>Great choice in fasting days Lori. A day of fasting per week will certainly allow for the body to rest and rejuvenate itself.
All the best.

>Arete- Thank you 🙂
Aimee- I found out that it was because I was lying down in the sauna. I went in another day and sat up and was totally fine. The day I blacked out was also my first time in the sauna in a couple months. I should have eased into it. I am pretty sensitive. 🙂

>Lori,
Do you find yourself losing weight due to eating mainly all fruits?
You are so diligent! I hope I can get that way really soon. I am struggling as of late. I am eating 95% raw but in large quantities, I can’t seem to control myself. :/ ideas?

>Emily- I have found that eating simple allows me to focus on other things rather than food. I am focusing on living. It was an adjustment and I still eat complex dishes, just not everyday. I think that simple is the way to go. 🙂 Good luck!
Amie Sue- fruit is definitely keeping me from bingeing on junk food. It give me a sweet fix in a healthy way. I do need to be eating more leafy greens though. I think I burned out on them and I have been taking a break. I really recommend you read 80/10/10. It changed my raw food mentality. I did large quanities too for a long time. The 24 hour fast helped shrink my stomach a bit and reset the appetite. It is my personal life saver. 🙂

This post and your response about eating simply and focusing on living really struck a chord and stuck with me. It helped keep me on track on a trip recently and I’m starting to feel an increased sense of balance.
Thank you!

>hi lori,
Is it hard to stick to 80/10/10? Are you still keeping to that diet now?
I have been on that diet for 2 weeks and now starting to slide off, cos’ I find myself being drawn to cooked dishes.
