"I get the same way with apples, even organic ones. I am not sure why but I would start with avoiding them for now and once you are comfortable with the diet, slowly reintroduce them. That's what I'm doing now, and so far I am…"

some fruits make me nauseous!

So I'm a beginner to 811, and I finally read the book. I decided to start gradually, and increase my fruit intake each day. However, I found that having large quantities of mangoes make me feel sick. I can't eat more that 3 before feeling like I'm going to vomit, and it's a quite uncomfortable feeling. And it's not because I'm overstuffing myself because I don't feel very full after 3. And just recently, I had the same thing happen to me with peaches. I used to not have a problem at all with…See More

"How long have you been eating HCRV? I'm finishing up my first week of this lifestyle and so far I've felt a bit weaker. But I think maybe I'm not eating enough or maybe my body is not used to this kind of eating yet!"

Gretchen A. replied to jupiter's discussion do you think 4 hours a day of exercise is a waste of time?

"As long as your having fun! Although maybe spread out those hours throughout the week so you don't get burnt out and just quit cold turkey! And yes I think you should take at least 1 or 2 rest days a week, so that your body has time to recover.…"

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: Like many, for years I have been into those "diets" back in forth in my life, followed by a binging period, and all those things made me really unhappy with myself and my body. I have always loved fruit, but I never realized it could be the main ingredient in my eating lifestyle until I came across Durianrider and Freelee's videos. I absolutely loved the sound of it! I've been raw vegan for about four days now, and it's been very hard, but I'm willing to commit for the rest of my life. I really love that 30 bananas a day exists for some support.

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: babe

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I really want to be HCRV and just need some guidance

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I will read the book

Are you Connected?: no comment

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: I love nutrition and fitness. I am constantly doing nutritional research and as well as my nursing studies. I love being active and having fun. Exercising is something I do for myself to keep myself alive and awake throughout my day, and something I do that makes me very proud.

Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team! We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?: I really would like some meal time ideas, and more tips on how to stay focused. I am also off to school again pretty school, and I would like to know how to stay focused there as well (due to the late night partying, stress, and endless amount of food at the cafe).

30bad is a HCRV (high carb, raw vegan) internet community which promotes a high carb raw lifestyle free of any animal products. Our forum does not tolerate encouragement of anything contrary to HCRV.

Today is my 5th day being vegan, and I'd say for about 80% of the time, I have eaten high carb low fat raw vegan. At home it's been fine, with little to no cravings of cooked food, and I'm usually pretty satisfied and stuffed with fruit. However, this past weekend was my mom's birthday, and she wanted to go to a Mexican Restaurant! A few weeks ago, I wouldn't have a problem with this whatsoever, but now that I'm vegan (struggling to be raw), there weren't many choices on…
