5 “fruit sugar” myths that are keeping active people under fueled, sluggish and constantly sore! 🍉

I eat as much fruit as I want every day and I feel light, hydrated, healthy and incredibly energized!

Actually I used to suffer from chronic fatigue before I was able to run. I used to have digestive issues, candida and hormonal issues before I got back to balance. And I used to be overweight before I looked and felt younger than ever before.

Same was the case of Harriet, the wonderful human being who created this retreat. She used to be overweight and sedentary as a young woman while at over 50 she is running over 300km ultra marathons.

After years of having ‘just’ fruits almost all day, every day, the only side effect is having so much energy 💃🏻

Eating this way simplifies food and life so much, is so easy for my digestion and for my body to absorb nutrients, and is so easy to replenish, train more and recover fast

“Too much” sugar is indeed bad for you, though it is almost impossible to get too much sugar from the consumption of fresh fruit.
Eating a diet of mostly fruit, including generous amounts of fresh sweet fruit, does not create high blood sugar … When the system is not gummed up with excess fat, the sugar from even “high-glycemic” fruit moves easily in and then out of the blood”
The 80/10/10 Diet

Nobody switches to raw food and achieves instant enlightenment the next morning 😂... But stick with this lifestyle for a bit, and a quiet shift happens.
It’s a gradual clearing.

Day by day, as your body stops wrestling heavy, processed meals, the fog lifts.
Your digestion lightens, your energy sparks, and you notice a mental clarity and peace you didn’t know you were missing.

Living raw food restores your body’s natural, balanced environment—and real health comes back online.
..Which is where the emotional plot twist comes in! 😅

When you stop using heavy, cooked comfort foods to numb out after a hard day, things get interesting.

You realize 80% of late-night snacking wasn’t hunger—it was stress, boredom, unmet needs, or habit.

Cravings pop up, old emotions surface, and food attachments become almost funny in how obvious they are.

Transitioning to a raw lifestyle isn’t just about eating fruit; it’s a mindset and emotional journey.

That’s exactly why we created the FREE 5-Day Closer to RAW Challenge! 🍉

We aren’t demanding overnight perfectionism or an all-or-nothing approach.

We’re giving you a realistic, step-by-step space to experiment, learn, and navigate the transition with real support from the best teachers.

I very often heard it said that when we blend our food, we lose more than 85% of the nutrients.

How amazing it would be to have a method of eliminating 85% of the calories from our food while making a delicious smoothie!

But if I lost 85% of the calories, that would just be great, for some people, but horrible for others.

Let’s see what’s Dr. Graham’s answer on this:

When we blend, eventually those antioxidants get damaged or used up. We have all noticed that when we blend food in a Vitamix or similar blender, it changes color, or oxidizes, fairly quickly.
If we did the exact same process but with a stick blender (also called an “immersion blender”), we can see that we don’t lose as many antioxidants.

But what about the fiber, water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals? All of these nutrients are all still in the smoothie, essentially unchanged. Did we lose 85% of the nutrients? No!

Which Nutrients Are Actually Lost by Blending?
When we blend for 2 minutes, certainly some nutrients are lost. Could we have lost 85% of the protein, the fiber, the water, the carbs? None of that could have possibly happened.

Every time you eat some berries, have a salad, eat a mango or some melon, you’re taking in tons of antioxidants because fruits and vegetables are the highest in antioxidants of all foods.

What I’m encouraging you to do really is just keep your head on straight. Be willing to listen to what people tell you. But then question the material, even if it comes from me—and ask yourself if what you heard could possibly be true?” Dr. Graham / Health Coach

Dr. Graham, the father of the modern RAW vegan movement, is working hand in hand with us to create RAW Nature Retreat because he wants to offer the most personalized experience to fitness oriented people.

When I first transitioned to a raw vegan lifestyle, I was, frankly, exhausting to be around at dinner tables.

I was so blown away by how clean, light, and energizing the 80/10/10 diet felt that I wanted to “save” everyone in my life. I preached over holiday meals. I pointed out the heavy oils in cooked dishes, debated my friends over restaurant dinners, and tried to convince anyone who would listen that they needed to change how they ate.

