I eat fruit only in the morning.  Then for supper I have raw veggies
and
usually something heavier like grains, or beans or fish.  If I eat
fruit
in the morning, then a salad for lunch (or anything heavier), I get
fatigued after lunch.  If I eat fruit all day I still get tired late
afternoon.

>wanting to walk for eg)?

Generally, I am always somewhat tired.  Come afternoon it becomes
profound.  I literal drag.  Part of it has to do with disregulation of
the blood vessels, maybe . . . but how or why or even if, I am not
sure.

I tried adding raw eggs to a fruit smoothing.  This seemed to clog up
my
bowels and make them STINK.  I also got this putrid tast in the mouth
(and it made me tired).  So I gave it up. I did use organic.

The problem is I can't get much raw animal stuff around here that is
good.  I can get some cheese and eggs and maybe sardines ... but
that's
it.  I might be able to get raw milk from the amish but my mom would
freak (and she is my contact).
