Mr Orvel Douglas Nutrition & Diet Specialist…
You will find some of the topics he covered within the last 18 months.
About Orvel Douglas Living in New York City since 1993. I am a Nutrition & Diet Specialist. I am a Fruitarian who experiences Superior health by only eating living plant foods. I am here to give information to all my friends about good Nutrition and Exercise. And maybe one day they will cross over & experience this superior feeling.
Nutrition and health The body doesn’t function on isolated nutrition. For nutrients to be beneficial it must come from a whole source and not extracted. They’re thousands of micro nutrients that work in synergy with each other. If you start extracting you will change the Chemistry of that particular nutrient you are extracting. A chain is as strong as it’s weakest link Benefits of fruits To feel the benefits of fruits one doesn’t need to scoff down fruits constantly. To feel full on fruits one must run on empty .
Living foods A living body needs living foods. It cannot survive on anything dead. The decomposing from dead foods have already started it’s just a slow process. If you plant a seed it will grow into something beautiful and if you bury a body it will produce maggots on the decaying flesh. Let that marinate, no pun intended Are fruits Acidic? All high watery fruits are Alkaline even if the fruit is Acidic before eaten. After Digestion is what counts and not before. When fruits have been assimilated it is the cellular waste that determines whether your lymphatic system will be oxygenated or stagnant. An oxygenated Lymphatic system means the cellular waste was an Alkaline Ash and a Stagnant Lymphatic system means the cellular waste was an Acidic ash. These are important measures to measure health or toxicity. For the ones who don’t know what the Lymphatic system is it is the sewer system of the body.
Thought of the day what if I told you that a so-called balanced diet is balancing Disease. Have you ever questioned who make up these rules? You got it the Government! Do you think they have our best interest at heart?

The bottom line is you can never lack anything on a fruitarian lifestyle because everything that is in the soil as been absorbed by the tree arteries, tree trunk, branches and fruit.
Do we need 102 minerals Why are we the only ones who are trying to get 102 minerals! This doesn’t make sense to me! It seems like we believe everything we hear or read! Everything I write about health you should also question it by using your own critical thinking skills! 102 minerals don’t resonate with me. We are beings that do not need a complex diet! Simplicity is the key! Nature is very simple! You don’t see the animals in the wild searching for 102 minerals they just eat the diet that was designed for their species and they thrive with no deficiencies! But we silly humans are trying to get everything that man told us we need! We don’t even care if the minerals are rock minerals we just seem to care about that we are getting it! There are 1000s of nutrients on the planet! Do we need them all? No, we don’t! The human machine is very sophisticated and it will run optimum on less! The key to being healthy is to eat simply and not complex! A human machine is a complex machine but it runs on simple ingredients. If you are the type who are taking supplements or trying to get 102 minerals and you are still sick it’s time to change or rethink your regiment. When your diet is simple how nature intended you will see ailments starts to disappear in days rather than years! This something to think about. Everyone who has done my fruit challenges starts to feel better within days! How is this possible? They are not ingesting 102 minerals but they are feeling way better. You should all ponder on this and ask yourself this question is less really more!
If you have Cancer or a loved one as cancer please read this so you are not going into treatment blindly!
Thank you
I have said it a 1000 times supplements are a waste of money. I wanted to update Orvel Douglas on my no vitamin challenge. I had been taking several daily.. But when I ran out of a couple of them about a month or more ago- you suggested I give them all up completely. Since my money is funny right now- I did. The results are– I feel just as good without them!!!! Maybe better. And one of my main indicators that whole foods is working for me is my nails!!! Ok I know they are not long … #Yet. But I’ve struggled my entire life with very short brittle nails– no white of the nail showing at all. Constantly breaking off. Very thin. I was taking some of those vitamins to help with my skin, hair and nails. Biotin I think it was… ANYWAY… Yea- my nails are growing! I know it doesn’t seem like much but trust me!!! I can see some white. They are strong and hard now, not thin anymore. I’m excited. Thanks for the advice! And you saved me some money.#PlantsAndFruitsWork!
What i eat on a fruitarian Lifestyle I’m getting many inbox messages asking me what type of fruits I eat, how much I eat, do I eat a certain type of fruit which as more amino acids to build muscle, how many calories am I eating in a day, do I drink water?
Here is my answer.
I eat the fruit that I am craving for at that moment.I eat until I’m satisfied whether it’s 2 mangoes or 10 then I’ll stop. I don’t eat by the clock, I eat when I’m hungryI never ever count calories or try to reach a caloric quota.Their is no such thing as a super fruit they are all super in their own right. All fruits contains amino acids which are the building blocks of life. I limit my fatty fruits like Avocado and coconuts. This is what keeps me ripped all year round. My aim is to keep my carbs high, fat and amino acids (protein)super low.Since becoming a fruitarian I have found that I do not need to drink water because of my high intake of watery fruits. I never get thirsty when eating fruits especially in the summer months.
The only time I ever get thirsty is if I eat a raw meal.
It’s that simple. SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY
My take on water This is my take on water.
This is why I recommend distilled water over any type of water in this feast, that’s if you you need to drink water! I don’t drink water but I eat my water from fresh organic ripe fruits! Prior to
A place of critical thinking and not from science. It’s time for you all to think about things and not do something because everyone is doing it because you think it’s right. Water is on suppose to transport the minerals that are biodegradable and in a
Bio degradable

