I discovered David Wolfe years ago and went raw, but it was quite a struggle. I had raw days and cooked days, but I lost a lot of weight and my health was much improved. I was tangentially part of a raw food community in San Diego but the community changed. People started telling me I was eating too many bananas and then David Wolfe started advocating wild greens and I went back to my terrible habits, worse than the SAD because I consumed a lot of sugar. I was looking for a way to get back to raw and googled "David Wolfe fruit" to see if maybe he went back to his original philosophy and I stumbled on the video "Why is David Wolfe fat"? I followed some links, watched a few other videos, and the information validated my feeling that fruitarianism is probably the best way to go. It also validated my suspicion that raw cacao is not really the best thing, and explained why my previous attempts to go back to raw failed -- I was eating cacao shakes and other desserts. Let's face it, that stuff might be better for you than Baskin Robbins or a Snickers bar, but it is just a different form of addiction. The information is also in synch with what I have identified as my major problem with staying raw -- I do not consume enough food to sustain me, then I turn to the traditional crap. I am very excited to learn about people who advocate fruit and hear about their experiences.

Hello Amelia, A few weeks ago you mentioned wanting to talk about one of my comments about alcoholism, AA and/or OA, but we never got together. My fault. My life is very unmanageable. Should we try again?

Thank you for friendship, Amelia; and for inspiring comments on my page. I agree hundred percent with all that you have written in your profile, and it's really inspiring to learn from your experience. Love and Light. Keep in touch!!
Thanks Love. I appreciate you.
I miss you, too. I've been missing in action again. I went off the diet. Its hard for me not to be transparent and I didn't want to be bringing anyone down in here. So, I'm back on. This is day 3 or 4. I'm feeling good again!
Hi Amelia!
Thanks for the friend add! They can try to jump down my throat all they want, but I don't think they'll get far- I'm too full of mangoes! ;) I love Santa Monica. My grandma lives in the San Fernando valley, and I always make it a point to visit Santa Monica when I visit. Lucky you to live there!
Have a beautiful day!

Oh, I went to this wonderful workshop on angels once with a world renowned angel channel. She said St. Louis was the heart chakra of the world. I think it's probably true.
Hey Amelia, thanks for the friend request :) yeah, I had psoriasis mainly on my hands for about 12 years. It took me a couple of years of doing very high raw to finally transition into 100% raw. During the time that I was mostly, but not fully raw, the psoriasis persisted. but when I took the leap into 100% LFRV, it just went away.
Hi Amelia! Thanks for adding me as a friend. Yes, I can´t bear hearing people criticizing fat people. I have been overweight, and it was not because I ate too much! It was sick and overweight, and I had to undereat in order not to be fatter. It was hell. I know lots of people who went through the same. Hearing skinny people who can eat all the want criticize fat people is just unbereable to me!
