oh no! i ate 2700 calories in one day?

RAW (read RAW) Fruits and vegetables promote weight loss because they ...
•are very low in fat.
•are low in calories.
•are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals.
•eliminate wastes quickly and help reduce
cravings for sweets.
•keep your energy levels steady so you don't
become too hungry or too tired.
•carry off excess body acids, and are rich in vitamins,
minerals and enzymes that satisfy the body's nutrient requirements with less food.

If you overeat any type of foods, RAW fruits and veggies will have the least impact on gaining weight, But overindulgence isn't without consequence.

Some RAW foods like, broccoli, asparagus, celery, and strawberries may burn more calories processing them than the actual calorie content of the food itself., BUT not all fruit is equal in this manner. Tropical fruit and dried fruit are laden with sugar which is far too easily converted to blood sugar (subsequently increasing insulin and triggering fat storage). Liquid calories should be avoided (energy levels SPIKE!). Smoothies are the wrong way to get your veggies and fruit, and juicing is a HUGE mistake!

Eat the food raw and you'll eat less of it, have more balanced energy, and feel fuller on less.

Nuts are overrated and Almond milk should be drank in moderation. Nuts are too dense, pack A LOT of calories, are loaded with THE BAD FATS, and they don't satiate the appetite.

Fruit is thermogenic. You can eat as much of it as you want, it will get burnt off. You can't get fat from eating too much fruit. Never seen it.

^^ Tell me more about these nuts that are loaded with trans fats.

yeh i did an aqua aerobics class yesterday i felt amazing! walked abit too. just occured to me, i think from intuition maybe my body was greedy for the uncooked greens. i usually dont eat much raw vegies. usually i stirfry it or boil. but yeh i can get very used to eating so much vegies in a tall glass of smoothie!! ^^

Fruits contain calories. If you eat 3,000 calories of fruit, you still ate 3,000 calories.

Fruit is not magical.

oh wow i have never heard of TDEE before? mine is about 2600?

and i exercise about 3 times a week (about 40mins) on average. cant exercise too much i have lupus SLE (autoimmune disease, can put me in the hospital if over exercise triggers a flare up etc).

i dont know if i agree so much with the argument that if u eat too much fruits and veg u will get fat... i have never seen a fat raw food vegan who's doing it right... they eat like 5 bananas a day and huge portions of salad n veg etc lol!! but i am not raw nor vegan.

If you are burning 2600 calories a day and take in 2700 calories a day, you're going to gain weight. Sure, there is a lot of nutritional value to fruits and vegetables, but that doesn't negate the calories.

Fruits burn MORE calories than they actually contain. For this reason people that are on a mostly fruitarian diet can eats loads of fruit (over 3000 cals) and still be lean.

If I ate 2500 cals of standard American diet food, I would feel a lot fuller than if I ate 2500 cals from fruit only. I would need to eat more cals from fruit because my body is burning it off at a higher rate.
