I am hearing a lot of people saying that starches are a back up in times when you can not get fruit. Personally I would say for anyone who is serious about staying on a raw food programme like 801010 you should not consider starches as being part of your diet in anyway.
I have consistenly heard the excuses about there being insufficient quantities of ripe fruit around but this never matches the reality. The shop you are buying starches from, especially if it is a supermarket in the UK, most likely has an abundance of edible ripe fruit for a number of people for a good length of time. This is obvious to you when you are raw but when you are back to eating starches and other cooked food the fruit often becomes a 2nd or 3rd choice when it should always be first.
As soon as you add starches back into your diet it is the inevitable start of a downward spiral in which fruit becomes less and less appealing and cooked food becomes a bigger part of your life robbing you of that extra level of vitality that comes with fruit. Once you get hooked again your creative monkey mind will go into overdrive creating excuses for making starch the mainstay of the diet again.
Fruit will never be as stimulating as starches, refined sugar or other foods and they will seem dull and plain in comparison. I often hear people say that fruit is boring and really they are just reacting to the fact that fruit is one of the few foods they eat with no stimulants added.
Leave the stimulants and starches behind and make fruit your fuel for a stimulating and enjoyable life. There is an abundance of backups, dried fruit, juices, smoothies, frozen fruit, canned fruit and many others. For a starchy hit try some freeze dried peas or sweetcorn if you have access to that.
Cheers me dears,
