Well, since I've been fruitarian ( fourth week) I have lost six pounds...I was 111lbs...so now I am 105lbs, as well Celena. But I am 5'4" and a half...hehee. I hope that I don't lose anymore weight though.

Just like vegans, fruitarians can't be perfect. Water is purified using bone char, sugar is purified using bone char, when grains and soybeans are harvested many animals are ground up in the process.
|
its very easy to get non refined sugar and distilled water. your right about it being hard to be pefect but those are bad examples. explain to me the animals bodies being ground up when soybeans are harvested thing. it would be easy to not buy from companies that do such things.

fruitarian diet |
|
|
I have learnt a lot today about this diet. I am vegan been vegan for a year and a veggie for 14 yrs. Thinking about my likes and dislikes, I think I eat a lot of this diet. I consume loads of nuts and thanks to that high fat content I now have a whacking big gallstone!!!.
As long as one is sensible about what they eat they should be fine. I have enough trouble with snide remarks from 'corpse' eaters about my vegan diet, Lord knows what comments I would get if I went Fruitarian!!.

All sugar is refined to some point imagine all the animals they move out of the cane fields as they harvest it. Buying distilled water is a bit expensive and what things do they use to distill it? I bet some sort of animal or plant product is used somewhere. As for the soybeans no company tries that on purpose its just something that happens.

As you may know, I am an omnivore, however I applaud fruitarians for at least being consistent in their respect for non-human life (i.e. they don't say that we can kill plants but not animals).

Well now, when you put it that way you do have a point.
Also, they've earned some of my grudging respect for being able to juggle their diets like that. There wouldn't be enough hours in the day for me to accomplish such a thing. -_-;;

Fruitarian Diet |
|
|
I've just become a fruitarian, and since I haven't found any concrete answers on what you can exactly eat, I've only had raw fruit and water. Can you eat grains, and can you cook them. Would someone please give a solid answer on these questions, and any other foods that can be eaten if you would. Thank you

i'm guessing fruitarians tend to eat organic anyway, but:.
from what i understand, there's debate over whether or not insects have any capacity for pain, but if one has to make a choice between eating an apple covered in pesticides (after washing it, of course) and eating an organically grown carrot, i think the insects deserve the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Great discussion, gang. I've found there are many degrees of fruitarianism (just like vegetarianism). One thing that confuses me is why fruitarianism is associated with 100% raw. I'm afraid that scares most people off.
Me, I eat 2 meals a day, breakfast=raw, lunch=cooked.
Typical breakfast=oats, chopped fruit (apple, pear, cantaloupe, mango, etc) and nuts.
Typical lunch (cooked)=rice or noodles, grilled eggplant or zucchini, chickpeas or beans or tofu for protein, tomatoes, olive oil & soy sauce. Sometimes some chili pepper for pizazz.
Every Chinese & Mexican restaurant is more than happy to make modifications to suit your diet (if you ask really nice & compliment them afterwards).
Cooked fruitarianism is REALLY EASY! Especially if you're already a vegan, all you have to do is cut out potatoes & onions and you're practically there. BTW, I've followed this diet for 3 years, and at first my weight dropped 10%, but it settled in a comfortable zone. I'm a guy, 6'0" and I weigh about 145.
CLOTHES: yeah, this is a toughie. I wear some cotton, but I only buy it at used thrift shops. If I buy anything new, I make sure it's synthetic (polyester, rayon, etc).
FURNITURE: brass, iron, aluminum baby! It's a bit more expensive (and heavy) but it looks awesome. My living room is furnished in bronze Victorian patio furniture, and no one notices... they just say woooo cool living room!
HOUSE: I don't own a house, but I imagine any existing structure is ok because it's not like you're contributing to what's already there. If you really want to avoid wood because it grosses you out, you can live in a stone/stucco structure like I do. But yeah, wood is hard to avoid.
Parting words: I've never met anyone who lives the pure fruitarian lifestyle, but that's not the point. I think the idea is to aim for it and see how close you can get. And never give up just because someone says you can't do it. Good luck. *does the fruitarian cheerleader dance* go fruiTEES, go fruiTEES, go, go, go fruiTEES
P.S. Vodka from Poland is made from grains (not potatoes). Throw some olives in it and voila martinis. Ahh, getting sloshed fruitarian style. 
----------------------added later because I just can't shut up today---------------------
signature_511d, many fruitarians avoid grains, nuts and seeds because they view it as inchoate life. I can respect that, but for me I define life as that which thrives. So in my book, seeds (un-germinated) do not thrive so they are not yet alive.
In general, I oppose the creation of new life, so this works perfectly with my philosophy. But not everyone is as nihilistic as me. 
Recently, though, I've been researching harvesting techniques. Grains should be harvested after the plant dies in October. But commercial harvesting usually jumps the gun by a month or 2 because it allows them to get 10-15% higher yeild. :rollseyes: For that matter, banana trees are killed during each annual harvest (so I quit eating bananas). This takes us into a whole new realm of dietary discipline... similar to veganism which opposes dairy solely because the collection methods are unethical. As valenceflame pointed out, pesticides render all commercial fruit suspect. So yeah, organic is the way to go... until something better comes along.
Well, one thing fruitarianism has done for me is expose my hypocrisies. Now it's just a matter of fixing em.

