well with mcdonalds we know it's not healthy and the people who eat mcdonalds are not evangalizing and telling everyone else to follow the same diet. this guy is making crazy health claims about his diet so it needs to be looked into. i encourage everyone who thinks protein is worthless to just listen to these cult leaders and become fruitarians because that's going to be the fastest way to see through all these lies. it doesn't take muscle off my body if someone wants to vegan propaganda and deny themselves protein.

so silly to say we didn't evolve to eat 15 oranges at once. he's right.... if in nature you came across a fruit tree, you would sit there and eat off of it into you're full... in fact you would likely live off it all season depending on the other fruit trees in the area if any
it's still "how much you eat"... remember he trains for and run marathons, this might mean another 2000 calories a day on top of metabolism and non-exercises activity. Some marathoners are known to burn up to 10.000 calories a day depending how long they run. Professional swimmers are known to burn 12.000 calories on a particularly training heavy day
I been on the Fruitarian path for about 4 years but I only eat fruit, no vegetables at all, I don't drink water, don't take supplements. Last year I ate just watermelon for 160 days and I just feel so much better eating this way than when I did on the s.a.d. I'll never go back. This lifestyle is cheap compared to how I used to eat cause I used to eat out a lot. I feel great all the time, it's such a simple way to live and eat, it's so easy. I don't use a stove, barely use the fridge, I have no dishes to wash, I don't own pots or pans or skillets, I don't cook, no recipes, and I don't eat nowhere near 6k calories a day, (wow that's a lot) but I don't run marathons either. 😊😊 the simplicity of this life is what I love. And imagine the only thing going in your body being fruits, the highest frequency food on the planet.
A few years ago I had severe problems with chronic Bronchitis to the extent that I could no longer work. As a last resort, I started a raw food diet. It was very difficult, But Michael was my inspiration to stick to it. My health got better and I'm a runner once again. Thank you Michael for being such a good role model !
Such a shame there's not much quality fruit around,especially here in the uk I must say, I would definitely live on mostly fruits if they were good quality, tasty, sugary, fruit.
Nutritional deficiencies: Fruitarians frequently have low levels of vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, iodine and omega-3 fatty acids, which can lead to anemia, tiredness, lethargy and immune system dysfunction. Low calcium can also cause osteoporosis.12 Mar 2021
They can study me too. Lost my gallbladder in an emergency surgery - arrived septic - on low carb/keto/atkins and had high BP. After 4 years reluctantly went to plant based / high starch diet.

The human body is still a mystery. Science has not completely figured it out yet. What this man here is saying is true. I’m a prior vegetarian. 2 years vegan. Now 4 months raw vegan.

I’m 58 and wish I had been eating this way my whole life. 😃👍
@@NaYnO777 I can answer this, our need for protein has been greatly exaggerated. If we look at one food that we know is meant for humans, we can see that we don't need as much protein as we think. Human milk has less than 1 percent protein by volume and the calories from protein are only about 6 percent. Human milk has the least amount of protein compared to the milk from all the other mammals. All fruits and vegetables have protein. All the fruits and vegetables have all the essential amino acids so there is no need to combine, or track because it's all there. Our bodies recycle protein, so we don't lose much protein day to day and therefore only need a little to maintain our bodies. The only way to be protein deficient is to not eat enough food.
This just proves everything I've been trying to figure out . I started jogging last month and as usual I got advice from people that I should eat alot of carbs mainly carbs from either rice, oats , bread etc ... I started bulking up on these hours before my first jog and I was disappointed I did not get the energy I needed. I was tired after 15 min into the jog but after I switched to a raw food diet and started jogging again my stamina and endurance has been through the roof ! It absolutely amazed me how much energy and endurance I have. I used to get excessive mucous building up when I ran on mainy Carbs but now that I'm on a raw diet my mucous is disappearing and I can breathe clearly through my nose. I also had issues with my knees which would hurt after running for a long time but now I don't even feel and I can run longer. Now I really believe that man is supposed to eat raw and not meat nor grains or whatever . You can still eat it but trust me raw is best. My mood has shifted , Im more happy ,Its almost like Im '' High'' all the time after I switched to completely raw . I'm not kidding try doing it and you'll see what I mean. Although I probably won't be raw all the way I'll most certainly consume more veggies than meat that's for sure ...
