@@harvdog5669 what I eat varies but typically a variety of foods starting with juices or fruit or smoothies in the mornings and working my way into bigger salads etc in early afternoon - I typically consume 2500 to 3000 calories a day I eat 100% raw
“When metabolic systems are uncluttered & free from metabolic, acidic, & toxic byproducts” - This is takeaway for me! Brilliant, intuitive & really oh so simple!
They're all bursting with Positive energy 🤍 My Breakfast: 1. Fresh watermelon 🍉 smoothie with ice and a bit water Lunch: Mandarin, red grapes 🍇, ice smoothie w/ grapes on the side Dinner: sweet potatoes, avocado 🥑, bell pepper, red onion, wrap I feel Fantastic...and Excited for what's to come next 🥰
Beware if u eat those bell peppers skin, almond skin,tomatoes skin n seeds has lectin they are poison, peel them before eat, almonds soak with hot water, tomato peel n get rid of seeds love n light beautiful soul Namaste
@@GillianBerryyour body language suggest that you're very uncomfortable? Why is your siting level higher then your two guests ? The two of you look very unnatural from my perspective.
Eli doesnt eat "enough" and he is thriving Eli doesnt take supplements and he is thriving His diet is simple and he is not into putting it into chronometer. I love this approach. Where is the truth?.....
So love this vid! I love everyone's beautiful energy and aura. This is truly amazing and inspirational! I've also started to do fruits for at least one to two meals a day. I transitioned from vegetarian to vegan a year ago due to skin issues. Thanks so much Gillian for inviting Eli. Just enjoyed learning from him.
This guy is a hero. I will check out on his freemelon society channel. I thought I needed to know lots of preparations before eating fresh. But now I know I can eat only mango or only soursop and live. Gillian your channel is really transforming my life situation.
I agree with mono fruit and performance. I have the best hikes when I'm on fruit juices, or mono fruits, like dates. I'm talking about full day, high altitude, 40 lbs on my back hiking steep rugged hills. Fruit gives you the most energy/power because it's so easily and cleanly assimilated and used by the body. Using green juices, and small amount if seeds, only adds to the benefits imo. But good to see Eli proving that fruit, even from Canadian stores is still an optimal food source for our body.
💯 yeah fruit really gives so much energy !! That's when I have my most high energy on fruit, which I eat all morning till lunch and then sometimes do fruit mono cleanses !
I love this guys frequency , he is so legit and right on!! Super amazing!! Throwing down the truth!! Thanks so much guys!! Great interview!! Great job everyone!!! 🎉🙏🏻❤️
Glad you had Eli on I've followed his channel for 2 years and he makes things so simple diet and lifestylewise. I'm still on my raw vegan journey 12 months in with a few cooked food drop offs along the way. The simpler the meal the better I feel anyway great 3 way video Gillian, keep up the good work and spreading the RAW (Really Awesome Way) message in this sick and getting sicker world
Gillian, I love how generous you are with your compliments. You are a beautiful person inside and out and that is why you are so expressive. You are the best host. By the way, it's my first time watching your channel. New subscriber!!!
Gillian, thank you for providing this incredibly valuable content on your channel. You are such a considerate, generous and encouraging host; very much looking forward to future interviews.
This is very inspiring! Thank you for this interview. I remember when I first heard about fruitarians, I thought they were CRAZY. But I've been raw vegan now for a few months now, and I'm realizing that the more fruit I eat and the less vegetables I eat, better I feel. It's not hard at all for me to imagine just living off of mostly fruits at this point.
Wow Gillian..what's in the water in Toronto?!?! So many brilliant people with great channels and lifestyles. If I'm not mistaken Casey of Vegetable Police channel is also in Toronto and I love his channel as well. This was a great interview and I have been watching Eli for a couple of years now and he has some really cool content. I am loving your recent videos and you are going from strength to strength and providing entertainment but with such helpful and inspirational information for people on a wide range of journeys and levels! Keep it going my friend you are on fire! Thanks as always, love, light and peace!!!
Hi G! SO happy you loved the interview and are loving the fellow Toronto raw vegans!! I am so happy to connect with them! And Aline is not too far from Toronto either and we will be announcing some amazing collab work soon!!! Yes you are right Casey is from here as well! It is nice to show people you can still make it work even in North America in a cold climate and even in the city. Thank you for the beautiful love and support - I truly appreciate it! I have so many great videos coming up that I have been working hard on! 😀💜
Very interesting presentation, Gillian; your guests were wonderful. Eli is very well-spoken; I thought I detected a bit of ‘Canadiana’ in his accent. Just subscribed to your excellent channel - greetings from Greece! Are all three of you from Toronto?
