RE: oh shit [s]

[Guest guest]

Eat enough food to sustain your body a little above its present size. Would

you be willing to share your present height and weight?

 

Regarding the softer stool, as you increase your fruit consumption, the

extra fiber and water enable your system to release stored gunk in your

colon, and it goes more or less as is. As you continue to release cooked

food this will moderate over time, depending upon your past etc.

 

Also, it's a bit difficult to respond in more detail because you haven't

actually described what you are eating. " 50/50 " means nothing, because you

probably do not know how to compute such a ratio, few people do. it would be

much more constructive and easier to respond if you are willing to provide

additional information. For example, a bag of raw flax crackers with

guacamole is quite different from 12 oranges, which is again quite different

from 6 bananas and 3 pears.

 

Best,

[Raw Food] oh shit

 

 

 

Time for a little shit-talking! literally.

Seriously though, I have some bowel issues that maybe

someone can explain to me. Right now I'm about 50/50

raw/dead foods. But I notice that when I eat " dead "

my stool is smoother and more solid, whereas when I

eat raw it is a lot looser.

 

Also, I'm *very* underweight. Part of the attraction

to raw foods was that it would help to regulate my

weight, but I haven't gained a pound. Admittedly,

part of this is probably due to my eating habits. I

rarely eat breakfast or lunch, and tend to eat dinner

at night. While I'm working on changing the habits,

does anyone have any RF advice for gaining weight?

 

Peace,

Mike

Ok. Since yesterday here's what I ate:

3/20

1:00 - " scrambled " tofu, potatoes and cornbread w/ some ketchup

3:30 - banana

5:00 - nori sheet, topped with tomato-basil pate (Rainbow Green), some

sesame seeds and nutritional yeast - dehydrated (Raw Gourmet).

9:15 - apple, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1/3 head broccoli dipped in

" Sunny Pate " (Raw Gourmet)

 

3/21

That's it. What's my prognosis?