Yeah! thats because fruitsare a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are made up of all these little building blocks called saccrides, these then combine with one another in 'chains' to become types of sugars or starches. When you eat carbohydrates in, your body must break it down into saccrides before it can be metabolised as energy. Sugars, such as lactose or fructose, which occur in milk and fruit, are shorter chains of saccrides (usually only 1 or 2 saccrides long) so take less time & effort for your body to metabolise & therefore get you energy swifter. As opposed to the "Carbohydrates" food group which contains foods that contain starches as their main form of carbohydrate, these starches are longer saccride so take more time & more effort for your body to metabolise (turn into energy). This means that although it takes for the energy to be provided, it is produced slowly & gradually over a longer period of time (this does mean that the energy will last longer & keep you energised though), so this is why your rice, oats, carbs & bread (all STARCHY) couldn't provide you with the energy you suddenly needed fast enough. I hope this helps & is easy to understand. I have a habit of over explaining things. IF THIS SOUNDS CONDESENDING IM REALLY SORRY! not myintention. Also I am aware this was five years ago... How's your jogging goin?
The funny thing is...we think his diet is a bit bizarre but think about it, the answers always been right in our naïve know it all faces. Look at all the strongest longest living land mammals and other species on earth they are all plant eaters. That observation alone should have told us something
***** go find that fact and then comeback ....(Gorilla vs. Lion) I know you are going to search high and low just to play devils advocate if you want to eat meat feel free its your life but plant eaters RULE!!!
Your all focusing on the wrong part being strongest and forgot about longevity also. What about the Galápagos Tortoise? Herbivore and has a life span well beyond 100 years! That tells me something
Doctors would say he's not getting enough what ever, but thats because they will one day be put out of business when people stop listening to them and find out that what you eat can forever keep you out of a doctor's office. Doctors should be used for broken bones and major problems not stuff we can prevent by food and exercise.
True. Not hating on MD's, I believe most to be well-intentioned, but they're only as good as their training, and their nutrition training is scant, at best (don't take my word for it; look it up). Great for trauma, anything else I'm responsible.
Raw diets are great. I’ve done it and your body feels very light; and as a runner, you have so much endurance and you get this natural high because you feel soooo light.
Not being concerned about his health, Not paying for prescribed medications, and Not spending time in hospitals (with all their risks). All are fascinating.
Why do people resist what they don't know as opposed to studying what they don't know and possibly learn something. If I decide to become a fruitarian and do my biomarkers and a regular basis and those biomarkers show that everything is above average then that must mean that the form of eating is working. People are so afraid of what they don't know. People are so afraid to go against the norm. I applaud this man
I filmed some of that footage shown of the festival!!!! So cool that this was on national television. Mike is super inspiring. EVERYONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE THE LOVE, THE JOY AND THE FRUIT AT THE WOODSTOCK FRUIT FESTIVAL 2014!!!!!!!!!!
Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet Healing System, page 3 “An indescribable feeling never known before of better health, more vital energy, better efficiency, and more endurance and strength came to me and gave me great joy and happiness just to be alive. This was not only of the physical, but there was a great change in my mental ability to perceive, to remember, greater courage and hope, and above all an insight into the spiritual which became like a sunrise, throwing light upon all higher and spiritual problems. All my faculties were improved, far surpassing their best during my healthiest and best youth. My physical efficiency and endurance became wonderfully increased.”
What an interesting interview! After reading the comments I see that people are quite twisted when it comes to the fruitarian diet. This young man speaks highly of himself because he has a right to based on how he feels. It's not about how we feel about him. If anyone listens to this video interview keep in mind that he eats other foods, not just fruits and vegetables. He says his vitamin B12 is low and he supplements, but I also have questions regarding his past prior to eating this way because he could have had vitamin B 12 deficiency before becoming a fruitarian.
