Become a Fruitarian for a healthier you

You’ve probably been hearing a lot about the value of a raw foods diet. A raw food diet consists primarily of uncooked, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, sprouts, seaweed, nuts and juices. It’s a vegetarian diet, but one that rejects any animal products. Its central tenet is that cooking and processing take out the majority of essential vitamins, enzymes and nutrients that our bodies evolved to thrive on.

Fruitarians, as the word implies, eat primarily fruits, with nuts and grains as well. A fruitarian diet also includes foods like tomatoes or avocados, which actually are fruits.

Fruit is nourishing and refreshing for your health. It doesn't clog the body's vital arteries; better still, it actually flushes and cleanses. A fruit diet also lightens our bodies and spirits, in line with the general lightening of our planetary vibration rate which many higher sources tell us is taking place at this time.

You need to eat carefully if you choose a fruitarian diet, because it can be more of a challenge to get enough essential protein in your diet. A fruitarian eats nothing which has been killed or stolen. That means replacing meat, dairy, and plants with the thousands of fruit and nut combinations on the planet. E.g., a fruitarian can eat for example, an avocado sandwich, a coconut milk shake or the purest coconut ice cream made from the milk and meat of the fruit, veggie burgers made of lentil or bean paste or tofu, a succotash of corn, limas, peas, and tomatoes, sweets made with pure maple syrup or date sugar, pecan pies made with fruit sugars, fruit shakes made of a mixture of orange and banana, pear and peach, pomegranate, papaya, and plum. A pizza of tofu, tomato, and pepper (not pepperoni), salads of tomato, cucumber, green and red peppers (but not lettuce, cabbage, or celery), nut butters such as almond butter or tahini, hummus {chickpea paste}.  In other words, fruitarian may eat fruits 99.9% of the time, but occasionally do indulge in the delicacies of other food groups.

    I have watching and reading about the raw diets for awhile, but I have never heard of a fruitarian. I agree with the reasons for following these diets, but I don't think I have the discipline to stick with it all the time. It seems it would be hard to follow if you spend much time on the road traveling.

    I didn't even realize there was a thing called a Fruitarian, but it does make sense that it would be hard to get protein in the diet.

    I have never heard of the fruitarian diet. It sounds pretty good to me! Maybe I could start out being a part time fruitarian and work my way up to full time. I think I will read up on it some more in the meantime. Thanks for posting this article.
