>Lance: >> It seems to me that fruit is half of the raw food available, vegetables >being the other half. > >Are you eating vegan? 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. >Are you fatigued mentally (want to lie down and sleep) or physically (not >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. >Cut back on the fruit, and add raw meat or other animal protein (although I >usually lightly-cook my meat, and eat eggs with raw yolks and cooked >whites). 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. >It makes sense to me. I used to have terrible problems with fruit (partly >due to a yeast overgrowth that is now gone), but even now fruit increases >fatigue a bit unless it is a small amount. Balancing the blood sugar by >having 2 or 3 (animal) protein meals daily has helped me. 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). >You might be interested in my page.
