The Fruitarian Diet

http://greendiets.com/fruitariandiet.htm



Fruitarians (frugivores or fructarians) eat mostly or only the fruit of plants.

There are different variations of fruitarianism. Many fruitarians hold the definition to one that eats 100% fruit, others have diets that are 75% or more fruit, with the rest being a raw vegan diet.

Others consider themselves to be aspiring fruitarians when fruit is the main part of their diet.


More About The Fruitarian Diet


Fruitarian definition of fruit

Fruitarians use differing definitions of what is considered a "fruit."

When discussing fruit as food, the term usually refers to just those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy (including plums, apples, and oranges). Botanically, though, many common vegetables (including the bell pepper, tomato, and cucumber), as well as nuts and grains, are fruit.


Definition of fruitarian

Some fruitarians will eat only what falls (or would fall) naturally from a plant, namely, culinary fruits, nuts, and seeds (excluding grains). Many do not eat grains, which are usually not palatable unless cooked, (most fruitarians are raw foodists). Some feel that it is improper for fruitarians to eat seeds.[citation needed] Others eat seeds and cooked foods.

Another may eat a similar diet, but including other botanical definitions of fruits and consume pulses. Other fruitarians argue that the slippery slope of what 'would' fall from the plant leads to including foods that would otherwise be taboo.[citation needed]

A minority of fruitarians only eat fruit in the culinary sense.[citation needed] Others include green leafy vegetables and/or root vegetables. Some occasionally include some dairy products in their diet as well.


Motivation

Some believe fruitarianism was the original diet of mankind in the form of Adam and Eve as quoted at Genesis 1:29. They believe that a return to an Eden-like paradise will require simple living, surrender of anything "modern" (electricity, medication, housing, clothing, etc.) and a holistic approach to health and diet.[citation needed]

Other fruitarians wish to avoid killing in all its forms, including plants. They point out that eating some types of fruit does the parent plant a favor. Fleshy fruit has evolved to be eaten by animals, to achieve seed dispersal. Fruit seeds passed in feces may sprout in a pile of ready-made fertilizer, encouraging proliferation of the plant, but only if one defecates outside, which most Westerners do not. Fruits with cores or pits, however, will be tossed aside to sprout too near the parent plant to gain any benefit.

Others still become fruitarians after a casual study of human physiology.[citation needed] Many of these fruitarians make physiological claims to support their diet, and believe that by following such a diet, enhanced health can be achieved. (See Health below)






Noteworthy Fruitarians


Ancient Fruitarians

In the story of Rama (a Hindu avatar) he lives in exile in the forest for 14 years on a partially fruitarian diet, supplemented with root vegetables.


Possible Biblical Examples

Some believe that Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden were Fruitarians (Behold I have given you herb yielding seed. To you it shall be for meat; Genesis l:29).

A "lost" gospel, the Essene Gospel of Peace, claims that the Essenes were raw foodists and Fruitarians. The only person claiming to have seen the original manuscript, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, continues to publish new portions of this text, well after his death in 1979.

A small minority of scholars believe Jesus was an Essene who practiced a mainly fruitarian diet, although this contradicts the mainline Bible (Matthew 15:34-37) and some scholarship on the Essenes.


Modern

* Mahatma Gandhi was a briefly followed a diet similar to fruitarianism. He and his followers repeatedly discontinued these diets as in the long term they proved unsustainable.
* Sri Yukteswar, the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, was a fruitarian and author of The Holy Science, a book with a chapter on "natural living", including a fruitarian diet.
* Dick Gregory wrote the book Cooking With Mother Nature For Folks

Who Eat about his odyssey from lacto vegetarianism to fruitarianism. He ran 3000 miles across the US on fruit juice. http://www.dickgregory.com

* Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple Computer, Inc.) for a period in the 1970s.
* Hall of Fame basketball player Pete Maravich, for a short period.[citation needed]
* Walter Siegmeister a noted Hollow Earth theorist, under the pen name "Dr. Raymond Bernard", promoted fruitarianism as part of his plan for a "super race".
* Morris Krok, South African author, wrote Fruit: The Food And Medicine For Man, later recommended against fruitarianism.
* Johnny Lovewisdom, author of The Buddhist Essene Gospel of Jesus, suffered from numerous health problems attributed to fruitarianism.
* Johanna Brandt of South Africa advanced a grape diet in 1925, saying it had cured her cancer. Her Harmony Healing Center was the target of regulatory and legal action by the FDA and U.S. Post Office, citing fraud and practicing medicine without a license.