If your gut flora is good and high, the good bacteria will produce plenty of vitamin b12. I drink a homemade fermented sprouted rye drink everyday and my vitamin b12 levels have never been low. at one point they were way above. whether you eat meat or not, you need good gut flora. I've been this way for almost 20 years.
True, also we dont know the effect of eating so much or training and performing so hard have on things like vitamin levels. Also remember many animal foods eaters also have b12 deficiencies
Sad to say. Even people not doing raw food diets could be deficient in b12. Its not uncommon. It's just misuderstood and misrepresented. How often do people get blood panels to see their b12 levels? Not until something drastic happened to them.
Great work! I admire you. I start tomorrow morning...went out and purchased quite a bit of fruit..hoping it will last for 1- 2 weeks but not sure. Pray and wish me luck .want to be like you.. lol. What's your secret? Need all the help I can get...thinking it is going to be difficult to change my taste buds. But, I have been meat free for over a month. I stop eating pork and seafood 5 years ago. But now I want to be done with all meats and dairy. .lol..but I love bread and pasta. I have discovered I love veggies....I'm going to see how this goes!
How do you feel now? I felt great the first year. After year 2 I started having major health issues and after year my teeth all got work done and 3 root canals. At almost year 4 mental health issues began. Now healing with meat and a balance diet muscle tone is back, no more sunken eyes , no more yellow skin, no anxiety. I recommend a year of detox vegan diet but not longer than that.
Genesis 1:29 (KJV) And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Steve Jobs was not a fruitarian and only tried to go all fruits at the end of his life when it was obviously too late. Human body is meant to consume fruit, our species is a frugivore species.
he's wearing veneers or has fake teeth. a lot of fruitarians have fake teeth because all the sugar and acidity has made their teeth rotting away.. fruit is healthy, very much so. but marinating your teeth in fruit juices 24/7 wreaks havoc on the enamel.
Kenyan's have an evolutionary advantage to running over other races and even other black people. To be a white guy and to come in behind that group of people is impressive.
Sorry my guy you are not 3-5% body fat. Essential body fat for a male is around 3-6%. Pro bodybuilders during competition go as low as about 5% fat and they only do that for short amounts of time. Not to mention they are so depleted they are not at their physical peak. This guy is lean definitely sub 10% fat but nowhere near 3%.
Fruits , raw vegetables like lettuce , tomatoes , carrots are really good , some nuts too we don't need anything more than just those 3 groups , occasionally just add some goat milk / cheese and you are all set no need meat at all
He didn't clarify - fruit is complete. "low in -------" "They" say the same "incomplete" line about vegetarian diets too. (Yet I just put up my vid "Vegan 19 year anniversary") The 80-10-10 book explains why fruit-based eating is natural for us. Some experts teach the pyramid because: all those extra foods are integrated into our society, and most people won't give them up. They teach it, not because we somehow need cows-food....and their muscles too.
i’m on a raw fruite diet atm, on my 20th day, only defects i’ve experienced are, light headed when i get up, legs felt a bit weak. i’m assuming maybe bcs iwasnt eating enough? istarted eating more and ithink it’s been better still going at it tho, im doing it until 30 days.
@@jojones4685um.. a fruit diet means *only* eating raw fruits. No veggies, grains, etc. just fruits. Do I think it’s healthy? Not really. But ppl do what they do.
Yesterday was my first day eating fruit all day but after work when I got home at midnight I had a half a Hershey bar and handful of chips. Today is my first day only eating veggies and fruit and I’m going to make sure to keep it that way tonight when I get home
I was RawVegan and 90% of my diet was fruit and I always wondered how my muscles growing fast and I have all that crazy energy to left weights and workout twice a day specially my diet has no protein and fat !?!?!?!
Raw fruits and vegetables have protein and fat. Just not as much. Beans, lentils, legumes have more than enough protein for all people to lead a healthy lifetyle, including those that work out. The myth that they don't is pushed by the meat industry and heavy meat eaters so they can justify all their meat eating and killing of animals to be used as food.
