nspanky Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'm new to all this, so bear with me. I eat 6 meals a day i'm about 75% raw vegan. In between meals i eat just fruit. My meals consist of raw veggies and nuts, amounts vary depending on what recipe i have made. If i'm hungry in between should i just eat more fruit? More nuts? How many nuts is okay? I am 30 yr old female, 130lbs and i don't want to get fat!!! Do i just have to experiment with portions and watch and see what happens? Has anyone gained weight by eating raw? By the way i am in this for the amazing health benefits not to lose weight but not to gain weight either...Confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yes I've been there... and you're not alone either nuts are really high in fat..I don't eat them.. If I do I eat very little.If you do eat them then I suggest soaking them over night.. easier on the gut, and it won't make you gasy or bloated. It also takes away some of the fat....I comsume a lot of alkline forming foods, greens, fruits and veggies..

flanders77 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Eat fruits during the day and a big salad with vegetables nuts or avocado for dinner. During transition dried fruits stop the feeling of being hungry very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odidnetne Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I ate lots of nuts yesterday, I feel like crap today, I don't know if it's linked A lot of nuts normally do that to people. The fat in avocado is far more satisfying to the human stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I ate lots of nuts yesterday, I feel like crap today, I don't know if it's linked Nuts are cooked/heat treated! Don't eat too much fats either, if you need something heavy, grab some veggies/bananas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nspanky Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for replying, I've been cutting back on the nuts in the past 3 days and eating more fruits. When i'm hungry i eat fruit in btw meals. Yesterday i felt dizzy alot and today i am tired so i had a bean salad for lunch, i thought maybe i needed more sustenance. I'm intriqued by the whole idea of eating mostly fruit, but it also scares me also. It sounds so extreme(even though i love fruit). I'm curious, those of you who are serious fruitarians, do you get blood tests done regularly to make sure that everything is as it should be? That's the only part that scares me that i would be missing out on certain nutrients that my body needs. Please don't be offended by my question, i am truly curious.
