Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to the Frugivore Diet. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member).
I am just starting on my LFRW lifestyle and am super excited! I decided to go raw in order to help heal my body from years of disordered eating and, most recently, leaky gut that is wreaking havoc. Just as importantly (or even more so to me), I want to do this for the animals because they deserve to live just like we deserve to! I am not 100% raw yet due to being unable to eat raw green vegetables because of some issues with my lips caused by leaky gut, but as soon as I am able to eat them again, I will be super happy and 100% raw! I can't wait to try all of the awesome raw salad ideas that I've been seeing around here! Just some more about myself...I am a bodybuilder/fitness lover, but haven't been able to workout at my best for a while due to my health, but I am on my way to recover with the LFRV lifestyle. I'm so excited to be on this journey and can't wait to enjoy and thrive the way that we are all meant to!

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:
I'm HCRV already
Are you Connected?
yes i am
My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are...
I love adventure novels as well as ones that are about nature, animals, and the environment as a whole. Action movies are awesome and so are comedies, but I don't have a favorite because there are too many to choose from! Pablo Neruda has to be one of my favorite poets. He is amazingly gifted with his words! As for pastimes, I love anything outdoors and have actually lived on a farm my whole life (horses, dogs, cats, goats, bunnies). I love training in the gym and running as well. Hanging with friends outside is also one of my favorite things to do :)

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
I would love help with understanding how much I need to eat for my goals of being lean with muscle while being happy and energetic at the same time! I come from the 1200-1400 cal/day fitness industry recommendations, including lots of protein, low carbs, etc, and I am scared of gaining fat on the HCRV lifestyle even though everything I have seen points out that the opposite is the case. It just scares me a bit and my anorexic mindset just needs help to be retrained.

For the most part I've been doing great, just the past couple days have been a little rough and had some past negative thinking. But I'm just making sure I'm eating enough now and today I feel really good! Hope you're well today too :)
Hi Alex:) Reading your profile I felt like I had quite a bit in common with you. I've been mostly raw vegan and 801010 for about a month now and vegan for awhile before that! How are you?
Hey there Alex!! Thanks for the friend, pleasure to be indirectly acquainted :)
haha idn u just seem funnyYy :)
Hey there Rawsome fruity chica! :)
Alex, do you know what is causing your problem with dry lips? Going from my experience, I think it is pineapple. Pineapple gives me very dry and cracked lips, even if I only eat a little.
i think ur fUnNyYy :)
Wonderful to hear! Isnt that the very reason were all here, to inspire one another? :) Your story inspires me a TON actually, i've dealt with a lot of the same stuff. Hope all is well and that you're staying fruit strong! Saw it's your birthday also from another comment so have an especially lovely day, you deserve it! :)
