Too Much Fruit On a Low Fat Raw Diet?!

“Wow, that’s a lot of fruit! Isn’t that too much?  How can you possibly eat all that?!”

These are just some of the comments I receive (A LOT!) about eating a low fat raw vegan diet, so I thought I’d spend a few moments talking about the “too much fruit” issue in a video.

Enjoy! :)

Thanks Swayze.
I eat from 10-12 bananas a day and it is freeing not worrying about what I’m going to eat and how many calories I’m consuming. I know they’re always there adn it’s so easy. The challenge is keeping my supply up and having them always be in various stages of ripenness. It was good to see you let your bananas get as ripe as I do. :) I like the videos on occasion. It’s nice to see the face and personality behind the blog once in a while.

I like watching the videos and seeing a person behind the words :) You are fun to watch!

Why no veggies other than greens?

Swayze Reply:

I do eat other vegetables besides greens, such as celery, carrots, and broccoli, but the emphasis is on tender, leafy greens. I also eat lots of non-sweet fruits like zucchini and cucumber.

I loved watching your video Swayze! It’s so true about everything being relative. That’s a concept that is difficult for people to get for some reason!

5 Amy { 01.28.10 at 4:49 PM }

The videos are great. Thank you so much for the info.

I do not mind a video, but 8 mins of video I would rather be able to scan read a page and get the relevant information that is new to me.

I completly agree with everything you said in your video! People at work always comment on how much fruit I eat. I’ll have 1.5 melons for lunch with some berries and they are so amazed to see that I can eat so much. What bothers me is that they are saying that as they are scarfing down 2 slices of greasy pizza!

I really enjoy watching your videos, and this was a great addition! Your fun personality really comes through. It’s so wonderful that we get to eat so much food eating this way – I totally love it too. I’ve adjusted, and 10 bananas seems like a normal lunch to me now. It’s so nice to feel really full and satisfied from my food, but not heavy or weighed down. Thanks Swayze!

P.S. I’m working on the last of my persimmons too – they’re one of my top favorite fruits! It’s been a good winter.

Swayze Reply:

Thanks for all the feedback and lovely compliments, guys! :D

Hey Swayze,
I cannot remember what post it was I commented on about the taste Of durian, well after your reply I thought I might revisit the fruit again and in doing so I realized I had got the fruit Jackfruit mixed up with Durian.
Now I understand why it is considered good eating I had a right ole pig out on it :-)

Swayze Reply:

Nice! :D

What a great video Swayze! Really straight to the point – and you talked about one of the most important things (not only for succeeding on this diet, but I guess for everything in life): concentrating on the good things instead of worrying about the bad things!

Thanks for posting that! Already excited about what will come next…. :-)

Bye
Kathrin

I just saw this video…good stuff! Your vids are great! I’m in awe of all the delish fruit we can eat, too. My persimmons are gone but pointing out yours was cute…

Swayze Reply:

Yea, they’re all gone now and I didn’t even get the last of ‘em…my dog did! :lol:

[..YouTube..] Just wondering how many years have you been on the low fat raw diet? Thanks

17 FitOnRaw { 02.18.10 at 9:41 AM }

[..YouTube..] @mbassadorjr About 99% for just over two years

18 gillygirlva { 02.23.10 at 5:37 PM }

[..YouTube..] I get full after 1-2 bananas. How are you able to eat 8 in one sitting without being miserably full?

19 FitOnRaw { 02.24.10 at 9:47 AM }

[..YouTube..] @gillygirlva Once you give your stomach time to adjust to the extra volume, it isn’t difficult at all. Today, I can’t imagine eating any other way. I can finally feel completely satisfied after a meal without feeling bloated, nauseated and lethargic.

[..YouTube..] Cool great video.. you seem very happy and balanced. Do you eat any other fruit besides banana?
I love bananas even before I went raw I ate 3-4 a day.. I still eat eggs some days.. I like banana omelet .. that is an omelet on chopped banana with raw agava necta over the top! Scrummy:)

[..YouTube..] @teganjames Well, thank you! :)

Yes, I eat more fruit than just bananas — depending upon what is in season at the time — but bananas are my staple due to availability, caloric density, and cost. If I had my druthers, I would live on peaches and mangoes forever. :P

36 daro2096 { 03.23.10 at 12:27 PM }

[..YouTube..] I eat fruit at breakfast and vegetables for lunch.