Loved the interview. If I wasn't always working I would respond more. How you reply back to ever comment it just unbelievable. I love your channel Gillian.
Wow Gillian I’m so excited to see this video I’ve done a lot of thinking about this fruit diet and not having so much to digest I’m getting ready to tackle a very long juice fast and have considered a more fruit based diet after I think the water content and minerals in fruits can be healthy obvious it shows in Eli you three all look great by the way love your dress that winter color looks fabulous on you🍌🍇🍓
Hi Laura !!! Love you !!! Thanks for the beautiful compliments and comment! The fruits do have so much water content and are so easy to digest ! The more fruit I eat, the better I feel! But I do still eat lots of greens and some nuts and soaked lentils and beans ! Love your channel, Laura ! 🌸
Really loved this video, I am on the way to hopefully becoming a fruitarian, great information and put so eloquently !! thanks and kindest Regards from the UK - Nick.

You're all beautiful. Thank you for this interview. I came here via Vegetable Police. In case you do a second interview, I'd love to know: 1. Where does Eli buy his fruit in Toronto? 2. I find much organic fruit doesn't get ripe so does he eat non-organic for much of his fruit? 3. How many times a week does he buy his fruit? (Sounds like he has a car so maybe he can buy enough in one trip.) 4. Does he have any suggestions for fruit ripening? 5. Any teeth or gum issues? 6. I was surprised. It sounds like he doesn't have to eat much. Did that change over time, did he initially have to eat more? 7. Did he encounter detox symptoms?
Great questions Linda !! I did a part two already that will be posted in January! I believe I asked a couple of these but not all ! I can keep them aside for. part 3 though ! ❤️❤️❤️
This is the best conversation that I have watched on you tube about raw fruit 🍌 🍎 diet 🍉 Eli you are amazing. I haven’t seen any of your videos but I was so motivated by your experience that I stopped this video in the middle to go on your channel and subscribed it immediately.
I just yesterday watched your video on woman who did long juice fast and today this one..! These are really helping me at deep level feel is possible.. Thanku..!
Yes, I do believe (some) greens are not palatable as they are - they need to be put with fruit in a smoothie (Victoria Boutenko made greens accessible to us through smoothies).
Goodness gracious now this interview…I didn’t know of this brother until you mentioned him; then I searched your channel to see if you had an interview with him. I must say sister…right off the back, there is something really encouraging and also re-assuring about just looking at the brother but then to hear what he is saying. Thanks for interviewing him. Funny; or strangely, he actually looks and sounds just like how I’ve envisioned myself looking and sounding like. Actually, he looks and sounds like….🤔 well…it’s like a vision of me looking at my own self; like…me in some way. Right now I look like a wolf because I let all my hair grow everywhere on my head. Lol. But when iam all shaved up and skin headed like that, it’s like that. Maybe I’m not making myself as clear as I’d like. lol. I don’t know his spiritual belief or his faith but to some degree, I can see myself in him; I’m also into boxing and martial arts. Yeah if we ever met you’d know what I mean. But what I see him in is, a me, completely successful. In my life I’m still struggling and going through battles and I haven’t really reached that place yet . So I’m envisioning myself having already reached the top of the mountain by looking at him.
The top of the mountain meaning: getting to be consistently successful within the faith that I have together with just eating fruits and greens. Getting to where I can be where God is longing for me to get to be during this life so I can then do what He really wants me todo.
Thank you so much to all of you. This video gave me so much hope knowing what is ahead when one follows a completely raw vegan diet. I am leaning towards mostly fruitarian manly due to how I feel when I consume only fruit. Keep the videos coming. I truly devour them! Much love!💚
@@GillianBerry Thank you Gillian! I have to tell you I too am in Ontario. When I saw the Bloor St market you were at I had to see exactly where it was. You are fortunate to have a lot of fresh markets. Here in London we have a few. Happy Easter to you as well.
@@pennimoore3834 oh no way that's awesome !! yes you are close !! I have only been to London once ! in the summers are the farmers markets decent there ?!