You are getting protein and fat somewhere or you die. Maybe avocado for fat or olive oil etc, there is some protein in fruit if you eat ton of it. Guava has 4.2 grams protein per cup. Ill stick w steak though, to each their own.
@@LKN4WARit's never "to each their own" if your nutrients must come from exploiting , torturing a kind animal " and then feasting on the rotten corpse but yea maybe it makes sense if you have absolutely no other choice.
Thanks for paving the way~ Fruit is the ultimate food. Mangos, watermelon, figs, grapes, cherries, bananas, jackfruit, persimmons, endless varieties. We are fortunate to live in a time where an abundance is available to most people. My plan is to grow as many fruit trees as possible. I love fruit, children love fruit, my dog loves fruit. What more is there to say ; D Fruit is supreme. And yes, there are amino acids which are the building blocks of protein, in fruit.
Actually, if man evloved from apes then fruits and vegetables are our diet .... no? I hear you on all that sugar but I don't thing sugar directly from fruit is as harmful as "white" sugar of white bread or processed anything for that matter. Also consider what all that fruit replaces. No processed food, meat , candy, etc. How can that be bad?
Shop around and also buy frozen. There are farmer’s markets and food co-ops. Also, Costco. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Also, we all must start growing our own.
All the Kenyans and Ethiopians running closer to 2:00 that. 2:30 for the marathon probably eat much more meat than fruit. here's how the first man to run under 2 hours eats: th-cam.com/video/nDyoo0FaNTQ/w-d-xo.html but glad this guy found what works for him. The human body is remarkably adaptable
1). Sub 2:30 is considered ‘very quick’ for a woman, NOT for a man. 2). Everything he’s saying about his progression in running happens to thousands of other people on different diets; progression with proper training is normal 3). It’s not a perfect diet if you have to supplement 4). Just goes to show you that there are many diets that people perform well on. 5). This is a rich man’s diet since fruit is expensive (and this dude is a multi-millionaire btw).
Steve Jobs had worked during the summer at an apple farm, and admired the Beatles' record label, Apple. He also believed Apples to be the most perfect fruit. He and Steve Wozniak were trying to figure out a name for their new company, and they decided that if they couldn't think of one by the end of the day that was better than Apple, they would choose Apple. They couldn't think of anything better, so on April 1, 1976, Apple Computer, Inc. was born.
Right. But why is that the only alternative? A whole food, plant based Diet which includes tubers, grains and legumes is far better for the environment.
and it never tastes the same... ive eating thousands of watermelons and theyre always different due to where they're from, how ripe they are, what season it is (weather condition), etc. sooo many variables
The glycemic index classifies foods by how quickly they raise blood sugar and to what extent. According to the American Diabetes Association, high-fiber fruit tends to have a lower glycemic index. This is because dietary fiber slows uptake of glucose produced by digestion of carbohydrate, an effect that can significantly lessen the impact of sugar in fruit on your blood glucose.
People eat McDonald's and all, no one says anything, suddenly they see people eat raw fruits and vegetables and they ask if it's healthy
sadly
Right??!!! Makes no sense!!!😂

The funny thing is...we think his diet is a bit bizarre but think about it, the answers always been right in our naïve know it all faces. Look at all the strongest longest living land mammals and other species on earth they are all plant eaters. That observation alone should have told us something
***** go find that fact and then comeback ....(Gorilla vs. Lion) I know you are going to search high and low just to play devils advocate if you want to eat meat feel free its your life but plant eaters RULE!!!
okay and you are correct those are very strong animals
This is true but I did say land mammals
okay
Your all focusing on the wrong part being strongest and forgot about longevity also. What about the Galápagos Tortoise? Herbivore and has a life span well beyond 100 years! That tells me something
Mike rocks, 100 mile marathons and still kicking it! Fruitarian fitness for the win, 6 years Fruitarian and I LOVE IT!
Are you still fruitarian? 9years + 6 years would make you a 15 year fruitarian now if so?
No veggies for u ?
Right on! Sport performance is the reason i turned to a fruit based diet and i feel great everyday.