1 orange, 1 apple, 1 banana, 1 bowl of instant oats and 1 bowl of corn flakes, 600ml of unsweetened soya milk and two slices of wholemeal toast.

That is my breakfast.

For lunch I eat salad sandwiches and cooked vegetables(lunch is varied but I always eat some salad).

37 daro2096 { 03.23.10 at 12:30 PM }

[..YouTube..] Sometimes I will eat grapes for breakfast too but they are expensive so really they are a treat for me.

I also eat nuts(my fav. is peanuts).

But I think eating 10 bananas at a time is extreme.

[..YouTube..] This was the first video of yours which I stumbled upon accidentally. I was doing a Google search trying to find out if it’s possible to eat too much fruit, because I was worried that I was eating too many oranges (like 4 a day). This video was really a revelation to me, as someone who comes from a cooked food background. I would never have thought one could get away with eating that many bananas! Fruit is really going to help me transition to raw food, I love it!

[..YouTube..] @seka1986 Many people think that a banana is ripe when it is completely (or even when it is still partially green). Nope, these are still unripe. You want your banana to be completely yellow with brown spots on it. How many spots will depend upon the type/brand of banana, but these I bought from Costco are perfect at the stage you see in these video and just before it (a little less spots). :)

[..YouTube..] Very interesting, thank you for the video. I can sustain myself on 80% fruits but have been told that it is not good for people to eat that much fruit (and can eat 8 bananas in a seating). I am genuinely confused. Can you address the issue of sugar in fruits?

[..YouTube..] Hey, I have been eating a lot more fruit lately, been researching the whole vegan fruitarian thing. The only thing I’m wondering about is that I thought fruit is kinda high in sugar, won’t it rot your teeth? Also, since all fruit is mostly carbs isn’t that too much carbs? Any info would be appreciated, thanks for sharing! :)

[..YouTube..] @fmbighair High-carb is the way nature intended for us since fruit is the only obvious food nature presents to us.Sugar doesn’t rot teeth; acid from bacteria wears teeth leading to rot. Get enough minerals to re-mineralize teeth. And keep bacteria away by brushing with baking soda.

[..YouTube..] @fmbighair My view is – bacteria gets out of hand in un-healthy people and with bad diets. And I heard that the body can detox through the mouth. Toxins are also acidic. Either way, if you keep removing the bacteria, the teeth won’t rot.tip: brush BEFORE eating acidic foods; rinse after. Don’t brush after because the acid softens teeth for 30 minutes Get enough minerals by eating a pound of veggies a day.

143 Spies152 { 01.22.12 at 3:04 PM }

[..YouTube..] @FitOnRaw How many calories you eat a day? 811 is a lot of food LOL Do you know Tim Van Orden? He eats a lot less then the normai 811 and he thrives very well

144 FitOnRaw { 01.22.12 at 3:34 PM }

[..YouTube..] @Macedon51 Have you ever asked them why it isn’t good to eat “that much” fruit? They probably think that fruit will lead to hyperglycemia (it won’t) or that fruit causes candidiasis (it doesn’t) or that the sugar will cause cancer (it most certainly will not). All of these conditions have been linked to the presence of excess dietary fat (among other things), not fruit.

145 FitOnRaw { 01.22.12 at 3:35 PM }

[..YouTube..] @Spies152 It may look like a lot of food given the low-volume cooked foods most people consume, but it is actually the right amount of food. I average 1800-2000 per day.

146 Spies152 { 02.03.12 at 2:01 PM }

[..YouTube..] @FitOnRaw your 1800-2000 does seems more easy. On 30BAD they recomend much higher that that..They will say you are undercarbed LOL.

147 FitOnRaw { 02.03.12 at 2:48 PM }

[..YouTube..] @Spies152 It all depends upon how much energy your expend, which depends upon several factors (e.g. height, activity level, etc.). I’m only 5’4.5″ tall and I don’t run marathons, workout hours per day, or have a labor-intensive job. 3000 calories is simply way too much for me.
