The Frugivore Diet

Newbie here

2015-12-15T07:10:16.000Z

Hi guys !

thanks to someone on the raw till 4 forum I've gotten this link.

I'm so happy that i've found people that have been through thesame as I.

I have Boulemia for about 10years now.

I started the raw till 4 program a month ago.

But yesterday it all went wrong again ( and it hasn't for at least 2months )

I started binguing on bread and salade dressing tomatoes etc..

I felt / feel so terrible about it. Also I have gained weight. ( And i'm normal sized , bmi 25 so.. ) I find it very difficult to pursue than.

but reading all of your succes stories really helps.

so if anyone has any tips for me...?

Weight Gain Advice

2015-06-15T12:50:18.000Z

Hey all!

I am struggling with the increase in weight coming to this lifestyle... I know i have done some irreparable damage to my body, and I know I really need to allow myself to heal, but goodness me it is difficult! I told myself I needed to throw away the scales, but today at the gym I couldnt help but jump on and I was shocked at what I saw... I am only 3 or so months into this lifestyle, and I KNOW it's a long term healing process, but the fact of the matter is I have a diagnosed MENTAL disorder that nearly killed me 3 years ago and it is not going to simply go away overnight! Please, if anybody has experience in managing the thoughts and improving body image and self confidence, please comment below so it can help others like myself.

Hope you are all okay, and sending loves and rainbows your way!

Bulimia has ruined my Digestion! HELP!!

2015-02-23T18:18:14.000Z

I was bulimic - on and off - for about 7 years before I committed to recovery and found HCLF veganism. This lifestyle saved my life but after a year of struggling through recovery my digestion still SUCKS!!!! If I eat literally anything other than fruit I'm stopped up for days, if you know what I mean, and it's totally ruining my life. It feels like I have in no way parted with bulimia to be honest. I'm constantly craving cooked carbs but I'm terrified to eat anything because food still reacts with me so badly. It is literally a daily battle in my head and I feel like I'm always starving if I only eat fruit (trust me I try to eat "enough"). I don't know what to do. Everyone talks about how recovery is so worth it but after a year of just pushing through and seeing no improvement I'm really losing hope and I don't know what to do any more. I'm tired of wishing I had a way to just "give up".

Has anyone else been through anything like this?

I should add that, yes, I drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, practice proper food combining, etc. I do it all to the letter but I'm not improving at all.

Digestive Issues coming from ED?

2014-07-27T23:23:48.000Z

Has anyone else experienced digestive issues initially coming onto this lifestyle?

Im coming from anorexia and bulimia, and have found my digestion and elimination is all over the place, sometimes it seems regular but then ill get cramping boating and won't be able to 'go' for about a day.

If anyone can offer any advice or suggestions it would be appreciated :)

About Freelee's skinny body

2014-06-25T12:44:20.000Z

Freelee has got the "body of my dreams".

But when I see other people who healed anorexia, bulimia or other eating disorders, they don't have this same skinny and muscular body. They seem "too fat" to me.

What do you think of it? Do you think anyone can be as skinny as Freelee is, and be healthy at the same time, without any eating disorders ?

Body change and body dysmorphia

2014-06-18T12:59:56.000Z

I still have bulimic tendencies and BED, and body dysmorphia isnt helping but is anyone having a trouble time with some of the body changes?

Loss of appetite when it really counts...

2014-06-11T18:56:52.000Z

I always thought I had an over active appetite and that's why I always felt "hungry". Then I saw the difference between the way would eat (devour) say, a veggie burger (fatty/salty/processed foods) as opposed to the way I would pick at a bowl of sliced banana or salad. I'm coming to the realization that I have a mental addiction to these toxic foods and sometimes I can control myself and sometimes I can't. I have a history of binging and purging but I got the purging under control now. I know that does me even more damage than eating garbage alone. I've heard people say that this lifestyle has cured their E.D.s but I'm not quite sure how to work with mine. I have little to no appetite when it comes to eating the right things so I just go without eating until I get so hungry my cravings get out of hand. I don't know what to do. I keep taking two steps forward and two steps back again. I don't know what to do with myself other than to keep trying and not beating myself up about it...