Yesss! Giraffes!! 🦒😍 I loved that example... giraffes have always been my favorite animal, lol!! Great video you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing!! 🤩🙏🏼💝👁✨
Not boring to hear how & what you eat in a day - exactly the info I was looking for - intermittent fasting, no regimentation, mono fruits, generally; not vast, vast amounts (as some fruitarians or raw fooders seem to accomplish & which puts me off - I cannot imagine consuming vast quantities of a food at a time) - your eating intuitive - listening to your body. You make fruitarian diet seem liveable to me. & no juices or smoothies - not gallons of liquid on top of the food. Thanks!
Hello Gillian, are you thinking of having Anthony William aka medical medium appear on your channel? That would be interesting because apparently potatoes restore the digestive system and he could give you a lot of information on this subject.
I did a part two with Eli 😁 will post it when I receive it back from my editor. He's a bit backed up because I've been filming so many lately so will prob post part two in Jan but stay tuned it's super good Eli is awesome!!!
So happy you liked it !! Have another really good one I am posting this weekend where she saved her life on a juice cleanse !! & also more videos with Eli coming soon 😁
I see you look great the 3 of you. And that ayurvedic approach against raw food resonates in me as something so less true to hear. The 3 of you have a glow I wish I had. Wish you the best always.
My favorite fruit is melon, more than watermelon and I am glad we can have it even in cold places, tropical fruits ate the tastier, the sun is the best stove, to make them the best taste.
Fruit can be mixed up. I can do a like a berry winter salad for example with a fruit juice and water dressing. I could splurge and do a tropical fruit salad in summer with the most amazing exotic tropical dragon fruit - fresh coconut - durian - mangoes - bananas of course - with sprinkled coconut water. Or how bout a melon salad with every type of melon I can get locally.
Good video! I would've liked him to address other potential nutritional deficiencies on the fruitarian diet, especially considering he doesn't take any supplements. Things like B12, EPA/DHA, iodine, selenium etc. I know he spoke a lot about protein but that's the least of my concerns. I'll have to go scour his channel for more info 😊
Hey that's a great question!! I just did a part two with him I think we addressed supplements a little but I can't remember now. But I agree those are all super important ! I take all of those.
What's crackin holmes!, right okay so B12... b12 deficiency is never a function of "lack of B12".. it is always a function of sluggishness or insensitivity to the body's own production of endogenous B12. (case in point meat eaters who have b12 deficiencies just like vegans can). EPA/DHA: Literally impossible not to have perfect omega ratios eating only fruit. Fruit is designed to have just the right amount of fat you need, with perfect ratios. Iodine Selenium.. Most fruits have all the minerals required, just not in the huge concentrations we're told are necessary. I just shot an updated "what i ate today" video (not up yet), and plugged in my values. with a diet of 3 types of fruit for the day, the mineral profile was all there, (again, just not in the high concentrations we're misled to believe is necessary). And now of course, tying this in to the more obvious. We are clearly not intended to have to worry about dietary elements that are outside of our perceptual range. Mother nature has created a system whereby the microscopic world is her exclusive domain. The organism's job is not to worry about things they would have absolutely no clue exist. your job is to recognize and respond to what you CAN perceive and account for, and eat those foods. Nature takes care of the rest. Also. All these elements you mentioned represent a fraction of the nutrient profile that exists. most elements are unknown to science. The elements we do recognize are all given lots of play in literature why?.. because supplements have been manufactured for them,. . thus, our nutritional worries are largely a product of... marketing.
@@TheFreeMelonSociety wow thank you! I've always had a sneaking suspicion a lot of the "recommended daily allowance" was bs and marketing to make a profit off supplements because it seems so arduous to get everything you "need."
