Re: MC+raw food = weight loss?

several reasons:

Main reason is I was trying to starve the little yeasties that had gotten out of hand, and fruit is sugar.

Many Fruits, esp. tropical, can really stress the body, kidneys and liver and even create more mucous (oranges and bananas especially). Green apples have a nice PH balance plus help to dissolve gallbladder stones, and are a great source of fiber, so I eat one of those a day. Apple pie or apple crisp are two of my "blameless desserts." :)

Fruit, when combined with foods, really muck them up and wreak havoc with your digestion.

To this day I only eat melon on rare occasions, and always by itself, never in combination with other foods. I tend to only eat green apples, drink green grape juice occasionally, and cranberry juice as a favor to my urinary system every now and again.
