Bali has exceeded all my expectation, hopes, and desires. OMG. I'll be putting this retreat onto my calendar again. Likely Feb, 2026. As soon as dates are set, you'll be the first to know.

Dear 80/10/10 Community, I have been following this diet since 1,5 years and it’s going great. One topic I have yet not been able to solve intelligently, is fruit storage. How do you store large quantities of fruit, like 100-120kg of bananas, keeping in mind the following aspects: 1. Easy Maintenance: The storage system must allow for simple and thorough cleaning to ensure hygiene. 2. Gentle Handling: Fruits should not be stacked excessively to avoid bruising or damage, requiring ample surface area. 3. Pest Prevention: The solution must effectively deter insects such as ants and fruit flies. In my research, I’ve encountered two approaches: - Industrial-scale systems e.g., climate-controlled ripening rooms, which are oversized, costly, and unnecessary for my needs, as I do not require accelerated ripening. - Household Solutions e.g., sealed plastic bags or small baskets, which lack airflow or sufficient capacity for bulk storage. The only idea I have been able to come up with is: A customizable stainless steel shelving unit designed as follows: - Adjustable Shelves: Each shelf spaced at 30 cm in height to accommodate a single layer of bananas or similar fruits, eliminating stacking. - Pull-Out Trays: Stainless steel trays mounted on sliding rails for easy access to front and back portions of the shelf. Not being perforated and being removable making it easier to clean. - Mesh Enclosure: The entire unit enclosed in stainless steel mesh (1–2 mm aperture) to block pests, with a front mesh door for accessibility. While this design addresses airflow, hygiene (stainless steel is easy to clean), and pest control, I would prefer to avoid custom fabrication. Please share how you store your fruit 🙏

Hi 811 Community, Hi Doug, I’ve been on 811 since about 6 months and since about 3 months I have been very gassy. During the first 3 months I was also gassy from time to time, but not this consistently. My diet has been: 2000kcal Banana Smoothie 500kcal Oranges 300kcal Avocados 50kcal Leafy greens Sometimes changing Avocados for Chia seeds, and for the first 3 months I was eating persimmons instead of oranges. Sometimes also exchanging the Avocados for Hemp. I have no idea what to do, and it’s bothering me. It smells really bad and im also bloated. Doug: I saw on one of your videos/ posts that overeating could be an cause for this. With overeating are you referring to overeating what the capacity of your stomach can handle in one sitting, or eating more than your daily needs within the course of your meals? Another notion: I use a high speed blender for my banana smoothie. Could it be speeding up their oxidation so that the smoothie starts turning to alcohol within my intestines? For a week i went off the fats and proteins like avocados, chia seeds and hemp, just to test wether they could be the issue, but there was no or minimal change. I don’t believe to little water intake is the issue, as I drink quite frequently. Equates to approximately 3L per day Would really appreciate some help 🙏

Are you feeling as healthy as you would like to feel? Are you satisfied, or are you striving? What needs to change for you to make progress towards your goals? I'd love to see people sharing more of such conversations here. Please feel free to chime in.

Hi 811 Community, Hi Doug, Which other people or sources of information do you follow and/or find respectable regarding a raw diet? Apart from 811 the book, and this community I personally look at john rose.
