Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to the Frugivore Diet. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member).

30 years old and ready to be a lean bean! :) This way of eating is new to me. I have come from a struggled binge and purge meat eating background. I have looked into becoming Vegan for several years but always got scared off by stories people told me about how being vegan or raw was not good for you... I decided to investigate it properly for myself! I have read and listened to your b/vlogs and am convinced this way of eating would be good for me. I have started reading the 80 10 10 book and am shocked at what I used to eat and how it effected my body!

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:

I really want to be HCRV and just need some guidance

Are you Connected?

yes i am

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are...

I love being outdoors, walking, swimming, art, history, reading, drawing, being out on the motorbike, being with my friends and family, designing and trying to make jewellery. I love the art and literature of the Medieval and Renaissance period, also anything from 1920-1940 also Architecture and design of these periods. I visit exhibitions regularly :)

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?

I think I would like some help with the nutritional guidance, of what the body needs and help me to dispel myths about potatoes and fruit sugar! Also about how much fat the body really needs etc. I am planning on doing Rawtil4 with 1 day as wholly raw. It's difficult for me to do only one cooked meal a day at the weekend as my other half and I go touring on the motorbike which usually involves lots of cafe/pub stops. I have been taking bunches of bananas and apples in a rucksack with me but am finding that i'm eating 2 cooked LF vegan meals on sat and sun. Hopefully this won't hinder me too much in the beginning as I'm looking to focus on health and happieness and let the rest progress naturally :)

Hi Gwen,

I run the meetup group "Manchester Raw Food" in Old Trafford (http://www.meetup.com/Raw-Vegan-Manchester/).

I'm just messaging you as I have a spare room in my house (in Manchester, Old Trafford, 15m walk from Unicorn) available and wondered whether you know any fruity or vegan people who might be interested. It will be available beginning - mid to October. Its just being re-decorated.

Lucky you!

I've never been but my good friend Fran has brought me back some bananas and blood oranges from there, soooo gooood!

Oh awesome.

I'm from Wallasey, not sure you know where that is but in Wirral.

My stash is from the wholesalers on Edge lane Liverpool.

You're in luck though because there is an amazing wholesalers in Manchester called unicorn. Google that shiz! It is all organic too, which is even better :)

Im having the same problem, getting my carbs in during the work day is difficult. But anything worth having takes hard work, including good health. Also, I am learning to pound calories in the morning. I find that dates and bananas are good for on-the-go food. I order my dates online (the food, not the single girls ;)). Also, as durianrider always says, those that matter dont mind, those that mind dont matter.