Fictional

* The K-PAXian in Gene Brewer's K-PAX book series and film.
* The Eloi from HG Wells's The Time Machine.
* One of Hugh Grant's potential love interests in the film Notting Hill
* The evil Medusa Johnson (Gloria Foster; the Oracle in The Matrix Trilogy) in the feature film "Leonard Part Six" also starring Bill Cosby

my teeth are fine,


www.fruchtesser.de/3.php


if we wash an unglazed ceramic plate in oil, it will be not glaze-able anymore.

If we sand our teeth down with customized food habits, or have to stand a deminaralisation in our body caused by hyper-stress or a serious desease, we even may not stand food anymore..

We also could wonder, why the fruitarian animals do not get problems with their teeth neigther B12 problems..

this question needs no answer, because it is answered allready..

Lets say 99% of the human world-population is declared as normal..
....the other 99% must be mad..., better bad or sad?
the 1% rest must be happy and healthy..as my fruitarian friend..

Well, the "fruitarian problems" put appart, i found that article pretty positive compared to 99% of the articles about the diet that are on the Internet. This is the reason why i posted it here. At least they give the point that a fruitarian does NOT eat greens & seeds... but make it clear some label themselves as such consumming those :(

Many people following an omnivorous, vegetarian or vegan diet lose their teeth or get B12 deficiency, but nobody ever talks about it.

Then, there is a difference between a frugivorous non human & a fruitarian human. The root of the name is the proof of it.

You are right that fruitarians are treated with intriges and different scales in the i-net .

About loosing the teeth i nearly wanted to work some statistics out ..but for now it is enough for me to give following example;

the common acid attacs after consume of cake, meat, sweets, honey, wite sugar coffee with milk and processed food are redicolous high .
Most of the humans had been damaging their teeth with body-acid producing food.

I do not want to blame the "walking-talkies" because many of them use third teeth..
What we can see, is that the dentists went rich with the tooth-damages of millions..as that most of them cannot finish work, as they are very busy..

May be the mayority of destructive individuals need to blame fruitarians and talk bad about others to feel better themself,
..as a simple compensation of the own complexes..

today i had a fruitarian conversation.

i heard completely different things about fruitarians with adult fruitarian - family-members, as they had been brought up as fruitarian from childhood on..of course without problems...in texas..

that means there are selfeducating fruitarians with own childs they never had been visiting a public school and ..

funny that the adult "fruitarian childs" stay fruitarians like their parents and go on very well.

not one single word fell about the B12 phrases, teethproblems or something bad related...as the article could make believe.
who does not know it better will be forced to believe others... :roll:
for that reason mostly human stupidity rules the world..

We find more fruitarian worlds.

one of it is the virtual manipulated internet, full of individualists, liars , fakes, business-people, and the little big rest of honest people..

I am happy about your article and it shows us the big social gap - and more or less bigger question-marks about the fruitarians..

not to many want to understand human behaviour, that would blame those who want to rule the world with power..

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.

sAppel: Wrong, nowadays Vodka may carry also potatos..

----------------------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 and very view grains.
Since years my weight 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.

You may read my fruit-articles in the vegan animalprotection site in German an also with one little english thread.

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 frugivore - 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 as 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 critical writer is right, because he tried hard to confuse, for that reason it may be 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

power and highest art

that way nothing is useless or unnecessary
no behavior is used to be better

final b12
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.

Fruitarian Statement - 16. November 2006

Dear Fruitarian friends,

today i had been reading an uneasy statement, that may lead to global fruitarian confusion..

who wants to manifest that sprouted seeds shall be fruits, may be by mistake!?..

I am sorry, as real fruitarian i will not eat growing embryos of plants, only ripe plancentas of plants, called fruit, that came out of a flower with seeds.

Our experienced opinion about the most ethical non-violent fruitarian human diet on our planet:

A refined fruitarian will not accept sprout-meals as fruitarian food, neither we want change the fruitarian definitions of the Ahimsa Principle about non-violence and Karma against our basical fruitarian principles.

Of course i noticed, that a growing number of hard trying fruitarian volunteers are eating sprouts, since somebody had been defining and explaining our fruitarian ortodox philosophy with opposing interpretations.

