pc, I don't like to bag on others and do believe myself that there are more than one approach to healthful living and eating. That said, those of us who've experienced being on high fruit diets for years can relate to some of the issues he seems to exhibit, irratibility, lack of muscle, etc...I havn't been paying attention in the past year or two, but to my knowledge he doesn't win races, semi-rightly blaiming how much dopeing in the sport there is. Seeing since he seems to follow the program as closely as possibly under the most ideal of circumstances (being in the tropics, eating fruit off trees most part of the year, having no amalgams, eating a range of fruits including fattier fruits etc...) his 'results' seem to be a poor model esp. for folks simply manufacturing the same macronutrient ratios in places like Canada for instance.
Remember, 811 is basically a pureified version of tradtional carb burning values a la Ornish etc...
high carb eating, especially raw fruit yields plenty of manic energy usable for sport, just because this is 'naturally occurring' doesn't make the assumption that it is healthier long term than things like drugs other athletes consume when it comes to adrenals etc... The arguments that fruits contain all the essential aminos, proteins and minerals etc...and eating 1000s upon thousands of calories above basel metapbolic cannot yield observable muscle growth is issue enough to suspect, other than the brain issues which are also protein/fat related.
I'm curious about your advise for beginners, is this because you found jumping 100% to RAF minus vegetation and fruits to cause problems for yourself? how long did you you try this?
