fruit at night

[Guest guest]

Peter,

 

When you say " green leaves " would romaine lettuce fit that

category or are you only speaking about spinach and other green

leafy vegetables.

 

I eat fruit late at night (usually 3 hours after my dinner).

 

Do you think it would be better to exchange the two and eat fruit

at dinner and then eat a very large salad as late as 9 or 10? I

usually am lucky to get to bed by 1 a.m. Of course, I am working

at getting to bed earlier, but it seems that I'm very productive

with my work late at night.

 

I love eating fruit and haven't noticed a stimulating effect from

it at night.

 

Thanks.

Viveca,

 

The very best is to eat nothing in the morning until you are really hungry.

Then eat fruit.

 

At lunch time eat a salad with some low sugared vegetables such as a tomato,

red pepper, lettuce etc.

 

Then for dinner go for the dark green leaves. Sometimes I eat an avocado in

the afternoon. Then in the early evening a spoon of flax seeds half an hour

or more before dinner.

 

If hunger attacks at night, green leaves or even water are best. That way

you sleep on a quiet digestion.

 

I should have mentioned that I have read in this forum so many times from

people who used to suffer from depression and have pulled out on a raw diet.

The basic idea is to get the body alkaline and away from the acids. Once

the chemistry is right then most depressions will life. Trouble often is

that some little item is upsetting the chemistry. A culprit can be alcohol

for example or there are much more vicious kinds which are3 generated by

parasites but that sort of territory belongs to the psychiatrists.

 

In the past I have had mild bouts of depression but since going raw, I feel

impermeable to it.
