Hi Rob
>Anyone on the fast 5 do this on a plant based diet, like the one Dr Furhman sudgests?
> Fruit,Veggies,Greens, and beans, no meat.
I follow the fast 5 and am a plant-based Vegan however I do not follow the Furman diet (Eat to Live) strictly. Meaning that while I do my best to make fruits, veggies, greans and beans the mainstays of my diet, I also do enjoy protein isolate & concentrate powders (such as hemp, pea, rice, buckwheat, and soy), "meat" analogs (made from ingredients such as TVP, soy protein, wheat gluten and konjac) and whole grains, too. I'd like to have less of the latter (proteins & grains) but I do feel that they meet a need for me (my activities include martial arts, weights, running, and yoga).
> Im starting it right now.
> I was fruitarian/raw for 2 years and was on top of the world,felt better than I ever have, and >maintained 160 lbs.
That's impressive. While I am probably 50% fruitarian/raw (even more in the warmer weather), I never have made a fulltime shift. Maybe if I lived in a place like Hawaii or California, I would try but here in NYC I feel that during the cold seasons I am not suited for it?
Maybe that's just me though...

How did you fall off? Off of fruitarian/raw? Or off vegan?
> Animals who eat meat have 3 feet of digestive tract, we have 20.
> Meat has no fiber. It just sits there in your digestive tract moving slowly and >rotting.Fruit/Veggies move thru quickly with no complications.
> Anyway I wont get carried away with meat, this is just my personal belief.
> I was just wondering if anyone here is on a plant based diet on the fast 5?
I agree with you on the above although I vegan more for personal ethics & morals; is that a factor for you, too?
Best of luck
Paul
