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 currently doing the HCRV diet and loving it. I stumbled upon Megan Elizabeth´s videos a while back, which I found fascinating and very informative. Before this I had only read Ani Phyo and a few others, but I did not even realize there were subcategories within the raw diet. I felt heavy and weighed down on the high fat raw diet, though I have lost a lot of weight. I was also tired constantly, which confused me as I had always heard the diet makes one feel more energetic. I tried the high fruit/low fat diet right away, and I felt better immediately. I have energy now throughout the day, and I also don´t have as many cravings for other foods like I did on the higher fat raw diet! Awesome. The only problem is that my husband, friends, family and colleagues all eat a ´normal´diet of cooked foods, and so I have no support and am on my own. On an added note, I was macrobiotic for 7 years before discovering raw food. In case you didn´t already know, macrobiotics and raw foodists are rivals, and the viewpoints could not be more different. I was always convinced that we should not be eating much fruit, drinking too many liquids, should only eat seasonally, should eat mostly whole grains... I believed this for years! But I am absolutely convinced now that HCRV is the way to go and feels much lighter on the body than macrobiotics. I actually want to write a book eventually on my experiences with both diets, and what I found to be the differences. I am in the process of getting my bachelor of science in holistic nutrition, and will also be a certified yoga instructor after next September.

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?

I am transitioning into a HCRV lifestyle, but am having trouble sticking with it 100% since I have absolutely no support in Germany, and all my friends think I´m crazy. I know it would help me to get involved with this community, and to feel some support by meeting others who think like me!