Please note that a large number of fruitarians feel corrupted with such a surreal claim, as we fruitarians only eat fruits no growing sprouts.

To eat sprouts is violence against growing plants.

Neigther we want to mess up with the ethical principles of plant rights, nor with real fruitarians.

Today i had a meeting with one of the most advanced fruitarians in Europe - Australia, Mango Wodzak.

We agreed, that fruitarian-untypical practice sounds very strange to a pure fruitarian, who is only eating fruits of the season.

Fruitarian regards, Fruitarian experiences, Rudolf sAppel ons @ fruitarian friends.

Global Fruitarians - Europe:


English-French-German

www.vegan-central.de

www.fruitnut.net

http://pleagus.net

http://fruitarian.eu http://fruitarian.de www.fruchtesser.de

The fruitarian diet consists of RAW fruit and seeds ONLY!

http://www.fruitarian.com/ao/WhatIsFruitarianism.htm

Examples of fruits are: Pineapple, mango, banana, avocado, apple, melon, orange, etc., all kinds of berries, and the vegetable fruits such as tomato, cucumber, olives; and dried fruits such as nuts, hazelnuts, cashews, chestnuts, etc.. And seeds including sprouted seeds, ....that is an untenable Argument and not correct.

Hey Ru,

I agree that there are many fruitarians add foods like sprouts and etc. just to have their comfort foods (I call them) and still they call that pure 100% fruitarian; which is not 100% I agree. That would be raw foodist more than being fruitarian 100% .

I personally don't like sprouts, thank God! There are alot of foods that I don't like; thank goodness for that! and so fruits are more attractive and platable for me more than any other foods.

Most people are attracted to fruits not to sprouts! Even if we want to make this test on little children; that which food they will be more attracted to, something sweet, juicy, and colorful, and that would definitely not be sprouts, whoever would think a kid would want that unless forced to him to eat.

Much interesting topics here, I want to go over the forum and read more :lol:

love to all and thanks Ru for the warm welcome and everyone.

Take care and God bless you with abundant health,
Sandra[B]

macarena I'm happy to be back! I realize that most of the times I have to follow my instincts when it comes to my body.

I can't play russian rollette with my health or any other game when it comes to health jongle so this seriousness of ones taking responsibility over their own health is not a game, it's a person's life, so that's why the fruitarian diet really heals.

When someone says the truth about the fruiatarian diet or any other truth, most people refuse the truth because they are too weak in their own addictions, like the heroin addict so addicted that creates choas around and fights crazilly to get his addiction; so they would fight you and say things about you and crucify you if possible Jesus

All I can say I'm happy to be even die for the truth only ANGEL

Best wishes and good health,
Sandra

What about to be happy even to be truth only..

that´s better i don´t want to loose a friend.
there is time to die when God takes you home, when your life is fullfilled.
You are young and strong.
there are reasons for our lessons,
we have to learn to get stronger..
we can get mentalv-spiritually-physikally stronger, just as we are made to, not more, neither less..

We stay positive and nothing can bother us, as long we are aware of our selfs, dead is a natural happening and it is coming in time.

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!!!.

" Who told you to eat loads of nuts?.. that sounds a just stupid enough to get gallstones."

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!!.

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).

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

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 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-

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

The Fruitarian Diet

http://greendiets.com/fruitariandiet.htm



Fruitarians (frugivores or fructarians) eat mostly or only the fruit of plants.

There are different variations of fruitarianism. Many fruitarians hold the definition to one that eats 100% fruit, others have diets that are 75% or more fruit, with the rest being a raw vegan diet.

Others consider themselves to be aspiring fruitarians when fruit is the main part of their diet.


More About The Fruitarian Diet


Fruitarian definition of fruit

Fruitarians use differing definitions of what is considered a "fruit."

When discussing fruit as food, the term usually refers to just those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy (including plums, apples, and oranges). Botanically, though, many common vegetables (including the bell pepper, tomato, and cucumber), as well as nuts and grains, are fruit.


Definition of fruitarian

Some fruitarians will eat only what falls (or would fall) naturally from a plant, namely, culinary fruits, nuts, and seeds (excluding grains). Many do not eat grains, which are usually not palatable unless cooked, (most fruitarians are raw foodists). Some feel that it is improper for fruitarians to eat seeds.[citation needed] Others eat seeds and cooked foods.