I thought I was helping. In reality, I was just making the people I loved feel judged.

Looking back, navigating social gatherings on a raw food diet requires empathy, not arguments. If I could do it all over again, here is how I would handle those moments:
* Stop preaching entirely: Nobody has ever permanently changed their lifestyle because someone debated them over a plate of food.
* Choose gentle consistency over conflict: Real inspiration doesn’t come from unsolicited advice; it comes from your own quiet energy, vibrant health, and kindness.
* Focus on connection, not the plates: Family dinners are about being together. Now, I simply bring a massive bowl of tree-ripened fruit or a fresh, beautiful salad, eat happily, and enjoy being present with the people I care about.

Learning how to handle non-raw family gatherings, social pressure, and eating out without creating friction is one of the hardest parts of living a raw vegan lifestyle. It requires real-world social-emotional skills, not just nutritional theory.

That is why during our 5-day RAW Nature Retreat in Barcelona (October 21–25), we dedicate specific sessions to Social Skills Theory & Practice hosted by Dr. Douglas Graham and Harriet Kjær.

We don’t just focus on what goes into your bowl—we break down how to handle real-world social pressure, stay consistent, and protect your peace without alienating your friends and family.

How do you handle family dinners or eating out on a raw lifestyle these days?

Do you still catch yourself wanting to convince people, or have you found a gentler way?

Let’s talk in the comments below.

There’s a reason why you haven’t reached your peak energy level and it’s not because you need a better supplement

It’s because you need to do things easier for yourself so you stop losing energy, in the first place

For me mango was one of the most important foods that helped me get from slow difficult digestion that would use most of my energy instead of supporting its creation to the most energetic human being I ever was

Because mango is a very satiating, satisfying, nourishing, hydrating, and versatile fruit, in my opinion

Raw Nature Retreat we offer Spanish Organic mango in so many ways, so you can experience and learn different ways to cut it, different textures, different flavors, different presentations.

The Hedgehog method starts to become the most used and fun method to cut a mango, and honestly is my favorite and I’m still excited every time I cut a mango into cubes.

Harriet loves to eat her mango WHOLE (it’s impossible to resist not to join her)

* Note, the organic mangos are usually matured on the tree and ripen in the warm shinny Spanish sun

The Catalan flag strawberry, mango, pineapple salad was my invention, and I’m so proud of it

You have no idea what you lose if you haven’t tried yet the orange mango smoothie/ juice

The mango, pineapple, grapes, strawberries fruit salad dinner appetizer

Tomato, mango, pineapple, arugula salsa on top of the cucumber noodles, topped with stuffed mushrooms. OMG, what a satisfying dinner!

Whole mango cubed for breakfast joining the watermelon.

Papaya, mango, seeds crust pie was a special treat to celebrate a birthday party.

RAW Nature Retreat’s famous Spanish bowl packed with papaya, mango salad

Our guests enjoyed this satisfying and special RAW 80/10/10 dinner.

Papaya, mango, pineapple, mint, lemon and lime

Next is the most common combination at lunch time because normally we are in plain mango and cherimoyas season, together these 2 spectacular fruits make such a perfect lunch especially after a very active morning

With immense gratitude we are inviting you to our RAW 80/10/10 feast

While the wellness industry sells us 80€ bags of “anti-inflammatory” powders, Harriet just bounced back from 200km of mountain running with... peaches and figs. 🍑✨

Let’s be real: our liver and kidneys are elite, high-performance waste managers. They don’t need a kitchen counter full of expensive green powders—they just need us to stop clogging our engine with heavy oils so they can do their job for free!

Harriet took on the brutal Ticino 500 mountain ultra and had to make the smart, tough call to stop halfway due to a medical issue. Most runners in that situation are wrecked for weeks with ice packs, pills, and supplement bags.

Harriet’s actually text me right after stepping off the trail?
“Even if I had to stop because of a medical issue and I only did half, I already start to feel recovered. Figs and peaches are the heroes! 🍑 And I start to think about the next race!”

No 90€ magic potions. Just clean 80/10/10 fuel letting her body heal fast!

Kilometer 150. Total sleep time: 5 minutes. 😅

While most people would be hallucinating or doubled over on the side of the trail, Harriet is trotting through the Swiss Alps munching on a raw cucumber like it’s an energy bar!