Can't stop eating...

2014-04-30T09:06:14.000Z

Hi!

I started this lifestyle for about 1,5 month ago. But I struggle with inability to think about anything else than eating all the time! This really is a stuggle because it affects my everyday life :( I don't want to see people or friends, or travel, or be anywhere but home for a longer period of time because I'm afraid that I'll get hungry or won't be able to eat. To eat is comforting for me, and I'm getting really upset with myself for eating somewhere between 6-10 times a day.

It's not that I eat to few calories, because I'm pretty sure I eat about 3000-5000 kcal a day... These last days I've gone completely raw (gained about 3-4 kg when bingeing out on rice, pasta and bread for a few weeks...)

A normal day for me would be:

Waking up aroung 6 am - drinking smoothie made of 7-10 bananas and 6-15 dates (Total of 1000-1500 kcal)
Then a snack around 8 am - 6 apples, or 7 bananas... (at least 500 kcal!)
Lunch at 11 am would be more fruit, maybe veggies too, often another banana-date smoothie (at least 1000 kcal)
Then a snack again around 2 pm and again at 4 pm, several fruits, (at least 500 kcal each..)
Dinner would be a huge bowl of zucchini noodles with mashed tomatoes, pumpkin, lettuce and maybe some fruit too.
Then a night snack around 8 pm, usually 3-5 bananas. (at least 300 kcal)

I feel very uncomfortable in my now-heavier body, and sad that I can't stop eating and/or thinking about eating all the time, it really stressed me out a lot! So much that I even hurt myself on purpose sometimes to handle the stress..

Iv'e had anorexia in the past (for about 3 years ago) and weighted 46 kg the summer 2011, but then gained 21 kg the year after when I got in recovery.. In the past - before my anorexia - I suffered from binge eating as well, it's like an addiction - a comforting addiction and I can't cope!!

I eat even though I'm not even hungry. I may be bored or sad, but I can't handle the pain caused by gaining weight and now I really want some help how to handle binge eating...

Please help... :(

help/support needed urgently!!

2014-01-03T02:39:44.000Z

Hi fellow raw vegans,I really need some help! I've been stuck for 7 years with really bad OCD which tells me I need to restrict calories and exercise compulsively. I am now 21 and it's really hard for me to function normally a lot of the time. I really need someone who might have had any kind of similar experience to support me and help me get my life back on track.

Fear of Weight Gain

2013-04-06T19:49:47.000Z

Has anyone experienced this? Dealt with it? Moved forward? Would love to hear some inspiration.

Feeling so lost ... where to start with recovery?

2013-03-17T20:38:05.000Z

This is an honest cry from the core of me to all of you. I apologize because I have asked for help on 30BAD before, but usually I have had some kind of preconceptions that I don't want to let go of. That stubbornness has not helped me, so now I am asking with an open mind and a desperate heart. This post MAY be triggering, so please don't read it if you feel it could harm you!

I have had chronic depression for at least 12 years and disordered eating (on and off) for 10. I've also been an ethical vegan for 10 years and it's probably THE most important thing that has helped me to be healthy at all. But the past 2 years of bulimia have worn me down a lot, and I keep slipping out of even my many attempts to be LFRV, back into old addictions. Sometimes I can follow it for a few weeks at a time, but then I still sabotage myself again. I am at a "healthy" weight according to BMI, but I carry a lot of fat which you'd never see on a long-term fruit eater. I want more muscle to replace some of that blubber, if I can just bring myself to start exercising again. My doctor warned me of rotten teeth, stomach & throat cancers, osteoporosis ... I cannot believe I am still doing this to myself. I am so ashamed.

It's an addiction and I want to beat it. I can't give up because life is so beautiful, I KNOW that, I just can't feel it right now. For the times I can stick to all or mostly fruit, those have been some of the most truly happy times in my life. I know it's the key to changing my life for the better. My ED doctor who is quite an expert, but sooo expensive, is very supportive of high-raw diets and even veganism but he thinks I also need to eat beans and other higher-protein or high fat foods. If I can recover as a fruitarian and without paying so much, I want to do it. Oh yeah, and he's a coffee addict himself, so he probably can't help me beat MY coffee addiction! :P

So - what do you think are the main steps toward recovery on this lifestyle? I know I need to eat enough, but even when I get 2500 or more calories I often feel prone to binging. I guess it's just something I'll have to grit my teeth and get through, but I'd love to hear how you overcame it. What else? I wrack my brains every moment I'm awake. What should I do, what should I do, what should I do? ... I guess after so long I have lost confidence in myself.

