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).

Day by day I find myself drawn towards unprocessed, raw foods - organically, if you will. I am racing cyclist in training, and as the tolerances between what I eat and what I burn become ever so slim, I'm suddenly acutely aware of the quality of the food I eat and the holistic functioning it allows. For someone who - until recently - ate anything, smoked, rarely exercised - I'm stunned and grateful at the capability of the human body to adapt, and it's quite clear that we run better doing what we were designed to do (vigorous exercise) and burning what we were designed to burn (fruits, vegetables and other things that lend themselves to color vision and opposable thumbs). Bottom line: I feel better than ever before, and I'm in the best shape of my life. I cycle several hundred miles a week as I build a base for next season, and I'm sorely (literally) in need of guidance and support as I step up my game. I'm tired of bonking, and want to do this the RIGHT way. I'm also constantly inspired by one of your long-time members, and it's high time I join the discussion directly.

Endurance cycling!!! I'm on a team for next season and building my base - getting ready to do double-century weekends at race-tempo and I need to feed my body the RIGHT way; no high-fructose, quick bonk bars - REAL food, for REAL endurance. You guys know your stuff, and I need all the help I can get!
