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 ⭐️

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 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!

My friend was on 80/10/10 rv for about 3 months then had troubles with emotions and started back eating vegetarian with all the oils breads and etc and has since gained 30 pounds. He lost 10 pounds of that but now struggles to get back to his optimal 80/10/10 rv weight. Now he is going back to 80/10/10 rv and is having a big salad everyday loaded up with veggies and avocado but not too much and a bunch of fruit. His fat is usually around 6% for the day yet his weight remains stagnant. It must be mostly water weight he has to lose that his body is hanging on to I'm guessing?? Or should he be doing some fasting too? He still wants to lose the other 20 pounds I'm just not sure what to tell him other than stay the course and the weight including water weight will fall off. Is this good advice or should I have him doing something else too? Oh also he is exercising doing weightlifting 3 to 4 times a week but not much in the way of cardio because he doesn't want to lose any of the muscle he is gaining which cardio can do. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to hearing from the community thank you.
