General Discussion / Re: Raw Fruitarian...good god, help me
« on: October 09, 2011, 05:59:37 am »I had never read the Wai diet, but I was eating sort of similiar, though with cooked meat and raw milk. Sometimes brown rice cooked in meat broth and coconut milk.
Anyways, yeah, fruit was by far the staple of my diet. I was aging fast, getting wrinkles. My teeth felt like they were crumbling. I feel like I managed to reverse the damage however, feel way better than I can ever remember now.
I can't say exactly how long I was eating high fruit, but I took it to extremes last year from June through August when I finally gave up and basically ate as much raw dairy as I had been eating fruit and even less fruit than I had been eating dairy. Results were staggering. Getting on the Primal Diet has been really key for me though IMO.
Would you mind mentioning what you eat now? I was hoping to transition more slowly into the Wai diet, with cooked meats and non-raw milk for a while at first, at least...but you seem to be saying this is a bad idea that won't help me much anyway! Yikes! But what about people like Denise Minger?
It seems that, in my experience, there is a subset group of people that look generally good on a particular "limited" or "fringe" diet, and a whole other subset that just fails health-wise. For some reason I thought I wasn't going to be the one that failed, but hell was I wrong.
For some reason, raw or cooked, I'm still having problems with meat making me feel worse.
Could it be that the added homocysteine in my diet, combined with low stomach acid that prevents any absorption of B12, could be causing my problems? Should I separate meat from other foods, like vegetables or fruit or (for right now, at least) dairy and grains? The reason I'm adding back practically everything (but rice and gluten) is because of financial and general panic (I might really really need some nutrient right now...) issues. Granted, I can easily already tell that grains are not doing me any favors at all. Meat, on the other hand, makes me feel great...the NEXT day. Sigh.Also...for those of us who aren't aiming for zero or even particularly low carb, what forms of raw carbs other than fruit can humans actually ingest reasonably well? This takes starches entirely off the list, I think?
Also, I want to apologize for the late response--I had to visit the emergency room for severe breathing difficulties.