Most people who enjoy these things will say something to this effect yes. of course when tasked with making a meal of JUST cilantro, or JUST parsley (as seems to be the case throughout the natural world), or JUST any culinary flavor enhancer,....it is at that point generally when the realization i refer to kicks in. A grazing herbivore, can dine on grass all day every day and be perfectly content. If we were to attempt this with the purported enjoyable food (cilantro), we would be hit inevitably with the reality of cilantro's insuitability as a prime element of diet. Taking the same example from the fruit world, one could take JUST grapes for many weeks, and be in radiant health, with great satiation. A Mono-cilantro eater would take no such satisfaction from each meal, and not do nearly as well. Even though we might say "i like the taste of cilantro".. it's almost a sure fire guarantee that not once in the lifetime has that very person ever come home from a long day of work, famished and hungry, and eagerly loaded up a mixing bowl full of plain straight cilantro. A curious thing. On the other hand, you could definitely do this with plain straight (insert fruit of choice). Lastly, i think we would be lying to ourselves if we were forced to choose between a meal of mono cilantro, and a meal of mono (Any fruit). As humans, your taste buds will inevitably prefer the taste of a food that is more calorie concentrated. We barely have a choice in that matter, that's how the taste senses work. It's why obesity is problem. ----- NOTE ** None of this is being said to dissuade the use of cilantro, or parsley or spinach.. Pleeeeease please please don't mistake my intention. I've written this here not to discourage the use of healthy plants in the diet. I've written this so that we reconnect with what our senses AAActually reveal about the food we eat, and so that we are not under any delusions about what exactly we are. Does that make sense? I've added parsley and cilantro to maany many dishes before, and have no problem recommending them to anyone wanting to get healthy. These are very nutritious elements of the diet and well get you well. They make perfect flavor enhancers for sauces, salads and soups. What i have definitely Never done, nor ever will do, is Make a meal of a massive bowl of plain parsley. (nor will anyone else likely) All i'm doing is framing the concept so that we have a better idea of who and what we are with no cultural misconceptions. God bless my friend! enjoy!
thank you for writing. I had a gf who was the only person I ever saw eat mono cilantro basically lol. My friend and I joked "Handfuls of cilantro" whenever we needed a laugh. I agree with you wholeheartedly, and actually had a massive bowl of grapes TODAY when I came home lol. Peace be with you.
They are very dry. All dis-eases are caused from toxicity and dehydration. They actually have toxins, as all herbs and vegetables have. Water rich lettuces have the least toxic effects, which is why some fruitarians make that exception.
Eli’s explanation of “protein” vs. amino acids 🏡 really just finally helped me understand the entire protein concept. Thank you for this interview Gillian & Eli!🙌🏽🙏🏽💖💖💖
i don't think Eli has ever struggled with that here in Canada ! neither have I as a raw vegan ! great stuff like citrus, grapes, apples etc in season in fall and winter ! and for me i add in some staples like bananas etc and love the winter as a time to juice cleanse as well for a period ! xoxo
I’m towards the end of the video. I wanted to hear him get more specific as to why exactly lead him to go just fruits. Does he think it is better than greens or than a fruit and green diet?
I did a part two I will share soon !! He did go a bit into that in both videos I believe. And we are pretty close friends now so I will def have him back for third time and ask him to expand more on that !
Actually wished I liked sweet potatoes. I get da purple ones here. Heard they are good for you but I don’t like them a whole lot. I’m not raw or vegan. Am vegetarian am have wanted to eat high raw but I really love cooked foods. And i prefer fruits to greens. It’d be really hard for me to eat just or mainly fruits in the winter as I get cold easily and I live in Hawaii
Hi all, I am currently 304 lbs. If I do the fruits diet and eat nothing but fruits/veggies, I know I will definitely lose a lot of weight, but the question is, will I end up with loose skin?and if yes, is there way to avoid that?
UPDATE; Hey guys ! 👋 part 2 has been filmed & shared as well & can be viewed here: th-cam.com/video/WEx7V3s2YMc/w-d-xo.html
What is a mono fruit ?
How much weight and fat did Eli loose over 6 yrs eating fruit.
Ladies,, what do you two eat ??
I eat veggies cooked & Raw, Fruit, Berries, Organic beans, mixed unsalted nuts..
@@harvdog5669 mono fruit is where you eat only one fruit - so the same fruit for either a meal or a period of time
@@harvdog5669 what I eat varies but typically a variety of foods starting with juices or fruit or smoothies in the mornings and working my way into bigger salads etc in early afternoon - I typically consume 2500 to 3000 calories a day

💯 yeah fruit really gives so much energy !! That's when I have my most high energy on fruit, which I eat all morning till lunch and then sometimes do fruit mono cleanses !
And chew on the long pine needles for energy also n then spit them out or make tea. But we just chew them. A bit Bitter but excellent for energy.
Yea thats my concern, is the Canadian fruit in the stores seems to suck!! some of it has no taste... i wish i can get fresh tasty fruit.
I love dates too and find that when i start my day with dates i have more energy 💓

This is the best conversation that I have watched on you tube about raw fruit 🍌 🍎 diet 🍉 Eli you are amazing. I haven’t seen any of your videos but I was so motivated by your experience that I stopped this video in the middle to go on your channel and subscribed it immediately.