And in a hex formation
This is why I said I use distilled and add key limes I’m at lease getting an abundance of neg hydrogen ions which is the fuel the body runs off of. Industrial companies that use water for operations of their machines
Sometimes you just need common sense to figure things out for yourself without looking for an answer from science
We are all exactly the same when it comes to what we

Strength training is something that should be done by everyone especially as you get older. This will help you to age gracefully. The reality of the matter is that if you don’t do some kind of strength training you are going to get weaker and weaker as you age. Can you imagine that you are unable to do a simple tasks that you always took for granted like opening a jar of pickle. If you don’t use it you will lose it. Real talk Does the earth really lack minerals Ok so I’m tired of hearing how the earth lacks minerals and we all need to supplement with something. Now my question is if the earth lacks minerals and we must take supplements where are they getting the ingredients to make these supplements which contains everything we suppose to need.
Don’t believe the hype! Yes the earth may not be mineral rich like thousands of years ago but it’s absurd to think that you can’t get everything you need. Do we see animals in there natural habitat deficient in minerals? No! Nutrition is very simple, it’s not rocket science but we silly humans make it complex. We are the sickest species in the animal kingdom And the reason for that is that man thinks he can improve on nature. We as humans are all designed to eat exactly the same as each other but we don’t. All the animals of the same species around the world eats exactly the same. There is no one to tell them what to eat it’s a natural instinct that is blue printed in their DNA. We are so far removed from nature that this blueprint we were programmed with as been lost in the hype of the modern world. Everyone is trying to supply themselves with individual nutrients so they are eating this food to get that nutrient and they still end up being depleted. The body is very unique the way it works it’s just not a cut and dry situation. My advice is eat simple. Eat foods that will keep your body in an elimination stage. Eat alkaline forming foods, exercise, practice stress relief.
STOP LETTING PEOPLE THINK FOR YOU. AND START THINKING FOR YOURSELF.
Tip for fat loss
One of the most easiest and quickest way to lose fat is to
workout first thing in the morning on an empty stomach
The reason behind this.
You have been asleep for the last 7-8 hrs and carbohydrate in your system are very low at this time of the day. This is a perfect opportunity for your body to use fat as fuel rather than the preferred fuel your body would use which is carbohydrates.
If you have breakfast even something light your body will use what you ate for breakfast for energy. Fat is the last place that your body wants to turn to for fuel. That’s why you may have a little fat loss at first but not enough to get you where you want to be.
I have been following these principles for 15 years, that is one of the reasons i stay lean year round. I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life at almost 53 years old. Diet is the number one factor.Now you know my secret. Give it a try you don’t have anything to lose but Fat (PUN INTENDED) LOL
I’m going to say it again doing traditional cardio will not get you toned as fast as
The reason for this is that traditional cardio uses a particular kind of muscle

Iron deficiency Many people are deficient in Iron so they eat loads of red meat, liver, chicken and other animal proteins to get enough Iron. This type of Iron is easily absorbed but
Iron: The Double-Edged Sword
Iron encourages the formation of cancer-causing free radicals. Of course, the body needs a certain amount of iron for healthy blood cells. But beyond this rather small amount, iron becomes a dangerous substance, acting as a catalyst for the formation of free radicals. Because of this, research studies have shown that higher amounts of iron in the blood mean higher cancer risk.
Once excess iron is absorbed by the digestive tract, the body stores it. Most of us accumulate much more iron than we need. In spite of the advertising from iron supplement manufacturers, “iron overload” is much more common in America than iron deficiency. Studies have shown that major contributors to iron excess are taking vitamin and mineral supplements that contain iron, excess consumption of red meat, and, to some extent, eating manufactured foods that have had iron added artificially. The iron present in these sources is highly absorbable. The iron in red meat, in particular, is a highly absorbable form (heme iron); however, iron from vegetarian food sources (nonheme iron) may prove to be a better choice because, while it isn’t absorbed as well as heme iron, it is sufficient to promote adequate iron levels without encouraging iron stores above the recommended range provides adequate iron, without the risk of overload. A diet high in fruits and veggies will meet these needs

PHYSICIANS COMMITTEE FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE Why are people getting Arthritis Have you noticed that people are getting Arthritis, Hip replacements, Knee replacements at an earlier age. I will give you my thoughts on this phenomenon that only use to strike people in their 70s-80s.

