Is Fit On Raw Right for You? Take This Quiz and Find Out

Are you new to Fit On Raw and wondering if this place is right for you?  Take this simple quiz to find out.

Yay, fun quiz time!

1. On your kitchen counter sits one large musk melon, a pound of tomatoes, one red bell pepper, two heads of romaine lettuce, and 3 avocados.  What’s for dinner?

• A) First, you dig into the musk melon, all 60 ounces of it.  Oooh, so sweet.  Next, the tomatoes, bell pepper, and avocado make the perfect dressing for your tender greens.  Of course, only 1/2 of the avocado is used.  No candida overgrowth or indigestion for you!
• B) You start with the musk melon, being sure to chew very slowly.  You get through the first half an hour later, stopping there.  Don’t wanna get fat on fruit!  Then it’s on to a nice healthy salad of greens, tomatoes, bell pepper, and half an avocado.  All gone, but you’re still hungry.  Just look at all those avocados, *gobble, gobble, gobble* Gotta stop buying fatty foods, you reason.
• C) Sounds delicious, but that’s way too much fruit.  You just take the greens and make a dressing of the 3 avocados, 3 tablespoons of oil, a few handfuls of nuts and seeds, and lots of Himalayan pink sea salt.  Keepin’ it lite and healthy.
• D) Musk melon?

2. Your favorite raw food gurus are:

• A) Frederic Patenaude.  Roger Haeske, the 42-year-old Teenager.  Douglas Graham, duh!  Really anyone who promotes a high fruit, low fat raw vegan diet.
• B) Douglas Graham is great.  But what about DHAs and vitamin B12 and calcium and…oh geez, so confusing…
• C) Anyone who pushes expensive supplements and superfoods.  Need to stock up on raw water and royal bee vomit (for the protein and vibrational energy, of course).
• D) Raw food…is that like lettuce or something?

3. You have 10 bucks to feed yourself for 2 days.  What do you buy?

• A) $5 for a 20lb box of discounted bananas at $.25 per pound.  One “overrripe” cantaloupe for $1.50.  $2 for a package of romaine, $0 for homegrown tomatoes and cucumber from your garden.  $1.50 left?  Splurge on a couple pounds of picked-by-you peaches!!!  Life is good.
• B) $10?!  What about organic?!  Okay, okay.  You can still get a few pounds of bananas, some greens…looks like you’ll be skipping dinner tonight. *sigh*
• C) Please, that’s not even enough to make one super fatty, grassy glass of green juice.  Plus, it’s already been a week since your last 2-day intermediate fast and 3 days since the master cleanse so no food for you.  Gotta clear out those toxins!
• D) $10?!  McD’s $1 menu, here I come!  I’m lovin’ it!

4. Your favorite food is:

• A) Mangoes!  So delicious, so calorie-packed, so available.  Living in the tropics rocks!
• B) Bananas, but can’t eat to much.  Bananas are just too dense and lead to weight gain. *sigh*
• C) Bana…*ahem* Definitely not bananas.  They’re high-glycemic.  Dried Goji berries at $20 a pound, that’s more like it. Got money to burn!
• D) Bagel Bites!  When pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime!

5. Your definition of healthy food is:

• A) Whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic plant foods.
• B) Whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic plant foods.  But what about vitamin D3?  And can we really get enough protein on fruit and veggies alone? Oh goodness, not again…
• C) Anything that’s raw vegan.  And occasionally raw eggs and milk because the raw gurus said so.  Oh, and bee pollen!  Okay, new rule: anything that’s RAW…and costs a lot.
• D) Edible

Answer Key

If you answered mostly A’s, you should start your own low fat raw vegan fitness blog and be my best friend.  You eat lots of fruit so you never have cravings and have lots of energy to be as active as you like.  You’ve likely been living this lifestyle for quite a while now and can’t imagine any other way of eating.  You know all the ins and outs of a low fat, raw vegan diet and you enjoy helping others with their raw food related questions.

You really should start your own raw food and health blog.  Seriously, do it.  And the “best friends with Swayze” thing, get on that pronto.

If you answered mostly B’s, you should keep reading Fit On Raw.  You are likely very new to this lifestyle.  You have an idea that low fat and fruity fare is the way to go, but your knowledge is limited and so you often doubt yourself.  You also tend to restrict your calories from sweet fruit, which leads to savory/fatty/salty cravings, and obsess over the little things like buying everything organic.  You just so want to eat the perfect, most optimal diet and have the perfect body.  Is that so much to ask?

Here are some tips: start eating more fruit, stop worrying about weight loss, read the articles on my blog, subscribe to my list (if you haven’t already), and chill out.  It’s just food and no one’s perfect, remember!

If you answered mostly C’s, you should start reading Fit On Raw.  You’re new to raw foods and have been swayed by the “more fat, more grass, more supplements, more superfoods, no fitness” raw foodists.

Don’t worry, I can help you out.  To get started, fill out the form in the top right hand corner of this page.  That will subscribe you to my list and you will receive the free report The 4 Principles of a Healthy Raw Diet as well as the 5-week mini-course The Fool-Proof Transition to Raw.  You’ll be a fruity raw vegan before ya know it!

If you answered mostly D’s, you’ve probably realized by now that you are in the wrong place.  I’m guessing you were searching for ‘Fit on Fat’ or ‘Fat on Fruit Rollups’ and stumbled upon this low fat, high fruit raw vegan site by mistake.

It’s cool, just try googling ‘carnivores r us’ or ‘meat makes me happy’ instead. No hard feelings.

Go raw and be fit,

Swayze
