Interesting. I have already known some of your recommendations and I think I will check out some of the others as well. I read quite some things on human nutrition and how it affects our health. I must admit I am just a little bit sceptical about eating only raw fruits. Maybe if you live in the climate that provides you with fresh fruits all year around. Fruits are definitely a huge part of my diet in summer, but now, in winter time, with temperatures falling bellow freezing point, I just don't feel like cutting up a watermelon. My main rule of thumb when it comes to food is ‘eat organic and, above all, local and, of course, as unprocessed as possible’. We just don't get much fruit here during the three winter months.
Just curious, what was your diet like before switching to fruitarianism? SAD? In that case I totally believe you went through a personal renaissance after the switch, cause that diet is exactly what it says it is – sad. 😏
Looking forward to learning more about your views on nutrition.

I’d like to start with a few things that are helpful for you to consider:
Before switching to fruitarian, I was vegan for 6 months. Prior to that I was a fast-food junkie!
Thanks for replying. Of course, I'm aware that cooking is also a form of processing, that's why I went with ‘as unprocessed as possible’. 😉
What I wanted to say was that I personally see that depending on the season different food appeals to me.
Originally (growing up and way into young adulthood) my diet was pretty lamentable. I was never into fast-food, but I ate a lot of ‘whites’, above all highly processed sugar and flour (a sweet tooth at its best, or should I say at its worse). I could eat sweets all year around and all day long. I did notice, however, that once you change your eating habits (for me that meant eliminating any sugars that are not already naturally present in foods, as well as milk and meat) and your body has had the time to cleanse itself, you start to feel your body and its needs, also the nutritional ones. So, I usually just listen to it and eat what ‘it’ wants. And that usually turns out to be quite healthy stuff.
I'll check your previous posts when I get a chance. Will have to pick up the kids from school soon, but first I have to prepare some healthy snacks for them. 😉
Preparing healthy snacks for the kids... how sweet :) ty for the info and comment; you will get so much from the post :)
