Re: Message for Natway... candida high fruit diet..

Hi David,

If you pm me your email address I can send you the actual book in pdf format, so you can get all info from the direct source!

Just quickly in answer to your fructose worry before, have a look at this explanation:

When I started I had my rocky moments because I didn't understand the issue of calories- I thought eating berries and bananas is same thing, so didn't understand why I get hungry so fast. I see that Natway's constant reminders to 'eat enough' and to 'keep a food log' are met with resentment around here, but interestingly enough- this is precisely where majority of people go wrong, and than blame the lifestyle their on.

Standard calorie requirements for males, females, and different activity levels are created for a reason, so we have some kind of objective guideline to go by- as much as people think they have a sense what 'enough' is- trust me, majority of people don't! Over the years, I've seen grown adult males trying to survive on 1500, 2000 cal a day, running themselves to the ground and than deciding being vegetarian/vegan is somewhat 'deficient' so they go back to eating meat. Ironically, they feel better when they do, because meat is calorically dense, so they finally getting enough food in! You get the idea.

So yeah, learning about what plant foods are calorically dense will remove the underrating problem. In terms of fruit things like bananas, mangoes, pineapples etc are 'staples' (just like potatoes and rice are for cooked crew) I saw your typical smoothie you posted below and that's about 500 cal- I'm quite short, female, size 6 here in the UK and eat 1000 cal per meal.

At first it can be challenging to eat enough fruit, because volume wise it seems like a lot of food! But after a while 9-10 banana smoothie for breakfast is a 'norm'.

I'm a rock climber and a runner, plus my job requires substantial physical strength - so I have the opportunity daily to test the lifestyle in real terms. What I found the most amazing so far is the recovery time- there are days I work 15hrs a day moving heavy equipment around all day, but next day I'm able to go climbing for the whole day and squeeze an hour long run before and after. It seems the longer I'm doing it I'm becoming like a fierce machinery that never gets tired :) I don't do anything different on heavy activity days, just fruit all day and huge salad in the evening. It needs to be said I'm not striving to be 100% at all times, there are moments where for example I'm travelling or working in the middle of nowhere and not always I'm able to bring my supplies. I just choose the best for the moment, but still keeping the 80/10/10 ratio (a bit of rice with veggies on occasion will not cause issues!)

I went cold turkey overnight, but I'm like that if something resonates with me. In general, watching other people, good suggestion is to go slow. Start from fruity breakfast for example and do that for a bit, then add fruity lunch, and then the rest. My best friend started recently mixing raw and cooked 80/10/10 and she already noticed great improvements in energy level etc

In terms of protein- long subject and I'm about to go out, so for the time being a quick video from Tim van Orden (professional runner) about the topic

Also, check out for some good info in general my friend long term 80/10/10er Mike Arnstein, ultra marathon runner (he's like a human machine! incredible endurance level)
