New interview with Doug Graham as part of the Love Fruit podcast-about 65 mins long: https://youtu.be/zHKjzv51HrI?feature=shared

The webinar on Osteoporosis tonight was sooo valuable! THANKS dear Doug for all precious information! It was so well explained, simply, clearly and easy to understand. I have osteoporosis like 50% of the population for having eaten western diet before and even smoked when I was young... My family doctor tells me I have it because of my vegan diet without dairy product & meat LOL! She asked me to take calcium supplement and vit.D! Here in the north of Quebec, there is not enough sun and we are dressed up in winter clothes for the quite few months ... so I might have to take vit.D ... and most important will be to get stronger by demanding my muscles & bones to work as efficiently as possible like it was so well explained tonight!

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!

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?

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.
