I've been vegetarian since 1987, and have been eating mostly fruit during the day for the past decade or more because I would get horrible low blood sugar crashes after eating grains. Fruit was the only thing that made me feel really good and didn't trigger hypoglycemia. I've been experimenting with 80/10/10 for about five years or more, but never followed for more than a week or two, mainly due to undereating and cooked food cravings.
I have been 100% LFRV since June 2011 and am constantly experiencing HIGH ENERGY, clear mind, happiness - all of the time, with no more blood sugar crashes! My emotional state is balanced and calm, I am much more present and in the moment, and able to concentrate while doing my spiritual practices.
Though I tried to follow this diet many times over the past five years, I would usually give in to cooked food cravings about a week or two later. This time, once I hit the three week mark, something shifted and it was like all the detox symptoms and cravings disappeared.
The difference in the way I feel on LFRV and the way I felt when eating cooked is tremendous. I used to suffer from severe hypoglycemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, headaches, depression, irritability, heart palpitations, gallbladder/liver pain. But all of these symptoms have disappeared simply by changing my diet.
The benefits so far (one month raw):
Sleeping soundly
High energy with NO "crashes" at all, no fatigue ever!
Happy
More social
Much more centered and grounded - in the moment
Spiritual practices are much more effective - feel connected
No more irritability, anger, and other intense emotional reactions
Increased self-esteem
Mentally balanced and peaceful
The most noticable difference by far is the consistent ENERGY! I can hardly believe it. It's like I didn't even know what true health was until now - like something was missing from my life for 42 years....and now that I've found it, I feel like shouting it from the rooftops! I used to get tired just from climbing stairs, and now, I want to RUN everywhere, it's remarkable! A miracle!

Hey Kira!
I'm looking to set up a fruit business of sorts for the summer and am looking to see if anyone would be interested.
I'm thinking of setting up weekly or bi-weekly boxes so that you would get a big box of fruit each week or every two weeks. This would give you more variety and a lot of options. Also, anyone who gets the weekly box will also be able to buy boxes of wholesale fruit through me if they want--for example a box of mamey sapote or a box of bananas. But the weekly box I send out will kind of be like a CSA thing-but will be catered to your own individual likes and dislikes and the content of the weekly set box will be flexible.
WHat do you tihnk? Please let me know as soon as you can!
Thanks!