I am planning to start Banana Island in a couple days when my new box of nanners gets ripe. That might help my acne-covered skin, low energy, tired digestion, and my salt-fat-sugar addicted taste buds. I'd love to do it for 2 full weeks, with alternating days of adding spinach and lettuce at dinner.

If only I can stay strong and determined enough to finally succeed, I know the fruity life with true purpose will be worth it. Please tell me anything, whether gentle love or tough love, that you think I might need to hear. Thank you so much, namaste, I love and respect this community so much and wish to be worthy of belonging to it.

!2 step solution with raw

2012-09-27T18:02:03.000Z

Okay....so I didn't get a single response to my callout for help via mentorship, lol. Guess that's not such a popular thing.

Can anyone share any success with using the 12 steps to go [and stay] raw? when I was 100% raw is about the only time I can remember any respite from this ED

Thanks for sharing, if anyone's out there....

Mentor Request

2012-09-26T16:52:47.000Z

Hi There

Ive had an eating disorder for about as long as I can remember. Restriction with binge periods. I went about 18 years before I was so tired of being sick I couldn't take it anymore. On the outside, I was fully functioning, but inside, I was dying.

The closest I have ever come to recovery was through 80-10-10, but even then I've had my lapses. Any medical help that I sought . . . . people in this community think Im insnace when I try to describe my thinking and behaviour patterns. They think I'm insane and unhealthy just for being sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan! So how can I ever follow the advice of someone who's belief system is so different from mine.

I know two things for certain: spirituality and RAW are key components to my recovery. But I could use some help. Would anyone who has recovered be willing to share their experiences with me? Or to even buddy up as a mentor? I'd be truly grateful.

If you could leave an email, Ill happily contact you ASAP.

Warmly,

I'm born again !!!

2012-07-13T18:36:22.000Z

I thought it would be useful that I put it here too so people interested can see it !

http://www.30bananasaday.com/forum/topics/i-m-born-again-recovering-from-a-severe-eating-disorder

I'm eating more. Today, I've eaten more then I thought I could, and I feel incredible ! I have full of energy !!!

I'm overcoming this eating disorder. I am putting my trust in this lifestyle; Harley finally convinced me !!! :P

I feel great and I'm thinking a lot lot more clearly.

And if I spend too much time on too little fuel, I feel that the obsessions are coming back up.

So... I think that consistency helps, and makes it easier...

16 bulimic years

2012-07-10T13:29:13.000Z

It is with fear and trepidation that I post, but, I am making myself to try and gain some support, because all of you seem like such nice people.....thankyounfor your stories!!I have been on and off. Bulimia since my teens.....funny, I started going a bit mental when caffeine and sugar entered my life after a clean upbringing of healthy food. don't know why I started to obsess, I just did. I felt pressure to be thin and I still do, although I know it is only imagined.I have tried lfrv for four months and in this time I have known a real joy, although still bingeing and purging almost every day. the most shitty bit is the hiding of it all, my family thinks I am healed.when I go off coffee, tremendous things happen, and I am the person I want to be, minus the binge purge scenario. it's so private and shameful, because it goes against everything natural and pro life that I stand for.My goal is to get back to the me that I don't know but can see shining through. my goal is to love and cherish my children more, my goal is to love the world more, my goal is to be more athletic without being obsessed, to drop the flab, and see a smiling radiant face in the mirror. my goal is to truthfully say I'm vegan, as I still binge on non vegan foods.I am currently a healthy weight, I don't know what exactly.I know I will pull through this, but I need to do it now before my kids get older and before I feel I have wasted half my life on this obsession. sometimes I want a personal assistant to yell at me when I begin to overeat, hold my hands behind my back, and clamp my mouth shut.I feel that lfrv is quite possibly my last chance and I still feel the social thing is the hardest. us bulimics have beat ourselves down so so so much that itis hard to stand up for what we believe in. I am currently in Indonesia, have been off the wagon big time, put on a bit of flab, and feel crappy. coffee is a nasty catalyst for me...I would so appreciate some personal support, I need my butt kicked to reform me back to the lfrv beauty that I become.You are all beautiful and I offer my support in going the full way, perhaps for some the only way, and stay there!!

