A Mental Breakthrough re Overts

I've been feeling some doubts about my beliefs re overts (high fat fruits, nuts).
Now I've revised my attitude somewhat, and am feeling much happier as a result.

I was fortunate to read the following thread on rawvegantalk a day or so ago:
http://www.rawvegantalk.com/forum/topics/801010-vs-9055 .
Please see my correspondence with Adam on this thread. Here's my side of it:

SKIRMISH IN THE SUPERMARKET

As I have said before, this campaign has been remarkably easy so far: the decision to go raw, made in a moment of sickness, has carried me on without another thought being necessary, for over 6 weeks. Internally, in my mind, there was perfect peace and harmony. The very word 'campaign' seemed out of place. No effort was required.

A week or so ago, I was standing in the supermarket waiting for the guys to cut me up a watermelon.
My eye fell on the salad section. Su...

During the Eighth Week of LFRV

Things are continuing almost exactly as during the seventh week.
Let's look at what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast of grapes as usual, with a tomato.
Lunch of one quarter watermelon as usual.
Supper spread over the afternoon and evening: one papino, two smallish mangoes, four or five tomatoes, one Brazil nut, half a dozen or so small sour figs.... No greens today thank you!

(sour figs - Memidex dictionary/thesaurus  20 Jan 2011 ... "sour figs" is a plural form of "so...

My Summer Start : Report after 4 weeks:

The last week, and indeed the whole 4 weeks, have been satisfactory from 2 points of view:

1. The ingestion of harmful, cooked food has been stopped.
2. The work of elimination, the removal of harmful accumulations, is proceeding well. That could take years to complete, but already some signs of improvement are appearing:

- A partial recovery of vitality. My movements (arms, legs, body) seem freer and lighter. Hot days do not reduce me to exhaustion a...

January 2011.

I was about 99.7% vegan during 2010.

So when people were talking about New Year's resolutions I thought: why not tighten up on strictness? Forego the occasional ice-cream cone. Refuse an offer of potato salad with delicious mayonaise on it. Aim at 99.97% vegan! Then I might still have two ice-creams in the year...

But on 12 January I woke up feeling really terrible. No apparent reason. Neuralgia in my head, a bit feverish, no possibility of eating. Maybe that's when the penny...