Another may eat a similar diet, but including other botanical definitions of fruits and consume pulses. Other fruitarians argue that the slippery slope of what 'would' fall from the plant leads to including foods that would otherwise be taboo.[citation needed]

A minority of fruitarians only eat fruit in the culinary sense.[citation needed] Others include green leafy vegetables and/or root vegetables. Some occasionally include some dairy products in their diet as well.


Motivation

Some believe fruitarianism was the original diet of mankind in the form of Adam and Eve as quoted at Genesis 1:29. They believe that a return to an Eden-like paradise will require simple living, surrender of anything "modern" (electricity, medication, housing, clothing, etc.) and a holistic approach to health and diet.[citation needed]

Other fruitarians wish to avoid killing in all its forms, including plants. They point out that eating some types of fruit does the parent plant a favor. Fleshy fruit has evolved to be eaten by animals, to achieve seed dispersal. Fruit seeds passed in feces may sprout in a pile of ready-made fertilizer, encouraging proliferation of the plant, but only if one defecates outside, which most Westerners do not. Fruits with cores or pits, however, will be tossed aside to sprout too near the parent plant to gain any benefit.

Others still become fruitarians after a casual study of human physiology.[citation needed] Many of these fruitarians make physiological claims to support their diet, and believe that by following such a diet, enhanced health can be achieved. (See Health below)






Noteworthy Fruitarians


Ancient Fruitarians

In the story of Rama (a Hindu avatar) he lives in exile in the forest for 14 years on a partially fruitarian diet, supplemented with root vegetables.


Possible Biblical Examples

Some believe that Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden were Fruitarians (Behold I have given you herb yielding seed. To you it shall be for meat; Genesis l:29).

A "lost" gospel, the Essene Gospel of Peace, claims that the Essenes were raw foodists and Fruitarians. The only person claiming to have seen the original manuscript, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, continues to publish new portions of this text, well after his death in 1979.

A small minority of scholars believe Jesus was an Essene who practiced a mainly fruitarian diet, although this contradicts the mainline Bible (Matthew 15:34-37) and some scholarship on the Essenes.


Modern

* Mahatma Gandhi was a briefly followed a diet similar to fruitarianism. He and his followers repeatedly discontinued these diets as in the long term they proved unsustainable.
* Sri Yukteswar, the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, was a fruitarian and author of The Holy Science, a book with a chapter on "natural living", including a fruitarian diet.
* Dick Gregory wrote the book Cooking With Mother Nature For Folks

Who Eat about his odyssey from lacto vegetarianism to fruitarianism. He ran 3000 miles across the US on fruit juice. http://www.dickgregory.com

* Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple Computer, Inc.) for a period in the 1970s.
* Hall of Fame basketball player Pete Maravich, for a short period.[citation needed]
* Walter Siegmeister a noted Hollow Earth theorist, under the pen name "Dr. Raymond Bernard", promoted fruitarianism as part of his plan for a "super race".
* Morris Krok, South African author, wrote Fruit: The Food And Medicine For Man, later recommended against fruitarianism.
* Johnny Lovewisdom, author of The Buddhist Essene Gospel of Jesus, suffered from numerous health problems attributed to fruitarianism.
* Johanna Brandt of South Africa advanced a grape diet in 1925, saying it had cured her cancer. Her Harmony Healing Center was the target of regulatory and legal action by the FDA and U.S. Post Office, citing fraud and practicing medicine without a license.



Fictional

* The K-PAXian in Gene Brewer's K-PAX book series and film.
* The Eloi from HG Wells's The Time Machine.
* One of Hugh Grant's potential love interests in the film Notting Hill
* The evil Medusa Johnson (Gloria Foster; the Oracle in The Matrix Trilogy) in the feature film "Leonard Part Six" also starring Bill Cosby



Criticisms

In addition to health risks particular to fruitarianism, all risks associated with veganism apply as well.

* Serious nutritional deficiencies: Some long-time strict fruitarians will develop nutritional deficiencies as a result of the diet.[19] Many will develop health problems and switch to a broader diet. (Specific health risks are discussed below.)