💟💟💟💟
Oh, Eli just talks so much sense!!
Wuhhhhuuuu so happy to see eli here. Kisses to both of you !
😘 😘 😘
I just yesterday watched your video on woman who did long juice fast and today this one..! These are really helping me at deep level feel is possible.. Thanku..!
That's so great I'm so happy to hear
Yes, I do believe (some) greens are not palatable as they are - they need to be put with fruit in a smoothie (Victoria Boutenko made greens accessible to us through smoothies).
Goodness gracious now this interview…I didn’t know of this brother until you mentioned him; then I searched your channel to see if you had an interview with him. I must say sister…right off the back, there is something really encouraging and also re-assuring about just looking at the brother but then to hear what he is saying. Thanks for interviewing him. Funny; or strangely, he actually looks and sounds just like how I’ve envisioned myself looking and sounding like. Actually, he looks and sounds like….🤔 well…it’s like a vision of me looking at my own self; like…me in some way. Right now I look like a wolf because I let all my hair grow everywhere on my head. Lol. But when iam all shaved up and skin headed like that, it’s like that. Maybe I’m not making myself as clear as I’d like. lol. I don’t know his spiritual belief or his faith but to some degree, I can see myself in him; I’m also into boxing and martial arts. Yeah if we ever met you’d know what I mean. But what I see him in is, a me, completely successful. In my life I’m still struggling and going through battles and I haven’t really reached that place yet . So I’m envisioning myself having already reached the top of the mountain by looking at him.
The top of the mountain meaning: getting to be consistently successful within the faith that I have together with just eating fruits and greens. Getting to where I can be where God is longing for me to get to be during this life so I can then do what He really wants me todo.
Love you guys and the content, thanks for the knowledge!!!
Thanks! glad you're enjoying the content! take care!
Thank you so much to all of you. This video gave me so much hope knowing what is ahead when one follows a completely raw vegan diet. I am leaning towards mostly fruitarian manly due to how I feel when I consume only fruit. Keep the videos coming. I truly devour them! Much love!💚
I'm so happy it helped Penni!! Have a great Easter weekend!
@@GillianBerry Thank you so much Gillian! You and Eli are a God send! I just found your channel a few days ago and I am so happy I discovered it!
@@pennimoore3834 welcome to the channel ! am happy to have you here !
@@GillianBerry Thank you Gillian! I have to tell you I too am in Ontario. When I saw the Bloor St market you were at I had to see exactly where it was. You are fortunate to have a lot of fresh markets. Here in London we have a few. Happy Easter to you as well.
@@pennimoore3834 oh no way that's awesome !! yes you are close !! I have only been to London once ! in the summers are the farmers markets decent there ?!
Yesss! Giraffes!! 🦒😍
I loved that example... giraffes have always been my favorite animal, lol!! Great video you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
🤩🙏🏼💝👁✨
You're welcome, Jessica !! So happy you loved it! 💜
Amazing 👏👏👏
Not boring to hear how & what you eat in a day - exactly the info I was looking for - intermittent fasting, no regimentation, mono fruits, generally; not vast, vast amounts (as some fruitarians or raw fooders seem to accomplish & which puts me off - I cannot imagine consuming vast quantities of a food at a time) - your eating intuitive - listening to your body. You make fruitarian diet seem liveable to me. & no juices or smoothies - not gallons of liquid on top of the food. Thanks!
Another great interview, Gillian! It's lovely to hear different experiences of the raw vegan wat of life ✌️💗
glad you liked it!! part two that i filmed with Eli is coming this week or next!!
Yeah I love sharing others' experiences!!
Have a great night Mandy!
Hello Gillian, are you thinking of having Anthony William aka medical medium appear on your channel? That would be interesting because apparently potatoes restore the digestive system and he could give you a lot of information on this subject.
Great video!
Thanks Aaron ! I'm glad you liked it.
We need more
I did a part two with Eli 😁 will
post it when I receive it back from
my editor. He's a bit backed up because I've been filming so many lately so will prob post part two in Jan but stay tuned it's super good Eli is awesome!!!
Awesome video!!!!
😁😁😁
great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!!! xoxo
nice interview
So happy you liked it !! Have another really good one I am posting this weekend where she saved her life on a juice cleanse !!
