Maybe I am not cleaned out enough, but I can't tell if I have digested
something or not. Could you go into some details about that. How long it
takes for juicy fruits to go through and how do you know if they are
digested partially or not at all, or fully? Same question for avacodos
and fish or meat. If you have veggies with protein, how do you know what
is or isn't digested if it is mixed.

What do you think of Edward Howell's theory that the need for uncooked
food is because of the enzymes in food that digest themselves, and thus
spare our own enzymes? Do you think you might be more adapted to slightly
cooked meat and veggies than to raw?

I was addicted to dairy and grains, and I'm beginning to find it useful
to sense that something that is addicting is not what I need, for example
, sweet corn. How is that rare meat affecting you. Do you crave it? I
look forward to your posts about this.

My best, Ellie