How do you feel today?
@@ayllietube6405 Probably dead, just like Steve Jobs
Doctors would say he's not getting enough what ever, but thats because they will one day be put out of business when people stop listening to them and find out that what you eat can forever keep you out of a doctor's office. Doctors should be used for broken bones and major problems not stuff we can prevent by food and exercise.
True. Not hating on MD's, I believe most to be well-intentioned, but they're only as good as their training, and their nutrition training is scant, at best (don't take my word for it; look it up). Great for trauma, anything else I'm responsible.
THIS IS SO FREAKING COOOOOOOOOOOL! Sharing & favoriting to spread the word, thanks Michael and team/co/everyone
Thank you Owen fox - Living an Inspired, Empowered & Enlivened LIFE!!. Kisses
I like Potatoes and you look like an ass, get the fuck out of here
Raw diets are great. I’ve done it and your body feels very light; and as a runner, you have so much endurance and you get this natural high because you feel soooo light.
Not being concerned about his health, Not paying for prescribed medications, and Not spending time in hospitals (with all their risks). All are fascinating.
Awesome guy, standing up for what's right. Another victory for us!
Awesome! He has clearly found something that works! Good for him, inspiring for me.
Why do people resist what they don't know as opposed to studying what they don't know and possibly learn something. If I decide to become a fruitarian and do my biomarkers and a regular basis and those biomarkers show that everything is above average then that must mean that the form of eating is working. People are so afraid of what they don't know. People are so afraid to go against the norm. I applaud this man
Me too. Amen! Lack of will power in most disbelievers, maybe followed by sheer ignorance and the following the societal norms/narrative
SO F TRUE!!
I filmed some of that footage shown of the festival!!!! So cool that this was on national television. Mike is super inspiring.
EVERYONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE THE LOVE, THE JOY AND THE FRUIT AT THE WOODSTOCK FRUIT FESTIVAL 2014!!!!!!!!!!
A goal in life should be to stay away from doctors. Not that hard to do if you control your diet and add movement. Which this young man is doing.
RAW FOOD FOR LIFE
And this guy looks pretty good also :)
Cholesterol is not a big deal. Fruitarian diet gives vitamin C, water that is better than out of a bottle, and carbs.
I wonder why CNN didn't bring this guy back on during the Corona Pandemic to talk about how he prepared for it...
Trump2024 👍
Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet Healing System, page 3
“An indescribable feeling never known before of better health, more vital energy, better efficiency, and more endurance and strength came to me and gave me great joy and happiness just to be alive. This was not only of the physical, but there was a great change in my mental ability to perceive, to remember, greater courage and hope, and above all an insight into the spiritual which became like a sunrise, throwing light upon all higher and spiritual problems. All my faculties were improved, far surpassing their best during my healthiest and best youth. My physical efficiency and endurance became wonderfully increased.”
He’s defined raised his vibration. Thats lovely :)
after a while you dont wanna eat anything else anymore :-)
WOW... really...that would be amazing.
So, I have to grow my own fruit? All the fruit in the US is treated with chemicals
He said he shopped at warehouses for his fruit
I like the fact that dr. gupta doesn't sound judgemental
What an interesting interview! After reading the comments I see that people are quite twisted when it comes to the fruitarian diet. This young man speaks highly of himself because he has a right to based on how he feels. It's not about how we feel about him. If anyone listens to this video interview keep in mind that he eats other foods, not just fruits and vegetables. He says his vitamin B12 is low and he supplements, but I also have questions regarding his past prior to eating this way because he could have had vitamin B 12 deficiency before becoming a fruitarian.
If your gut flora is good and high, the good bacteria will produce plenty of vitamin b12. I drink a homemade fermented sprouted rye drink everyday and my vitamin b12 levels have never been low. at one point they were way above. whether you eat meat or not, you need good gut flora. I've been this way for almost 20 years.
