30 bananas a day - Forum - The Frugivore Diet

Welcome new and returning members to The Frugivore Diet!

Hi there!

welcome fellow frugivore! it's great to have you here on the new site. this site was formerly known as "30 bananas a day" and that URL will still bring you here. i created 30 bananas a day back in 2009 and have spent about $8000 on the site since then (mostly on fees and graphic design). the site is now over $1000 a year but will always be free for you to enjoy (as long as i can afford it!). i stopped posting on the site a number of years ago after giving into cooked food :-/ and although the site was still costing me money, I resisted deleting it as it's such an amazing wealth of raw living food information with over 34,000 discussions (so be sure to do a search!). i also knew deep down that i'd be back ;) another reason for revamping the site is that i detest the control facebook, youtube, instagram has over forums and our data. this platform is a lot better and allows more freedom.

personally, since april 2020 i am back on what i call "The Frugivore Diet" which is a raw living foods diet or high carb raw vegan diet and the perfect fresh name for the site imo. as far as i'm concerned - this is it, for life! i hope to connect (and reconnect) with many more of you on the same path and reignite the worlds love for fruit and living foods. new year, great time to embrace a new (or old) healthy way of living. i am still tweaking and updating the site so you still may see reference to 30 bananas a day here and there. if you have any questions feel free to leave them below and i will reply when i can. i plan on spending more time on the site but am still busy with youtube and my food forest.

would love to hear about why you are here or why you are returning, please lettuce know below. the site is a little quiet now but i'm sure we can get it 'fired up' again. please spread the world and invite those you think will be interested. i will be making a dedicated video promoting the site on my youtube channel. i know i'm excited for the future!

love freelee (& yes i have since dropped the use of capitals for a number of reasons!).

PS - here is an example of a week of eating for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8aCCH9W23Q

My 3 Year Raw Vegan Bodybuilding Transformation Video!

My 3 Year Raw Vegan Bodybuilding Transformation Video!

Hi everyone, it has been over half a year now since I posted a recent picture of myself here so I figured that it was about time to post a new one but after looking at some old pictures of myself and then looking in the mirror I said to myself, "Forget taking a picture, I'm making a YouTube video about this!"

This is my first YouTube video. If you like it please subscribe. (I can't image myself not making more videos in the future.) And by all means please share this with anyone who you think would benefit from seeing it.

This video only takes about 3 minutes to watch but it took me 3 years to make it happen :)

Oh yeah, this is also my 1,000th post on 30BAD! YAY!!!

I ate a fruit that tasted like a donut (seriously), has someone else experienced something similar?

2012-03-12T15:05:08.000Z

It seems unreal and strange, but yes I actually ate a fruit today that tasted like a doughnut/donut. It wasn't any special rare fruit, it was just a clementine or mandarin or something like that. It was one or two that had that weird familiar donut taste. The rest of them were normal and sweet and juicy like they should be. :)

It wasn't like one of those american dunkin donuts type, more like one of these (below) that are covered in sugar and with jam on the inside. In my country they usually eat those to celebrate the 1st day of May. They have never tasted like that to me before, and I certainly don't think the donuts tasted like fruit before when I used to eat them. I haven't eaten that in a long time so what is this?! I didn't enjoy it very much, it was just a weird experience. I wasn't thinking of donuts so it was not imaginary. lol... I know this seems crazy.

So am I an alien now? Or has something like this happened to other people?

Why do people always get addicted to what makes them sick?

2011-11-03T06:44:08.000Z

Im talking mental, emotional, physical addiction...there's this saying you know 'you're drawn to what makes you sick' this is of course only so true sometimes while other times it may be false. but I find it an interesting irony from whatever created this world and life that addiction is almost always connected to what makes people sick....hmmm well ok sometimes it's not I guess...and almost always start as the attempt to fulfill some essential need but eventually just running amok for whatever reason and not upholding the delicate balance.

but I would like to hear your thoughts on this, would you have any.

ciao!

Man stays awake for 11 days without sleep - Tony Wright?

2011-10-30T22:50:12.000Z

Hi guys,I don't mean this in any way sarcastic but could anyone explain the point he wanted to make by this experiment because although I've heard him talking about it im not sure I understand what he means. This is the Tony Wright who was a speaker at the WSFF right?ciao!

What would you choose for your last meal?

2011-10-22T06:39:10.000Z

Let's pretend you were on death row, what would you choose for your last meal?

What motivates you? (in general)

2011-10-19T20:55:45.000Z

What makes you focus on the right things whenever you are having doubts about this or that or just going through something? what makes you appreciate life and stay grateful for having the opportunity to experience beautiful things sometimes or all the time?

What makes life precious to you?

What is your position on 'free will'?...I mean if you think it exists how would you explain it?

2011-10-16T02:20:36.000Z

I know, irrelevant question right!

Well...sometimes I find a certain amusement/anything-elsement from asking not too relevant questions.

Good start on this discussion btw.

Thanks in advance for a good discussion!

See you around!

Like attracts like or opposites attract or a messy combination of both?

2011-10-15T08:00:27.000Z

Can someone explain this seemingly contradictory .......

they are both universal laws, right? how does it works out there?.. in the universe

Just to spice up this discussion a bit I give you these two time-lapse videos

What's the single most important quality in other people for you?

2011-10-09T21:31:05.000Z

It can be any kind of quality, which one means most to you, which one is superior to all others?

(You can only say one! Cheating will have dire consequences!)

What's the most reccuring theme of thoughts you have when being in bed at night right before falling asleep?

2011-10-06T17:17:00.000Z

I wanna know. I need to know!

Water-fasting - does it deplete your minerals/vitamins reserves or does rebalance/redistribute them?

2011-09-22T06:35:52.000Z

I know this is a general question to a somewhat individual issue (I guess). And I know this site does not recommend water-fasting, so im not trying to promote, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE WAY IT'S BEEN CONDUCTED IN MY EXAMPLE, it im just interested to hear your opinions.

Im going to use an extreme fasting-case as example for this question of mine, so please beware that nor does this represent how people ordinarily fasts, nor is the procedure recommended by anyone being into fasting (in my knowledge). and the post-fast choices sounds horrendeous.

This woman did 3 consecutive 40 days of water-fasting with 7 days refeeding in-between each fast.

My question is, how is it possible to not suffer from demineralization etc etc. after so long of water-fasting? and how is it possible for this woman to turn out seemingly so well in the post-fasting yaddayyadda? im really curious to know.