Feeling Worthy?

2012-06-30T15:05:45.000Z

Hi everyone! One of the things I struggle with the most, is feeling worthy to eat all of this delicious food. I know that sounds ridiculous! But I feel like I don't deserve this amazing food. This feeling doesn't happen all the time, and for the majority of the time I feel great! But every once in a while, it starts to creep in, and it kind of makes me want to restrict my calories. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks!

look at my healthy thighs !

2012-06-13T13:25:24.000Z

I was baffled when I took a look at my old pictures. now Im slowly realizing how skinny I was.

I discovered this old picture of my thighs from one of the evenings last year where my mind was basically 'bullying' my body, criticizing my lack of character for still having fat on my inner thighs.

NOW I can see how wrong I was; I just took a new picture, and compared it the old picture, and take a look at this y'all:

july 2011 46kgs ----> july 2012 55kgs

Im litterally clapping my hands when I look at this, cause its just so crystal clear how much better I look now. and I had never thought that I would feel this way at a bmi of 19 !! now, I know it's not a high bmi, but in an anorexic world it is!!

WOHOO - does any of you other gal's have pictures of your better and healthier self ?

Can LFRV replace "normal" therapies?

2012-06-12T09:55:11.000Z

My bulimia has caused me so much pain in the 1 year+ I've had it, in every area of my life.

I'm a long-term ethical vegan (over 9 years), but about six weeks ago I discovered 811/30BaD and on an ideological level it really clicks with me. I've been trying to adopt this diet, but I always crack and binge on fatty cooked (though still vegan) food. I want to believe it's just the need for fruit sugar, but I can't ignore the emotional factors which I feel are equally crippling. So ...I would love to hear, from anyone who's experienced this, if adopting a high carb raw (or transitional, partly cooked?) vegan lifestyle can possibly replace direct treatment for ED. I'm chubby, out of shape and also have chronic depression. I feel so lost and hopeless right now.

(Unfortunately not much in the way of treatment is currently available to me, both in my area and on a student's budget. Plus, with a long history of disordered eating, I have heard it all from counsellors and they've never truly helped me. Whatever recovering I've done has been necessarily on my own.)

Thank you for any replies. Peace and love.

Wanting to go back to anorexia....

2012-06-04T22:23:38.000Z

At 5'4.5 and ~110 pounds, I'm considered a "healthy weight" but I DESPERATELY want to go back to be at least 100 pounds, but preferably my lowest, 92 pounds.

Lately I've been looking at old images of me at 100 lbs and I looked so GOOD. Flat stomach, collar bones, thin thighs. Here's a photo (I'm the one in the white tank):

I(the girl next to me, in the pink-orange top, is my friend, who, at the time weighed 87 lbs and was fighting anorexia, too)

But look at how PERFECT my figure looks... I miss that body so much.

I've been eating at least 2000 kcal a day, trying to recover, and everything I gain goes right to my stomach now. I Can't stand it.

Ironically, as I 'recover' my eating disorder seems worse. Sure, I'm actually eating, but the constant thoughts of food and weight impede my brain more than ever. When I was restricting so much I never really thought about food that often, my thoughts didn't even seem disordered. I was happy and felt healthy. Now I'm not very happy, despite all these carb cals. I know how damaging anorexia is to the body, but I can't help but to have these thoughts and feelings. I miss my eating disorder.

Please help....

What make it so hard to resist a binge?

2012-03-13T05:44:43.000Z

I haven't really binged much since starting this lifestyle. It's happened like 3 or 4 times this year, which is good compared to the end of last year.

But it kind of sneaks up on you.

Why can some people just walk away from flavors they enjoy and others get obsessed over it?

Every single time you go into a binge you ask yourself "Am I really doing this? Am I really?" and it seems the answer is always YES.

