Fruitarian Diets??

[NJFighter91]

I've been reading into a Fruitarian Diet and it's getting me really intrested into it. WHat do you guys think of it? Is it healthy and safe to not eat protein or it's unhealthy to eat only fruits all day.

Yeah, supposedly, you eat only fruits and that's it. Not even nuts. I don't think it's good for someone who works out but I think it's good for cleaning out the system and detoxifying it.

I'd imagine, like you said, it would be good for a detox for your colon or something, but I would not think that it was a good diet at all.

It's missing so much, protein is essential, AND you have to remember you'd be missing so much FAT. You need fat for lots of things including healthy hormone production. I've known many guys who went on diets that were very low - virtually no fat at all almost, and their testosterone plummetted.

I dno how the weather is where you are right now, but over here its SOOO HOT and that fruit diet sounds pretty refreshing right now lol.

Fat's I can get from avacadoes which supply a good amount. IDK, I might try this out for a few months and see what happens.

Leave the Fruitarian diet to the "fruits". You need protein and fat every day if you are working out hard. The only fruit with any fat is the avocado. And the only protein in fruit is in the pit, which is often poisonous.

Ok, I don't know why because I've seen a few beefed up guys who eat only fruit. I considered trying it but it just makes no sense at all.

Why restrict yourself to just fruit though? Just eat some chicken and brown rice or whatever else you want in addition to a ****load of fruit. It's definitely a good idea to ingest more fruit but what cosmic force is keeping you from eating meat and other stuff on the side?

I've been reading up on Fruitarian diets and they say fruit is the purest thing you can eat and that when food gets cooked, it becomes waste and unhealthy for the body.

That theory is true to a degree, but you don't need to avoid cooked food entirely- just cut down on it significantly, and eat more raw fruits and vegetables. You're not doing harm to yourself by ingesting cooked chicken and rice, but you should definitely eat more fruit and vegetables than anything else.