Dear Fruitfriends, today i had been registing myself in this forum, because i wanted to answer a simple question.
First of all hello, my name is Rudolf Sappel @ the fruiteater and i started to get fruitarian 1991 and went 100% fruitarian over ten years.
The main thing for me is not to drink water with the fruits while i am eating The water comes much later minimum 20 minutes after the meal.
With dried fruit it is different, IF you eat them dry it may be a dessert in your body. You can prevent that with drinking a little bit of water and chew it with the fruit to preventing you from a dusty or powder-mouth.  .
It is right, that cooked fruitarism is a very easy way, but meanwhile it is much easier for me, not to cook, as i am only eating fruits ans very very view grains.
Since years my wieght is the same and to make it realy nasty i went to get a extremsport caveman, of course barefeet.
To blow the possible confusion off about the theme i simply give you my homepage, where you have to learn the tricky design with the interactive clicking fruits and pictures with less words.
You may contact me to any time in my own inter-european fruitarian-art forum and you are very welcome to help with the translation of over 1000 articles about the fruitarian life.
http://www.fructarier.net
You may read my fruit-articles in the vegan animalprotection site in German an also with one little english thread.

A few answers to the question what is fruitarianism ?
| Fun wrote:
|
A fruitarian is a person who eats fruit and only fruit. What we in FUN mean by fruit is all the sweet fruits such as mangos, bananas, melons, oranges, etc., all kinds of berries, and the vegetable fruits such as tomato, cucumber, olives, etc.
(There are other fruitarians who eat grains as well, and some even cook their food, but the food FUN represents is all raw, so all the vitamins, minerals and enzymes are in good shape).
|
What do you think of this
| Wikipedia : The free encyclopedia wrote:
|
Fructarianism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Fructarians (or 'fruitarians') are a subgroup of vegans who eat only the fruit of plants. This includes not only what one typically thinks of as a "fruit" in the supermarket sense such as apples and oranges, but also other foods that are botanically the fruits of flowering plants (that is, the seed-containing reproductive parts), including all berries, nuts, seeds, peppers, tomatoes, squash, beans, peas, grains, etc.
I am sorry to disturb your illusions, wikipedia is spreading about fruitarism. Some while ago there was nothing standing in their description about fruitarians. Most of the people seem to define fruitarians wrong. For that reason even the names are written wrong on the tricky wiki site.
For that reason i tried several times to correct the fake manipulations about fruitarians.
It did not help me that i had been using the right definitions, neither my experiences over 30 years of studiing hard hadn´t been required, as wikipedia erased with the most ugly censorship the correct description about fruitarism.
First of all - fruitarism is not a vegan subgroup because we confirm, to be vegetarians with the fruitarian strictness.
the fruitarian lifestyle is as old as the human-culture and i must wonder why wikipedia is used to spread lies. www.veggieromance.com is one english relationship page that had been impressing me most because they had been informing themselves because they had been explaining right.
I know about the German wikipedia version and also i can see, that the unqualified wikipage just had been translating wrong information into English and other languages, of course with all that definition-mistakes about us, meanwhile nobody of the wikipedia-brain-wash-crew had been in touch with long term fruitarians, neither they made effort to set things straight, as they had been erasing all corrections to blame fruitarians.
It is important for a fruitarian to take a vitamin-supplement containing vitamin B12. Women who are pregnant or nursing especially need vitamin B12.
that is simply not true, because i don´t need any supplements, as i know about the original microorganism Aktinomyces who is responsible for the vitamin b12 production.
the cobalamin lack
had been getting big, since pesticides had been killing the b12 responsible microorganisms in Nature and on top of it in our body.
The bacteria had been spreading out by birds
vitamin B12 theater in the fruit-palace
the parrots can help you further
It is curious how far censor-ship can go, so i had been working hard to find it out and it worked.
By eating only the fruit of a plant, the plant does not have to be killed (when one eats a carrot, which is the root of that plant, the whole carrot plant dies). Fructarians note that, in many cases, eating fruit does the parent plant a favor. All fleshy fruit is designed to be eaten by animals and either travel through the animal's digestive tract before it sprouts in a pile of ready-made fertilizer; or, in the case of fruits with cores or pits, to be carried away from the parent plant, eaten, and the core or pit which contains the seeds or is the seed, tossed aside to sprout. Without animals eating fruit, the fruit would not travel far enough away from the parent plant to grow successfully. Many plants depend on animals for seed dispersal.