Why can't you just walk away? Is it because you love yourself less than most people?

Goodbye Mr. ED

2012-02-02T13:45:42.000Z

Hey so I wanted to share this since we are all in this battle against those yucky eating disorders that suck the life out of us.

Lately I've been struggling BIG TIME with my eating disorder. More consistently than I have in quite some time. Its like it has come back with a vengance in the last several months, especially when I started on my this LFRV journey. Maybe its holding on and making its last violent battle against me before I overcome it for good (I am making myself think positive!) Or maybe I've been afraid to let go and subconciously am holding onto it will all my might, causing me to act out with my e.d. behaviors more than usual. Maybe I just need to say goodbye.

So, I came across this book online called Goodbye Ed, Hello Me by Jenni Schaefer. I haven't read it because I just found about it. But its about treating your e.d. like a relationship not a condition.

I think when we make it out to be a condition, It can seem hopeless to overcome. So I got the idea to write a letter to ED, as if it were a friend, or a boyfriend...a toxic one.

I have had a toxic friend in my life, and once that friendship was cut off, a huge burden was lifted. I felt free and not weighted down. It was a little sad at first, but later, I felt so much better.

Well, ED is a toxic friend in my life. And I say "friend" because often time my eating disorder has provided me comfort, or a "way of escape". Not only is it a toxic relationship, but it is my excuse to put toxic foods in my body. I can't keep using ED as an excuse!

So, I decided to say goodbye. I wrote a letter to ED, as if it was person, and cut the relationship off. It felt really good! It felt freeing. I told ED the pain "he" has caused me, the hurt, and the fear. I told ED I didn't need "him" anymore and wanted "him" out of my life for good.

So if you are struggling...give this at try. Write a letter. Pour out your feelings. And hopefully it will help you take at least one step more towards freedom. :)

Love and Light,

Peaches

My epiphany.

2012-01-18T21:27:51.000Z

I posted this as a blog, but wanted to post it here hoping for any extra feed back :) Sorry its so long...

Last night I had and epiphany.

Yes, I think I had an epiphany. Definition = sudden realization: a sudden intuitive leap of understanding. I am always trying to get myself to suddenly realize things on a deeper level, so that I can change my ways or change my thinking patterns. Of course, I am continually realizing that in most cases in life, changing my ways and changing my thinking takes time and hard work. I can't just make myself "get" it. It takes patience and practice. It takes self-forgiveness and acceptance. It takes seeing things the way they really are and admitting my weaknesses.

But sometimes, we have those sudden realizations that may change us for the better depending on what we do with it. Truly, I believe that when I have those realizations, it is an act of God. Because they are realizations not just of the mind, but deep down in the heart and soul.

I realized that I have such black and white thinking when it comes to food. Yet, when I give myself the freedom to choose, I will choose what I truly want to eat. And those are things that I know are healthy for my body: whole, fresh, ripe, unprocessed, plant foods.

My eating disorder has been such an on and off battle for so much of my life. Recently, in December I had a major downfall that lasted for weeks. Before that, I was struggling for months binging on and off sometimes for weeks at a time. I am determined not to look back and to press on looking foward, focusing on the present moment. Looking back robs me of the present and of good things for my future.

However, last night I was looking back, not necessarily focusing on my guilt, but I was seeing how I feel so amazingly better when I eat plenty of fruits and greens. I was thinking about why I had fallen into such a whirlwind of bad eating behavior for so many months. There are many reasons, guilt being one of them (which I am working on letting go of guilt), but there was one that stuck out. One reason that I think I have always known, it is so simple, but I think last night I really realized it. Or at least I hope I did. That reason was that I've been undereating when I eat "healthy" (according to my self-made standards). I tell myself that I have freedom to eat, but looking back, I know I was still stuck in restriction. So anytime I went outside the lines of eating reasonably "healthy", I would feel the need to just give up and binge insead of just allowing myself to fill up on more of what I was having until I was truly satisfied. But here's the thing, when I would binge, it had to be on junk food, food that I would normally never eat (not when I was eating "normally"). I couldn't let myself binge on healthier food, of maybe food that my body was really craving. It had to be "bad" food, full of fat and sugar. Food that was destructive for my health. (I have been working on why I do this, and learning to want to care for myself and loving myself).

