Whew, if Zero says it's okay, then it's okay!

HA! Miss Bettie, I knew I'd get you over to New Jersey somehow!

If you were a primative human with no utensils or a monkey, how else would you do it?

....peel it same as I do . I suppose I'll try to skin on the one I have, even if it does look unappealing.

[missbettie]

I think that I am terrified of the skin because I live in a predominately hispanic area and mangos are BIG for them, but I have only seen people eat them peeled, although every time I try to peel and cut them I always end up with a bigger mess and not a lot of mango...

[Roxy]

I eat them peeled too. You guys all need to go to Australia and eat some AWESOME Bowen mangoes. They are the most frangrant, fattest, juciest, yummiest mangoes you'll ever have in your life

[missbettie]

but how do you cut around that giant pit?!!?!?!

but how do you cut around that giant pit?!!?!?!

Practice

You can cut it up similar to how you would cut a melon you just can't cut through the center, so you have to cut around.
Here are some instructions for you

I kind of like that the skin is bitter it balances out the sweetness of the mango well. I confess that I do cut them up if they are not organic though.

Here's Day 9 of my blog.

DAY NINE

I slept better last night than I have in awhile. I only woke up once and went right back to sleep. I have been going to bed at about 10pm and rising at about 5:30.

My husband and I went to Raleigh, NC (about 70 miles from us) to go to Whole Foods. I bought tons of fruit. I got tree-ripened nectarines, plums, clementines, Medjool dates, apples, and tons of bananas. I also got organic mangos, 2 for $3 so I bought 6 of them. Yum. We also had lunch there. I had a plate of fresh fruit.

I found my energy much better today. Not as sleepy nor did I feel as much fatigue as before.

2 oranges
1 grapefruit
1 banana

plate of assorted fruit (melon, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple
8 medjool dates (awesome)

carrot/turnip & radish greens juice

huge salad with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil/raw vinegar
20 almonds
2 nectarines

Weight 142

No cravings for cooked foods yet nor for grain products. That used to be my biggest craving. I used to eat tons of rice, cereals, and crackers.
My candida problems have seemed to clear up. I stopped taking one of my acidopholus pills. I used to take two a day. Now I am down to one. I am also phasing out my supplements. I want to finish what I have so as not to waste them. I don't feel a need for them anymore.
I still take powdered barley grass but I will stop that when I finish it.
I have not needed anything to clean out my bowels as I am eliminating fine and I am taking in about 50 grams of fiber a day.
Onward and upward!!
