    For the people who have actually lost a decent amount of weight on Here have you seen anyone lose eating 4000 calories of fruits n veggies or have you ever tried it its a big thing know days Go to youtube Type in freelee the banana girl or easyraw or getyourfruit Its on the raw food boards to eat as much calories as you can even stuff yourself if you have to they recommended 4000 calories and up 2500 is their minimum to aim for if you cant get in 4000

    I don't have to know anything about the raw food movement to know that 4000 cals is much more than most people need. The fact that the calories are from fruit makes no difference. Sounds like the person you mention is doing people a great disservice if she recommends that everyone eat that much.

    There's no trick or way around it, you simply need to eat at a deficit. Set up MFP the way it is meant to be used and it will work for you.

    Freelea and her partner Durian Rider are a couple of drop outs from Queensland who spout unsubstantiated rubbish on YouTube about fruitarian raw food diets. I'm not sure about her but he is an endurance distance cyclist so burns a heap of calories whatever the source.

    They are both as mad as cut snakes so I would ignore their advice and eat sensibly instead.

    If I ate 4000 calories of fruits and vegetables every day...

    ...I would never be able to leave my bathroom.


    Maybe that's how it works...your body isn't able to digest all of the calories before the explosive conclusion.

    Once when travelling by car in a giant Mexico road trip I became afraid of the milk straight from the cow, and the chorizo pizza and relied solely on the exotic fruits we found along the way at open market stops, hotels salads, room service, and families houses. I ate sooooooooo much of it perhaps that cal amount and I did for sure lose weight when all that fruit caught up to me and I got a bad case of the runs. I missed an entire "port" of our road trip a weeks worth of Puerto Vallarta due to illness and was significantly thinner afterwards. All in all I am of the opinion that too much of any single thing can become bad for you if abused. I think the inventor of the word "moderation" agrees with me.

    IN THE RAW food Community They recommended 4000 plus calories for steady weightloss

    Is that true? Why? DOes it take that many cals to properly nutritionize (word existence) ones self on all the raw foods?

    This is from the banana girl's website:
    An average day might be:

    Breakfast: Datorade: 20-30 dates blended on high speed with around 1.2-1.5 litres of water plus cinnamon to taste. Around 1300 calories

    Lunch: 8-10 Mangoes/half a large jakfruit/3 pineapples

    Dinner: A baby green salad with 5 chopped up bananas and 5 dates. Put aside some dates and banana and blend as sauce.

    To me this sounds ridiculously expensive and way short on protein and fat. About the best I can say for it is it probably wouldn't kill you.

    OP, I don't eat raw, but I do eat a lot of fruit, and the fruit calories are the same as any other calories. Fruit is what is most likely to put me over my calories within my typical diet, because I really love it. I have to count calories, and 4000 calories would absolutely have me gaining weight. (I can't imagine getting to 4000 calories on fruit-even the days where I feel I've really blown it, I don't get that high, and those days include vegan pizzas or high calorie foods.)

    On a side note, that much fruit is terrible for your teeth.

    A lot of people like it raw, but I don't understand what this has to do with weight loss?
