Then I don't have a craving for carrot juice as often.

If you find that you eat more fruit and don't have any reaction, is that okay?
[Aajonus]
Yes, but a lot of people can't determine on their own when they're emotionally involved in their own issues and their own stuff. They don't see that they're having a problem, like this girl doesn't see that she's having a problem, but everybody around her has commented about it to me. So, she's not able to see that it's too much.
And I tried to have a conversation with her about it and she got very upset, said, "I feel great, what do you mean? This is a great diet!". She said, "my raw diet is great." Said I don't know how you can eat what you do because I wouldn't be enjoying it, I love the taste of my food.
Um, well, I would say, you know, let somebody around who is close to you knows you be, uh, be a mirror or a sounding board. Um, you know, I can be clear about it now because I've been there and, and I'm removed from it. But when I'm there, you know, like last summer I tried to do a lot of fruits for week and. I didn't see it at first, but all of a sudden, one day I realized I was getting irritable again, getting too excited to your roles and sexual all of it.

So, can I try adding more fruit
[Aajonus]
Well, I would say let somebody around you who's close to you be a mirror, be s sounding board. I can be clear about it now because I've been there and I'm removing from it, but when I'm there, like last summer I tried to do a lot of summer for a week and I didn't see it at first, but all of a sudden one day I noticed I was getting irritable again. Too excited, too irritable, too sexual. All of it. Of course, I'm a diabetic so.

Doesn't fruit help with weight gain?
[Aajonus]
Not necessarily. Usually, a lot of fruit interferes with weight gain because it breaks the sugars down and makes them into fuel instead of allowing muscle. She's not good with it. I've seen only a few people who can eat a lot of fruit, maybe a fruitarian diet and function, and think and they do very well, but it's very few.
Well, one of them was a 70-year-old man and about two years ago he started having problems, so he started eating meat. So, you know, the others aren't that old yet, he the oldest.
When he hits 70 years old, I think David's gonna have a problem. 60-65. I can't say for sure, but he has that kind of personality that has that kind of physical chemistry [unclear].