I’m going to tell you that Diet as everything to do with this plague of Arthritis, Hip replacements, and Knee replacements. The type of foods we eat
( The acidity or alkalinity of a chemical can often be measured in terms of its pH, (POTENTIAL HYDROGEN) which is a scale that runs from 0 to 15. A pH of 7 is a neutral pH, which means that there are equal amounts of acidic and basic compounds. Alkaline substances have a pH that is higher than 7, whereas acidic substances have a pH below 7.)

Alkaline forming foods are found in all fruits and vegetables that is why at least 80% of your diet should come from this source. When your body is getting enough of these foods the blood becomes highly oxygenated, Every cell is getting all the nourishment it needs, it helps or even may reverse health issues you may be suffering from. Your body accepts Alkaline foods with open arms but with acidic forming

Can the body use protein The body cannot use protein it can only use amino acids. When the vegetarian animals that people eat these animals are eating amino acids which are all found in all plant life. Once ingested these amino acids are formed into protein.(SOMETHING THE BODY CANNOT USE)When humans eat animals they are eating protein that was formed from the biological process from eating amino acids. The body cannot use protein so it as to break down the protein to its simplest form which is amino acids. Within the protein are saturated fats cholesterol and all the undesirable
Do we really need to take B12 B12 is a gut issue for one to correct a deficiency one needs to clean the gut to create an environment for nutrients to be absorbed.
The truth about low carb diets When carbohydrate intake or utilization is insufficient to provide glucose to the cells that rely on it as an energy source, ketone bodies are formed from fatty acids. An increase in circulating ketones can disturb the body’s acid-base balance, causing metabolic acidosis. Evidence suggests that even mild acidosis can have potentially deleterious consequences over the long run, including low blood phosphate levels, resorption of calcium from bone, increased risk of osteoporosis, and an increased propensity to form kidney stones.
It’s not what you eat its what you expel It’s not what you eat it’s what you expel! It doesn’t matter the amount of healthy foods you eat that contains an impressive nutrition profile it’s not going to do your body any good! What’s the point of trying to get all the nutrients on the planet when your body cannot absorb it. Detoxification is the key to health. You have to remove the obstructions to be healthy! Any amount of nutrition will not do that. When people decide to fast they will say oh I need this nutrient and that nutrient while I’m doing this because I will be deficient. If you are trying to get nutrients while fasting you are defeating the purpose. The definition of fasting means you shouldn’t be eating anything. Any nutrients taken in will defeat the purpose of cleansing this includes minerals. This is why alkaline/ spring/well water etc etc should never be used because the fasting will be compromised because now you have minerals in your system which is cell food. This will halt the detoxification. If one is doing a water fast Distilled water should be used because it is pure H2O which means it contains 0 minerals (CELL FOOD). Now I know some one is going to comment distilled water is acidic! Before you do that let me answer your question here. We need a balance of about 80% Alkaline 20% Acid in our body to keep the homeostasis. If your aim is to try and get 100% Alkaline in your body you are going the wrong way about it.
Fruitarian lifestyle is not about fasting I am seeing many people fasting for long periods of time while they are on fruits. They have no energy and getting very strong Detox symptoms. Let me set the record straight. The Orvel Douglas 31 day fruit feast as nothing to do with intermittent fasting, Dry fasting, water fasting. This fruit feast is about eating when you’re hungry and stop when you are satisfied. You can eat as much fruit as you like this is why its called a fruit feast. People on this feast are fasting and getting sick. Dry fasting and water fasting should only be done by people who have followed a raw diet for a long time. This isn’t something one should jump into coming from a cooked diet. When you have followed a raw diet for a while your body will naturally do this! If you are forcing your body day in and day out you will cause more harm than good. Their isn’t any rush to cleanse your body. It took you years to get there and it will take you years to undo the damage. Nice and slow is the pace to go. Please don’t follow what i do. I naturally do what my body asks for. I’ve been at this for many years. Over the last 12 years i’ve done water fasts and ate clean this is why i can operate with lots of energy without consuming a lot of food. If you are becoming rail thin, no muscle tone, no energy you are causing your body harm.Does food make you healthy or detoxification. It’s not what you eat it’s what you expel! It doesn’t matter the amount of healthy foods you eat that contains an impressive nutrition profile it’s not going to do your body any good! What’s the point of trying to get all the nutrients on the planet when your body cannot absorb it. Detoxification is the key to health. You have to remove the obstructions to be healthy!
