I've been practicing 4 to 5 days and been eating  mostly Persimmons, Cherries, Champagne Mangos, Melons, Grapes and an Avocado at night. Been practicing 5 and half years and feeling really good. I find when I eat less heavy fruits I am more flexible in the room. When the Detox gets too intense I just up my avocado intake.</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/groups/bikramyoga/forum/topics/book-reviews-and-interviews-of-yogis-on-frugis 2011-12-31T21:50:24.000Z 2011-12-31T21:50:24.000Z Durianwriter https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/Durianwriter <div><p>I've started a website dedicated to raw food and yoga called Frugis.

(Today is day 134) and it becomes more and more difficult ot stay 100% raw.  I am flying off very easily, yet staying focussed. (It really feels like leaving my body, being aware of what is happening)  I want to keep on doing my job and would like to live normally :0)  Do you have tips and tricks for me please? </p><p><a href="http://www.bikramyoga365days.blogspot.com">www.bikramyoga365days.blogspot.com</a></p><p> </p><p>And... opening the front side of the body was very emotional for me.  Now my knees and ankles are starting to loosen up, as well as my shoulders. Some postures I can not do anymore. Too much pain in the knees. ("You can fight with the Gods but not with your knees " :0)- Bikram)  I think this will pass, trusting the method :0)  Any experiences on this one??  Like to read about it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Kisses,</p><p>Marleen</p><p> </p></div>