How is her body not completely shutting down?

Because when you feed your body clean, high-water raw food (80/10/10), digestion doesn’t steal your energy—you actually recover *while* you move.

In Chapter 16 of his book “Nutrition and Athletic Performance” (*Tips for Athletic Recovery*), Dr. Douglas Graham lays out the exact blueprint for bouncing back faster.

Here are 3 of his rules Harriet is putting to work on the mountain right now :

🍎 1. Rule 2: “Eat fruit after strenuous activity to bring your blood sugar back to normal levels and to provide sugar for conversion to muscle glycogen. Fruit will satiate like no other food can, and will help with your rehydration, as well.”

🥬 2. Rule 3: “Consume celery several times a week—or as often as you participate in strenuous activity—to provide the sodium you need. If celery doesn’t seem appealing, be sure to consume other green, leafy vegetables.”

🥒 3. Rule 12: “Strive for simplicity in your meals and variety in your diet.” (And as Dr. Doug highlights: “The mono meal is the ultimate ideal.”)

When you keep your trail food this simple and hydrating, all your vital energy goes straight into your legs instead of trying to break down complex meals!

Mainstream advice tells you to “load up on healthy fats.” Biology tells a different story. Overt fats make you feel fatty and slow down oxygen delivery. Precision fuel—80/10/10—makes you unbreakable. ⚡

Harriet Kjaer didn’t reach the National Team, won a 200 km race and finished +300 by following “mainstream” vegan advice. She did it by mastering the biological precision of 80/10/10.

Harriet’s Lived Evidence:
🥭 Volume vs. Fat: “I can eat a whole mango for the same calories as 1 tbsp of tahini. I get more nutrients, more satisfaction, and faster recovery.”
🔥 The Energy Gap: “In 200km races, I watched others get slower and slower. On 80/10/10, my energy increased daily. I ran when they couldn’t walk.”
🌸 Menopause Mastery: “By staying low-to-no fat, I had zero menopause symptoms. No night sweats, no weight struggles—just performance.”
🩹 The Reset: “Whenever I have a health issue, I drop overt fats. My body regulates and heals 10x faster.”

Mainstream advice tells you to “load up on healthy fats.” Biology tells a different story. Overt fats make you feel fatty and slow down oxygen delivery. Precision fuel—80/10/10—makes you unbreakable. ⚡

I found a way to recover WHILE running 340km+ Ultras. 🏃‍♀️💨

It sounds impossible, but it’s pure human biology.
I’m Harriet Kjaer.
For years, I was a professional luthier in Barcelona.

My journey into elite fitness started simply: teaching my daughter to ride a bike. 🚲 I ran alongside her for hours and realized I didn’t want to stop.

That spark led me to the North Pole Marathon, racing 350km Ultras, winning 200km race, and joining the Danish National Trail Running Team in my 40s. 🇩🇰🏆

The secret? The 80/10/10 diet. High fruit, low fat. 🍓⚡
When you fuel with biology-aligned, low-fat raw vegan (LFRV) nutrition, your body stops fighting itself. I went all in.
When I wanted more speed, Dr. Graham tweaked my diet. When I needed mental strength, Koen showed me my true potential.

I remember building a wooden house with a crew of men—when we finished, they collapsed to rest. I went for a few-hour trail run. I was recovering faster than I could wear myself out.

Most people spend years figuring out an athletic lifestyle that provides high energy, recovery, strength, and weight management.

You don’t have to wait years to reach your highest potential.

I teamed up with Dr. Doug Graham (Author of The 80/10/10 Diet) to create the RAW Nature Retreat in a stunning Spanish National Park. 🇪🇸🌿

We’ve built a sanctuary for seekers of peak health—from beginners to pro athletes—to master:
✅ Natural Hygiene & 80/10/10 principles.
✅ Functional Movement & Strength with Dr. Graham.
✅ Elite Running Skills with me & Olympic coach Koen.
✅ Raw Food Prep with Chef Shari.

Plus, we feed the soul with a compassionate community, heart-to-heart talks, live music, and a visit to my violin workshop. 🎻🎶
