For a snack in the afternoon I had these organic Turkish figs which were really juicy, yummy. Great source of iron, Leanne said. I then picked a papaya from one of our trees and it was like apricot jam.
Finishing off the day Leanne ate her first cooked meal of the day.
For dinner I made this amazing coconut curry, coconut from the property it turned out really really delicious, lots of curry spices, she said.
She then had durian for dessert, explaining that her raw food diet had been around 2700 calories.
