well, I cut out fruit this week and have noticed that i have been serving up the fats

i feel better without the fruit for sure, have less mental obsession for food and less cravings

basically I have been eating 1-2 times in the morning
raw buffalo or lamb, raw cheese avg 4-6 oz

2-4 times a week I have some raw cacao powder in the blender
i don't find myself hungry later but sometimes have some raw greens or tomato in the evening

my energy is good for certain kinds of exercise:  hot yoga much better with the meat vs. carbs but my cardio is really suffering
I like spin class 2-4 times per week and have noticed that my resistance work is stronger but I can not get into the sprints
(i have noticed this before.....when I went into carbs/ fruit ....I felt much lighter and was much much faster!)

but i polished off a whole canister of raw/sprouted flax this week and this morning I ate about 3-4 ounces of coconut butter as well as 1-2 ounces of cheese

I am about 10-20lbs overweight and no matter what it is hard to budge this weight, It came on at puberty and i have only really burnied through ALL of it one time in my adult life.  the times i lose it are if i am traveling and having lots of adventure and freedom

I would like to eventually get to moderation with both the fat and the carbs.  Like 2-3 Tablespoons of good fat per day and 1-2 servings of low GI fruit

any ideas??

this is exciting!  I can't believe I found you all

i am striving to be an all raw omnivore.  began dabbling in raw one year ago and I am a believer for sure.

I have been diagnosed with about 6 different gut bugs including staph and one fungal infection. and was living on meat, greens and flax oil just to stay alert and functioning before trying raw

for the first few weeks of raw vegan I felt amazing but as soon as I added in fruit I lost all motivation to exercise, gained about 10 lbs and got all of my symptoms of gut issues back

I have dabbled with raw meats (and again my body says yes) and mostly have had done well with lamb and ground bison.  I have not eaten beef or pork in 30 years. In fact I was a vegetarian for about 15 years....15 fat and tired years

anyway I wanted to get back to all raw and have been raw vege for the last 2 (fat and tired months!!)

the only animal product I have been having is 3-6 ounces of raw kefir in the morning

finally today I was so sick of being tired and not wanting to exercise or even go to work.....I had a HUGE CHUNK like 5-6 ounces of raw cheese and got such a great rush of energy.....tomorrow it's BUFFALO BABY!

I would love some input on how to structure this diet.  what advice you have to someone getting into it and all that good stuff

thanks, looking forward to this