Eat some dirt from your unwashed vegetables or fruit from time to time = easy dose it :D
True, also we dont know the effect of eating so much or training and performing so hard have on things like vitamin levels. Also remember many animal foods eaters also have b12 deficiencies
Sad to say. Even people not doing raw food diets could be deficient in b12. Its not uncommon. It's just misuderstood and misrepresented. How often do people get blood panels to see their b12 levels? Not until something drastic happened to them.
He says after the last couple of years since becoming a fruitarian. Hey only eats fruits.
How could anyone afford to eat that much fruit? That like $150.00 a day!
he's rich... look it up
150? not sure how you got that number, im fruitarian and 150 lasts me around 2 weeks but also im not running 20 miles a day, more like 2 miles
he may be rich but when you require that much fruit you buy it in bulk or wholesale, not at the supermarket by the pound.
I'm a fruitarian. I spend on average $150 every 2-3 weeks.
Fruit life!!! I've been feeling amazing eating mostly fruit/raw and vegan for 4 months 🍉#✌🏽🐷🌱💚
Great work! I admire you. I start tomorrow morning...went out and purchased quite a bit of fruit..hoping it will last for 1- 2 weeks but not sure. Pray and wish me luck .want to be like you.. lol. What's your secret? Need all the help I can get...thinking it is going to be difficult to change my taste buds. But, I have been meat free for over a month. I stop eating pork and seafood 5 years ago. But now I want to be done with all meats and dairy. .lol..but I love bread and pasta. I have discovered I love veggies....I'm going to see how this goes!
I FEEL AMAZING EATING ONLY FRUIT!!!
All craving of junk disappeared!!
❤️❤️❤️
Same here
How do you feel now? I felt great the first year. After year 2 I started having major health issues and after year my teeth all got work done and 3 root canals. At almost year 4 mental health issues began. Now healing with meat and a balance diet muscle tone is back, no more sunken eyes , no more yellow skin, no anxiety. I recommend a year of detox vegan diet but not longer than that.
Veganism is evil fruitarian is the higher standard.
Please kindly continue posting your much appreciated videos
Yes, I do that with mangoes. I can eat 2 large mangoes, or 3 smaller ones as a meal. I've also done 5-6 bananas as a meal too. Thanks!
Wow, what an achievement to eat just one meal of fruit.
Have you eaten any more?
Not sustainable, the man has 4 fridges, how many of us can afford to pay for that and the fruits?
Bravo! Micheal, you grew younger! Keep up with the great work! U have a lot of us supporting u!
About 600 people attended this year's Woodstock Fruit Festival. This is just a fraction of the people thriving on this lifestyle.
thriving looking really skinny no musles
Only 240 maximum people from now on at WFF in Florida.
First time will be in January.
Genesis 1:29 (KJV) And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Steve Jobs was not a fruitarian and only tried to go all fruits at the end of his life when it was obviously too late. Human body is meant to consume fruit, our species is a frugivore species.
I'm always scared of people who're whitening their teeth. really.
His teeth look fake . I don’t think their his......
Frutarians get the worst teeth
I agree. Cringe.
Anonymouse 1 why
he's wearing veneers or has fake teeth. a lot of fruitarians have fake teeth because all the sugar and acidity has made their teeth rotting away..
fruit is healthy, very much so. but marinating your teeth in fruit juices 24/7 wreaks havoc on the enamel.
'I was the 5th American at the NY Marathon'. Behind all the Kenyans 🇰🇪 with their dairy and meat diet...
Kenyan's have an evolutionary advantage to running over other races and even other black people. To be a white guy and to come in behind that group of people is impressive.
Fake News Productions finally does something useful and presents real health
Jan Olav Solli yea lol, kinda surprised
Not really. fruit diet is not sustainable and missing vital nutrients. Ever see a 30 + year fruitarian?
HF7777777 yep
Sorry my guy you are not 3-5% body fat. Essential body fat for a male is around 3-6%. Pro bodybuilders during competition go as low as about 5% fat and they only do that for short amounts of time. Not to mention they are so depleted they are not at their physical peak.
This guy is lean definitely sub 10% fat but nowhere near 3%.
Wonderful! Love you Dr. Gupta and thanks for doing this interview. Michael Arnstein is amazing!
