I have been watching Dr. Morse's videos, and one of the best lines were:
"I have been thinking about the ape, a humble big creature, protecting of course, eating sweet fruit all day... they must be in ecstasy most of the time. Have you ever seen these birds eating berries, and they flying onto cars, and into buildings?
We could say animals could be in ecstasy just to be living, and because they don't do anything that could hurt themselves.
Man does.
Now we have air polluted so bad, that the animals get cancer, frogs mutating etc."
Do you feel the near bliss state when eating fruit, and even afterwards?
I started to make this connection deep inside, of how I really feel eating a sweet papaya and keep feeling for an hour or so afterwards, and how I feel when my face falls into a pot of greasy potatoes and keep feeling afterwards. A remarkable difference, even with all the memories of past enjoyment of the potato dish, the papaya (which is new in my life, only the past 10 years of eating it) wins with flying colours.
So now, I'm wondering why do I still ruin this bliss with the potato dish, from time to time? I'm still working on this. :-(

You know, Yogaranka, this has happened to me lately. The whole greasy potatoes thing. My mind thinks so much on the fruit diet, I end up exhausting myself into some sort of depression. Guess there's a lot I need to fix in my life, huh? When I eat the potatoes (I don't react as bad to them, I realized last week! Interesting...), it's like I am sedated... and I could think "straight." However, deep down in my conscience, I feel a sense of guilt and sadness. I know better. I know the reason I am eating the potatoes is because I can't handle the false reality I have fabricated.
I'm glad that this high seems to be relatively normal- I am new to this, and just yesterday as I was having my second smoothie of the day, holy s#*!, this ridiculously AMAZING, euphoric energy began creeping up my legs and into my spine and skull. It was pretty much the equivalent to the beginning of a trip on ecstasy, really.
Does anyone have science to back this up? What is happening biologically which makes us feel this intense rush? Why didn't I get this from basic raw diet? Is it the lack of fat?

Look into Tony's theory, that should help explain it. He sees fruit as drugs with complex biochemistry.
Oh, you are still on the sweet side, how lovely! I haven't seen you for a while. I missed your saucy comments. We'll meet one day.
And that is exactly what I missed so badly on the high fat, high green diet of the alkavorian type...the bliss. It was the steady blah instead.
I was once eating strawberrie here at work and a coworker asked if I was having fun. I then noticed, I was enjoying the bliss they were giving me.
i turned Vegan over 2 decades ago ...i still get that high when i eat sweet fruit....a sense of "everything is allright"
I feel so so so awesome I could climb up a tree like a monkey after eating papayas and mangoes~
I believe when on a all fruit diet living in a colder climate the body and heart wants to be somewhere warmer for it would only natural to continue the good vibes.
However due to attachments and obligations it is like a battle between what ones true nature really is.
It is a very interesting thing this is why many do not want to succeed on a high fruit diet. "having to make real choices."
Take Care,
You hit that nail on the head, BigG! Exactly! Sometimes I think I self sabotage myself, just to be like "them", the people around me.
:-)
Well we need "you" because you are a good person. We have enough of "them".
We all go through this. We all have "justifications" why we do this and that the justifications become more and more obvious when we eat a very high fruit diet.
No escaping it this is why many will run for the heaviness of cooked food to avoid what is put in front of us.
Not all justifications are bad but for many if they can't theymight be going to the local bridge.
It takes lots of courage and honesty to live on a high fruit diet. Many can not and those that say it is not possible well "for them emotionally yes but they won't tell you this". You can't fool the mind and body when it is running on optimum levels. This scares most people back to comfort foods.
The exciting thing is you are aware this is huge progress most aren't and they end up hurting themselves through the food suicide on installment plan program.
By the way love Dr. Morse videos. He makes me laugh in a good way.
Take Care,
