"I need to be pretty and funny and smart but I need to have quiet opinions and make meaningful art but I want to be reckless and wild and untamed I don't want only my tombstone remembering my name. I need to be patient and thoughtful and kind but nobody can be perfect without first losing their mind and I'm so scared because I'm full of this greed where I'd rather have what I want than be what I need."
Okokokok so this lifestyle=abundance. The coolest thing about fruit, is that when it's your main source of calories, you have to eat a lot. Our generation has been taught to deprive ourselves of the necessary nutrients we need to keep our bodies healthy and our minds sharp. With most diets and lifestyles the biggest concern is that you're eating too much. Too many calories, too much fat, too many carbs- the list goes on; however, the biggest problem people face with this lifestyle, is that they aren't eating enough calories. Honestly, I'm on a detox from hell right now, as my body is readjusting to this lifestyle. I'm tired and sore and my head hurts. This is my body flushing out all of the chemicals I can't pronounce from processed foods and french fries. The food most people eat normally can be compared to drugs, hence the withdrawal symptoms. But in the next week, my energy levels will spike again, I'll feel light on my feet, and my mind will be clear once again, and I cannot wait to have that feeling back. The best I've ever felt, was when my diet consisted of only fruits and vegetables. Carb up, baby. Simplify your diet. Eat one calorie foods instead of fifty calorie foods and your body will thank you. If you can't eat a food in its purest form, why eat it at all? I feel so sorry for people who think fruit makes them fat. I'm in love with eating 2,000+ calories a day in fruit and losing fat rather than restricting calories to 500 or less in protein shakes and bars and gaining. Find what works for you and do it.