What I don't understand is why fruitarians don't eat vegetables too???? They're also plants.... just a bit less sugary
Fruits , raw vegetables like lettuce , tomatoes , carrots are really good , some nuts too we don't need anything more than just those 3 groups , occasionally just add some goat milk / cheese and you are all set no need meat at all
He didn't clarify - fruit is complete.
"low in -------" "They" say the same "incomplete" line about vegetarian diets too. (Yet I just put up my vid "Vegan 19 year anniversary")
The 80-10-10 book explains why fruit-based eating is natural for us.
Some experts teach the pyramid because: all those extra foods are integrated into our society, and most people won't give them up. They teach it, not because we somehow need cows-food....and their muscles too.
💯
i’m on a raw fruite diet atm, on my 20th day, only defects i’ve experienced are, light headed when i get up, legs felt a bit weak. i’m assuming maybe bcs iwasnt eating enough? istarted eating more and ithink it’s been better still going at it tho, im doing it until 30 days.
Are you getting enough vegetables and grains and other food groups?
@@jojones4685um.. a fruit diet means *only* eating raw fruits. No veggies, grains, etc. just fruits.
Do I think it’s healthy? Not really. But ppl do what they do.
I had a surplus in enzymes in my liver !! Was scared to death did this diet and became over my limits !! I’m as strong as a gorilla
Yesterday was my first day eating fruit all day but after work when I got home at midnight I had a half a Hershey bar and handful of chips. Today is my first day only eating veggies and fruit and I’m going to make sure to keep it that way tonight when I get home
3:15 what is that fruit ???
mame sapote! They're amazing!
I eat everything and I’m low on b12 too I heard it’s not from the diet I heard something else causes low b12
Put a Big Mac in front of someone no questions … eat fruit only tons of questions
Can an active 65 year old do this, without any health concerns?
Probably not. But eating mostly fruit, with sources of protein on the side, might work for you.
I was RawVegan and 90% of my diet was fruit and I always wondered how my muscles growing fast and I have all that crazy energy to left weights and workout twice a day specially my diet has no protein and fat !?!?!?!
Raw fruits and vegetables have protein and fat. Just not as much. Beans, lentils, legumes have more than enough protein for all people to lead a healthy lifetyle, including those that work out. The myth that they don't is pushed by the meat industry and heavy meat eaters so they can justify all their meat eating and killing of animals to be used as food.
What's your other 10%?
That’s intriguing
You are getting protein and fat somewhere or you die. Maybe avocado for fat or olive oil etc, there is some protein in fruit if you eat ton of it. Guava has 4.2 grams protein per cup. Ill stick w steak though, to each their own.
@@LKN4WARit's never "to each their own" if your nutrients must come from exploiting , torturing a kind animal " and then feasting on the rotten corpse but yea maybe it makes sense if you have absolutely no other choice.
He is amazing!!!
Thanks for paving the way~ Fruit is the ultimate food. Mangos, watermelon, figs, grapes, cherries, bananas, jackfruit, persimmons, endless varieties. We are fortunate to live in a time where an abundance is available to most people. My plan is to grow as many fruit trees as possible. I love fruit, children love fruit, my dog loves fruit. What more is there to say ; D Fruit is supreme. And yes, there are amino acids which are the building blocks of protein, in fruit.
High Carb Vegan diet for the win! Lose weight, gain muscle, look better and feel better. The benefits from this lifestyle never cease!
Love it I too am a fructarian no more lupus arthritis asthma skin disease, organ problems..
Actually, if man evloved from apes then fruits and vegetables are our diet .... no? I hear you on all that sugar but I don't thing sugar directly from fruit is as harmful as "white" sugar of white bread or processed anything for that matter. Also consider what all that fruit replaces. No processed food, meat , candy, etc. How can that be bad?
God gave us fruit and veggies, period!!
Did god plant them for you 😂 grow up
i guess im the only one who thinks these guys look the same, the host is his brother and he went to a tanning salon
The only thing I could say is how can you afford that much fruit? I’d love to do this, I’m a vegan and fruit are the most expensive items in my diet.
