I sorted my M&Ms before eating them, too, so maybe I just have a case of OCD. Veggies though...those I mix all the time. I might suggest mixing pineapple with something though. Tonight I ate half of one and my mouth is burnt, lol.

    Qwerty, That is like so totally awesome. For Sure. LOL.

    I must have some greens each day juice or salad to feel balanced. I am having alot of energy but I have to eat so much. Im blowing my notions out the window. Forget about sugar as long as its raw Im eating it.
