Eating a cooked vegan diet will get you into heaven on moral terms. But unless you consider going low fat raw vegan (fruitarian), you might get to heaven faster than you want! Just being a 'vegan' doesn't mean you are eating a healthy diet. Fried vegan foods are probably as unhealthy as cooked meat foods. [...]

I used to call my diet '80/10/10' after the book by Dr. Douglas Graham.

I am going to talk about a subject that is extremely important to most people – how to eliminate cravings. Cravings for foods that you grew up on, that you love, the things that you just can’t seem to give up: pizza, ice-cream, doughnuts, Doritos, chips, cheese, cookies, basically everything that you find in the [...]

I’ve crashed and burned many times while trying to learn how to stick with a fruitarian diet.

When you eat a Fruitarian Diet – your body smells as it should: Clean!
If you eat cooked foods, and/or onions, garlic, spices, oil, vinegar and even raw meat products — you are going to smell!

Yet another benefit of a fruitarian diet is that your vision improves. The only real way to prove it is for you to try fruitarianism yourself.
When I stopped eating cooked food and started eating fruits as my source of calories – I noticed that I could see better. It’s hard to describe better sight. Perhaps [...]

One of the unexpected benefits of a fruitarian diet is the change in your outlook on life.
When I was eating processed foods – I had a lot of ups and downs. Very often I didn’t have a stable state of mind. If I ate stimulating foods – I would feel energetic, but later I would [...]
