Just finished a 2 week fruit fast and I’m feeling divine. I’m adding 2 more weeks.

I really wish I wouldn’t get told that a decision I make is wrong due to common beliefs that have not been deeply researched.

I recently went on a mostly fruit diet with no animal products because I want to heal my rosacea, which I discovered is linked to many autoimmune diseases, one of the most prevalent in my family is type 2 diabetes.

Upon doing research about skin problems and why they manifest, I came across information about the kidneys and poor filtration through the liver which leads to waste being taken out on the skin if your organs are not working together to remove the waste normally.

I did my research to understand what could work to finally heal my rosacea since it is so deeply misunderstood and judged. All my life I’ve been criticized because of it until I got older and stopped caring so much. But more than just aesthetic purposes, I want to heal my body from the inside out and it causes so much anger for me at times when I open up about these choices I’m making to better myself and I get told I’m not consuming enough protein or that I need to eat meat or eggs or whatever it may be that common media shares.

Our biology closely resembles frugivores, not carnivores. The only way we “safely” consume meat and animal products is by cooking, pasteurizing, or doing some sort of process to make it edible. That, to me, doesn’t make any sense. We get told to eat fruits and vegetables when we’re sick because they heal so wouldn’t it make sense to consume food we know to be healing most of the time?

How can we use it as medicine and then turn around and say “oh you can’t eat too much fruit because of the sugar” as if simple fruit sugar is equivalent to processed refined sugar… also, all our cells need sugar. Our body runs on glucose… which is sugar. Literally everything we consume gets transformed into glucose. Insulin gets released into the bloodstream to help transport glucose to our organs so we have energy and can function. So even foods that are low in sugar get turned into glucose… which again, is sugar. Processed sugar, like any processed food, is bad for you. It is not the same as eating raw fruit - the food the Earth created for us to consume. (Is it really that surprising that the food we can naturally consume is the most healing food for us? It’s almost as if our biology, which resembles frugivores in nature, is made for the consumptions of fruits. Amazing.)

This whole idea that protein is everything was not emphasized until the last 1000 years or so. Protein was not emphasized as the most important source of sustenance for all time. Fruits and vegetables were. There are entire cultures that thrive off of fruits and vegetables and do not struggle with the same level of disease as we do.

It’s so annoying that veganism or any sort of diet with a strong focus on fruits and vegetables gets criticized so much. I’m not pushing my choices on anyone and I wish their choices didn’t get pushed on me, especially coming from people who are currently struggling with health issues and are trying multiple protocols that are not working. It doesn’t make sense to take advice from someone else who is trying to figure it out and is not succeeding yet I’m being criticized personally for taking advice from sources who have healed themselves and others.

No one will know my body better than me. I have tried to get assistance from doctors and dermatologists. None of them have helped. Some have even made things worse by giving me medications that suppressed my symptoms for a few weeks only for them to come back stronger and then I got prescribed a more intense medication with tons of side effects. If I cannot trust in myself and intuitively listen to my body, then I will never heal. My body is my own. My choices are my own. Feel free to judge them when I am not around but keep your negativity to yourself. I’ve only being doing this for two days and I feel so much better, my digestion is better, and my rosacea is not flaring up. That cannot be a coincidence. Please stop listening to mass media and do your own research to heal your body and mind.

I just wanted to share with you all that there's this bundle sale (until Jan 8th, 2023) for plant-based lifestyle ebooks, guides, courses, and recipes. I'm not associated with it and I tend to find these things a bit gimmicky, but there are a few people who have offered up full-content products (so, it's a good sale to take up, especially if you are one of the following).

I would say it's great if you are:

a vegan athlete,

wanting guidance on eating more whole food plant based or raw vegan,

new to juicing,

needing help with meal planning,

wanting a workout plan to follow,

struggle with plant-based holiday dishes and/or plant-based recipes for your kids,

wanting to learn to grow microgreens/sprouts,

or new to veganism/plant-based living (I definitely think that's THE target audience).

Risks of a raw vegan diet

Knowing the Hazards Associated with a Raw Vegan Diet

In order to enhance health and wellbeing, the raw vegan diet has grown in popularity recently. This diet calls for abstaining from all animal products, such as dairy, eggs, and honey, and only eating raw, plant-based meals. There are hazards involved with this diet, despite the fact that it may have certain health advantages. This post will go over some of the possible drawbacks of a raw vegan diet and what you should know before giving it a try.

deficiencies in nutrients The possibility of nutrient inadequacies is one of the main hazards connected with a raw vegan diet. It can be challenging to obtain adequate amounts of certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, calcium, and iron, without consuming animal products. The raw vegan diet might also be deficient in protein, which is necessary for preserving muscle mass and sustaining healthy bodily functions.

digestion problems Digestion problems are another another danger of a raw vegan diet. Raw meals can be challenging for the body to process, especially for people who already have digestive problems. Bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, as well as diarrhea and other digestive issues, can all result from consuming too many raw foods.

Concerns about Food Safety Consuming raw foods raises your risk of contracting a foodborne illness since they can contain dangerous bacteria and parasites. Eating uncooked food increases your chance of contracting foodborne illnesses like salmonella and E. coli, even though boiling can eradicate these organisms.

Achieving Caloric Requirements May Be Challenging It can be challenging to achieve your daily calorie requirements on a raw vegan diet because raw foods typically have lower caloric contents than cooked meals. In particular, if you are not cautious to eat enough high-calorie items like nuts and seeds, this can result in weight loss and malnutrition.
