nope Gina...Free told me,they went through 30kgs between them,in one day....

guess so,each to their own!

Dont worryGina- Free,can hold her own veeeeeeeeeeeery nicely..have shared many a fruity meal with her...shes awesome!bet she'd give H a run for his money with fruit snarfing....

only time he gets to snarf it,is when i called the other day,and was talking to Free....bet he saw an opportunity then!lol mwahh harr harrr

I know that Freelea completely cleared up her candida on a high fruit diet. It's in the journal section somewhere. She did a fruit fast. Can't remember which fruit though! It might pay to search it out.

xoxoxo

It was mango - she did about 2 weeks I think. Search for 'my trip to mango island' or something along those lines! 

one thing to succeed on 100% raw is to leave the 'overeating guilt' at the door when it comes to fresh fruits..

most people would look sideways at you if you said you eat 5 banana for lunch..5 BANANAS! oh my thats a lot of fruit!..is the usual reply..you should see the faces when i tell em i can down 28 med/large bananas in a sitting when i need to carb up..

the average large ripe banana is roughly 100cals. so we have a meal of 5x100 =500. a pretty small meal since the average joe and jane should eat between 2000 -2500 calories a day if they are sedentary..but we dont promote sedentary lifestyle..so the calorie intake bumps up according to exercise.

both free and i are athletes. i rode just over 200km today..approx 4497calories according to the polar heart rate monitor..so slap 4500 onto 2500 for someone my weight and gender and we have 7000calories..thats 70 large bananas...but ive only eaten 400g of sultanas today..thats about 1000calories..so ive got another 6000 to go..thats A LOT fruit feast'n if i dont want to start using body fat as fuel...and want to replenish my carbs so im no one week wonder on the bike..

getting back to the rockmelon fest..
approx 30kg. what is the amount of flesh recovery? about 50%. larger rockmelons you get more flesh recovery. small ones..not as much. (i put the compost out 3 times that day..so i got to feel each load) so lets give an average of 50% being 100% rocky. now we are left with 15kg.

how many calories average per kg of rocky flesh? about 340.
340 x 15 = 5100..and thats between 2 hungry athlete mouths..
5100 divided by 2..thats only 2550 measly calories..no wonder we were reaching for the honey murcotts to juice in the evening..

and if it was 30kg of flesh recovery..thats still only 5100 calories EACH...ive earned 7000 today....

so quickly we see that conventional thinking leads to conventional results..
sure one can over eat on fresh fruit...but its hard..and the times i see people do it..its usually cos they ate mushrooms or melon after mangoes or something...then they blame the fruit..but its not the fruits...but rather the person eating combo abombo's with fruit or eating a fruit that they know doesnt work for them..ie mango's..some people just can digest em as good as other fruits... i know free doesnt do that well on em. and melon and bananas are a much better fruit for her.

or people eat fruit after training but they havent drunk water before the fruit meal..now they are putting sugar into a dehydrated system...so digestion is impaired from the get go...
regardless of what we are eating..watermelon, kfc or weetbix with sand..you gotta drink straight away after training..even if its snowing..thats just fact in the world of athletics..

its never wrong to do the right thing...and its great that people are questioning things..i love to break it down and dispel the myths about mother natures most perfect food for humans..fruits that you love and that love you back..

if you wanna reach your athletic potential or just stay raw..eating sufficient fruit takes time to learn and to get over what society says about it....

im into the high octane lifestyle. my mates call me up and say 'you wanna punch out 200k tommorrow?' im always up for it..unless im running a marathon or something...but ive done a marathon 9 hours after placing 2nd in the 24 hour state champs..and it wasnt on fruit rations i tell you..

so if you train small..eat small, you train big, eat big...its simple as that.

and in regards to moderation? correct! everything in moderation..ESPECIALLY moderation...

i make sure i get enough of what i need to live life at the fullest. not too much, not too little..'ENOUGH' is the right amount for any given individual..
live moderately?...lol!

wow! i'm no athlete but thanks for your post.
i am fairly new to raw and on the 6th day of no 'fats' UHHHHH. good and bad at the moment. but getting into the swing of it. It is good to hear you mention the automatic response to "overeating fruit" that myself and many have. i feel better realising i just need to eat heaps more food on this diet. I was so shocked to find myself eating about $30 of fruit and veg a day! and my chook bucket (s!) need emping daily!

I was dizzy for some time but since eating more and regularly i feel better. it is hard because i dont really have the appitite i had on cooked food, i can take it or leave it these days, but to the jeopardy of brain funtion recently.

So bring it on!!!!!!!! YUM!
