Hi heidijane,

You said that there are times when you "mentally feel like 'enough, enough' fruits and thus feel the need to go to another category of a vegan food with a different look, texture, taste of nonsweet." Sounds like those are the times to reach for the greens (leafies, celery, etc.) and non-sweet fruits (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, etc.)! :)

You also said, "often am lookin for a heavier sturdier feelin upon which i can achieve by eatin an avocadoe that i just don't feel from fruits." You may wish to look at page 252 of The 80-10-10 Diet, where Dr. Graham says:

"Eventually, it is best to free yourself from the desire to experience a heavy feeling after a meal, as this is an indicator that the digestive system is being overworked. In order to feel satisfied, it is best to eat large amounts of sweet fruit, which may pass through your stomach quickly, but will satisfy true hunger for hours." p. 252

That said, avocado is not "bad" . . . it has it's place as long as you're keeping your total fat below 10%, which is kinda hard to do with more than a very small amount of avo.