You should move to another country and grow them yourself
Shop around and also buy frozen.
There are farmer’s markets and
food co-ops. Also, Costco. Where
there’s a will, there’s a way. Also,
we all must start growing our own.
Fruits are cheaper than meat
Fruit trucks help me
2:39 “well well, the the” 😂
Love this! Don't knock it til you try it.
I did for a year and have serious health complications from it.
QuietCharisma never! Id be in the hospital a week after in a diabetic coma. Which is where fruitbats will end up.
I quit smoking and stopped drinking alcohol. 2 years sober, I feel great.
Am I gonna stop eating meat?
Umm... Probably not.
No one asked you at first place
plant based diet it is to go. cooked or raw...i do every much believe in fruits and raw food, but i love rice and beans and everything...
Look at him: he looks young and good!!
I literally feel the same way from this diet he’s not lying💯
All the Kenyans and Ethiopians running closer to 2:00 that. 2:30 for the marathon probably eat much more meat than fruit.
here's how the first man to run under 2 hours eats: th-cam.com/video/nDyoo0FaNTQ/w-d-xo.html
but glad this guy found what works for him. The human body is remarkably adaptable
watching this with my herculean bowl of fruits.. ❤
would it be better to do fruitarian+legumes? i am envisioning 60% fruit 30% legumes 10% vegetables (calorie-wise).
It’s really the best diet you can do💕. I’m so in love with fruits and vegetables
1). Sub 2:30 is considered ‘very quick’ for a woman, NOT for a man. 2). Everything he’s saying about his progression in running happens to thousands of other people on different diets; progression with proper training is normal 3). It’s not a perfect diet if you have to supplement 4). Just goes to show you that there are many diets that people perform well on. 5). This is a rich man’s diet since fruit is expensive (and this dude is a multi-millionaire btw).
Michael is such a great role model for frutarianism
skinny wimpy looking man thats what fruit only eating does to ya dumbshit
How would it be like for each house to have 4 fridges?
0:32 No teeth bleaching here no
B12 - overeating, intrinsic factor,
And
Commercial produce: we need wild foraged foods, and spring water straight from source to have b12.
I love 80/10/10, almost two years raw now:)
Steve Jobs had worked during the summer at an apple farm, and admired the Beatles' record label, Apple. He also believed Apples to be the most perfect fruit. He and Steve Wozniak were trying to figure out a name for their new company, and they decided that if they couldn't think of one by the end of the day that was better than Apple, they would choose Apple. They couldn't think of anything better, so on April 1, 1976, Apple Computer, Inc. was born.
He was a fruititarian!!
Fruit for the win! Went to the fruit festival myself and loved every minute! Michael Arnstein is the man for putting on such an awesome event!
Right. But why is that the only alternative? A whole food, plant based Diet which includes tubers, grains and legumes is far better for the environment.
and it never tastes the same... ive eating thousands of watermelons and theyre always different due to where they're from, how ripe they are, what season it is (weather condition), etc.
sooo many variables
The glycemic index classifies foods by how quickly they raise blood sugar and to what extent. According to the American Diabetes Association, high-fiber fruit tends to have a lower glycemic index. This is because dietary fiber slows uptake of glucose produced by digestion of carbohydrate, an effect that can significantly lessen the impact of sugar in fruit on your blood glucose.
Thank you!!! didnt know this, is it the same with vegetables too?
still not good idea to eat fruit only most people i noticed doing this are very skinny some anorexic looking no muscle
Thank-you,.. you make me feel like I want to do this.
And about the sugar...fruits are mono sugars like honey. They are not processed nor refined sugars. Again, the body can assimilate those right away
yup. gonna try the fruit and rice diet way back from 1940s. to hopefully cure my kidney disease.
weesall weesall check out dr Robert morse channel for your kidney issue he can help u
Fruit diet will help your kidneys tremendously try it for a month a do ablood test to see the function of your kidneys
Will never regret it
I thought fruitarians are vegetarians who eat their vegetables that only fell from the ground and thought cooking them is cruel.
