Reversing Diabetes & How to Open a Durian
Hope you had a terrific weekend!
Here is my promised video of myself and Greg (one of my classmates here at 105degrees) getting curious with opening a durian fruit. Have you ever tried one before? If so how do you eat yours? I think I might like to try mine in a smoothie or a pudding!
Also, one of my favourite films to watch is Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days and on Friday, I listened to this inspiring interview with Gabriel Cousens (one of the program leaders of the Reversing Diabetes program at the Tree of Life in Arizona) and wanted to share it with you.
Although this information isn’t all that new to me, I do love reminding myself why I am on this path with Raw Food and also how we can not only treat disease but also prevent it. This is of special interest to me, because my mother is pre diabetic and so many members on her side of the family are diabetic. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so so much for sharing this info with us. I have never even heard of a durian fruit before! I love how a healthy diet and exercise plan can change people’s health/life around. Hope you’re having fun at school!
Thanks Kilee. Yeah I had heard of them myself (heaps of raw foodies talk of them all the time) but to actually go and try one is another story!
Your incites and recipes are very important information for a healthy diet. What makes a meal raw? Is it actually not cooked at all? It has no taste? Is it organic? I have never tried durian fruti before. Does it have a sweet taste at all. Thank you. I look forward to your answers.

Hiya Sergio and welcome. I wrote quite a bit about “What is Raw?” here http://girlonraw.com/about-me/
And the durian fruit is kinda sweet but not too much.
for some reason the video says private?
Sorry bitt, I fixed it now!
Hehee cute durian video – one of my fave fruits. Did you like it? You didn’t show us your reaction
I know! I forgot to get Greg to film me with it. I wasn’t that keen on it but I will try it again for sure!
Love your video on opening a durian fruit. I’ve never tried one but it sure looked interesting.
Thanks Daneen! I’ve not forgotten your email will get to it as soon as I can!
wow, great videos. love the diabetes one; I’d love for them to do a bigger study and involve some physicians and diabetes specialists so that we can learn more about what actually happens physiologically and if going raw truly is a long term solution. Inspiring nonetheless. I’m having a day when being vegan, including raw, is hard because I’m feeling tired. Funny how I automatically link my emotional and physical state to food (i.e. i’m tired so it must be my food intake and energy output); don’t know if they are really linked that simplistically though…
