Staple Fruitarian

[Guest guest]

approached eating from a logical point of

view.<br>1. My goal was a low fat, low protein diet<br>2.

Every diet must have at least one staple (a staple

provides enough energy: meat is a staple, as is rice,

bread and taro).<br>3. Vegetables, by themselves, are

not a staple. They don't have enough energy to keep

you alive. So vegetarians add a staple like

rice.<br>4. However fruit is a staple<br>5. So all I needed

to do was add small amounts of other food to provide

the full complement of nutriants.<br><br>You see:

completely logical, all by numbers. Spock would be proud of

me!<br><br>What surprised me was the profound physical and

psychological effects.<br><br>There do seem to be threshholds

like when my body turns from acid to alkaline; and

more subtly, when my desires change. Overall I've

changed from operating from a deficit, from being behind

the eight ball, to operating from plenitude.<br><br>I

have my breakfast in the Fruit Market while I read the

newspaper then I write to you. What could be more perfect!