& also more videos with Eli coming soon 😁
@@GillianBerry great! looking forward to it! im happy to be able to learn from your experiences and your guests.
Vry inspiring vdo , also brngs my mind to be an raw gegan or a fruitarian😌🥰🥰
Lots of love from indiaa
so beautiful and healthy-looking
💖💖💖
This is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!! 🌸🍊🌱🌻❤️
so happy you think so ! Part two with Eli coming soon too !! ❤️❤️
Oh YAY!!!!!!!
I had a friend once who was a fruitarian - fruit is very sugary & rotted his teeth. He went through a lot of pain & he had a horrible time.
I see you look great the 3 of you. And that ayurvedic approach against raw food resonates in me as something so less true to hear. The 3 of you have a glow I wish I had. Wish you the best always.
My favorite fruit is melon, more than watermelon and I am glad we can have it even in cold places, tropical fruits ate the tastier, the sun is the best stove, to make them the best taste.
What is your opinion on drinking matcha? I don’t drink coffee or cocoa anymore. But I really like matcha with oat milk with no sugar.
hey ! i've never had matcha and don't know much about it so can't say ! but if you love it then i say go for it !
Eli is a treasure.
He is ! He will be on the channel again !
Holy molly! Eli is 38? For a caucasian guy who is 38 and looks like he's 25, mannnnn! I'm going fruitarian now. Really!
yeah he really looks awesome in person!
Do you offer one on one consultation?
Hi Celia! I am considering doing that because a lot of people have been asking...I will keep you posted!
Fruit can be mixed up. I can do a like a berry winter salad for example with a fruit juice and water dressing. I could splurge and do a tropical fruit salad in summer with the most amazing exotic tropical dragon fruit - fresh coconut - durian - mangoes - bananas of course - with sprinkled coconut water.
Or how bout a melon salad with every type of melon I can get locally.
Good video! I would've liked him to address other potential nutritional deficiencies on the fruitarian diet, especially considering he doesn't take any supplements. Things like B12, EPA/DHA, iodine, selenium etc. I know he spoke a lot about protein but that's the least of my concerns. I'll have to go scour his channel for more info 😊
Hey that's a great question!! I just did a part two with him I think we addressed supplements a little but I can't remember now.
But I agree those are all
super important ! I take all of those.
What's crackin holmes!, right okay so B12... b12 deficiency is never a function of "lack of B12".. it is always a function of sluggishness or insensitivity to the body's own production of endogenous B12. (case in point meat eaters who have b12 deficiencies just like vegans can). EPA/DHA: Literally impossible not to have perfect omega ratios eating only fruit. Fruit is designed to have just the right amount of fat you need, with perfect ratios. Iodine Selenium.. Most fruits have all the minerals required, just not in the huge concentrations we're told are necessary. I just shot an updated "what i ate today" video (not up yet), and plugged in my values. with a diet of 3 types of fruit for the day, the mineral profile was all there, (again, just not in the high concentrations we're misled to believe is necessary). And now of course, tying this in to the more obvious. We are clearly not intended to have to worry about dietary elements that are outside of our perceptual range. Mother nature has created a system whereby the microscopic world is her exclusive domain. The organism's job is not to worry about things they would have absolutely no clue exist. your job is to recognize and respond to what you CAN perceive and account for, and eat those foods. Nature takes care of the rest. Also. All these elements you mentioned represent a fraction of the nutrient profile that exists. most elements are unknown to science. The elements we do recognize are all given lots of play in literature why?.. because supplements have been manufactured for them,. . thus, our nutritional worries are largely a product of... marketing.
@@TheFreeMelonSociety wow thank you! I've always had a sneaking suspicion a lot of the "recommended daily allowance" was bs and marketing to make a profit off supplements because it seems so arduous to get everything you "need."
@@TheFreeMelonSociety youre awesome!
