Re: Message for Natway... candida high fruit diet..
Well, he's quite a character. The idea that someone can get fat off of fruit is pretty far fetched though. He does actually go thru some of his medical records which helps but I don't know if it's fair to assume all of it is based on his diet. Some of it has to be based on lifestyle and activity. Coming in first in the ride is a huge accomplishment, I think what is even more impressive to me is the diet that he used to do it with.
My main question is sustenence. What happens when you get hungry? You just keep on eating bananas or mangos until you are full? Anytime I have tried to rely of fruit as an energy source it is burned off in 20 minutes. A typical fruit smoothie would be 2 apples, 2 oranges 2-3 bananas, 1/2 cup of blueberries and chunks of pineapple. In half hour I have to eat something. How do you get around that? When I didn't my adrenals would crash, particularly in the morning. Even relying on avocados maybe a little longer but still there never was enough there to get me past the hour? The worst part is the morning, if I tried that and then did sometype of exercise, however small it was, the energy was just used up.
What site would you recommend to learn more about the diet? Freelee's boyfriends page on youtube? What's his alias.
I asked alot of questions in the previous post but if I could get a guys perspective that would help. What happens when you exercise hard and need something to rebuild your muscles? What food do you eat to help take you out of food cravings? Are the alterations to the diet that has helped you? Do you frequently get more or less sick? Do you have more mental clarity from this type of diet? Do you supplement with b12?
The amino acids brings up some questions. There are essential amino acids that the body is required to have. Vitamins and minerals can catalyse enzymes all day long but amino acids are the building blocks of those enyzmes and cells. Some of the enzymes are prolific throughout the body. I guess if you knew of a site that could help answer those questions that would be great.
Thanks.
