Detoxification - a Path to Health on a Fruitarian Diet

Detoxification or detox is the process of removal of toxic substances from a living organism, and additionally can refer to the period of withdrawal during which an organism returns to homeostasis after long-term use of an addictive substance.

Detoxification can occur in many different forms including but not limited to acne breakouts, low energy, headaches, cold sores, mouth sores, diarrhea, high fever, all sorts of temporary skin rashes, coated tongue, mucus discharge through the nose, mouth or eyes, irritability, cold symptoms, etc.

Detoxification sometimes manifests as an autointoxication, caused by poisoning one's body with internally released toxins as a result of insufficient food intake. In this case the body is breaking down massive amounts of body fat for fuel and therefore toxins stored in the fat are being released too quickly.

You can't eat a diet that is "too clean" -- this is a myth. But you can undereat and therefore start experiencing constant "detox" symptoms and low energy. If you are convinced that you need to detoxify, go on a fast under a proper supervision, otherwise -- eat enough to support your lifestyle and goals.

Try not to sabotage your detoxification attempts by going back to foods that you are trying to detoxify from.

When you make a big change in your diet -- expect some adverse reactions, stick with it, and have faith from other people's experiences that it will get better.

Unless you have grain intolerance, why would a runner remove grains from their diet? If Fruitarian is the best diet for runners, why aren't the East Africans or Paula Radcliffe on such diets? I do not ask this in a condescending way, just playing devils advocate.

Btw, I am gluten intolerance and cannot function on most non-gluten grains either so loading up on Fruit has given me my running back, but I am just not yet convinced to go totally Raw even though u are very convincing.

Its actually funny. I have a recurring scab on only one side of my nose. It has been recurring off and on for since I could remember. 10 yrs or so. When I eat clean, it goes away. But if I go on vacation like Vegas and eat like a pig and get off my fruit/veggie diet, it comes right back. Same with a recurring toothaches.

Thank you for this video! Once I stopped drinking tea with caffeine and I had major headaches for about three days and it went away the same when I stopped eating processed foods I feel alot better now and having to go through that pain is a definite incentive to not go back.

i am doing the fruitarian thing too atm and it's going pretty well except some bloating and i am on the toilet like 10 times a day, up from like 3 times before. I did lot's of raw vegetables before that but not so much fruit, maybe 1kg fruit a day or so. Also after eating a certain amount of fruit i get a burning sensation in the stomach which goes away after 5 minutes. Thats about it.

Thanks for the video, it helps me to stay put and not giving up !