Loren Lockman is your guy as well when it comes to frugivores+proper water fasting
Eli gets it for sure!
spinach, parsley, cilantro are all totally enjoyable on their own for me
Most people who enjoy these things will say something to this effect yes. of course when tasked with making a meal of JUST cilantro, or JUST parsley (as seems to be the case throughout the natural world), or JUST any culinary flavor enhancer,....it is at that point generally when the realization i refer to kicks in. A grazing herbivore, can dine on grass all day every day and be perfectly content. If we were to attempt this with the purported enjoyable food (cilantro), we would be hit inevitably with the reality of cilantro's insuitability as a prime element of diet. Taking the same example from the fruit world, one could take JUST grapes for many weeks, and be in radiant health, with great satiation. A Mono-cilantro eater would take no such satisfaction from each meal, and not do nearly as well. Even though we might say "i like the taste of cilantro".. it's almost a sure fire guarantee that not once in the lifetime has that very person ever come home from a long day of work, famished and hungry, and eagerly loaded up a mixing bowl full of plain straight cilantro. A curious thing. On the other hand, you could definitely do this with plain straight (insert fruit of choice). Lastly, i think we would be lying to ourselves if we were forced to choose between a meal of mono cilantro, and a meal of mono (Any fruit). As humans, your taste buds will inevitably prefer the taste of a food that is more calorie concentrated. We barely have a choice in that matter, that's how the taste senses work. It's why obesity is problem. ----- NOTE ** None of this is being said to dissuade the use of cilantro, or parsley or spinach.. Pleeeeease please please don't mistake my intention. I've written this here not to discourage the use of healthy plants in the diet. I've written this so that we reconnect with what our senses AAActually reveal about the food we eat, and so that we are not under any delusions about what exactly we are. Does that make sense? I've added parsley and cilantro to maany many dishes before, and have no problem recommending them to anyone wanting to get healthy. These are very nutritious elements of the diet and well get you well. They make perfect flavor enhancers for sauces, salads and soups. What i have definitely Never done, nor ever will do, is Make a meal of a massive bowl of plain parsley. (nor will anyone else likely) All i'm doing is framing the concept so that we have a better idea of who and what we are with no cultural misconceptions. God bless my friend! enjoy!
thank you for writing. I had a gf who was the only person I ever saw eat mono cilantro basically lol. My friend and I joked "Handfuls of cilantro" whenever we needed a laugh. I agree with you wholeheartedly, and actually had a massive bowl of grapes TODAY when I came home lol. Peace be with you.
They are very dry. All dis-eases are caused from toxicity and dehydration.
They actually have toxins, as all herbs and vegetables have. Water rich lettuces have the least toxic effects, which is why some fruitarians make that exception.
@@TheFreeMelonSociety love your thoughtful replies thank you
Love your channe!
Thanks so much Brian ! I'm so glad 🙏
One thing I'm learning is that I eat way too much, thinking I have to get more nutrition.
Eli’s explanation of “protein” vs. amino acids 🏡 really just finally helped me understand the entire protein concept. Thank you for this interview Gillian & Eli!🙌🏽🙏🏽💖💖💖
I would love to eat more fruit. Whenever I do I pee so much like every 15-20 mins most of the day 😩 any tips to not pee so much? Thank you 🙏
So what do eat if you live in a northern climate and there is no fruit? According to seasonal availability?
i don't think Eli has ever struggled with that here in Canada ! neither have I as a raw vegan !
great stuff like citrus, grapes, apples etc in season in fall and winter !
and for me i add in some staples like bananas etc
and love the winter as a time to juice cleanse as well for a period !
xoxo
What would his sugar levels be 🤔
Watching these women get turned on, watching and listening to this guy is a trip. 🌟
This is the ultimate goal. Majority of my vegan diet are fruits.
that's great! fruits are awesome and do so much for us!! part 2 coming with Eli again soon!!
organic blueberries transport me to 5D everytime, their taste is so unexplainable, nothing compares.
I’m towards the end of the video. I wanted to hear him get more specific as to why exactly lead him to go just fruits. Does he think it is better than greens or than a fruit and green diet?
I did a part two I will share soon !!
He did go a bit into that in both videos I believe.
And we are pretty close friends now so I will
def have him back for third time and ask him to expand more on that !
Actually wished I liked sweet potatoes. I get da purple ones here. Heard they are good for you but I don’t like them a whole lot. I’m not raw or vegan. Am vegetarian am have wanted to eat high raw but I really love cooked foods. And i prefer fruits to greens. It’d be really hard for me to eat just or mainly fruits in the winter as I get cold easily and I live in Hawaii
Hi all, I am currently 304 lbs. If I do the fruits diet and eat nothing but fruits/veggies, I know I will definitely lose a lot of weight, but the question is, will I end up with loose skin?and if yes, is there way to avoid that?
hey i would dm Bobby Smith at fruit up and ask him ! he lost 150lbs
