Sounds to me like you are not getting enough calories. Eating more bananas and sweet fruits can help you with this one. Eat those before eating acid fruits. Also eat lots of green leafy veggies. Eat lots of juicy biological fruits too. This includes cucumber and tomatoes. Yes, cheese will do it to you big time. Any dairy will. How much water are you drinking and what type? Are you eating lots of nuts and avocadoes? -- Peace be with you, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Yes, the mango pit is really that big!<G> Cut down one side, then peel that side like a potato. Then peel the bigger piece left and cut around the pit. You'll be able to feel the pit as you cut. It's too bad Mother Nature made the mango pits so big, but I guess She knew what She was doing.<G> Congratulations on your raw diet progress....I'll be watching with interest for answers to your Champion juicer question. I've had that question myself for some time. Sharyn From: Donna [mailto:donnachagnon@...] Can someone please tell me the proper way to cut a mango?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Don, I know I'm not drinking nearly enough water. If I'm driving I will stop in the store and get Poland Spring, Monadnock or some other bottled water. At home I drink from the faucet - I live out in the country and it is an artesian well. I was thinking I wasn't getting enough calories either but then i feel full - bloated some times and just don't want to eat. I eat bananas, mango, dates, raisins, manna bread, fresh salads (tomatoes, Romaine lettuce, baby portebella mushrooms, cucumbers, green onion). I have a Tahini Milk drink about once a day or every other day. For breakfast I will typically have a " fruit salad " with mango, bananas and avocado or I'll make a smoothie with banana and some other fruit and a little flax seed. I'll snack on apples, oranges, bananas, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, dried fruit, etc. throughout the day. I'm itemizing things I have eaten throughout the last few weeks. Daily my consumption isn't that high. Like I said, fruit salad or a smoothie for breakfast, lunch is usually a couple pieces of fruit or a baggie full of raw veggies (celery, carrots, cukes, bell peppers) and assorted raw nuts. Dinner is typically a salad and Tahini Milk and a smoothie or vegetable juice. Donna Hi Donna, What exactly are you doing? What are you eating and in what proportion?