* Lack of Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 can only be synthesized by bacteria and archaea. Unless they regularly use supplements, fruitarians will not get sufficient amounts of this nutrient. Years of deficiency in vitamin B12 may lead to megaloblastic anemia, macrocytic anemia, serious neurological and mental damage, increased homocysteine (associated with heart disease and arterial deterioration), degeneration of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord, paranoia, hyperactive reflexes, impotence and infertility. As with all vegans, fruitarians are at risk of serious, permanent bodily damage or death if they do not add B12 supplements or fortified foods to their diets.[20][21]. Natural food sources of vitamin B12 are limited to foods that come from animals.[22]

* Lack of evidence of successful, long-term fruitarians: Many notable advocates of fruitarianism in the past, including Morris Krok[23], Johnny Lovewisdom, Walter Siegmeister/Raymond Bernard, and Viktoras Kulvinskas ate considerable quantities of vegetables and occasional cooked foods and vegetables. Others switched to other unorthodox lifestyles (including breatharianism and liquitarianism (juices only), or recommended against the diet once they stopped (Morris Krok[24]).

* Dental problems: The high organic acid content in many fruits can strip minerals from teeth. A number of fruitarians have given up the diet due to tooth loss, receding gums and similar problems


I want to give you an authentical version about fruitarians from my fruitfriend Mango: Mangos place

Eat Fruit, Be Cute, Live Long and Prosper.

"Society has always had its visionaries that talked of love, beauty and peace. - But somehow the "practical" men have always been there to praise the smog as a sign of progress, to preach just wars, to restrict love while giving reign to hate. it must be one of the greatest ironies of history, that today the only solutions for the "practical" men, lie in what they think of as the dreams of the idealists. The question now is; Can the realists be persuaded to face reality in time?" There has been much debate about the Durian.. The best food in the world.

precise definition of .."Fruitarianism.."



How much fruit must one eat to be classified a Fruitarian?

Must one eat only fruit?

What exactly is a fruit anyhows?

..r analysis you will find that those claiming fruitarianism often follow completely different sets of rules…

Unquestionably FruitOne simple broad definition of fruit, is basically whatever botanically contains the seed of the plant. For example, there is generally absolutely no uncertainty that tomatoes are clearly fruits. As are apples, oranges, cucumbers, egg plant (aubergine), pumpkin, zucchini and chilly peppers..Apples, Oranges and Grapes.. Nuts are generally included too as the difference between nuts and fruits is botanically minimal.. –

The distinction being that fruit is the flesh around the seed, whereas nuts are the edible seeds themselves.. One might even therefore stretch the term to include sesame seeds, wheat grains and sunflower seed. Raspberries. Indeed, I recall that some years ago, a couple of my dear friends went out to Ireland to visitStrawberries.. a self proclaimed fruitarian living there.. She welcomed them and offered them a meal of toast, jam and peanut butter!!

Stretching the term to its utmost I suppose there is some truth in her definition. After all, her bread may have consisted of just wheat and water, and her jam may have been 100% fruit, Bowl of Fruits. and one can easily be forgiven for thinking that peanuts are the seeds of a plant.. (strictly speaking this is not true – they are more like potatoes, - tubers growing under the ground, attached to the roots of the plant).

Mangoes This is however, one extreme of the word to which I will not be referring.. Although it's not really implied in the term "fruitarian" itself, for most that practice it, the fruit is generally eaten in its raw ripe natural state. and not pulverized and cooked first..Durian.. The best food in the world. Breadfruit For many also, the term is not 100% strict, but just implies a raw vegan diet, consisting of predominantly fruit.. How much "predominantly" means is a subject of eternal debate. quote ons@

PS: The peanuts are famous about a courious thing: Their flowers come out to make peanuts and when they are ready to be planted, the peanut plants are planting their own peanuts into the ground.

The peanut is no nut, but a legume like the pea or the bean. The peanut plant grows almost in all hot lands. After the peanut plant has blossomed, the withered handles bend down to the earth and grow into the earth. Then the fruit pods really prosper in the earth. The typical peanut taste develops only with the roasting.

Hello everybody this is a great post.

My teeth are fine too.

But there really are fruity people who lose their teeth, hard to admit, noone knows why, who knows if it is minerals or acids, bulimia, nobody knows. I THINK its cause there are bad teeth, cavities, or root canals that are detoxing out.




I like fruitarianism. I like it. I love it. But its a hard life, one must remove all temptation which is everywhere. Be pure.
