What to expect on 10 days of only sweet fruit?
I am on day 4 of 10 days of only eating sweet fruit and am wondering if what I am experiencing is normal?
After hearing Free state that she was cured of candida in 10 days of banana eating I thought it was worth a go myself. Let me just say that I feel like craaaaaaaaaaaap!
My tongue is much whiter than of recent times, my lower back (which has given me grief for ages) is alot worse, I have a dull aching pain down my right side under my rib area and I can't sleep because of restless legs ( and oddly arms) . I have been high raw since Jan this year and the restless legs were a problem before raw but have resurfaced since eating all fruit.
On the positive side, my last meal has been around 6/6.30 pm and I haven't been inclined to eat again until around 10am the next day (previous to this I could eat until around 9pm)
I have no cravings for fat or bread. I do miss my greens though.....
Anyho, this is abit long winded I know but am wondering if this is normal and will I come through the other side?

Hey Nicole,
The white tongue is thrush: candida. The other symptoms are classic candidiasis too.
Let me just offer that it takes a long time to get rid of candida, so I would suggest stopping the fruit thing immediately.
Also, I also lost my appetite during different phases of systemic candidiasis. I would be really, really hungry, then abnormally lacking appetite. It didn't take long for the high-fruit thing to tear down my endocrine system, so I tend to want to warn others who seem to be headed in a similar direction.
I hope you feel better soon. :-)

Hiya. I knew that the white tongue was a sympton of thrush, I have had it most of my life. Over the past 6 months though it was a lovely healthy pink colour which I attributed to eating alot of corriander, spinach, spirulina and green smoothies. I was hoping the reappearance was the dying off process

I attributed a lot to "die off" too, but I was very wrong; I understand it's hard to sort through it and know for sure sometimes.
I just want to share again that so many of us got really sick and are still healing from 811 and other high-fruit diets. But I understand that you want to go through with it to find out. I needed to do that too.
I truly wish you good health.

Cheers love. I understand where you are coming from. I am keeping an open mind and figure I don't have alot to lose in 10 days. I figure that anyting that keeps me away from the nuts for awhile is good :)

Thanks. :) At least you are going into this with awareness. And I hear you about the nuts! I'm not eating them now either, and I'm nuts about nuts!

hey nicole, you're probably best posting this on 30BaD seeing peeps on there are doing similar, most peeps here have never done or even heard of such a thing...but in the meantime,,,
Your tongue is a 'magic mirror'it reflects whats going on with certain organs...You are eliminating years of crap nicole, just keep in mind how long you have been eating foods that are damaging to your body...also have you ever had alcohol? pharmaceautical drugs? recereational drugs?salt?coffee and other stimulants? all of these substances need to be eliminated from circulation within your lymphatic system, blood stream and tissues. Because you are eating so cleanly your body now has extra energy to release these substances into circulation & ofcourse you will feel crap because they are toxic (& now floating in your bloodstream again), your body is trying to rid itself of this toxic load.
When you say you are only eating sweet fruit, what does that mean? My recommendation is for only 1 type of fruit for at least 10days. You will still get great results eating just sweet fruit ofcourse but it should be combined properly. Make sure your fruit is fully ripe, what fruit are you eating?
Well done so far!

Wolfe in his sunfood book says eating only sweet fruit will give you mental clarity... a 'fruit fast'... I'm going to experiment with this, also with fruit fasts that contain all fruits; sweet, non-sweet, and fatty.

Yeah I read that awhile bak and managed 3 days of just oranges. It took my new raw journey to a new level and my skin looked great, which is pretty good considering I am 37. He stated that he ate only watermelon while writing that book

If you have access to good quality fruits... Clement said tropical fruits have one of the highest energetics... meaning its 'charged' with electromagnetic energy, or the life force... he might be right =) I'm sure it would be easy to do and quite pleasurable since fruits are so yummy~
You must have eaten a lot of mangoes in those two weeks =)

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.

Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.

GASP! I would never accuse you of such. Take that back right now.
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