So my "healthy" eating vs my "binge" eating is totally black and white, which I've realized for a long time. But last night I think I had a deeper understanding. I admitted to myself that this is the way I think and this way is wrong.

If I allow myself total freedom, then I won't feel the need to binge if I eat a little (or alot) more than what I think I need to be eating (under a restrictive state of mind). And even if I do binge, I will binge on what I really want, which is not junk food and fatty foods, it will be what my body truly is craving. And knowing myself, I truly have always loved and craved fruit. I have truly enjoyed eating veggies and fruits since my late teens. I've always told people I could live on fruits and veggies and would love to live where there was a garden with an abundance of them.

So why not just give myself the freedom to eat and eat and eat what I really want? If I do that I won't go after the things I go for when I think I need to binge because I've eaten out of my "healthy food" guidelines (which I think somehow got instilled in my mind without me even really knowing it).

That is what is so awesome about this lifestyle. I can eat in abundance. I can eat what I love. I can enjoy eating. I don't have to feel guilty about eating alot. I can eat until I am full. I am learning to listen to my body. My body will find its natrual weight. It will find its place of happiness and comfort. My body will adjust in time.

Right now I just have to focus on the present, care for myself, and be kind to myself even if I stumble.

I know I cannot be perfect. But I know I can be better and better. If I don't let guilt get in the way, I can be free. It takes time, practice, and patience with myself. I will slip up here and there, but as long as I focus on progress and not failutre, my slip ups will be less and less. Guilt and looking back is what causes me to get stuck and to spiral downward. I think freedom comes when I understand(through action) that when I eat something I think I shouldn't have, I can stop, change direction, and move on, rather than thinking I'm a failure and might as well punish myself by eating junk. That is key to serious progress.

Well, I will stop rambling now. I know this is a bit deep and maybe even confusing. Reading back over it was a little rough as I wonder if I'm even making total sense. lol :) Sometimes I think too much and I prefer when I am more simple. It helps me stay alot more mellow and calm. But I do sometimes really think through things, wanting to understand, and writing it out always helps. It is nice to have the community here so that I can get feed back or even just know that people are on the other side of this, hearing me out. So thanks for reading.

I know many of you have stuggled or are struggling with eating issues as well. So hopefully my thoughts out loud can help you out as well and look at how your ways of thinking may be sabotaging your progress. Maybe you have insights that will help me. I know I have already read threads on here that have helped me out alot. Just knowing that others relate is nice.

Here's to not looking back and focusing on our progress.

And here's to eating in abundance! Enjoy those sweet juicy fruits!! :)

Thanks for reading,

Peaches

ED treatment and an 811 raw vegan lifestyle..

2012-01-13T21:36:22.000Z

Has anyone else been through treatment after going raw? I dont know how to cope. I hear the dietician and want to scream IDIOT IDIOT- you dont know anything about nutrition!

dealing with bloated tummy

2011-11-19T10:52:59.000Z

In the past I have suffered from an eating disorder, and therefore am extremely sensitive to the idea of having a full stomach as you tummy would protrude. I know that this is an unrational "fear", but do you know any ways to help get over this?

Many Thank,

Progress and keeping track with 811

2010-09-16T16:40:31.000Z

Here we can keep track and post our progress and difficulties. We're here for each other and we can do this. Thousands before us have been successful, including freelee, and now its our turn. :)

We can use 811 to kick the butt of our binge/purge/starve habits.to live our dharma--our life purpose.
And its no big deal, this is just how we live our lives, eating enough fruit and being slim easily and happily. It takes 21 days to create a new habit, and 30 solid days will give a month of satisfaction from completion.

I'm curious. Let's get to know each other. :)

What is the nature of your struggle with food and your body?

How long have you been struggling?

How did you find lfrv as a possible solution?

Have you transitioned to lfrv or are you still working on it (if so, for how long)?

What did you try before lfrv?

What is your current goal for food intake?

What are you hoping to get from lfrv?

What is easiest / most enjoyable about being lfrv?

What is the most challenging?
