Could You Be A Fruitarian?

Most humans love to eat fruit. Could you be a Fruitarian? Do you believe man was intended to consume mostly fruit?

A Fruitarian is someone who eats predominantly fruit and ideally 100%. "Fruits" include all tree fruits, all berries, watermelons, vine fruits like kiwis and grapes and vegetable-fruits like tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.

Fruitarian Be Could

Healthy eating is a good thing, but the effort, planning, cost, and time involved in that restrictive lifestyle would be impractical. For me, fruitarianism would not be a balanced diet - not only in the sense of nutrition, but in the sense of life priorities. Plus, grains, vegetables, dairy products and meats make for variety. Fruits are generally quite sweet, and a diet of strictly fruit would feel pretty monochromatic in the taste department quite quickly.

Could You Be A Fruitarian? Health & Special Psychology

While it may be possible to live a healthy life consuming only fruits, I don't think I would be able too, especially knowing about all the meats that are out there. I don't doubt that it is possible to get all a body needs from solely fruits, but as howe mentioned, the impracticality and also the cost factor would be enough for me not to do it.

I am not at all sure that a person CAN live healthily on an all-fruit diet. Vegetarians have a hard enough time getting the proteins and amino acids that they need, by mixing various vegetables and grains. I don't think it is possible to get the right blend of amino acids through only fruit. And, if it is possible, it would be very difficult.

Whoever created the website for the second link went through a lot of trouble to show specifically what protein levels can be found in fruits vs normal everyday foods. I won't say they are wrong, and at least they are providing data to back up their view (biased as it may be).

This is from the second link. It appears not to be a complete nutritional diet after all. The first link seems to be more about selling their books, tapes and fruit by mail order, rather than providing full information.

In my opinion, of course.

Could Be Fruitarian

Name: mat

Comments: I would be a fruitarian if fruits didn't have so much sugar in them. I know some people say that sugar in fruits are natural, but it doesnt change the fact that sugar is still sugar.

Could Be Fruitarian Psychology Special & Health

No, I couldn't be a fruitarian. I was a vegetarian for three years and I had awful problems with getting enough iron in my diet, hence why I am not now. I also do not think, in my physical job (as a gardener), I would get the same amount of protein required daily. I like my fruit, but what I need is a balance. I would also miss my meat!
