There's nothing wrong with a short term fruit diet as long as you eat nuts with it and drink lots of water. I like to do it with:

Fruits: bananas, apples, pears, oranges, kiwis, mangos
Nuts: pistachios, peanuts, walnuts, cashews

And drink lots of water... :nod:

I just couldn't go without Meat and Vegetables in my diet, I mean I guess there's nothing really WRONG with someone if that's what they want to do, it doesn't seem like it would really be healthy to me to have a long term diet of just fruit.

I don't see anything wrong with it if you do it right. I don't really see anything wrong with the long term issues...Like it says it's a subset of Veganism...

Fruitarianism is the practice endorsed by people called fruitarians or fructarians of following a diet that comprises fruits, nuts and seeds, without animal products, vegetables and grains.[1] Fruitarianism is a subset of veganism.
Some people whose diet consists of 75% or more fruit consider themselves fruitarians.

I feel the same way, it just seems strange that someone would do that, I mean I can see if someone has some moral problem with eating meat, I disagree with it, but I can sort of understand it, but why on earth is someone excluding VEGETABLES from their diet?

I really don't think Veganism is a good thing either
And what's wrong with Veganism? Just because they don't eat meat? There's other ways to get protein. Like nuts have protein...If you eat nuts with fruits then you're getting protein. If you eat nuts with vegetables then you're getting protein. Enough that the body needs.




Nuts (1oz)
Protein (g)

You're allergic to ALL fruit?

thankfully no.

I can eat pears and kiwi fruit. Tropical fruit by and large is fine, only I don't like the taste.

Apples, oranges, certain berries, bananas have the wonderful effect of either drying out my mouth and throat, where the skin then cracks and bleeds, or they swell up the inside of my throat so I can't breathe.

I can eat small quantities of those, but the last time I ate a full apple my mouth was severely damaged for a few days.

It's fine if it's cooked, it's just in it's raw form. I'm told it's pretty rare. That makes me feel special.

sucks bro, lol I do love Kiwis and Pears though, so I could live with that.

Like I said it just seems strange to me to exclude things from your diet, animals eat other animals to survive, that's just the way of things.

I don't see anything wrong with not eating vegetables. I don't eat any and I've lost 40 pounds in 6 months and am healthy in that manner. I do eat chicken though and drink lots of water. Why are you so against people that don't eat meat or vegetables?

I'm not against PEOPLE who don't eat meat or vegetables, I never said that I was, I'm just saying I myself wouldn't follow these diets and I can't understand why someone would, I'm simply curious as to the reasoning behind cutting vegetables out of your diet.

You're telling me. I used to like fruit, and I'm pretty sure not being able to eat it is why I get so many damn colds and viruses.

I don't get enough fruit in my diet either, could be a factor in why I feel like shit all the time.
