How can you SURVIVE being Fruitatarian?!
Or can you?
I just don't see it happening..
you NEED protein and other vitamins dont you?
Any fruitatarians out there?
Explain what you eat on a daily basis?
This is not suppose to be insulting to anyone I'm just curious.
Answers: I mean you really can't live on fruits and nuts and seeds?

I used to know a lot of fruitarians, but as far as i know none of them still follow that diet. They have various ideas about what constitutes fruit. Some would stick to things like bananas, apples, figs and the like, but others would eat anything which is botanically a fruit, which would include nuts, avocados and pulses. They also tended to eat raw food. I think it's possible to survive on a fruitarian diet if it's broadly defined rather than narrowly. Otherwise, the problem is protein, since no conventionally defined fruit is more than 2% protein.
They all lost a lot of weight. One of them ended up too weak to get out of bed. Some of them experienced other unpleasant symptoms, which they interpreted as detox. I think it was dietary deficiency. One of them used to spit out the pips, which was a really bad move because actually it makes a huge difference to the nutritional value. Also, many of them used to eat other food when their friends offered it, which means they may have survived through that.
You can get all the vitamins except B12. Their theory was that on a purely fruitarian diet, B12-producing bacteria would move further up in the intestines to a point where the vitamin could be absorbed. If this is so, it would mean they would be producing around 100 times the amount required because the substance secreted by the stomach which eases its absorption wouldn't have helped them at that point. It's also possible that it could be gotten from bacteria on unwashed fruit.
Having said that, i also know that people tend to be suspicious that other people's stricter diets can be healthy, and as i'm not fruitarian myself, there may be an element of that in what i'm saying.
life is not life without chocolate.
You could but your bowels would be very active.
Do you mean a strict vegetarian?
some nuts and seeds have protein like soy bean.
and when fermented, you can get carbohydrates from the, so its not at all bad.
But its BORING
but u can still live
cause most vitamins comes from fruits
I'm a devout meat eater, greens and oranges are just colours. pity there is no colour "meat" it would be my fav colour. anyway i seen a documentary on channel 4 about 7-8 years ago, and this bloke ate nothing but a single apple per day. he was rake thin could barely walk but internally his body was superior to an Olympic athletes. heart liver lungs all perfect, metabolic rate superior to a strength athlete but he still was barely able to walk. it is possible to live on a veggie diet, very healthily as for a fruit diet i would say no. a fruitarian wouldnt have the strength to climb a tree to pick the fruit in the first place. but heres the schocker for all the tree hugging veggie/vegan environmentalists. they do more damage to the environment than meat eaters. organically grown food has a bigger impact on the environment than wholesome force fed chicken.
well i am vegi because i think that way people survive more better and with vegtain food people survive over 100 years
I am not a fruititarian but you can kind of survive off of just those as long as you get all of the nutrients you need and since nuts and seeds have a somewhat high fat content you have to eat alot of them every day to survive but if you don't do it right it can make you very sick and unhealthy.
You could probably survive, but you wouldn't be very healthy. Just like, without supermarkets full of imported foods vegitarians could probably survive, but barely.
