Figs, kiwis digestion
Hey everybody, I have a not so glamorous question, but important to ask you. My absolute favorite fruit is figs, juicy and gooey ripe figs mmmh. But yesterday, while already having a sensitive digestion since 1 day, probably due to why is happening to me now, recovering from different things and not moving a lot, just beginning to be able to move a liiitlle bit again, I had figs and experienced loose stools in the evening. And then not anymore, stools are formed, but going to the toilet very often. And before all that happened, last year, i used to be able to eat figs, but never before a run for exemple. It’s frustrating because fig is my ablsolute favorite fruit in taste. I have stopped eating kiwis last year, because, with them it was worse, I would always experience diarrhea the next day. So I wanted to know how about you? I don’t want to restrict on fruits, but maybe should I eat less of some digesting less good? Do you have tips? What are your experiences with them? I have the impression that it happens with those having all those seeds inside, but not sure. And I noticed, when going to the toilet that it seems like the seeds are separated from the formed parts, so yeah sorry for those precisions, but yeah I wanted to know about you. Usually o digest fruits well, maybe apple, I can’t make a mono meal of, but yeah I was asking myself for those ones, how about you? And about greens too, I am having those big salads and when I feel ok is great, but as soon I am not at my best, i can digest lettuce less good and feel and see it in my digestion. It doesn’t happen with arugula, spinach and cucumber etc more with iceberg that I enjoy a lot too, romaine etc etc. How about you? Do you avoid things you digest less good? I have the impression that I am consuming things ripe and chewing it well, but yeah maybe you have more recommendations. Thx, take care ⭐️

Greens
Hey everybody, I have a question about greens. Do you sometimes only have cucumber/zucchini or other type of vegetables? I am used to have some sort of green everyday like lettuce, arugula, spinach etc but tonight, I am only having zucchini noodles and broccoli with some tomatoes, celery and hemp seed sauce and I don’t feel to have a salad aside. Is it important to have leafy greens everyday? Or does cucumber, zucchini, celery and other vegetables count too? Enjoy!

Dr. Vivian Virginia Vetrano question
Hi Doug, you mention her as a mentor in your Nutrition and Athletic Performance book. So, i decided to look her up and read some of her writings. I started reading Genuine Fruitarianism; The Ecological, Sociable, Satisfying Way to Eat. She seems to recommend eating nuts and seeds much more than you do, claiming we need the protein that fruits only can't provide. While i understand you both agree that a fruit only diet doesn't provide enough proteins to calories, I think there's a difference between your opinions as the amount of seeds/nuts that is needed. I attached one screenshot for reference. I guess my question is: after 3.5 months of eating 80/10/10rv to the letter (with 4-5% of my daily calories coming from greens like spinach, romaine, red leaf lettuce, bok choi, etc) which is where you say we get the proteins that will help make up the 10% needed, and monitoring via Cronometer, i never get higher than 6% even with occasional addition of a cup of sprouted mung beans. If i replace avocados with nuts or seeds, then a get a little closer to 10% but never there. How do other do? If they dont, then why advertise the diet as having 10% protein? I ask because im a doctor already guiding others thrpough this diet and if i am not successful, i can't expect others to be. So what is the way to be successful, and if theres no way, then could i relabel the diet as more like 85-5-10?

Hey Nellie, I will of course let Dr Graham answer, but from my understanding, the idea is more a mimimum of 80% coming from carbs and 10 to less percent of it coming from protein and fats. I am not an expert but I eat this way since around 3.5 years and I think my protein have never or rarely touched 10%, more closer to what you describe, often 6% and fats under 10% or 10. I am not a doctor, but from my expérience i saw how nutrition is not only what we put in our mouth. Cronometer is a great tool, especially to make sure we eat enough and those percentage on average. But not to worry that much on that or rely only on that. Some Cronometer numbers are not correct. An exemple I had noticed is that they put 0% iron on bananas. And also, cornometer numbers are on average, depending on quality etc it can differ (Anne Osborne talk about it). I understand your worry, I had it more than once about one specific thing etc, and I am still learning everyday, but I think, for my part at least, and experience all above haha, our sensation is an important tool. Not that Cronometer or other things shouldn’t be used, but more like that when you say that you are not successful, are you saying it because you meant to achieve 80/10/10 numbers exactly? If the case probably that a few raw vegan are, or I totally misunderstood hahaha! I will let Dr Graham answer, but just wanted to share my understanding and experience, because I know how stressful it can sometimes be. Especially when wanting to help other people too. (I am not an expert, don’t take anything like the absolute truth, just trying to be helpful) Take care

Of course I do understand, from What I remember interviews and books it is not a goal, rather more than 80% carbs yes. Take care Thank you!
I wonder if there is help for bowel movements being diarrhea.
Who do we go to that won't just want to treat the symptoms? Does anyone else have this? We are getting nervous about going places because there isn't much time when the bowel wants to empty and there is not really any consistency of timing with it. How do you all cope and is this common? I have been raw for over a year this time and BMs were fine until I did a 40 day juice fast in December 2024. I was incontinent every day of both bowel and bladder and wore depends during the fast but over the last nine months I have graduated to a small pad because my butt "leaks" clear fluid to green fluid and I never know when but it can soak my underwear if I don't have a pad there. I never know when I'm going to dump a bunch of diarrhea and when my gut lets me know it is coming I have very little time to get to a toilet. I am fine seeing an MD but I want someone raw or who won't tell me I have to eat cooked food. My spouse eats cooked food and he is having the same problem with pain in his gut. I don't have any pain.Both of us love being active walking and biking. The walking definitely stimulates the bowels so we have to take measures to avoid wetting and soiling outselves like wear depends or take stuff to go in the bushes and not leave toilet paper on the ground. I take zip lock bags and bring it back home. Please help. I kept thinking it would heal itself because I love that my bowels are active after so many years of constipation (50) and another 15 years of better but not great BMS on the SAD. WEnt vegan five years ago and things started to change for the better. Now I've gone too far the other way.

Hey Janet, hope that you are going to find a solution and have the possibility to be supported according to your needs and values. I do not have any medical degree and nothing “scientific” about my sharing. But for a long time before getting raw, I had digestive issues. And the last year before discovering about fruit based, I came to a point where I didn’t know what to eat, to get in my calories. Same as you, I was active, walking and exercising etc. One things that helped when experiencing diarrhea was water and lemon juice (normal temperature or cold but not warm, otherwise I would experience worse symptoms). Right now, it is rare that I experience those sort of issue, but another thing that I wasn’t doing, but that I think is essential is taking rest when necessary. Sleeping all the necessary. And if feeling fragile about it, resting. Finally, exploring the emotion side, somatic etc. Yoga nidra from ally on YouTube is great when practicing with consistency. I know do for burnout and important trauma, but people do for different reasons like this too. And also shiatsu. Ah and about the diet, noticing if there are some aliments that make it worse. For exemple kiwis, I adore, but don’t digest. Or extra fats, when I have I experience a less good digestion, if I don’t feel to have extra fat (avocado, nuts, seeds) I won’t. Take care.
