Profile Information
- About Me:
- Change of plans! It seems that life has decided to remove me from my Caribbean getaway and place me back on the main land (Houston, TX). I'll be here for the immediate future building up my fathers business.
I don't consider myself to be a vegan, raw foodist, fruitarian or anything else that would place me into a category. I consider myself to be a person that eats the healthiest food possible. From what I have learned in my journey so far, I believe that food to be fruit.
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- Moral support, friendship. It's great to be able to share your experiences with others as you walk along the same or similar paths. Helping others as well as being guided by others is great and the best way to achieve your goals.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- Mango
- Interests (outside of Raw Food):
- Sports, exercise, the outdoors, friends and family, traveling. I enjoy meeting people and doing spontaneous, adventurous things.
- Favorite Quote:
- "If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants."
- GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : )
- Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.
Good Quotes:

Cacau is a fruit, but chocolate is extracted from the seeds, not the fruit pulp
is chocolate fruit? Can you be 100% fruitarian and still eat cocoa beans? just wondering! *lost in space* :P
My respect to you Manuel!
Other than fruit sometimes I eat nuts, less and less though. But I still have some random raw vegan, even just vegan, exceptions socially, so it's more like 97% on fruit and nuts last years, I guess.
lol....
I was all fruit for a year. Ended in January. 6'0. 24. 150 LB. Blood was perfect. I felt great on the diet except I couldn't gain muscle. I worked out a lot. All fruit. No nuts or veggies. No supplementing. I juiced for a bit but just los...
dude. details!
height age weight, pls?
have you gotten bloodwork done? what's it looking like? any deficiencies?
no nuts or veggies @ all? are you supplementing/juicing?
finally, do you work out?
I used to eat a lot. A papaya, 10 bananas and a few mangos would hold me for about four hours. When I was on it I used to rarely feel tired. I would sleep well and wake up early. Fresh. I didn't have that much physical strength as I could not gain...

Spencer said… - Alright Manuel throw me another update - how's sugar-free high fat going? And what's your ratio of animal products to plants?

Spencer said…
- Really interesting to hear, thanks for the update. I had a 2 month period in 2007 where I did a sugar fast and had amazing results. The only issue was once I went back to sweet fruit it was disastrous, took months to regain the ability to eat sweet stuff.
Right now I'm trying low fat low sugar, so I can have the control/clarity and the flexibility.

- Give me an update Manuel, would love to hear how the high-fat diet went.
- At 5:02pm on May 1, 2009,
Spencer said…
- Hm could have been because of the fat+sugar combo. Have you ever done exclusively sweet fruit with no avocado for a period?
- At 1:07pm on April 30, 2009,
Spencer said…
- You were eating lots of sweet fruit as well though, right? And no greens?
- At 8:30pm on April 28, 2009,
Spencer said…
- Could you let me know how it wasn't optimal for you? Any specific indications?
Did you ever try high plant-fat raw?
- At 11:52am on April 26, 2009,
Spencer said…
- Interesting dude I'd love to hear the results. What prompted the change?
- At 11:19pm on April 25, 2009,
Spencer said…
- Manuel still eating purely fruit?

When you say going up, are you refering to people building new homes?

I do like the Violent Femmes but I think that is too pessimistic. Nihilistic hard driving folk.
2 apples
10 pineapple guavas
small cup steamed, sprouted black beans with raw spinach, pepper, tomato, cilantro (no salt)
2 sticks celery
6 red bananas
10 more pineapple guavas
7 satsuma tangerines
1 pomegranate
10 dates
I have not used the stuff for years, it gives me heart palpitations.
but when I did use the stuff my 1st choice was liquid (especially the flavored ones they have like toffee)
2nd choice: white, which is more processed, but I can not even stomach ...
Soft rock is soft, not driving rock, but soft gushy love songs, romantic, smooth..stuff you are embarrassed to admit you like.
Stuff that makes you imagine you are swimming with sea horses, or hanging out on a rainbow with your love.
Did you just blend banana and vanilla? I made ice cream with banana and cacao nibs... it was really good.
Yum. I love raw spaghetti so much.
That looks really good. I should make more elaborate desserts, I tend to keep it simple.
This list is awesome!!!
Careless Whisper is one of my favorite songs period.
So is Drive by The Cars
Ooh, and More Than This by Roxy Music.
Thanks, Rawstrength. I'm on their website now. They have a lot of great stuff and great prices!
Umm about 5 pounds of fruits and vegetables I guess, I can't say what the exact amount is.
Only because Suvine asked me to.
I have almost no idea what qualifies as soft rock, but if most of the music here is any indication, that's probably because I don't actually like soft rock. For the most part. Does Queen qualify as soft rock? I ha...