However, a fruitarian diet is very difficult to follow, and on a long-term basis fruitarians often suffer health problems caused by nutrient deficiency. The high sugar content of their diet can cause diabetic or hypoglycemic-type symptoms, while it is lacking in protein, minerals, and fat-soluble vitamins. Long-term fruitarians are prone to food cravings and consequent binge-eating, either of 'allowed' foods or 'illegal' ones, and they often become addicted to dates (for their high sugar content) and avocados (which are extremely high in fat). Some fruitarians develop a type of eating disorder called orthorexia.
|
And what do you think of the part in green ?
|
The critic author is right, because he tried hard to confuse, for that reason it is hard to follow human fruitarian behavior.
Most of the people are not qualified to talk about fruitarism because how can they know without practical experience?
to eat one week apples is just not representative enough, when incapacity try to describe our human life stile.
I am sorry to say that but the green part is completely out of order.
With correct fruitarian diet in a natural social human space diabetics can be sometimes only (nearly) cured. my Friend from Paris switched to fruitarianism to cure her diabetes 1 and it went better. When diabetics have the danger to get blind, it has nothing to to with fruitarians. Fruitarians eat a lot un sweet fruits and only in the right season.
If you have a vitamin b12 Problem then you can try to wash specially the the industrial fruits even with earth out of you garden, because B12 is a fermenting natural product. Gorillas used to kiss their bottoms, when they had a lack of B12. For that reason so called mad people had been told of with the famous phrase "lick my a.." because the so called mad mad people often had a simply missing B12.
Meanwhile the theme is bores me, because i am through all that and i had been suffering some years to get it straight. It seems a jungle of incompetent intrigues to me, when i read so much copy-n-pasted crab..
That brings confusion. I am searching since three years other fruitarians to help me with the correct translation of our fruitarian books. But i cannot help it, because most of the people want mainly to talk about things, they are afraid.
It ist very difficult to give advices because in reality you cannot, as we know that with the best recepies you can spoil the meal with a bad cook.
Wikipedia is off topic with the fruitarian description until now, because there are also low minded authors who love to eat heavy digest able meat and fried chicken. How can you expect ignorant meat eater-sects to know about health?
that's just as ridiculous as the global confusion on purpose just to keep us going or even running..
The industrial Virus H5N1 is one actual example of telling lies. Imagine if the responsible factories would have to make up to amends.
That just more expensive then new absorbing lies, as simple as Paradise had been destroyed by the human race with their technology.
If the human race had been leading to irreparable damage, you may remember this words. I am sorry when i make some grammar mistakes, because i am not used to talk English all day but i try simply my best.
The richest fruitarian of the planet is Mr. Steven Jobs , the fruitarian computer Apple-founder. You may find articles about him in the European archives of fruitarism. I am lucky, not to be responsible for you health but i am waiting for better qualified fruitarians.
www.frugiforo.com
Please do me a favor.
If there is a bi language-speaking fruit-friend, you may help me with the difficult translations and contact me, may be over vegan-central.de in the guest book if you don´t know how to send me an e-mail.
You may have a look, how many articles i had been writing at vegan-central since 8 month. They are more then 900.
Otherwise read the fruitarian books on the market and be as happy as always. Good luck and all the best to you.
A German study concentrated on the vitamin Bs in Sea Buckthorn.
Previously, it had been assumed that no plant contains a significant amount of vitamin B12,
but this study found that Sea Buck thorn not only contains all the B vitamins,
its vitamin B12 content is as high as in liver.
The clinical study shows that a lack of vitamin B12 causes such problems as skin disorders,
anemia, digestive disorders, nerve damage and dysfunction of the mucous membranes.
If God would like us to be born bare feet, he would not give birth to us with boots.. from my ex-neighbor and long term fruitarian Mango-
nature
is the creating
power and highest art
that made all for a specific reason
that way nothing is useless or unnecessary
no behavior is used to be better

Other researchers found some antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in Sea Buck thorn.
Sea Buckthorn is a dioecious hardy plant, which means a male and a female shrub is needed to produce fruits.
They thrive in moist soils, but grow also in poor soil, can tolerate cold and extreme conditions.
The female plants should be pruned to provide sunlight and make picking the berries easier.
only nature is pure

This is really interesting. I have never heard of Fruitarianism before!
I might have to look into this more.
