Are You Eating Too Much Fruit? by Paul Nison,

Because eating too much fruit is very common, I am often asked, "What is too much fruit?" If you take in more sugar than you're going to burn, that is too much. If one does choose to eat a lot of fruit he/she should make sure to keep very active, but a person shouldn't keep active just because he wants to eat a lot of fruit.

In the first year of eating healthy with mostly raw foods, adding raw foods, including fruit, to your diet should be very easy and fun. A person could eat just about anything in any amount, and, chances are, will be doing much better than before starting to eat a healthy raw diet.
But as time goes on, we have to simplify our diets and also reduce the amounts. There is no doubt in my mind that leafy greens and non-sweet fruits are the best for our bodies. Sweet fruit is okay also, but if you eat too much it can be dangerous.

Something else to think about is the quality of what you are eating. The higher quality the food, the less we'll need because we'll be getting so many nutrients in the high quality foods. When eating lower quality foods we eat much more because we're not giving the body what it needs, so it craves more food.

Organic whole, ripe fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds are all that is needed for the body to thrive. Once people realize that, the next question is how much or how little is enough. The more the body has to work, the more stress it has. Stress equals disease! The more we eat, the more stress we will have.  Eat the high quality foods in small amounts and that will be enough, and will also help keep stress levels low.


Energy and Food:

At first we need to eat more food to hold back the toxins from coming out too fast. Once we are somewhat clean, we can eat less and do more. We get energy from food in one form, but with digestion, we use more energy than we take in, especially if we overeat, or eat very low quality foods.

Most people eat too much sugar, which can be the cause of many problems including addiction and disease.  A great book, "The pH Miracle," talks about this. This book has become one of the best selling books on our website: www.TheRawWorld.com. People who follow the low sugar, raw high quality food diets are getting great results.

I suggest everyone try a low sugar diet, and see how great it can work.
