I tried raw foods, the high-fat way, and failed miserably. I read Dr. Graham's book and am giving raw foods another go. Would love to get tips from others doing the same.

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
Looking to get support and answers to questions from more experienced low-fat vegans. Would love to hear food ideas, meal planning ideas, etc.

Hey thanks for the invite and what you're striving to do for everyone. It's great. I'm in Uruguay right now for the winter so I can't help you out with the buyers club but I'd love to get into it when I get back! Lets all get together for a potluck sometime eh? Maybe pool together some exotic fruits?
Thank you, Zoe, for accepting my friendship!!!
Hey. I posted a discussion that can help you seriously to get on track with 811.
I hope it really helps, it's from my experience going cold turkey from SAD a year ago.
Good Luck and best wishes,
Elijah
Hi Zoe!
What I don't do? LOL
I work with real eastate online and offline and also work on diffferent online projects.
Thanks for friendship :)
Good luck with your GTD system! I find that it combines really well with lfrw/hcrv too :)
Hi Zoey!
I would highly recommend to get a cheap scale that you can weigh fruit quantity and use it for a couple of months, to geta more objective approach as to how much you are eating as it sure helped me along the way.
Apples: grams x .52 = amount of calories
Bananas: .89
oranges: .49
Watermelon: .3
Cantaloupe: .34
Honeydew melon: .36
Medjool Dates: 2.77
grapes: .69
kiwi: .61
mango: .65
pineapple: .5 or divide grams by two
strawberries: .32
durian: 1.47
papaya: .39
peaches: .39
mandarin oranges: .53
These are some fruits I just memorized out of habit, I wouldn't be too concerned about leaves, an ave of 1 kg would go to 170 kcal romaine or celery.
I also would recommend you to watch a video by owen fox from 30bad before the next time you reach for the bread whenever you have 15 minutes to relax and listen. He's a really happy funny guy.

I hope this helps you and wish you the best,

Not sure on the foot, been a while since I checked as I am short of $ and can't do anything about it anyway.
BTW Sally-Ann is on Facebook if you'd like to search her out to ask her things. Pretty obvious who she is when you find her :) Raw all over.
Hi Zoe,
Salt of any origin is not an ingredient supported here, including seaweed. You might like to read some foodnsport FAQs:
http://foodnsport.com/blog/articles/do-you-find-this-stimulating.php
Is eating sea salt all right?
Extracted sodium chloride, in any form other than the small amounts naturally occurring in whole plant foods, is an irritant and is toxic to the body. It causes a decay of the sense of taste, retards digestion/excretion, and impairs the critical cellular potassium/sodium ratio upsetting our natural water balance. Drinking sea water causes dehydration and results in death in only a few days due to the salt content; extracting the salt from the water and ingesting it leads in the same direction. "You would not drink ocean water, as the salt in it is vile, caustic, irritating and in quantity, deadly, even though it is diluted by a lot of water.

Additionally all seaweed has heavy metals in them even those that the package says they don't. The oceans are heavily polluted with mercury and the seaweed binds with these metals.
Best,
Shell
